Mourning Air

Thanks, ipod, for finding a song to match my mood this evening. It's been a bit of a roller coaster of a day, with some brilliant moments, and some real low points. It's ending in a pretty good place - I'm hanging with my daughter -- but I can still feel a sort of pall over everything, and it's making me want to retreat into myself. So I think I'm going to indulge that feeling a bit, but try to stay in touch with the other parts of me, the parts that are happier connected, at the same time.

And I reckon that's exactly what this song is about:

Did I see a moment with you

In a half lit world

I'm frightened to believe

But I must try

If I stumble if I fall

I'm reaching out in this mourning air, ohh

Have I got the strength to ask

Beyond the window

I feel this fear alone

Until we have

Total honesty

If I tremble or fall

I'm reaching out in this mourning air, ohh

Should I feel a moment with you

To softly whisper

I crave nothing else so much

Longing to reveal

Total honesty

I can feel your touch

I'm reaching out in this mourning air, ohh...
