Amongst the Waves

Oh Eddie. You must be the male version of Janis. This morning it was your voice I heard immediately after doing a forgiveness meditation. It was the perfect voice, and these lyrics, the perfect words:

What used to be a house of cards
Has turned into a reservoir
Save the tears that were waterfalling
Let's go swim tonight, darlin'

And once outside the undertow
Just you and me and nothin' more
If not for love I would be drowning
I've seen it work both ways

But I am up
Riding high amongst the waves
I can feel like I
Have a soul that has been saved
I can feel like I've
Put away my early grave
I gotta say it now
Better now than too late

Now let Eddie's voice wash over you by checking out the video of Pearl Jam rocking this one in Seattle last year.

And to you, darlin', who will be swimming alongside me, outside the undertow, very, very soon:

Don't forget your goggles.
