STORY BEHIND WHEN LOVE ENDS
An old man sitting on a wheel chair contemplates heavy clouds passing by. Reflecting on life, love and his weak condition, he concludes that just as everything else around him eventually reaches an end, so can love also end. What once might have seamed solid and true can quickly become a mirage, an illusion and so he concludes nothing really lasts for ever. Life's uncertainty can become as overwhelming as that huge cloud passing by; a force so greater than yourselves all you can really do is give up and let yourself be dragged and pushed without compassion nor mercy. With visitors dwindling in numbers and a wife sometimes present, no one can really offer what he most desires.. warmth. His high energy gone, the desire for flesh or passion no longer matters nor appeals to him. With plenty of time at his side he begins to draw the same conclusion penned thousands of years ago 'everything is vanity and a striving against the the wind'. His mind has no choice but to concentrate on his debilitating body and the pain it now brings. And when he finds sparse but brief moments of time when the pain is absent, such as this time, he contemplates his surroundings, meditates and begins to pen the words to this song. Ben

When Love Ends
Click to see the original lyrics (Spanish)
Meant to be sang in English:
When you see a life become empty…and like a passing cloud tossed with no mercy…then you know..that love ends
And when the same hand that held you … turns on you leaves you.. then you know that love ends
And when an oath made when in love ... does not stand and breaks..then you know that love ends
And when a hart that just gives and gives....reaches a breaking point and is never be whole again ... then you know that love ends
And when a most beautiful wedding... also becomes day you are given a chain so heavy.. so can love end
And when a most common affection...becomes routine and deception...then you know that love, ends
Because we're like moving waters in a river...something newer always flowing .... so can love end
AND because the desire for passion..can also be taken away with no compassion......So can Love end ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Because time and life are uncertain..AND what seams solid never is... because nothing lasts for ever.. even the need for a beautiful thing dies... So can love ends ! ! !
Repeat lines 3-9
End
