Driftwood dreaming

Driftwood

Everything is open
Nothing is set in stone
Rivers turn to oceans
Oceans tide you home
Home is where the heart is
But your heart had to roam
Drifting over bridges
Never to return
Watching bridges burn

You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood, hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you

Nobody is an island
Everyone had to go
Pillars turn to butter
Butterflying low
Low is where your heart is
But your heart has to grow
Drifting under bridges
Never with the flow

And you really didn't think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So I'm sorry that you've turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long, long time

Everywhere there's trouble
Nowhere's safe to go
Pushes turn to shovels
Shovelling the snow
Frozen you have chosen
The path you wish to go
Drifting now forever
And forever more
Until you reach your shore

You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood, hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you

And you really didn't think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So I'm sorry that you've turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long, long time
You've been drifting, for a long, long
Drifting for a long, long time

I love this song and I love driftwood. I often daydream and imagine it to be something it isn't. To me this one looks like an animal of some sort. A sheep? A dog?

End of term today and now 2 luxurious weeks off ahead of me.

Missing Canterbury. Don't know when he'll be home or when I'll hear from him next. Feeling a bit lonely and sad.

I've got a bottle of red and a bar of Green & Blacks dark chocolate waiting for me downstairs. First drop of alcohol in almost a week. Just a glass.

Happy Friday to you all.

Edit: Canterbury gave me a number to call and we chatted for 40 minutes. It's the first time in 2 weeks that we've had a conversation longer than 5 minutes so good to talk to him. He is looking into flying me over to Sydney for a few days later next week. :)
