I went down to the place
Where I knew she lay waiting
Under the marble and the snow
I said, Mother I'm frightened
The thunder and the lightning
I'll never come through this alone
She said, I'll be with you
My shawl wrapped around you
My hand on your head when you go
And the night came on
It was very calm
I wanted the night to go on and on
But she said,

Go back to the World

L.C.

sleep well...sweet lady

today

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close,
I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
I just had to trust imagination

My heart going boom boom boom

"Son," he said, "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."

To keepin' silence
I resigned
My friends would think
I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day

Tho' my life was in a rut
'Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery

My heart going boom boom boom

"Hey," he said, "grab your things, I've come to take you home."

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes, but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant

My heart going boom boom boom

"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."

Peter Gabriel

imagine me here

To Italy I go, by way of England. Images to come, but this is where I'll be, writing postcards at that desk.... (HA because I'm so GOOD at that, am I not?)
