Miserere

Miserable, wretched
Miserable, miserable me
But I toast to life

But what a mystery, it is the life
What a mystery
I'm a sinner of the eighty thousand years
A liar

But where I am and what I do
How do I live?
I live in the soul of the world
Lost in deep living (hey)

Miserable, miserable me
But I toast to life

I am the saint who betrayed you
When you were alone
And I live elsewhere and look at the world
From the sky

And I see the sea and the forests
And I see that
I live in the soul of the world
Lost in deep living

Miserable, miserable me
But I toast to life

If there's a dark enough night
To hide, to hide
If there is a light, a hope
Magnificent sun that shines inside me

Give me the joy of living
That there's still no

Miserable, wretched
That joy of living
That maybe there isn't yet

Blue [Blu]

No petrol in the car
No pennies in the jar
How did we get this far?
Baby
 
No moon in the sky
No roof to keep us dry
Looks like rain tonight
I got a sinking feeling
 
Coming over me
I got a sinking feeling
I tried to paint a picture
A picture through the clouds for you
 
Green, your smiling eyes
Red, cause I made you cry
Grey, these rainy skies
Tomorrow will be blue
Stay love
Stay tonight
These rainy skies
Tomorrow will be blue
 
No caffeine in the coffee
No sugar in my tea
Just watching the TV
With the sound down
No radio on
No tune to the song
 
And the words are wrong
Your fingers tapping
To the rhythm of the rain
Your fingers...
 
I tried to paint a picture
A picture through the clouds for you
 
I got a sinking feeling
Coming over me
I got a sinking feeling
I tried to paint a picture
A picture through the clouds for you
 
Oh child
Don't say goodbye
These rainy skies
Tomorrow will be blue
 
Stay love
Stay tonight
These rainy skies
Tomorrow will be blue

Ah I love these. Imagine, being there in those empty spaces and hearing him perform. Heaven on earth.

Oh, to have a child's imagination again! How wonderful the world would be. All you need is "to believe".

And it has a wonderful message. It's not the trite, "you can be all you can be". It's more a "you were made to achieve special things, you just need to find out what that special thing is...."

Bravo for exercising a "child's imagination" and bringing it to life for me.

I. Sumo. I am the sum of my parts.

Thanks, fj! I am glad you liked the story.

About the message. Yes, it's closer to 'gnothi Seuton' ... you can be yourself, you have to just find out what it is or who you are. It's an obligation both to yourself and to the gods.

Thanks again.

p.s. I have yet to type that other story. I will definitely show it to you once i am done.

Joe Conservative said...

Great! I look forward to it. :)
