My Oh My

David Gray has long been a favourite artist of mine. I first bought one of his albums, 'White Ladder' in 2002. It's probably been played more than any other album since. Highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys not just good music but great lyrics as well.


This one resonated this morning...


What on earth is going on in my heart?
Has it turned as cold as stone?
Seems these days I don't feel anything
'Less it cuts me right down to the bone
What on earth is going on in my heart?

'Cause my oh my, you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind, I wanna tear it up
I try to fight it, try to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lot of love
It takes a lot of love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push on till the end
My oh my

What on earth is going on in my head?
You know I used to be so sure
You know I used to be so definite
Thought I knew, what love was for
I look around these days
I'm not so sure



My oh my, you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind, I wanna tear it up
I try to fight it, try to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lot of love
It takes a lot of love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push on till the end

My oh my, you know I just can't win
I burn it down it comes right back again
What kind of world is this we're living in?
Where you never win
It takes a lot of love
It takes a lot of love these days
To keep your heart from freezing
To keep your spirit free



My oh my, you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind, I wanna tear it up
I try to fight it, try to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lot of love
It takes a lot of love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push on till the end

And my oh my, you know it just don't stop
My oh my, you know it just don't stop
Just don't
My oh my, you know it just don't stop...
