Ghost Train-Counting Crows

I can feel her Temperature Rising

If you start out depressed, everything's kind of a pleasant surprise. It still doesn't mean that those surprises lift you up...out of the blue. It just means you can be surprised. That's all.

Just about now I would allow someone else to hold on to my head
For I am not able to cradle it any longer

When I got home last night, I step outside alone
Gaze up at the moon
Wondering
If anyone else is looking up at the same time
Feeling such confusion
Wrapping their own arms
Around themsleves...

Cuz I can not be the
ONLY one

Who feels this deep emptiness...
Even while they do not need to.

Cleaned out my son's room today...not even missing him yet, but someone's gotta venture in there and dust and such...He will be pissed when he returns...but hey, what else is new. Went out to lunch with my high school buddy. He is doing well and looking fantastic...but somehow, it didn't even phase me...and I consumed my Asian Chicken Salad...and drank my iced tea...somehow...without consuming a single piece of his conversation.

Now...I curl up on the couch and despondantly consume my very last sour blue rasberry Starburst...Damn

I have no idea what to do with my evening...summer's like that for me...I yearn for it...it begins...and I begin to question what the hell I was yearning for.

"I took the cannon ball down to the ocean
Across the desert from the sea to shining sea
I rode a ladder that climbed across the nation
50 million feet of earth between the buried and me.

"How do you do?"
She said "Hey, how do you do?"

She buys a ticket cause it's cold were she comes from
She climbs aboard because she's scared of getting older in the snow
Love is a ghost train through the darkness
Hold on to me darling I got no place to go.

"How do you do?"
She said "Hey, how do you do?"

I took the cannonball down to the ocean
watch the diesel disappear beneath the tumbling waves
Love is a ghost train HOWLING on the RADIO


"Remember everything" She said "When only memory Remains"
"How do you do?"
She said "Hey, how do you do?"
