One Headlight

Music is such a powerful mover of emotion, for better or worse, and has always been so important to me, an integral part of my life. I'm paying the price for that now, and will probably the rest of my life because of so many built-in emotional triggers in so much music that directly ties my thoughts to Adrianna.

"One Headlight" by Jakob Dylan / The Wallflowers was playing over the store speakers as I was grocery shopping today and it nearly destroyed me while in the produce section.

Example #47 in a continuing series.

"So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well, they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees.

I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste, she always had a pretty face
I wondered why she hung around this place.

Come on, try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We'll put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight..."
