southern train

I keep listening to Gracious Melodies (Stone Temple Pilots album) over and over...it's the only CD I own that isn't too scratched to play in the sunfire. so...yeah. today I listened to 'interstate love song' a million times. There's this one line -

'promises of what I seemed to be

only watched the time go by'....

I love that line. 'promises of what I seemed to be'....could that apply to my life any more? Seriously?

Although, my favorite has got to be pretty penny. If anything captures the way I felt this summer, this song has got to be it. When I first heard it, it was like hearing my own heart, singing to me...kinda bizarre, but:

have you seen your mother, girl?
has she gone away?
gone away and found the pearl
but the price she paid...

gone
when you wake in the morning
gone
when you find that there's no one sleeping
gone
pretty penny was her name
she was loved and we all will miss her.

how far will you go, I say
just to bait a mouse?
shorter lived and longer gone,
can you figure out?

gone
when you wake in the morning
gone
when you find that there's no one sleeping
gone
pretty penny was her name
she was loved and we all will miss her

have you lost your sister, girl?
she's all but blown away
blown away and lost the pearl
and the price she paid.

gone
when you wake in the morning
gone
when you find that there's no one sleeping
gone
pretty penny was her name
she was loved and we all will miss her.
