A Girl Called Johnny

I remember a girl called Johnny
Black as hell, white as a ghost
"Don't talk about life or death"
She said "I've had enough of both"

I remember a girl called Johnny
The train came to town, boy she got on it
Without looking back and with barely a word
If she said goodbye, I never heard
But the noise goes on, the noise, the jazz

The truth is in somebody elses hands

Exit Music (For A Film)

Wake from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today we escape, we escape

Pack and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose

Breathe, keep breathing
Don't lose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone

Nature Boy

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea


And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings
This he said to me

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

Magnolia

Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had

You whisper "Good morning"
So gently in my ear
I'm coming home to you, babe
I'll soon be there

Green Eyes

Honey, you are a rock upon which I stand
And I come here to talk, I hope you understand

I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter
Now I met you

Retrace

I find every subtle thing screams your name, it reminds me of places and times we shared
Couldn't live locked in these memories, now I'm chained to my thoughts again

I replay your voice, it's like you're here
You move the earth but now the sky is falling

As Lovers Go

January 18, 2012.
That is today. For me anyway.
By the time you get here it'll be the future as far as I'm concerned.

Speaking of the future reminds me of time and just how deceptive it is. Feel free to check out my post "It's Only Natural" from February 2009 (to boost my numbers) and to delve into my past self's idea of time.

Time. It's our past, present and future. It surrounds us in every possible way, but there is absolutely nothing we can do to affect it. We can only do our our best to take opportunities that present themselves or we'll be left to rue the time wasted and chances lost.

Merlin knows you don't want to be caught wasting precious time reading some half-assed blog in a lonely part of the internet.


I'll be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier.
I'll be yours my dear and I'll belong to you if you'll just let me through.

I've got to be honest I've been waiting for you all my life.
