The Husband's hiatus from posting to ya'll is, I hope, temporary. While I would love to have his great storytelling ability and insight, it's not a priority for him currently. So! In lieu of 'the rest of the story' from him, here's a recent email that The Husband sent me (shared with his permission).
The lyrics to the Adam Again song "River on Fire." While not completely relevant to you and I, it is the saddest song I have ever heard.
NOTE: the Cuyahoga River runs through Cleveland and, at one time, was so polluted that it caught on fire. In this song, its just an image of the impossible coming true. I think Gene Eugene (the songwriter) was drawing a parallel to the pollution in a marriage which leads to irreconcilable differences; the point at which it's just too volitile to do anything but catch fire and burn.
what would you say if you knew what i was thinking?
maybe you do but you know not to dig too deep
what if i knew what you needed for sure?
i've seen in your eyes you need more, much more
and i could be happy, and you could be miserable
i'll grab a metaphor out of the air
the cuyahoga river on fire
what can you say, the impossible happens
what can you settle for?
what can you live without?
i remember the night i first darkened your door
and i swore that i loved you
my heart was pure
you could be happy and i could be miserable
i'll grab a metphor out of the air
the cuyahoga river on fire
my open window, a dream in the dark
my fingers, your face
a spark, a trace
i could be happy and you could be miserable
i'll grab a metaphor out of the airthe cuyahoga river on fire
i know a lot about the history of cleveland, ohio
disasters that have happened there
like the cuyahoga river on fireLabels: lyrical gangsta, The Husband's Story |
