"Miracles out of Nowhere"
Kansas
Songwriter: Kerry Livgren


On a crystal morning I can see the dewdrops falling
Down from a gleaming heaven, I can hear the voices call
When you comin' home now, son, the World is not for you
Tell me what's you point of view
Hey there Mister Madman, wat'cha know that I don't know
Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show
Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away
Tell me what made you that way

Here I am just waiting for a sign
Asking questions, learning all the time
It's always here, it's always there
It's just love, and miracles out of nowhere

Tell me now dear Mother, what's it like to be so old
Children grown and leavin', seems the world is growin' cold
And though your body's ailin' you, your mind is just like new
Tell me where you're goin' to

It's so simple right before your eyes
If you'll look through this disguise
It's always here, it's always there
It's just love and miracles out of nowhere

I sang this song a hundred, maybe a thousand years ago
No one ever listens, I just play and then I go
Off into the sunset like the western heroes do
Tell me what you're gonna do

Here I am, I'm sure to see a sign
All my life I knew that it was mine
It's always here, it's always there
It's just love and miracles out of nowhere

These are in no particular order...other than how they came to mind...

Mini-update... I can has Popeye's chicken today! Yay! The front yard is looking fucking fabulous! All the work that shatterpath & amyrayh are putting in is definitely going to pay off... Work was work. Tho' I did find out that when I take my FMLA for my migraines, I have to call into the FMLA line AND the sickline. Didn't know that. Neither did J...until they emailed her trying to say that I did a "no call, no show" on Wednesday. Yeah, that got taken care of fucking right away...

I was gifted today with my period. Kind of ironic and amusing, no? *rolls eyes*

And now, I shall leav you with some lyrics that have been running thru my head tonight...and I'm off to watch Bill Engvall before bed....

"All Along the Watchtower"
Lyrics by Bob Dylan


"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

There are strange things afoot, my friends. And these lyrics are seeming very, very apropos tonight... I'll think on this more and consider discussing the situation later...

They know who they are....


Thank You For Being A Friend
( Andrew Gold )

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need any time of the day or night

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

And when we die
And float away
Into the night
The milky way
You'll hear me call
As we ascend
I'll say your name
Then once again

Thank you for being a friend

gathered from here

I heard this song last week one day and just had this overwhelming image of Severus and Remus. And now I'm wondering if I can get a story out of it somehow....

Anyone with some suggestions to help me along????
