Running Out of Time

Rate: 5 Flag

 
 
 
When I was running out of time
I turned it into a dream
And you went drifting into my mind
Things ain't the way that they seem
I turn you into a dream
And make it all go away
You know your hair looks different when you wear it that way
You've got a painted face and a body made of clay
You are my super star

They will fill you with big ideas
They'll hang your heart in the sky
I know you want to save the world
How long have you been that high
How long have you been that high
And did you make it all go away
You know your eyes look different when you look the other way
You've got a cheating heart bleeding emeralds everyday
You are a shooting star

Things ain't the same as when we was young
They hung us from shooting stars
Let's tell the world we're doing fine
I know how lucky we are
I know how lucky we are
To make it all go away
You know this world is topsy-turvy in days like today
We got a million souls looking for a place to stay
Each one a shooting star

Nick, I saw the sad news about this a few hours ago due to my living a few towns away from the Kennedy family in Bedford. I happened to shoot a video of her speaking at a local event about four years ago and she was as smart and articulate as any public speaker I have encountered. I am reeling with this really tragic turn of events. My sympathies go out to her family and friends.

Some headlines ---

You aren't surprised. You don't spend much time wondering 'what if'.

I added a song that seems to fit.

Um, shouldn't the real message be: Drugs and alcohol. Just say no. You're making a pretty big assumption here.

I thought the same thing when I heard the news.

I tend to agree, woman around them seem to have bad things happen to them, ( or run toward bad things) for some reason. Joseph Arthur, good choice.

Of course Margaret. This is my personal opinion, not news. Maybe it was different this time.

If you don't know what happened, how can you have an opinion?

We will never know if the divorce came from drus/alcohol addiction or when she found out her husband of 16yrs was divorcing her, she went over the edge. All accounts of her pre the divorce proceedings are of a architect and advocate. He is now dating a Hollywood movie star. Some might say that would drive someone to the edge. Again, who knows but many woman in the family have dealt with the same thing, infidelity and addiction.

I'm inclined to let the tabloids work out the details.

If your dreams involve other people some alpha guy becoming his better self .....

I suppose I've chased a long odds myself.

This is my favorite line, "You know your eyes look different when you look the other way" Clearly a theme in this haunted family. Nobody ever knows what goes on inside another's soul.

Exactly, Sally.

This is a powerful song.
