Two songs popped up on the walk to Peets this am. First was "September." I got a little sad at first blush, for a variety of reasons. Then I noted that they sing about the 21st of September. I wondered for a minute if there was some deeper meaning, not really knowing what day today was (it's been an insane week). I checked my calendar and viola...that would be today. Hmm, a crack in the melancholy. Then came "Counting Blue Cars." I almost skipped it but for some reason let it play. Then had to play it a few more times. By the third time I was back at the elevators and going up. Going up.
Must of been mid afternoon
I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out and
He walked with a purpose
In his sneakers, down the street
He had, many questions
Like children often do
He said,
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
Tell me am I very far?
Must of been late afternoon
On our way the sun broke free of the clouds
We count only blue cars
Skip the cracks, in the street
And ask many questions
Like children often do
We said,
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
'Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God,
Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far -
Am I very far now?
Its getting cold picked up the pace
How our shoes make hard noises in this place
Our clothes are stained
We pass many, cross eyed people
And ask many questions
Like children often do
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
'Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
'Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far?
Am I very far now
Am I very far now
Am I very far now
