Maudlin, Some More

So while I did pull out of my funk a bit the other day, I am still rather bummed out and emotional, due in part, Im sure, to not medicating my sadness with my mom's Christmas cookies. That is good, I suppose. I actually lost weight this past week no easy feat at Christmastime. But anyway, in honor of my continuing weepiness and also lack of iPod, let me present to you:




Lyrics That Make Me Burst Into Tears
(If the song itself hasn't gotten me already)


Next door, theres an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

~ "The Luckiest" (Ben Folds)


It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end

~ "The Promise" (Tracy Chapman)


I've always wanted for you what you've wanted for yourself
And yet I wanted to save us high water or hell
And I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt
And in the meantime I lost myself

~ "That Particular Time" (Alanis Morrisette)


I still find pieces of your presence here

~ "I Just Dont Think Ill Ever Get Over You" (Colin Hay)


Well, maybe there's a god above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

~ "Hallelujah" (Jeff Buckley)


You, I thought I knew you
You, I cannot judge
You, I thought you knew me

~ "Nightswimming" (REM)


It's just that we stayed too long
In the same old sickly skin
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
Oh darkness, I feel like letting go

~ "Full of Grace" (Sarah Mclachlan)


You cannot understand yet
What it means to be old
~ "River, Run" (Suddenly, Tammy!)


Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
And not for just a year
But always

~ "Always" (Patsy Cline)
