I loved you a long time ago, you know

Where the winds own forget-me-nots blow

But I just couldn’t let myself go

Not knowing what on earth there was to know …

The night is young

Why are we so hung

in each others’ chains?

This Mortal Coil – Another Day

As human beings we know time as a passing of unrepeatable events in the course of which everything passes away—including ourselves. As human beings, we also know occasions when we stand outside the passing of events and glimpse their meaning. Sometimes an event occurs in our lives through which we catch a glimpse of what our lives are all about and maybe even what life itself is all about, and this glimpse of what “it’s all about” involves not just the present, but the past and future too. Inhabitants of time that we are, we stand on such occasions with one foot in eternity …

When you love someone

You’re like a child at play

And when you need someone

It’s such a lonely play …

When you want someone

It’s neither here nor there

And when you need someone

The pain’s too much to bear …

When you want someone

You look and think how nice

And when you need someone

You feel like you’re gonna die

But you can be so happy …

Oh, stars come out tonight

And shine so very bright …

When you love someone

I love someone …

– Elizabeth Fraiser – At last I am free

Maybe it’s all utterly meaningless. Maybe it’s all unutterably meaningful. If you want to know which, pay attention to what it means to be truly human in a world that half the time we’re in love with and half the time scares the hell out of us… The unexpected sound of your name on somebody’s lips. The good dream. The strange coincidence. The moment that brings tears to your eyes. The person who brings life to your life. Even the smallest events hold the greatest clues.

– Frederick Buechner –

Lay your head where my heart used to be

Hold the earth above me

Lay down in the green grass

Remember when you loved me

Come closer don’t be shy

Stand beneath a rainy sky

The moon is over the rise

Think of me as a train goes by

Clear the thistles and brambles

Whistle ‘Didn’t He Ramble’

Now there’s a bubble of me

And it’s floating in thee

Stand in the shade of me

Things are now made of me

The weather vane will say…

It smells like rain today

God took the stars and he tossed ’em

Can’t tell the birds from the blossoms

You’ll never be free of me

He’ll make a tree from me

Don’t say good bye to me

Describe the sky to me

And if the sky falls, mark my words

We’ll catch mocking birds

Lay your head where my heart used to be

Hold the earth above me

Lay down in the green grass

Remember when you loved me
