clocks

“Lights go out and I can’t be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
You’ve put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead (singing)
Come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple off my head (and a)
Trouble that can’t be named, tigers waiting to be tamed (singing)
You are, you are

Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks (gonna)
Come back and take you home, I could not stop, that you now know (singing)
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities (am I)
A part of the cure, or am I part of the disease (singing)

You are [x6]
And nothing else compares
Oh no nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

You are [continues in background]
Home, home, where I wanted to go [x4]”

Coldplay – “Clocks (Heaven & Earth Division mix)”

Last summer one song lifted me up out of myself and took me to a place where everything, and everyone, is good. Underworld – “Two Months Off”. For the rest of my life that song will be associated with that summer of beauty, tinted bittersweet by how it all came out. The best stories sometimes do that. The trick is to learn from the bad, but treasure the good.

At the moment I associate Clocks with some very good things in my life. Friends. Hope.

Last night I was walking over to Oceancide for a vid night,and I took a path much less traveled through Beacon Hill Park. I felt full, and colours were alive all around me. When I wandered back on to Dallas Road I saw the sun streaming through the clouds, beaming out across the islands. I had to stop and watch the show for a few minutes. I breathed.

I have GOT to get a digital cam. I see too much.

Things have been really good lately. Thanks. And we’re moving forward, aren’t we.
