For The Big Man

When your 'ship went down' we where there for you.

You where never 'Alone' did you know that was true?

Our love went beyond your songs, the man on stage.

Beyond the rock star fame, adorning every front page.

 

We read your lyrics, we felt the emotion and your pain.

We prayed that your demons would be forever slain.

A fairer world you sung about, a return of hope and pride.

A better world for all you wanted, for peace worldwide.

 

But with the passing of time, you met your darkest hour.

The dreams had all but faded, no more desert flower.

The World let you down Big Man, in more ways than one.

Now that World is a poorer place, now that you are gone.

 

 

Miss ya loads fella!....we all do.

Thank you, the poem is about Stuart Adamson leader of rock band
Big Country, I got to know Stauart he was a lovely, genuine down to earth guy and success didn't change him one bit. Unfortunately Staurt had a problem with drink and depression although it seemed under control he took his own life in 2001 aged just 43.
