You Can't Always Go Home

Scribbled and scratching
Half finished pages at dawn
People that live here are wondering
Where all their strengths gone.
Moments of splendor
Wind up like ashes in rain,
One look you're smiling,
Another your face is in pain.
I wake up at night
With the sweat on my head.
A look in your eyes
That will haunt me 'til dead.
I just can't seem to shake it
Something about what you said;
How love's like an orphan,
A motherless child gone unfed.

So we laugh with the joker,
Hold back the tears 'til they're gone.
Drink and be merry
They'll find us all dead men at dawn.
We're so far away
From wherever we came.
That sometimes
I wonder we'll see it again
It's true, what they say
You can't always go home
You can't always be warm inside.
That in love we're like orphans,
Strangers in paradise

Ticket for a trip inside my soul

Ando sempre cheia de nódoas negras espalhadas pelo corpo todo  e não sei o que as origina.

Sou desastrada, nunca poderia vir a ser uma agente secreta. 

Vou passar a dizer isto (um dia destes): go easy on me my dear because I bruise easily.

Isto de fazer introspecções aborrece-me. 

Estou a ponderar se mando vir o “Echo” ou não. Baixou de preço no “Book depository” e eu sou fã do Terry Moore (mato quem me vier dizer que “Strangers in paradise” é “BD de gaja”).

Ah e ele disse, via twitter,  isto: “Scott Pilgrim movie kicks ass! better than inception.” (Mal posso esperar para ver o filme.)

Ainda não terminei de ler "Strangers in Paradise" (eu sei, eu sei...) mas é neste verão que acabo! 

"Echo" tenho seguido fielmente, gosto imenso das personagens masculinas que ele cria.

(SIP reminds me of my friend, the Cat.)

Gods at Sea And only legends know That once there were gods in the sea Giants in size With lullabye eyes And dreams, Like you and me. But when the lands Broke out in war The oceans in between Were raging storms and fiery hot And filled with children's screams A few survived to see the day When sunlight was dark amber And heard the sounds of gods at sea Leaving us Forever... ©1997 Terry Moore  (Lindo não? Tirado daqui.)
