Back in the day there was a great singer/guitar player by the name of Roy Orbison... His style usually started out soft and slow and then worked up gradually to a crescendo... He had a fantastic way to get an audience up and going! Sometimes He would leave part way through a song while his band members played on just like in this song...and then He would come back and finish the song... I am adding this song to my Music Interludes for the 4:30 PM hour "Running Scared"!!! Enjoy!!!
LYRICS:
"Running Scared" by Roy Orbison
Just runnin' scared each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin' scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you
Just runnin' scared, feelin' low
Runnin' scared, you love him so
Just runnin' scared, afraid to lose
If he came back which one would you choose
Then all at once he was standing there
So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking, which one would it be
You turned around and walked away with me.

I actually saw one of his concerts back in about 1964. His drummer wanted to to take my sister out after the concert but my dad insisted I chaperone them. Roy Orbison and his bride (Her name may have been Claudette, but CRS has me) agreed because my sister was only 17. So the five of us went to Denney's and spent a couple of hours BSing and having breakfast. Mr. & Mrs. Orbison were very nice and home-spun folks. I don't remember the drummer at all, other than he didn't get to spend one second with my sister without three sets of eyeballs watching his every move.

"Only the lonely"
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feeling ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart
But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feeling ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart
But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely

SGT (Join to see) - And he could put so much emotion into his words. One more comment of having breakfast with the Orbisons. Not one person recognized him. We had breakfast and chatted undisturbed by anyone else. But he wore regular prescription glasses, not his trademark smoked glasses. He did leave a nice tip because we stayed so long -- I think it was at least 50% of the bill.
