Currently Playing: Iron & Wine, Calexico

In the Reins

Good things:
1. Friends driving down to visit. Hugs to my Jerilyno.
2. Beautiful sunny days. Mad props to God.
3. Awesome musical collaborations by Calexico and Iron & Wine. A 1950's gentle chuck on the chin to Pat.

Not-so-good things:
1. Temporary semi-deafness. Stupid ears.
2. Knowing that I will be leaving behind a whole bunch of amazing people when I move. It's been bumming me out lately. A lot.

~sigh~

He Lays in the Reins
by Calexico / Iron & Wine

One more drink tonight, let your gray stallion rest
Where he lays in the reins
From all of the speed and the strength he gave

One more kiss tonight from some tall stable girl
She's like grace from the earth
When you're all tuckered out and tame

One more tired thing, a gray moon on the rise
When your want from the day
Makes you to curse in your sleep at night

With one more gift to bring, we may well find you
Laid like your steed in his reins
Tangled too tight and too long to fight
