I used these on #266120 but maybe one of you cowboys with deeper voices would do a better job :-) or take it in another direction...

Please dont say I didn’t try
‘Cos That’s the way it seems
And those that didn’t fly
my soul was in those dreams

And I tried ,
deep down you know I did
I tried not to fail ,
And I tried
no god forbid
You know You know I did
And I sighed, what was that all about
And I cried when the bottom fell out
Of our world

The words have no meaning now
Just the lyrics to a pop song
The words have no feeling now
To me they just sound wrong
And I tried ,
deep down you know I did
I tried not to fail ,
And I tried
no god forbid then I tried I did
Then I sighed, what was that all about
And I cried when the bottom fell out
Of our world

When the sky came crashing down
And silence was the only sound
Why didn’t you just turn around turn around
I shrugged, deep sighs, lost plans of youth
Not exactly lies but lacking in any real truth
I did I tried I tried

And I tried
When it didn’t work out
And I lied
When I wanted to shout
And I sighed
At the way it turned out
And I lied
When I wanted to shout Lets start again!

If someone had told me that one day I played with musicians from all over the world I would have taken for a madman. Today this is real! Thanks Dick
