Open Thread Post 65
I looked up Joan Osborne's version of the lyrics of this song (which is a remake of a 1966 song by Jimmy Ruffin...I prefer Joan's lyrics)...
"What Becomes of the Brokenhearted"...
As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, baby
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me, they come tumblin' down
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows, searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hopin' and prayin' for someone to care
Always movin' and goin' nowhere
I know I got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Help me, please
I'm searching though I don't succeed
For someone's love, there's a growing need
All is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
Tell me
Tell me, tell me
Oh, what becomes of the broken-hearted
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Ohh
The broken-hearted
Now departed
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone who cares
Now
Yep, I woke up again to this song in my head. The lyrics are the best ever. But, Joan and the band just bring it into my heart.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow! So strong! Beautiful…tears :( but thank you!
They become stronger. Your grief is making you stronger in a way you never imagined. My heart hurts for you. God is working through your grief. I don’t know you but I felt love for you the first time I saw you post.
