Broken Man

A Northwest winter wind swept through night
and it chilled John Lee to his very bones
He walks alone in the frozen moonlight
His shadow chasing him home
Down a lonely path through an unlocked door
He wanders in
A faded picture on a dusty shelf looks back at him

Thirteen years a go he took a wife
An angel by the name of Cheryl Ann
Just three years later a drunk driver took her life
It left John Lee a Broken Man

Sometimes at night he hears her voice call his name
He holds her in his heart but it's not the same

Haunted by the memory of Cheryl Ann
John Lee he cries the tears of a Broken Man

Tonight John Lee's decided he's had enough
The heartache hurts too much "I can't go on"
He puts on a record of Cheryl Ann's favorite song
And he loads a shell in his twelve gauge shotgun

in a darkened room he sits alone as the music plays
He turns the gun on himself and he starts to pray
Dear God in heaven forgive me
I Love You Cheryl Ann
John Lee he cries a Prayer of a Broken Man

Very nice treatment. I like the acoustic work. Nice vocal delivery on a sad subject.

Thanks Wookie.
Been at this a long long time.
When I decided to develop this song, I could not rest till it was complete. The guitar track was worked out note for note by tedious repeated trial and error to the point that I can forever play this one verbatim anytime anyplace without thinking about it. I appreciate your kind comments. I strive to be as versatile as the giants of music that influence my own expressions.

Description : A track I did with a friend ages ago. I play the guitar and he sang and wrote the lyrics. The lyrics came mostly from headlines in the newspaper that sunday. Recorded using a crappy old microphone direct into cubase with a few overdubs

Description : Now also on Spotify, Apple and Bandcamp! Link in bio, as the cool kids say - yes yes, I know you can listen here, and you should, but if you could give me a play on the streamings that would also be massively appreciated.
============================
This is not my story, but someone very dear to me... the lyrics are pretty close to what they said. What they said and the pain they felt touched me and I hope you can hear that in the song.

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day :)
