Wishing

...on Another Lucky Star

Your friends may lie
The truth can come from strangers
If I knew why,
We wouldn't be in this danger
Leaning out the window of my car
And wishing on another lucky star.

Life is long
It is not made to measure
You will go on
The same in pain and pleasure
Wondering how we ever got this far...
By wishing on another lucky star.

Life goes on
As sure as the sky
It's come and gone
In the wink of an eye
You leave your home
On the wings of a lie:
You will never die.

The world is cold
The heart gets torn and tattered
The one you hold
It can be dropped and shattered
Leaning out the window of my car
And wishing on another lucky star.


Remembering through tears, not just of sadness but also of fear…

It’s heartbreaking how a dream or a fragment of a memory can so silently open the floodgates of sadness. In the midst of this unbearably humid day, the skies are suddenly enveloped in gray, dreary haze. Heaven’s consoling hand, maybe?

Sleep. I need to sleep.

Anyway, I’ve been playing this song over and over all day. It’s from an old movie called Permanent Record. You can hear the song here.
