A long December, and there’s reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can’t remember the last thing that you said as you were leaving
Now the days go by so fast…

It was late in December
The sky turned to snow
All round the day
Was going down slow
Night like a river
Beginning to flow
I feel the beat of my mind
Go drifting into time passages
Years go falling in the fading light…
Al Stewart
Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The ocean sang, the conversation’s dimmed
Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn’t mine…

Long distance information
get me Memphis Tennesee
Help me find the party tried
To get in touch with me
She did not leave a number
But I know which place to calll
Cos my uncle took the message
And he wrote it on the wall
Johnny Rivers
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds all over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
Bastille-Pompeii
Oh, hello, give me missing persons, they said
“What is it that you need?”
I said, “Oh, I need her so”
They said, “You’ve got to stop your pleading”
'Cause no matter what you do
Even pray to heaven above,
All you’ll ever get from her is
Long distance love
- Little Feat “Long Distance Love”
I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
- U2 “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”
We’ll let blood build a bridge over mountains draped in stars
I’ll meet you on the ridge between these worlds apart
We’ve got this moment now to live, then it’s all just dust and dark
Let’s let love give what it gives
Let’s let love give what it gives

I would do anything
Anything for you now
I would go anywhere
Anywhere at all
Don’t wanna lose you
Lose you to anyone
I could be anyone
Anyone at all

I can’t do the talks like they talk on the TV
And I can’t do a love song like the way it’s meant to be
I can’t do everything but I’ll do anything for you
I can’t do anything except be in love with you…

And they’re there for you
For you alone

What is this weather, and what is this darkness
And why do I feel so alone?
When will it snow, it’s been raining for hours
And why do I feel so alone?
(Lisa Loeb)
Brightening the stars
The weather is lifting
The heavens love a love like this
It’s pulling you higher, twist it and turn this around
It lights from within, it dribbles your chin
Now brings a smile, I’m lost again
I’m lost again
- R.E.M. “You’re in the Air”
Walking ‘round the room singing “Stormy Weather”
At 57 Mount Pleasant Street
Well it’s the same room, but everything’s different
You can fight the sleep, but not the dream
Things ain’t cookin’ in my kitchen
Strange affliction, wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn’t conquer the blue sky
- Crowded House “Weather With You”
She said, ‘I’m home on shore leave,’
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
[Saying, ‘You must be the mermaid
Who took Neptune for a ride.’
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straight away died
[If music be the food of love
Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front
[Then dirt in truth is clean
Procul Harem
Whiter Shade Of Pale (long version)
Will you always float here with me?
I don’t want to send second-hand notes
To you, my friend, about the sea
So we jump back into the party
And we wade out way out past the bar
I had not, I had not planned on going out this far
Hang on to me and I’ll hang on to you
Until the end, or until the day is through
And as we float, I’ll wash away that part of me
That lures the devil in the deep blue sea
(Carbon Leaf)
You’re swimming by my teardrops
But I want to know for sure that you’ll let me see
You know I want you
You know I need you
If I’m not with you
I’m not so much of a man
I’m like a fish on the sand
George Harrison
The sea, the sea, the sea
It’s such a salty magic place
If you find yourself goin’ under
You’ll remember the taste
The waves, the waves, the waves
How they’re putting out my flames
Whoa, that’s okay
I should be more tame
- Sierra Ferrell “The Sea”
When your day is night alone
If you feel like letting go
If you think you’ve had too much
Of this life, well hang on
'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends…

She hangs her head and cries on my shirt
She must be hurt very badly
Tell me what’s making you sad, Li?
Open your door, don’t hide in the dark
You’re lost in the dark, you can trust me
’Cause you know that’s how it must be
Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa

I keep the wolf from the door
But he calls me up
Calls me on the phone
Tells me all the ways that he’s gonna mess me up
Steal all my children if I don’t pay the ransom
And I’ll never see them again if I squeal to the cops
- Radiohead “A Wolf at the Door”
Wilder, lower wolves
Here’s a house to put
Wolves out the door
