billy joel - honesty

há dias, estava eu a ouvir uma estação de rádio de seu nome m80, quando, no alinhamento surge uma música da minha infância e que há algum tempo não ouvia.
fui logo ao site da rádio e fiquei a saber que se tratava de honesty de billy joel.
depois de ter pesquisado, fiquei a saber que é uma faixa do album 52nd street que, curiosamente foi lançado poucos meses após o meu nascimento...
aqui fica a letra e uma versão de 2006, que não está muito diferente da original, apesar dos anos que já passaram...
espero que gostes.

Letra

If you search for tenderness
it isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live.
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can always find someone
to say they sympathize.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can find a lover.
I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end.
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again.
I know, I know.

When I'm deep inside of me
don't be too concerned.
I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone.
But when I want sincerity
tell me where else can I turn.
Because you're the one I depend upon.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
