loss

This song reminds me, reminds me of all the people that have left this life. My Pop Pop, Grandpa, Aunt Flo, Mr W., Aunt Clare, Uncle Bunny, Anne-Marie, Bob, some way too young, others at the end of a long life.

Reminds me of those that I will lose in future, some sooner than later.

All are and will be missed.




Just A Dream
(Griffin House)

I don't think you know how much time I spend
As I wait on my own contemplating ends
I am torn in the middle of a world that won't let loose
I hang here before you, though invisible the noose

I love you if you drink; I love you if you smoke
I love you for the words you stuck inside my throat
I love you for the sin; and the way you turned away
And I'll heal you in the darkness
And I'll hold you to the day

All you are now is only just a dream
Can you fall down in following me?
All you are now is only just a dream
Can you fall down in following me?

And I walk up those steps
Where we used to go at night
And my fingers trace the stairwell
And I am back in time
I just need your warmth to lay with me and find

All you are now is only just a dream
Can you fall down in following me?
All you are now is only just a dream
Can you fall down in following me?

There are days that I go driving, Dad
When the memory gets too strong
So I can go on living to the beauty of our song
I fall in to your rhythm, your beauty I do fly
I rush into your melody, I linger till I die

All you are now is only just a dream
Can you fall down in following me
All you are now is only just a dream
Can you fall down in following me?

And I've been here with the pain
Since the very first day
I've been swearing in my rage
"Oh Holy Day!"
I sit around, your salvation waits
I'm just getting nervous, babe
As I anticipate

All you are now is only just a dream
Can you fall down in following me?
All you are now is only just a dream
Can you fall down in following me?
