stephansam,

First off, and most importantly, welcome to JPF! I hope you find it as open and inviting as I have in my short time here. (Well, I say "short time," and it seems that way, but I guess I'm coming up on a year and a half plus!).

Anyways, I was surprised to see this one pop up again--actually, I kinda forgot about it as I moved on to a few other new tunes. For what it's worth, I have rewritten the first verse. It now goes:

(V) It’s not your fault, I know;
but I can read the writing in your eyes;
so you know, it shouldn't really come as a surprise--
just shows even all the best things fall apart,
however hard you try.
I wonder where it goes—
how love comes to your heart
then disappears.

But really I have to thank you for bringing this one back to my attention. I played around with it last night and actually think this will be my next MP3 project. So stay tuned . . . and hope I can make it sound OK.

All the best,

Deej
