A song of sadness becomes one of hope. You'll be happy while they call you a dope.
I know these are lyrics, and everyone just skips them anyways. John sent me this song when Chris died. And it was sad. But listening to it now, it's very encouraging. I think people should honestly live by these kinds of things. Enjoy what you have when you have it. And don't taint it with bitterness and hate. And I suppose, don't spoil it by thinking to much.
Horrible things will happen to you in your life. That's normal. Life isn't against just you. So, treasure your salad days and your three-day weekends. And remember those little candles when you find yourself in the dark. They won't light up your world completely, but they will make it less lonely and stark.
So read these, my loves, in your time of confusion, loss, and void.
So, before I get into Mirah lyrics, three quick lines from a neat song by the Young Marble Giants called "Salad Days."
Think of salad days
they were folly and fun
They were good, they were young
Mirah's song "While We Have the Sun":
Let's take the time to walk together while we have the sun
You never know when temperamental weather's gonna come
And if you want to face the death you're never that far from
Just take a breath and sing to it when all the day is done
So sorry about all the sorrow in your life you'll know
It's true that all the ones you love will someday have to go
And every time you say goodbye you'll hear the trumpets blow
A serenade to the soul, all surrounded by the glow
If you feel all broken 'cause i left you there too soon
Just know that it's not up to you to make the flowers wilt or bloom
And if you think you're lonely then just listen for the tune
Of all the stars i left for you in the chest of the moon
If you want to shake whatever separates you from
The holiness you want to make your life on earth become
Live your life with a compassion you can be proud of
Then let your last breath fade away with dignity and love
Let's take the time to walk together while we have the sun
You never know when temperamental weather's gonna come
And if you want to face the death you're never that far from
Just take a breath and sing to it when all the day is done
