gone too soon
can you tell i'm nostalgic lately? ah, the life of a poet...
on the train ride to the city today i was looking out the window and for awhile the flat land reminded me somehow of the european countryside. the train to venice, the bus to prague... it's one of my most vivid memories. i spent 7 weeks in europe, and one of my most vivid memories is traveling from place to place listening to norah jones. funny how we associate certain music with certain events. i will forever link the two. and so today i relived those little moments; not so much the moments, but the feeling, as i sang norah in my head...
"waited til i saw the sun, don't know why i didn't come..."
"spinning, laughing, dancing to her favorite song, a little girl with nothing wrong is all alone"
"i look around awhile for something lost, maybe i'll find it in the end, and i'm feeling the same way all over again"
"i wanna wake up with the rain falling on a tin roof"
"how far you are i just don't know, the distance i'm willing to go"
"if i were a painter and could paint a memory, i'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you"
"one flight down, there's a song on low, and it's been there playing all along, now you know, now you know"
"with no reprise the sun will rise, the long day is over"
"summer days are gone too soon, you shoot the moon and miss completely"
