"They said I shot a man named Grey, and took his wife to Italy, she inherited a million bucks, and when she died it came to me"

-Bob Dylan ~ Idiot Wind-

An oldie, from 2004

As I take another sip of tea
I look at your across the table
You said you got a job across the sea
And suddenly I’m unstable
I think of falling right to the floor
I know you love me and I love you more
I want so much to tell you to stay
But when I try all I can say is

I’ve been through rainy days
Monsoons and hurricanes
But I’ve never done something so hard
Watching you leave

You did yoga at two a.m.
I tried so hard to be Bob Dylan
You at cereal for dinner
I drank your beer and sang you sappy songs
We got along so well
You were the dawn after a starry night
But now you’re leaving for foggy London
And my friends lie, they say I’ll be alright

I’ve been through rainy days
Monsoons and hurricanes
But I’ve never done something so hard
Watching you leave

When I think about all the good times
That we’ll never have
I get so sad
But I know I could have it
So much worse

I’ve been through rainy days
Monsoons and hurricanes
But I’ve never done something so hard
As being here without you

Hallelujah

"its goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king compsing hallelujah"
-Leondard Cohen ~ Hallelujah-

It's been raining since Monday
But I've been drinking since Sunday
Black clouds on the horizon
Rattle the bottles with His announcements
I lit my lantern in the hallway
Shadows dancing like angels
And I've been thinking of Virginia
And moving south, moving out

But I'll sing glory, glory, hallelujah
Hallelujah, glory glory
Hallelujah

Flickering fire of my lantern
Speaks to me like a music box
Fading in and out of favor
Changing my world with the winds
Clocks are ticking without reason
This storm has stopped my world still
Darkness enters following the cold
My heart is heavy in this place

But I'll sing glory, glory, hallelujah
Hallelujah, glory glory
Hallelujah
