REALISATION written by Sheldon Manoo (1996)


Walk out in the street
With my guitar in hand
Playing all the blues
Cause I’m a sorrowful man
They say love is blind
Guess I couldn’t see
Now I’m facing
She’s not with me

It’s been so long
I had many chances
To say to her
All the precious things
But I kept those words
All to myself
Now I’m alone
She’s got someone else
Oh damn!

(solo)

Loving a complicated man
Ain’t easy for a simple girl
She tried to find
Common ground for us to hold
            She’d see it my way
            I’d never see it hers
            And now it’s over
            I’m the one who suffers

And I realize
Too much time was spent
Making up excuses
For times I faltered
Also realized
That the day she went
We ain’t ever gonna
Stand at the altar, oh no!

Staring at a photo of her
Tears they began to flow
Cause throughout my life
She’s the best girl I know
I’d change my career
To be hers again
Cause I broke the barriers
That I shoulda defend

And I realize
Too much time was spent
Making up excuses
For times I faltered
Also realized
That the day she went
We ain’t ever gonna
Stand at the altar, oh no!
