Holidays

by THE LONELY WILD

Get yourself together
Prepare for bad weather
Holidays are coming
To rip your heart open.

I’ll be in the kitchen
Fixing up a drink. Go
Put your face on
Pretend nothing’s wrong

Did you get just what you wanted?
Every year is haunted
With failure and promise
Keeping us honest

Go get yourself together
Prepare for bad weather
Holidays are coming
To rip your heart open

Just don’t freak out
Just don’t let me down

Feel the days falling
Early in the morning
Hide under the covers
Until you hear the fireworks

People start singing
Sleigh bells keep drinking
Miracles are waiting
To be found in the gutter

The myth, it hangs on us
Holding the promise
That you don’t have to worry
love is gonna conquer

Go get yourself together
Prepare for bad weather
Holidays are coming
To rip your heart open

Just don’t freak out
Just don’t let me down

Towards Love

Thursday, June 29th, 2017, 9:51 am · by @bradfornow · in Words

I have packed my parcels
Each, in hope, wrapped
With love

Bundled wants and dreams
Ideas of future things
And love

They fit in well-worn cases
Stamped from those past
I’ve loved

I stand gazing at the glowing way
Marked out with lighted signs
Of love

I leave them there, my precious packs
Unburdening my heart and mind
For love

I step into the shining path
With a wind behind my back
Towards love

Striking and curiously rare
A beauty among the drought
Providence placed you there
A hope among the doubt

A succulent in an espresso cup

A succulent in an espresso cup…

You are the Light

You are the Light

by THE INNOCENCE MISSION

And I would like to cry in the car
The blue violet hills and the voice of Neil Young
I left the flowers outside your door
Your curtains were flying
Though you were not at home

And I can only say that I have hoped for you
Safety from fears and darkness
Are you feeling better than before?

There’s a hidden life for everyone
Sorrow remains though you can tell no-one
The Host on your tongue is a perfect moon
It does shine inside you
You shine into the room

And I can only say that I have hoped for you
Safety from fears and darkness
Are you feeling better than before?

Down in the hallways in wintertime
There is your great kindness
And you are the light

And I can only say that I have hoped for you
Safety from fears and darkness
Are you feeling better than before?

And I can only say that I have hoped for you
Safety from fears and darkness
Are you feeling better than before?
