Here Come Those Tears Again
Music Therapy Lesson
I have always been one to take solace in lyrics, that is probably why I enjoy writing poetry so much. I have been a poet since the age of seven, with many poems published over the years, but, unfortunately, I never had any of my poems produced in the form of a song.
Every day, as a Professional Tarot Reader, I speak to clients who are longing for a loved one to return. Along with the tarot reading, if they are interested in listening, I try to encourage them to truly examine their feelings for the person in question to be sure that they, indeed, do want the lover in question to return.
As you may have very well noticed, if you are one of my regular “blog” audience members, I frequently refer to lyrics to express my sentiments and make my points.
So, if you are out there pining for a lost love, please read these lyrics, and if you are like me, the song will play, (and possibly become stuck), in your head.
What I want you to do is to truly “feel” the song.
Is the person you are missing worthy of all of the grief you are feeling?
When you were together were they kind and caring toward you?
When you were together did they make you feel hurt and anxious on a regular basis?
People do change, but they don’t change in significant quantities in a timely manner. True change takes place over extended time and it is intentional and practiced, not just a brief change to get you back for their own purposes with a quick reversal back to old behaviors.
Listen to this song in your head.
Feel the emotions.
When the song is over, how does the very last line make you feel?
I’ll ask that again after your review the lyrics.
Here Come Those Tears Again
(Jackson Browne & Nancy Farnsworth)
Baby here we stand again
Like we've been so many times before
Even though you looked so sure
As I was watching you walking out my door
But you always walk back in like you did today
Acting like you never even went away
Well I don't know if I can
Open up and let you in baby
Here come those tears
Here come those tears again
I can hear you telling me
How you needed to be free
And you had some things to work out alone
Now you're standing here telling me
How you have grown
Here come those tears again
Now you'll tell me how to hold them in
Here come those tears
Here come those tears again
Some other time baby
When I'm strong and feeling fine maybe
When I can look at you without crying
You might look like a friend of mine
But I don't know if I can
Open up enough to let you in
Here come those tears
Here come those tears again
Just walk away
I'm going back inside and turning out those light
And I'll be in the dark but you'll be out of sight
Okay. Now, how do you feel about the person who has been so heavily on your mind for days, weeks or months?
How does this part “And I’ll be in the dark but you’ll be out of sight”, specifically, make you feel?
Does it make you feel sad? Ok, maybe you still love the lost one and perhaps they were kind to you.
Or does it make you feel empowered? If so, you may very well be on your way to healing and moving past this broken dream.
Look at your estranged lover without the mist in your eyes from your tears. Look at the real person behind the heartache you are feeling.
Were you always the one wanting more and getting less?
Were you always anxious or worried that they would ultimately leave?
What about the happy times, were they truly happy?
Think about it.
Is it time for you to turn out the light?
