lyrics

This is Larry Norman, and the music you're hearing today is from my new album So Long Ago The Garden. It's on MGM and it's about a lot of different things in life. It's an album that covers a lot of personal territory, and this next song is called Soul Survivor [Spoken]

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy
Don't leave me here alone don't let me be
The soul survivor of this tragedy

My life was good when she was hanging round
My love was flying so high and free
But when she left my dreams came tumbling down
Now I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy
Don't leave me here alone don't let me be
The soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm trying so hard to forget my pain
And leave my past behind
But when your life is suddenly filled with rain
You keep remembering how the sun used to shine

And I can't stand the loneliness the constant emptiness
Why has unhappiness come into my life
I spend my mornings waking and thinking
And cry my evenings late into the night

I never knew that things could go so wrong
Until this happened to me (and I'm telling you)
If you're in love you better hold on strong
Or be the soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy

Thanks Larry Norman for your tribute to America's veterans. This radio station has contributed broadcast time in the public interest to this this program, transcribed to the Veterans Administration in cooperation with the American Federation of Musicians. They all join me in saying here's to veterans [Spoken over background music]
