Eileen

If I wanted a song to express the way loss tugs at my heart, I could not find a better one than "Eileen," by The Hush Sound. It's absolutely perfect for my particular situation.

When you get the chance, listen to it. Not only is it perfect, but it's also beautiful...

Lyrics:
Dear, you left too soon, went to the next room
If you haunt me, I'll sing for you
The hinges move, connecting me and you
It's a doorway you're knocking through

We walk down a dock, and the water's cold
You want me to escort you
Oh, I'd love to go swim with you in death
My heavy heart won't let me tread

So I must stay on the shore
I am young, my blood warm
I can take you this far
Now my love, we must part

When blood and youth were warmer
We breathed summer like the sweet air
We found each other like a mirror
We were so optimistic, it was so easy to be
We were young and naive

Can you pull down the dawn?
It's been so dark since you've been gone
And we've been begging for the morning to come...

We'll be fine in the morning
It's getting late, so we must sleep
We'll see you in the morning, Eileen.



Oh, and happy Thanksgiving, everyone. :]
