Happy Rhodes - Tragic

Tragic
I see you because you are tragic
And I need you for the same
There's a little bit of you in me
You can't escape what you became
You have the look of ill fate about you
You and all your brothers too
And I reach out as if I contain the antidote
But of course I don't
I see you because you are tragic
And I need you for the same
There's a little bit of you in me
You can't escape what you became
Although we share pain and despair
Somehow you are predisposed to
Suffer the most
I see you because you are tragic
I'll look for you in the rain
[lyrics uncertain here]
The roots you wanted to grow
Will never take you know
Cause this is all just an exercise
And you're not alone
I see you because you are tragic
And I need you for the same
There's a little bit of you in me
You can't escape what you became
I see you because you're so tragic
And I need you for the same
(Reason)
There's a little bit of you in me
I'll look for you in the rain
I see you because you are tragic
And I need you for the same
There's a little bit of you in me
You can't escape what you became
I see you because you're so tragic
And I need you for the same
(Reason)
There's a little bit of you in me
I'll look for you in the rain

listening to these words it is obvious that it comes from experience and i find her song and singing close to the Divine...

[@em.c.spiteri6161]

What a nice, yet a sad song.

[@terigower]

in her life she takes in sick stray and unwanted cats on her farm...i love her voice and the songwriting is all self taught..

[@luvperu1]

Hello MAry ..it is so nice to hear from you !! The singer
has a lovely voice....and the song very meaningful !!
the images show so many unhappy situations..hopefully
they all were adopted...Good evening to you...Polly

[@terigower]

to my mind this songwriter is closer to Reality and Spirituality,and in her words Love and deep understanding remain...i could listen to her a thousand times Polly and never tire....in her own life she takes in sick and stray cats that are unwanted....you are right the song has great meaning.....

[@terigower]

so glad you found this song ...i was thinking of you today..i love these words
and feel this song is truly beautiful and almost a Prayer.....

[@terigower]

the Strays and homeless touch my heart and the Misused....my prayer is always that Gods hand will help them ...through Rescuers who know Love, that resides in us All and that each Soul is counted as part of our own...

[@weeyin1155]

[@terigower]

i believe we are all part of another...... God Bless you my dear friend

Oreo headed back to his stable after he was spooked he took fright and bolted..
he was lightly sedated and taken care of...and transported to his stable ..now on to a Sanctuary...he is only six years old..and is the black and white Gelding on the slideshow....

[@weeyin1155]

God help him my friend. ♥

Oreo only suffered a cut to his face...the two Occupants of the overturned Carriage went to hospital with the driver...but only had minor injuries,,

[@terigower]

Joan Cuthill
amazingly Oreo i read stopped at a Red Light as he was trained to do
even in his panic

[@terigower]

showing some sadness

[@whynotgivitago]

Hi Mary sad but thought provoking, its also good to think animal cruelty has come a long way over the years and is no longer acceptable in so many countries

[@terigower]
