These lyics from Annie Lennox' "Why" always struck me:

I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking

"Back when you, when you were my darlin
I didn’t mind to lose a little sleep
I didn’t mind to do a little walkin
Reputation never meant that much to me

How do I find that old familiar feeling?
The one that carried me so many years ago
Fun was dominos and 7Up and Seagram’s
Thing were simple then just movin nice and slow

Ain’t it strange?

Well, ain’t it strange?

Well I had no clue, I’d be the boy who
Your momma warned you about
Well I had no clue, I’d…be the boy who
Your momma warned you about

Well, that old scene is always comin to me
I see you standin with your husband and your child
And you’re a picture of strength, and grace and beauty
And me I’m just a fool in a super market aisle

Well I, well know hello would surly end up awkward
I never had the knack for talkin any way
You’re not the kind for bending over backwards
Smile and turn my shopping cart around and walk away"

Turnpike Troubadours- 7&7

quote:
The rain has come
He surrenders to his fate
It is hiding him
From he sounds of his mental state

...And the rain falls
...And the rain pours down

It is fair to say
That he drifted
On the salt of the open sea
And the words that bleed in his mouth
Carry him, drag him to the deep
