Darkness Settles In...

When your going through sadness the last thing you can do is talk with someone who thinks they have it worse...Or at least that's how I am. I have a friend who I haven't talked to in so long, tonight I miss him, I miss his friendship, but we're complicated... Not in any bad way but he's been depressed for a while... & with everything that's happened with me and my loss. I wasn't in the place I could be to take care of him and make him feel better when I could barely convince myself of that... I'm still not in any place to do that... Not yet... I just hope that he's hung on in his time of sorrow & not given up. Tonight I wanna call... Wanna check in on him... Make sure he's OK...but I'm not strong enough to comfort someone else... So I'm trying to distract myself from the fact that someone may need me... Someone may need to hear my voice... & tonight I may give in even if I'm not ready yet...So tonights song is a song from one of our favorite movies... Ladder 49.
Shine Your Light by Robbie Robertson

The cry of the city like a siren's song
Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long
Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky
Must be someone's soul passing by

These are the streets
Where we used to run where your Papa's from
These are the days
Where you become what you become
These are the streets
Where the story's told
The truth unfolds
Darkness settles in

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength
To carry on, carry on

Don't wanna be a hero
Just an everyday man
Trying to do the job the very best he can
But now it's like living on borrowed time
Out on the rim, over the line
Always tempting fate like a game of chance
Never wanna stick around to the very last dance
Sometimes i stumble and take a hard fall
Loose(?) hold your grip off the wall

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength to carry on
Carry on

I thought i saw him walking by the side of the road
Maybe trying to find his way home

He's here but not here
He's gone but not gone
Just hope he knows if I get lost

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength to carry on
To carry on
