pain and suffering in various tempos

So before the month expires, here's one of my current favourites.

Left Behind
Florence Percy

It was the autumn of the year;
The strawberry-leaves were red and sear;
October's airs were fresh and chill,
When, pausing on the windy hill,
The hill that overlooks the sea,
You talked confidingly to me,--
Me whom your keen, artistic sight
Has not yet learned to read aright,
Since I have veiled my heart from you,
And loved you better than you knew.

( You told me of your toilsome past; )

( A little bit of Boromir for an overcast Monday )

Have sketching to do for homework for tonight... blah... still not back into the swing of things with the drawingness. Ah well. But one last thing, before I rush off to do that...

Somebody has to make a Farscape vid to this song:

Johnny
by October Project (from "Falling Further In")

There was Johnny like a stranger
Living in a small town
Measuring the small time
He was thinner than a razor
Johnny in a small town
Living with his thumb on the trigger
Wishing he could be
Just a little bit bigger
Bored
To the heart of himself

He was trouble in the making
Trouble in the keeping
History repeating
He was walking into danger
Johnny in a small town
Looking for a light in a tunnel
Creeping in the dark
And doubting if the sun'll
Shine
To the heart of himelf

chorus:
And he tells himself
It'll be all right
Happiness is just around the corner
And he tells himself
It'll be okay
Happiness is just a life away

She was pretty as a picture
Shining in a window
Everybody said so
What did Johnny have to give her
Johnny in a small town
Putting on a suit he had borrowed
Knowing she would probably
Leave him tomorrow
Leave
Him alone with himself

chorus

Everything is different
But it's all the same to him
Everything is nothing like it was
Before she came
Before she stayed
And went away

She left Johnny like a stranger
Waiting in a small town
Measuring the small time
Nights were longer than the days were
Living in a small town

Looking for a door he could open
Hoping that he wouldn't break
Until he'd broken
Free
To the heart of himeslf

chorus
