What Survives Of Us Is Love
When all is said and done
And all is done and dead
It’s not the declarations shouted
Or hard thoughts in the head
It’s not the way we walked
And not the turn we took
It’s not how much we spent on shoes
Or how fashionable we looked
It’s not how long we waited
How strong the stance we stood
How many days we held the fort
Wondering if we could
It’s not the might or money
Our fall or rise above
But when we’re gone, one thing lives on
What survives of us is love.

ReplyDeleteFleetwood Mac sang Gypsy
ReplyDeleteDid you know I used to write only to the individuals that I was writing about? It was always my way of connecting to the people who moved me..
And Fleetwood Mac sang Gypsy
I never knew the words but listening to it tonight something about the way she sang it. Something about the way a gypsy would dance. Something about Arkansas came to mind.
While Fleetwood Mac sang Gypsy
There's something so cold and disconnected today. Something so much a reminder of what never was. But yet so real so fleeting like a gypsy.
So nice Fleetwood Mac sing Gypsy
So nice the melody of her voice telling a story that I want never to learn the words to call it a lie. She's lost something, or maybe she longs for something, or maybe she just sings because she's a gypsy.
But Fleetwood Mac just sings Gypsy
She's not real. But then why am I moved so much by her story in melody? What's so shiny about her ranging the scale of the notes?
As Fleetwood Mac sings Gypsy
Yeah, I used to write and only to the people who moved me. In a way to connect. They were never real. They traveled in-and-out. They danced. And I listened to the story of their melodies and never learned the words to tell me they were a lie...
