New Lyrics for Life

Earlier, maybe 3 weeks ago, maybe longer I posted something about how Old Man (Neil Young) felt appropriate (24 and there's so much more...live alone in a paradise that makes me think of two). Well I've been listening to Blood on the Tracks a bunch recently.

So my new soundtrack is Simple Twist of Fate, and moreover Shelter from the Storm. This campaign is turning out to be a challenge, emotionally and otherwise. But I feel buffeted, and secure...and I think I'll be alright...I'll make it through this challenge.

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

It's a nice song. It's a nice feeling. I'm so tired right now, weary from top to bottom. But that's alright.
