Sleep Tonight

I felt a little off tonight. I left work late, no one showed up for my yoga class, and I sort of half-heartedly did some birthday shopping that I would have once been really excited about. But I didn't feel like doing much of anything, and nothing that I did do felt quite right, including the conversation with my man, though I couldn't quite put my finger on the reason why.

Eventually I climbed into bed, turned on the old ipod, and after a much-appreciated Let It Be finished up, this dreamy number followed.

Listening to it, and reading the words, I realized that what I need most right now is a night when all the love's alive:

We don't want to sleep tonight

Still young like that I count the lines

Beside your mouth that smiles now

My arms reach up as you go down

With buried heads we both forget

All of the past and its regret

Wind picks up, the window shakes

We wont hear the morning break

You will cry

And I will cry

'Cause all the love's

Alive tonight

Neighbourhoods will try to dream

While you and me we hold and lean

Onto bodies slick and charged

Together just one beating heart

All around us quiet now

We hear the leaves fall to the ground

Morning light upon our bed

An ally while I catch your breath

You will cry

And I will cry

'Cause all the love's

Alive tonight

Beautiful. Lucky for me, it's right around the corner now...
