Irish Selection 1998:
Jo Collins - "Overload"

Overload

Too many roses, too many tears
Too many promises disappear
Too many suns setting over the hill
Too many wishes unfulfilled

Too much staying up late at night
Too much waking in the early light
Too much looking back into the past
Too much water flowing by too fast

I suppose if you live this way
There has to come the day you go into overload
And I know you can't turn around, but listen
Somehow you've got to slow; you've got to slow it down

Too many letters fall in the door
Too many photographs stuck in the drawer
Too many hours spent wondering why
Too many reasons to say goodbye

Too many waves breaking onto the beach
Too much treasure just out of reach
Too much searching for what might be
Too much pain in a memory

I suppose if you live this way
There has to come the day you go into overload
And I know you can't turn аround, but listen
Somehow you've got to slow; you've got to slow it down
You've got to ѕlow it down
