Life's Crooked Road

Driving down the wrong road and knowing it,
The fork years behind, how many have thought
To pull up on the shoulder and leave the car
Empty, strike out across the fields; and how many
Are still mazed among dock and thistle,
Seeking the road they should have taken?
~Damon Knight, The Man in the Tree, 1984

Mother Mary come to me
For I am a wicked child
I have sinned and I am so confused and
I am a wicked child
I am a wicked child

I am the devil's son and
I wish I could be good for you
I walk a crooked mile
But I wish I could be good
I wish I could be good

If I could have kept the straight and narrow
If I could have kept the straight and narrow
And not have broke your heart
Not have broke your heart

Now I wake up in the night
Lying on my bed
It's tugging at my arms and legs
Like I was a marionette

Send baby Jesus
Surely it is time
Send baby Jesus
Let him radiate his light
Radiate his light 

Light up, light up...

We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light.  ~Mary Dunbar

I'll sing it one last time for you

Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up...

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

When the night falls

Nikon P90; F3.2; 2sec; ISO: 64; 4.6mm; WB Manual

Once the night falls, a whole new world awakes, releasing secret wishes sparkling in the dark...

The night gang started working
With a mile of southern road
As I watched
I got to thinking
You ain't never coming home
I looked out of nowhere
There was nobody at all
To get me help
To get through to you
I'm here making night calls

Night calls
Making night calls
Night calls
Making night calls

I tried too hard to reach you
But you must be moving fast
All my hopes about the future
Will just live on, Into the past
You know that it ain't easy
And the twilight starts to fade
Sittin here
In the chill of the morning
Thinking of the plans we made

Oh, night calls
Making night calls
Let it ring
The night calls
Making night calls
Oh, night calls
Give up those night calls

The Passing Time

Nikon P90; F4.5; 1/1000sec; ISO: 64; 18.8mm; WB: Manual

Time is flowing, people change, and everything goes away. Only places are left behind, the same old places which have once sheltered the passing time.

Who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows, only time?
And who can say if your love grows,
As your hearth chose, only time?

Who can say why your heart sights,
As your live flies, only time?
And who can say why your heart cries
when your love lies, only time?

Who can say when the roads meet,
That love might be ,in your heart?
and who can say when the day sleeps,
and the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart.....

Who can say if your love groves,
As your heart chose, only time?
And who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time?

Who knows? Only time
Who knows? Only time 

Time is Passing By...

Nikon P90; F8; 1/160sec; ISO: 64; 17mm; WB: Cloudy

The stars have gone from my sky

There's no light I can see
Colours are just shades of grey
And night is one with day

We'd only just begun
When dealt fate's cruellest blow
I wasted so much of our time
Pursuing glory, my crime

I dream of you still my darling
I feel your hand, in mine
I'll miss you always, my friend, my lover
My life will be just passing time

Bittersweet joy of memories
Your eyes, your smile, your kiss
Your love was my guiding light
Without you nothing feels right

I dream of you still, my darling
I taste your lips, on mine
I close my eyes, pretend you're here
And try to relive love again

I knew your love
You changed my life
You held my heart,
Right from the start,
You know you did...

You're here with me still, my darling
I feel your heart, in mine
The life that we'd planned is over,
But I'll never be alone
No, I'll never be alone
