you're alone at the end of the of the evening

 your bright lights have faded to blue

you're thinking 'bout someone who loved you


and you never knew
. . .

I know you've always been a dreamer - spent your life spinning 'round



 
 
and it's so hard to change - you can't seem to settle down
 




but the dreams you've seen lately



keep on turning out and burning out
and turning out the same

. . .


should I put you on a highway


 and show you a sign?
you'll just take it to the limit, one more time

. . .






you can spend all your time making money




you can spend all your love making time






when it all falls to pieces tomorrow



would you be fine?
. . .






when you're looking for your freedom

nobody seems to care





you can't find the door - you won't find it anywhere

































 
   

















                             




when there's nothing to believe in




























































 

still you're coming back

you're running back

y
ou're coming back for more
just get on that highway






look for that sign
can you take it to the limit
one more time?



take it to the limit



take it to the limit



one more time. . .

I don't think it's a 'can'--it's a 'will'.

And it's a choice we get to make.
The tough piece is letting go of the lie that you can guard your heart. Leastwise, that was my experience......

I get the spinning top photo!
How bizarre is that?

Mel said...

k.....I just realized how pompous that all probably sounded.

*sigh* Lemme go to the naughty corner....

english inukshuk said...

it's far too close to xmas to be anywhere naughty

you're nice

and NOT pompous

however, I am totally guarding my heart

I'd rather be bored, alone/lonely, friendless (you lovely people being the exception to the rule) than risk that kind of pain again

ho hum

no lie

(am very glad for you tho, presumably that's how you met The Brit!)

so, back out of that corner, Ms Mel

(you "get" the spinner?! really!? you've seen Inception?!?!?!? don't know why that surprised me!)

just one year of love
is better than a lifetime alone
one sentimental moment in your arms
is like a shooting star right through my heart
it's always a rainy day without you
I'm a prisoner of love inside you -
I'm falling apart all around you
my heart cries out to your heart
I'm lonely but you can save me
my hand reaches out for your hand
I'm cold but you light the fire in me
my lips search for your lips
I'm hungry for your touch
there's so much left unspoken
and all I can do is surrender
to the moment just surrender
and no one ever told me that love would hurt so much
and pain is so close to pleasure
and all I can do is surrender to your love
just one year of love
is better than a lifetime alone
one sentimental moment in your arms
is like a shooting star right through my heart
it's always a rainy day without you
I'm a prisoner of love inside you
I'm falling apart all around you
and all I can do is surrender

I rather like the naughty corner, dontchaknow. It's comfy and familiar--well worth the moment of popping off when I fail to 'pause'. *chuckling* WPIML would NOT be surprised by that, btw.

Love is an awesome thing. (I was gonna say 'a many splendor thing' but geeze....not THAT song, tyvm! LOL) And I'm thinkin' pain is inevitable when you love. I also found it was inevitable when you choose not to. Which really kinda bites, truth be told.....but there ya have it!

*shrugs*
Oh the stories I could tell about how I landed where my feet are on this one!

It's very VERY hard to be a human.

:-/

BTW--just so ya know.....I bring my own snacks. Which is a part of why naughty corners aren't particularly bothersome to me.! :-D

Mel said...

Ohohoh!! And that spinning top deal--you can be surprised cuz *I* was.

Layers....--I've had to watch more than once to piece some of the subtleties into the whole picture deal.
But what a cool movie.
*laughing* Says she who doesn't engage in watching!

english inukshuk said...

inevitable pain, huh

(-:

(no pain, no gain)

I know

I know

and I can remember wanting others to trust their hearts again - and, guess what! they have all moved on

thing is, I don't trust mine anymore

but, that's ok

(-:

(did you ever try explaining the movie to a confused teen. . . mind you, she didn't get Highlander either!)

XXX

Mel said...

*laughing* Who said anything about trusting my heart?!
Nonononono.... I simply said you couldn't GUARD your heart.

Heck if I know that I 'trust' my heart--I'm not sure I have one, given I'm an alien..... :-D But I DO trust my intuitive 'knowing'! Maybe that's whatcha mean. That bit inside you that goes 'UH oh......'....yaknow, the one I failed to listen to over and over and over again that I now find to be a credible source.

Oh.....and himself attempted to explain the movie to me before I actually surrendered to watch it. *laughing* I didn't zackly get his interpretation and explanation either. I'm a visual kinda gal.
Ohh.... Nor did I have any desire to watch the Highlander to completion. :-/
DID finally.......LOL There's still bits of that deal that I don't get! ROFL


Rimshot said...

There can be only one.

english inukshuk said...

ah, but which one. . .

Mel said...

I say the hamster.

*shrugs*

That's cuz he's continued to be very loyal.......and he's good at tap dancing.

Mel said...

*laughing* didn't know Horatio was immortal, did ya?

*humming*

AND he tap dances!
Just sayin'......

mig bardsley said...

Which one what?
I think you can guard your heart. Of course some-one will always find a way in anyway and not always the kind of one you're guarding against.
I think that's good?
He's a faithful hamster that Horatio. I like him.
