午夜的天堂酒吧

晚上累到攤掉的眼睛突然被一個朋友的MSN暱稱嚇到
因為他的暱稱寫著另一個朋友已經過世的消息
其實我和他根本不算熟，只是剛好有蠻多共同的朋友
所以算是知道彼此的存在，路上碰到會聊幾句的程度

認識他是在當年只有透過BBS認識音樂同好的時期
大家常常會約出來一起討論音樂
老實說我現在很多好朋友都是在那個時期認識的
後來開始工作之後，也慢慢淡出BBS的圈子
沒想到幾年過後，竟然在前同事的新工作又遇見他
原來他和我的前同事竟然變成了同事
說起來這種緣份真的很妙

前幾年聽說他得癌症，那時很驚訝
但是後來聽說化療後情況有比較好
所以本來以為他會和我另一位同學一樣保持下去
(我另一位同學在癌症化療後目前在當大學教授)
結果今天聽到他過世的消息真的很震驚
只能感嘆他年紀輕輕就離開人世

送上的是他最愛Madonna的Live To Tell



Madonna / Live To Tell

I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall

Chorus:

A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me

I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me

(chorus)

2nd Chorus:

The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again

If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How could they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How would they hear
When would they learn
How would they know

(chorus)
(2nd chorus)
