your love is gonna drown

The service for Eric Charles Eisenbraun will be held in Wall South Dakota at the Lutheran Church on March 16, 2007 at 2:00 PM.
Before he passed, Eric and I shared a lot of music, talked of football (he was a fierce competitor, whether friend or foe) and he often spoke of his love for his wife, sons and daughters. His death, like my mother's, was a tragedy for me and many others. A blow. Hard to recover from.

He liked this song ...


If I could open my arms
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan,
I'd bring it to where you are
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson
If I could open my mouth
Wide enough for a marching band to march out
They would make your name sing
And bend through alleys and bounce off all the buildings.

I wish we could open our eyes
To see in all directions at the same time
Oh what a beautiful view
If you were never aware of what was around you
And it is true what you said
That I live like a hermit in my own head
But when the sun shines again
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in.

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty or half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown [4x]

Your love is gonna drown [4x]
Your love is gonna...

  1. I like this song, too. I'm terribly sorry for your loss, but this was a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man.
