Keane - Atlantic

I hope all my days
Will be lit by your face
I hope all the years
Will hold tight our promises

I don't wanna be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don't wanna be old and feel afraid

I don't wanna be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don't wanna be old and feel afraid

And if I need anything at all

I need a place
That's hidden in the deep
Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep
Though all the world is broken

I need a place
Where I can make my bed
A lover's lap where I can lay my head
Cos now the room is spinning
The day's beginning

Evening...

Its evening, I'm hungry and its been a long quiet and completely uneventful day so far. In large part thats a welcome thing, as I've been moving new furniture in most of the week. I'm tired of moving. Its to hot to move all this crap around...

So I'm sitting her in the dark on the new couch blabbing away about nothing. I don't know why I'm even bothering.

Quotes for the evening

The greatest mystery is not that we have been flung at random between the profusion of matter and of the stars, but that within this prison we can draw from ourselves images powerful enough to deny our nothingness.

- Andre Malraux

Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
- W. Somerset Maugham

Bubbling brook

In the meadows of this wide old world
On winds with whispers long enswirled
In moonlights silver cloak unfurled
He awaits you in a dream

Near the coolness of a bubbling brook
In the shadow you watched what barely shook
As something crooked out to have a look
And in yours eyes set a gleam

Was a slender wolf with a shaggy tail
Looking hungry and just a bit to frail
It drew deep breaths as if to wail
When it saw you by the stream

And its pink soft toungue hung idly by
It stretched its legs and yawned a sigh
He lay down to watch this passerby
Who was more than they would seem

So to you dear dreamer near the water
Dare you fearfully to creep and totter
To the wolf whose breath is growing hotter
Or instead, will you just scream

Or instead, will you just scream

Child

Little me in you I see
I'll hold you
Like it should have been

And give to all a little you
I'll be your guide
And see you through

For you I'll be a guiding light
A star afar in darkest night
A soothing voice to calm your fright
A force for you when you must fight

Let me be your memory
When sadness brings you to your knees
Of smiles and laughter in the spring
Of wind and creaking strength of trees

My only wish, my only dream
Is for you to shine and burn and gleam
Like sunlight pouring down the beam
To a golden ripple on the stream
