    'The Last Thing on my Mind' done by various artists. Written by (I forget who now).

    'The weeds have been steadily growing,
    this I know, this I know.
    Are you going away with no word of farewell,
    will there be nothing else left behind.
    I could have loved you better,
    didn't mean to be unkind,
    you know that was the last thing on my mind."

    Oh, Elise it doesn't matter what you do
    I know I'll never really get inside of you
    To make your eyes catch fire
    The way they should
    The way the blue could pull me in
    If they only would, if they only would
    At least I'd lose this sense of sensing
    Something else that hides away
    From me and you, there are worlds to part
    With aching looks and breaking hearts
    And all the prayers your hands can make
    Oh, I just take as much as you can throw
    And then throw it all away

    A Letter To Elise
    The Cure

    Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land
    Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land
    The eagles dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand

    I'm into country and currently one of my favorite lines is "Honor thy father, honor thy mother, but the bible doesn't a damn thing 'bout your daddy's lover"

    Black Nepalese, it's got you weak in your knees
    Seeds and dust that you got bust on
    You know it's hard to believe

    It's nice to have a wife in the house....... As long as she's not your own.

    From the ENO translation of Verdi's opera 'La Traviata'.

    Time to look at the classics... everything is already covered, and eloquently so.

    Breathe deep the gathering gloom
    Watch lights fade from every room
    Bedsitter people look back and lament
    Another day's useless energy spent.

    Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,
    Lonely man cries for love and has none.
    New mother picks up and suckles her son,
    Senior citizens wish they were young.

    Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
    Removes the colors from our sight.
    Red is grey and yellow white,
    But we decide which is right.
    And which is an illusion
    ~Graeme Edge of the Moody Blues
    RIP
