Listening to

I don't really know this guy's stuff very well, but I lurve this song and I can't get it out of my head. I think everyone is just relieved that I've given my Scissors Sisters CD a rest for a while (it will be back)..


M.Ward--"Chinese Translation"

I sailed a wild, wild sea
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met a old, old man beneath a weeping willow tree
He said now if you got some questions go and lay them at my feet
but my time here is brief
so you'll have to pick just three
And I said What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart
and how can a man like me
remain in the light
and if life is really as short as they say
then why is the night so long
and then the sun went down
and he sang for me this song

See I once was a young fool like you
afraid to do the things that I knew I had to do
So I played an escapade just like you
I played an escapade just like you
I sailed a wild, wild sea
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met an old, old man
he sat beneath a sapling tree
He said now if you got some questions go and lay them at my feet
but my time here is brief
so you'll have to pick just three
