Rod Stewart Song

[spots]

There's an old Rod Stewart song which I have heard a couple of times but, its not one of his big ones, I can't remember the title or lyrics, but its about a boy and girl falling in love and then one dies I think. iAny ideas?

The Killing of Georgie ??

[Hiss]

could you be thinking of 'Mandolin Wind'?

When the rain came I thought youd leave
cause I knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
Through the darkest nights Ive ever known
If the mandolin wind couldnt change a thing
Then I know I love ya

Oh the snow fell without a break
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
I couldnt believe you kept a smile
Now I can rest assured knowing that weve seen the worst
And I know I love ya

Oh I never was good with romantic words
So the next few lines come really hard
Dont have much but what Ive got is yours
Except of course my steel guitar
Ha, cause I know you dont play
But Ill teach you one day
Because I love ya

I recall the night we knelt and prayed
Noticing your face was thin and pale
I found it hard to hide my tears
I felt ashamed I felt Id let you down
No mandolin wind couldnt change a thing
Couldnt change a thing no, no

The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
Could never, never change your mind

And I love ya
Yes indeed and I love ya
And I love ya
Lordy I love ya

i am sure the killing of georgie is not about a boy and a girl but about a gay guy who dies.

is it young hearts ?

[winkyridg]

Sorry i think its actually called young turks , young hearts speak free tonight time is on your side dont let em put you down dont let em push you around dont ever let them change your point of view , as you can see i'm not very computer literate sorry .

Did you find the song you're looking for, Spots?

My guess, if it's not "Young Turks" - which I think it probably is - and yes, it WAS one of his big ones - is it could well be "Here To Eternity" from the "Every Beat Of My Heart" album.

thanks everyone
I am mixing two songs up, the killing of Georgie and young turks.
I like both of them
best place I've found to listen to if you know the name of song & artist is "limewire"
thanks again
