I don't really know what this is, so I'm titling it this

[motel rooms]

Dear darkness, dear darkness
Now it's your time to look after us
'Cause we kept you clothed, we kept you in business
When everyone else was having good luck

So now it's your time, time to pay
To pay me and the one I love
With the worldly goods you stashed away
With all the things you took from us

 

[motel rooms]

All that no one sees
You see
What's inside of me
Every nerve that hurts
You heal
Deep inside of me
You don't have to speak
I feel it

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me, confuse
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be

 

[motel rooms]

No need for words now
We sit in silence
You look me in the eye directly
You met me
The evening, the mess we're in

The city sun set over me
The city sun set over me

Night and day
I dream of making love
To you now, baby
Lovemaking
On-screen impossible dream
And I have seen
The sunrise over the river
The freeway, reminding of
This mess we're in

The city sun set over me
The city sun set over me

Sweat on my skin and oh the sin and
This mess we're in
The city sun set over me
The city sun set over me

The clock is set for nine, but you know you're gonna make it eight
So that you two can take some time, teach each other to reciprocate

It's like learning a new language
Helps me catch up on my mime
If you don't bring up those lonely parts
This could be a good time

It's like learning a new language
You come here to me
We'll collect those lonely parts
And set them down
You come here to me...

 

[motel rooms]

And I've leaned on you, now you can lean on me
And that's more than love, that's the way it should be
Now, I can't change the way you feel
But I could put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal, that's the way I feel
I'll put my arms around you

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection...
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection...

 

[motel rooms]

I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

 

[motel rooms]

A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point, this single flame
The single haunted memory of your face
I still love you
I still want you

 

[motel rooms]

Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave
Here beneath my skin
And constant craving
Has always been

Constant craving
Has always been
Has always been

 

[motel rooms]

And all my instincts, they return
And the façade so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light, the heat
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
Oh, I feel the light and the heat (in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete (in your eyes)
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see
In your eyes
In your eyes

 

[motel rooms]

We will shrink and we'll be quiet as mice
And while the cat is away
Do what we want
Do what we want

Oh, the bird that's flown into my room
Slowly we unfurl as lotus flowers
'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
I dance around the pit
The darkness is beneath
I can't kick your habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

 

[motel rooms]

Love will keep us safe from death
(Safe! From! Death!)
Love will keep us safe from death

 

[motel rooms]

My cell is ringing, no ID
I need to know who's calling
My garden's overgrown
I go out on my belly crawling
I got CCTV, pornography, CNBC
I got the nightly news
To get to know the enemy

All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to get right next to you
All I want is your face in a locket
Picture in my pocket
To take a pill to stop it

I know these fast cars will do me no good

I want the lot of what you've got
If what you've got can make this stop

 

[Dot]

And all my instincts, they return
And the façade so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light, the heat
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
Oh, I feel the light and the heat (in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete (in your eyes)
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see
In your eyes
In your eyes

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing?

As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
You know there's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
No, there's nothing

 

[motel rooms]

I'll take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea
And we won't need a map, believe me
Now let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes

That's all there is
Nothing more than you can feel now, that's all there is

Let me put you on a ship
On a long, long trip
Your lips close to my lips
All the islands in the ocean
All the heaven's in the motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes

And that's all there is
Nothing more than you can touch now, that's all there is
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes

 

[motel rooms]

Oh, the red leaf looks to the hard gray stone
To each other, they know what they mean
Somewhere, their future is still yet to come
In ways that are yet as of now unforeseen

 

[motel rooms]

Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile
Don't get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile

Once in a while, two people meet
Seemingly for no reason
They just pass on the street
Suddenly, thunder showers everywhere
And who can explain the thunder and rain?
There's something in the air...

I heard this song recently and thought of you and your husband.
I was going to post it a few days ago and saw you had left. Sorry to see you go.
I will miss you. Take care of yourself.

I know you aren't here anymore but I wanted to post it for you and your husband... In case you still check out your posts.

"Rainbow"

When it rains it pours
But you didn't even notice
It ain't rainin' anymore
It's hard to breathe when all you know is
The struggle of
Staying above
The rising water line

Well, the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same old storm again
You hold tight to your umbrella
But, darling, I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head

If you could see what I see
You'd be blinded by the colours
Yellow, red and orange and green
And at least a million others
So tie up the boat
Take off your coat
And take a look around

'Cause the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same old storm again
You hold tight to your umbrella
Well, darling, I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head

Oh, tie up the boat
Take off your coat
And take a look around
Everything is alright now

'Cause the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same old storm again
Let go of your umbrella
'Cause, darling, I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head
Yeah, there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head

It'll all be alright​
