They call it creeping, I say loving, it’s the only way for me Filling out papers, signing waivers, but I stay outside his reach I name your mother and your father and the first pet that you keep I know your favourite place to dine at when your cheque comes in each week I know you do your wash on Sundays and you separate your whites And that your car needs a new tire ’cause last week I laid those spikes I’ve got a million polaroids with all the dates penned in red ink I sneak a walkie-talkie in your room to listen to you sleep You just don’t know it yet, but you love me and I love you the same One day we’ll have a pretty wedding, and I’ll be your everything We’ll be together, yes forever, we will never ever part Oh, you don’t know it yet but baby I’ve already got your heart Some call it stalking, I say walking just extremely close behind I’m sure if I sat down and asked you, well, you really wouldn’t mind You’ve got those eyes that drive me crazy And I’ve got eyes to watch you sleep I brought a pack lunch and some coffee For my stakeout in your tree, outside your house (shh) Gotta be as quiet as a mouse, or else you’ll call the police And I’ll get done for somethin’ stupid like disturbance of the peace And piece by piece, I am collecting all the things you leave behind And when you don’t, I rummage through your bins to see what I can find You just don’t know it yet, but you love me and I love you the same One day we’ll have a pretty wedding, and I’ll be your everything We’ll be together, yes forever, we will never ever part Oh, you don’t know it yet but baby I’ve already got your heart You just don’t know it yet, but you love me and I love you the same One day we’ll have a pretty wedding, and I’ll be your everything We’ll be together, yes forever, we will never ever part Oh, you don’t know it yet but baby I’ve already got your heart

Okay this one is fun…and disturbing…but fun nonetheless.
There is a house way down in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy And God I know I’m one
Mother was a tailor, yeah, yeah Sewed my Levi jeans My father was a gamblin’ man, yeah, yeah Down, way down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gamblin’ man ever needs Is a suitcase, Lord, and a trunk And the only time a fool like him is satisfied Is when he’s all stone cold drunk
Oh, mothers, tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun
[Verse 4] Well, I got one foot on the platform The other foot on the train I’m goin’ back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain
[Refrain] Well, there is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy And God, I know I’m one

So I am all of the time having a conversation with my daughter about cover songs. A lot of the ones that she likes are covers of stuff that I listened to in my youth. The covers are not always a bad thing. This song in particular is one that has been covered by everyone. Seriously 😒. But I have to admit… I kinda like this one.
Save me a place In the heart of your hearts When you think of love Never forsake me
Wanting and dreaming you Each time I think of you Lying naked beside me
Only a Lady of Dreams She will bring magic To sing to your heartstrings
Only a Lady of Dreams Come alive, you are all That I desire
Save me a place In the heart of your hearts When you think of dreams Never forsake me
Wanting and holding you Each time I come to you Lying naked beside you
Only a Lady of Dreams Could there be magic To sing to your heartstrings
Only a Lady of Dreams Come alive, you are all That I desire
Something tells me This is love that surrounds Only a fool Without wisdom can see Blind as I am In your eyes My Lady of Dreams
Blind as I am In your eyes My Lady of Dreams
Save me, save me A place in your heart Tears escape from me When we’re apart Please dream of me now My Lady of Dreams
My thoughts and wishes Are all the surrounds Mysteries hold you Then fly you away You know you are my life My Lady of Dreams
You know you are my life My Lady of Dreams
Save me a place In the heart of your heart When you think of love Never forsake me
Wanting and dreaming you Each time I think of you Lying so naked beside me
Only a Lady of Dreams Could there be magic To sing to your heartstrings
Only a Lady of Dreams Come alive, you are all That I desire
Something tells me This is love that surrounds Only a fool Without wisdom can see Blind as I am In your eyes My Lady of Dreams
Blind as I am In your eyes My Lady of Dreams

My cousin asked for suggestions on how to get a child to sleep through the night. One of her friends is struggling with it, and I recommended the music of Kitaro. Most of their music is instrumental. My daughter loved it when she was little. The recommendation caused me to want to hear old favorites again. This particular song is sung by Jon Anderson from Yes. It is the only non Instrumental in their discography. They are a Japanese band. The music is quite soothing.

There have been a couple of occasions that I have felt like this. One of my writing groups imploded, a friend group fell apart. I think it is a common feeling. Where you just wanna go yeah I am out. it’s been fun, but I can’t no more. And Pink says it with a catchy beat.
And yeah I know I should do one more Halloween tune for this is HALLOWEEN! Meh….
