Prison Grove
Originally published at My Notes. Please leave any comments there.
Had a very rough day today. Could not sleep at all, which isn’t anything new. I was wired after meeting a good friend in person for the first time. It was an incredible experience and I think that just added to my ‘wired and hyper” state. So I did everything you could think of to try and fall asleep, and nothing worked. Finally broke down and called the doctor and she gave me a subscription for sleeping meds to get me through. I took some and they worked. Fell asleep and woke up around 8 pm. Slept through phone calls, texts, my brother coming in my trailer and free comic book day with my kids. Makes me feel like a horrible father. Not to mention when I did wake up I had that drugged feeling and totally freaked out. Went to visit my kids, I knew that would calm me down and it worked.
I also had to update my RSS feed on both blogs which really sucked, thanks Google for taking over the world. So if you had subscribed please do so again and I apologize completely.
Included the lyrics to this little known Warren Zevon song. He was a super talent and is missed by many, including me.
Prison Grove from the album “The Wind” by Warren Zevon
An icy wind burns and scars
Rushes in like a fallen star
Through the narrow space
Between these bars
Looking down on Prison Grove
Dug in, hunkered down
Hours race without a sound
Gonna carry me to where I’m bound
Looking down on Prison Grove
Iron will hard as rock
Hold me up for the fateful knock
When they walk me down in a mortal lock
Out on Prison Grove
Shine on all these broken lives
Shine on
Shine the light on me
Knick Knack Paddy Wack
They say you’ll hear your own bones crack
When they bend you back to bible black
Then you’ll find your love
Some folks have to die too hard
Some folks have to cry too hard
Take one last look at the prison yard
Goodbye Prison Grove
Shine on all these broken lives
Shine on
Shine the light on me
