"Time After Time"

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion -
Is nothing new
Flashback - warm nights -
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after -

Sometimes you picture me -
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said -
Then you say - go slow -
I fall behind -
The second hand unwinds

[Chorus:]
If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows - you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time -

[Chorus:]
If you're lost...

You said go slow -
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds -

[Chorus:]
If you're lost...
...Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

If you are indeed "profoundly happy', then you must be "bonkers" or ignorant.

"Misery is over-rated"

micksaraphee,
just now

A toon i have played since it was first released.
Never knew then how it would haunt me.
Of sons four, two fine, two psychotic.
One lives here now, not my son, my step son.
The two psychotic could be in Clockwork Orange, a book i read long before the film.

So be happy, i am mostly.
Not true, content perhaps, but always the guilt.

A toon bowie knew and used.

Continuing.
Wife wanted to know why?
Yes why i married her.
She knows my previous wives were intellectuals, on par with me.
And i admitted i copped out.
Every argument, dispute, i won with sophistry.
How annoying is that?
Simple lady, just that, but she learnt fast.
How could she fail to with the greatest teacher?
Frankenstein.


Writer Mary Shelley was born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin on August 30, 1797, in London, England. She was the daughter of philosopher and political writer William Godwin and famed feminist Mary Wollstonecraft—the author of The Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792). Sadly for Shelley, she never really knew her mother who died shortly after her birth. Her father William Godwin was left to care for Shelley and her older half-sister Fanny Imlay. Imlay was Wollstonecraft's daughter from an affair she had with a soldier.
