far from the place that we know


Motherland cradle me
Close my eyes
Lullaby me to sleep
Keep me safe
Lie with me
Stay beside me
Don't go

It's your happiness I want most of all
And for that I'd do anything at all, o mercy me!
If you want the best of it or the most of all
If there is anything I can do at all



Now come on shot gun bride
What makes me envy your life?
Faceless, nameless, innocent, blameless and free,
What's that like to be?

(Natalie Merchant, Motherland)

    It is the perfect song for this post. So completely sad, but in a beautiful cathartic way. Sigh.

    The perfect song for this post, the day Omega left London. It comes to mind so often when I leave a place (or person/people) that I have grown to love and have come to mean home. So completely, tragically sad, but in a beautiful cathartic way. Sigh.
