Thank you my friends. Long holiday, some at the inlaws (not the horror show of Thanksgiving, thank God), and working overtime, so not a lot of time for lengthy pontificating. No lyrics in a while, so here's a song courtesy of my H. He sent me this email a few nights ago:
Quote: The lyrics to the Adam Again song "River on Fire." While not completely relevant to you and I, it is the saddest song I have ever heard.
NOTE: the Cuyahoga River runs through Cleveland and, at one time, was so polluted that it caught on fire. In this song, its just an image of the impossible coming true. I think Gene Eugene (the songwriter) was drawing a parallel to the pollution in a marriage which leads to irreconcilable differences; the point at which it's just too volitile to do anything but catch fire and burn.
what would you say if you knew what i was thinking? maybe you do but you know not to dig too deep what if i knew what you needed for sure? i've seen in your eyes you need more, much more
and i could be happy, and you could be miserable i'll grab a metaphor out of the air the cuyahoga river on fire
what can you say, the impossible happens what can you settle for? what can you live without? i remember the night i first darkened your door and i swore that i loved you my heart was pure
you could be happy and i could be miserable i'll grab a metphor out of the air the cuyahoga river on fire
my open window, a dream in the dark my fingers, your face a spark, a trace i could be happy and you could be miserable i'll grab a metaphor out of the air the cuyahoga river on fire
i know a lot about the history of cleveland, ohio disasters that have happened there like the cuyahoga river on fire
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Is 43:18-19
If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. Hab 2:3
