Spring, come!!!

I CANNOT wait for springtime. I long for it like water. It's been so cold here the last few weeks...at least today was sunny and freezing (but no lovely snow...), plus we've been home-bound cause Maggie has been sick. She's on the mend though.
Tomorrow we are planning to go to the butterfly house (a beautiful indoor butterfly sanctuary...) We were gonna go today, but it was CLOSED. I was mad! But we did need the extra rest I suppose....

You lay me down ( by Don Chaffer)

The winter of emotions
Sometimes steals into my head
It's the tundra of the shutdown
It's the burying the dead
And I'd like to make my springtime
But I have no read recourse
But to wait on some long loving
From some deep and pure source

You lay me down
You whisper somehow
I can hear it when I'm very still
You don't ever touch me or chase away the chill
But one day soon, you will

The art of all my problems
Is in how they're resolved
I try until I'm hopeless
And then a hand so soft
Is brushing back my hair
From it's clinging to my face
From crying God I live in
Such a weak and desperate place

You lay me down
You whisper somehow
I can hear it when I'm very still
You don't ever touch me or chase away the chill
But one day soon, you will

Mad World

This song has been in my head for weeks on end (and no, I'm not suicidal)
The original is by Tears for Fears of course, remember them? I love late eighties early nineties radio music (back when they played good stuff on the radio, you know). Maggie and i went out for Mexican two nights ago and they were playing just that, a non-stop stream of it fairly loud... It was refreshing

It is a mad world. I'm sure you don't need me to remind you, but the song is good
