"Girl Sailor"
The gutter may profess its love,Then follow it with hesitation,But there are just so many ofYou out there for rent
A stronger girl would shake this off in flight,And never give it more than a frowning hour,But you have let your heart decide,Loss has conquered you,
You've won one too many fights,Wearing many hats every time,But you wont win here tonight,
You've made it through the direst of straits alright,Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes,And I cannot lecture you,
And does anything I say seem relevant at all?You've been at the helm since you were just five,While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger,
But, you've won one too many fights,Wearing all of your clothes at the same time,Let the good times end tonight,Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her,This time,
Just a moment or two from now,Not a mind will retain even a trace,Of the thoughts that I struggled to tellAnd how our stack of cards just fell,
So settle this once and for all,The light no longer shows the cracks around my door,And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight,
You are not some saint who's above,Giving someone a stroll through the flowers,You've got so much more to dream of,Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her,This time,This time,This time.
On a different note, Hello to Becky out there in flight attendant school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We miss you here in Athens. I hope everything is going well if you are reading this. I love you.
I have so much to read before school starts. Right now, I am working on Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto. If you like Murkami you would love Yoshimoto. Very interesting stuff. Well, I am gathering up a list so long I might as well just stop communicating with the outside world altogether.
bye for now,
jessica
