The Long Way Home

From the first time I heard a song on radio 107MHz back in school I have loved her music. There has rarely been a day in my life when I have not heard at least one of her albums. Her voice has kept me sane in times of utter insanity. They were the my last straw in a world then, when innocence and simplicity were running out fast.

Today life is different. I have been re-returned to the simplest state of being. It is like childhood. There is sadness. And there is happiness. Things in between have suddenly disappeared. If I were the me of a year back, I'd call myself shallow. That's the word I'd use.

It is a simplicity that is not exactly like a child's however. For a child is unaware of complexities.

And even today, her songs fill up the spaces, remind me of how things can be. Remind me to be grateful for everything that is. I have said this since the first time I heard her, I'll say it again. She writes for me :)

Both of us were used to losing

Guess we had some tales to tell

Suddenly they seemed amusing, till it came

Easy as the rain came in

When the train pulled in

I knew right then

You weren't going anywhere

And when the train pulled out

There was no doubt

Left in our minds

That was many years ago dear

Though they haven't all been kind

They take on a certain glow when I hear the sound

Rain falling on the ground

Easy as the rain came down

Lost in the conversation

It was hard to say goodnight

Standing at the station, tossing it all around

Easy as the rain came down...
