Story Behind The Song
I wrote this when I broke up with someone I once loved very much... I pondered the reasons why we didn't make it... when our love seemed so beautiful... and so real.
Song Description
This is about the disintegration of a once beautiful and gentle love affair... and the lament of why it all went wrong... lyrically, this is my favourite of all my songs... it is poetic and beautifully eloquent.. with soaring vocals and a great 'live' saxaphone player !

Lyrics
"COURAGE?
c 1990 Karina Di Fabio
1. I had a vision of someone like you in my dreams.
A long time ago. But time passed. With only love left behind.
I walked away. I didn?t know what I would find.
But you and I, we fell in love too quickly. I realized.
The blindness of our passion. And I don?t know what we?re left
with as I see you walk away.
With our gentle love in ruins, I just wish that you would stay.
CHORUS : Courage is fear that?s said it?s prayers.
I reach out. But I know that you?re not there.
And if I want you to love me. I have to let you go.
2. I thought I knew from the time I?d spent with him.
All the things I shouldn?t say. And all the games I?d never play.
A decision. To make our love reality. But you and I. We both
got lost along the way.
And purity has been stained by good intentions.
I feel so sad. I don?t know what went wrong.
Oh baby. I?m just afraid that it?s too late. With our gentle love
in ruins...
Is there nothing left but hate.
