On This Day...

[kitarin]

It's a cold, cold time. It's a cold, cold time,
And it makes me wonder
If I'll ever forget
How cold I
How cold I and the world can be.

And the line gets drawn, and we draw the line,
And we say it's only
The business of things.
How can it be?
How can it be when it's you and me?

I can't live in the past,
Hard-shelled and moving fast,
Change is the racecar of time.
Everyone nods along,
I have done nothing wrong,
And it feels like a crime.

And it's a bright new day,
It's a bright new day,
And the crazy thing is
That I wish my old friend
Would say that it's fine,
Say I'll be fine in a cold, cold time.

On this day, my day, I wish:

For Obama to be elected president.

For our global society to get over itself and start working together.

For the real estate market to pick up and my parents to sell some houses.

For those who are hurting to find comfort in the changing of the seasons and in the people who love them.

For everyone to have a little more forgiveness for each other's imperfections - to let go, let live, and move forward.

*******

Don't cry
Open up your eyes and know
there's someone else out there that feels this way
I'm singing to you 'cause I know what you've been through and now
It's not so long ago I felt the same
Like soldiers, March on
If we could make it through tonight we'll see the sun
March on March on

I drove home on my lunch break to leave you this interlude.

I am always thinking of you.

with love always.
