7 AM

I got back in the car at 7AM. She was safe. Tired, and she'll probably have a hang over, but she was safe. I didn't sleep because I didn't know if she was. I'm paying for it now, but it was worth the worry. She'll always be worth the worry. I got in the car and the cd I had made for her was in the stereo. It was in between tracks. When the next track started I smiled, tears in my already puffy eyes. I smiled because of all the realizations of a sleepless night. I smiled because she was there, in her bed, asleep and beautiful. I smiled because, as usual, Destiny was letting me know it was all ok now.

"The Blowers Daughter"
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
