A sad song about rejection by a lover who wants material things! And the sufferer going to Laos to join the monks to forsake the world.
Stan loves music, is published (EMI/Capitol), and has experience performing on radio and TV when it was live in the good old days. These days he's just writing
Songwriter of pop, country, inspirational songs. I like to write. I travel a lot to Asia...so my music may have an Asian influence.
Lyrics
A Heart That Cries
© August 22, 2013 Stanley Loh
Chorus
Dm
It is diamond rings, and sparkling things around your pretty neck?
Dm
Those Cadillacs, and drivers in black, and Louis Vuitton bags,
Gm
Well I ain’t got that kind of money to spare,
Dm
And I ain’t quite a billionaire,
A7 Dm
But all I own is a heart that cares!
Verse 1
Dm
I know you’re not kidding,
Dm
When you say that you’re leaving,
Gm
It’s not about future,
Gm
You’re craving for stature,
Dm A
I’ve been so blind … for so long,
Dm F
You’re the kind who seeks possessions,
Gm Dm
And I’ve been unkind … unkind to your mission,
Chorus
Dm
Is it diamond rings, and sparkling things around your pretty neck?
Dm
Those Cadillacs, and drivers in black, and Louis Vuitton bags,
Gm
Well I ain’t got that kind of money to spare,
Dm
And I ain’t quite a billionaire,
A7 Dm
And all I own is a heart that cares!
Verse 2
Dm
You know I’ll be leaving,
Dm
To Vientiane I’m going,
Gm
I’m told there is peace there,
Gm
Where my mind floats on clean air,
Dm A
Where my temper meditates,
Dm F
Where my freedom radiates!
Gm Dm
So leave, please leave … I now capitulate!
Chorus 1
Dm
Is it saffron robes, and begging bowls around my sun burnt back,
Dm
With shaven head I look ahead with nothing in my sack,
Gm
Well nirvana and I are friends in the sky,
Dm
And I really don’t care why,
A7 Dm
For all I own is a heart that cries!
Verse 3
Dm
Expected awakening,
Dm
No ghost trains are waiting,
Gm
My sorrow will dry up,
Gm
New dreams fill my sweet cup,
Dm A
I’ll find new loves to hold,
Dm F
They’ll have hearts full of gold,
Gm Dm
I’ll be rich, so rich a thousand fold!
Repeat Chorus 1
