signal fire

The perfect words never crossed my mind,
Cause there was nothin' in there but you.
I felt every ounce of me screaming out,
But the sound was trapped deep in me.
All I wanted just sped right past me,
While I was rooted fast to the earth,
I could be stuck here for a thousand years,
Without your arms to drag me out.

There you are standing right in front of me
There you are standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety.

No, I don't want to wait forever

In the confusion and the aftermath,
You are my signal fire.
The only resolution and the only joy,
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes.

There you are standing right in front of me
There you are standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety.

No, I don't want to wait forever...

No, I don't want to wait forever...

(Snow Patrol)

This song came on the radio Thursday night as we were taking a taxi back from Vassiliki Bay on Lefkada.  We had spent a most glorious day on Kefalonia, the darkness was rushing past us, and a sense of calm had overtaken me; I couldn't quite identify why I knew the song, but it struck a chord.  I was crying by the second verse; not an upset cry, just an acknowledgement of the day's beauty, and the beauty of the moment. I downloaded it tonight, it will forever remind me of that peace, something I am in desperate need of right now.
