"Wait" just for now

I keep hearing from everybody, asking me to use my sweet G's lyrics on this blog. He was an artist and a philosopher and I know you are eager for his words. Well, ladies and gentlemen, my brother was on an unfinished path.  I can lay the stone, and will be walking the path, his words on the tracks he left behind, and, I know, he will be holding my hand.  It'll be an epic journey, and I will be wishing he was with me, but I will have his voice.  Thank GOD.  So hold on, let me get his words protected and see how they will ultimately be shared with the universe.  This part, I can do.

For now I'll ask you all, to "Wait"

Feel I'm on the verge of some great truth 
Where I'm finally in my place 
But I'm fumbling still for proof 
And it's cluttering my space 
Casting shadows on my face 

I know I have a strength to move ahead 
I can hardly leave my room 
So I'll sit perfecty still 
And I'll listen for a tune 
When the mind is on the moon 

And if I stumble 
And if I stall 
And if I slip now 
And if I should fall 
And if I cant be all that I could be 
Will you, will you wait for me 

Cause everywhere I seem to be 
I am only passing through 
I dream these days about the sea 
Always wake up feeling blue 
Wishing I could dream of you
 
So if I stumble 
And if I fall 
And if I slip now 
And loose it all 
And if I can't be all that I could be 

Will you, will you wait for me
Please wait for  me

bye bye blackbird

49 days, give or take


Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Closed your eyes and trusted, just trusted?
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face and said, "I just don't care"?

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning
The breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breath before the kiss
And the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?




There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee,
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar


Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight?
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight?
Tonight 




P!nk
