the old blocks…

Is what made me, saved me, drove me crazy
Drove me away then embraced me
Forgave me for all of my shortcomings
Welcome to my homecoming
Yeah it’s been a long time coming…

I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain from yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming home…

Inky:  For a year, off and on I’ve been away from home working a job.  A year.  Saturday, I’m coming home….

My little kingdom awaits.

 

You must try to forget….

Conversation with the oldest:

Her: “I can’t drink the rest of my milk, it won’t come out of the cup.”
Me: (tips the cup up higher, bringing the milk to her lips)
Her: “hehe…. oh, yeah I guess it does work.”
Me: “You’re at a disadvantage little girl. 1) your daddy understands physics. 2) every trick you’ll ever try I’ve done and perfected.”
Her: “sorry daddy I wasn’t listening, I’m being iron man right now.”

In that distant beginning season,

…Sun Man’s warm magic flowed over all the land. Whenever he raised his arms, it was day. whenever he lowered them, it was night. The Bee People and the Elephant People and the Tic People loved the rhythm of Sun Man’s light. Their faces crinkled with pleasure in his heat.

But inside the dreamtime, Sun Man grew old. His back grew stiff and his knee joints ached. He rose later and later each morning. He napped soon after breakfast and went to bed in the afternoon.

“What’s going on here?” complained Grandfather Mantis. “I’m not getting heat anymore.” Grandfather Mantis sent the Bird People to find out. The Bird People returned, rumpled and solemn. Darkness was everywhere, even though it was supposed to be daytime. “Sun Man is getting old,” they explained. “This shining all the time is getting too much for him.”

“Well, I’m old,” snapped Grandfather Mantis. “Doesn’t stop me.”

His wife raised her eyebrows but said nothing.

Even the words, “I love You”, can’t comfort…

There are days like that..
and there are nights like that…
Saying maybe,
Even if you didn’t mean it
I could somewhat understand
Although you were silent.

There is a saying like that…
And there is a heart like that..
I didn’t say,
“Hope this helps”
Because I thought you
Would just forget something, like that

Even if we’re going through tough times
We talk about anything but that
Although I can’t even say what,
I’ve always wanted to…

Even the words, “I love you” can’t comfort
With this deep darkness we’re in
Even the words, “I love you” can’t comfort us

Even if we’re going through tough times
We talk about anything but that
Although I can’t even say what,
I’ve always wanted to…

Even the words, “I love You”, can’t comfort
With this deep darkness we’re in
Even the words, “I love you” can’t comfort us

Even the words, “I love you”, can’t comfort us.

INKY:  I’ve been writing.  Earphones on listening to an eclectic group of songs.   The music of the above song I really liked, so of course I went looking for the lyrics in English.   Yeah.  I said eclectic, didn’t mention the bit about some it not being in English, huh?  I will listen to anything as long as it moves me.  And if it really does, I go looking for lyrics.

I love music that can make me feel.  Adore it.

The guitar isn’t bad either…

The above song is titled in English:  Cannot be Comforted, and it’s by, I believe the band name is Broccoli, You Too.

Back to unraveling and plotting I’ve given you the link if you want to listen.
