And nothing but water for miles...

Flocking to the sea
Crowds of people wait for me
Sea gulls scavenge, steal ice cream
Worries vanish within my dream

I left my soul there, down by the sea
I lost control here living free
I left my soul there, down by the sea
I lost control here, living free

Fishing boats sail past the shore
No singing may-day any more
The sun is shining, the water's clear
Just you and I walk along the pier

I left my soul there, down by the sea
I lost control here living free
I left my soul there, down by the sea
I lost control here living free

A cool breeze flows but mind the wasp
Some get stung it's worth the cost
I'd love to stay but the city calls me home
More hassles, fuss, and lies on the phone

I left my soul there, down by the sea
I lost control here living free
I left my soul there, down by the sea
I lost control with you,
And living, living,
And I, living, by the sea

Back a night early, but not for any bad reason. I had a fabulous time, and actually contemplated pillows and bedsheets more than ceiling... ;)

My brain's in overdrive right now, thoughts pinballing around my head, not to mention that I'm in the dead quiet emotional space that means a major storm's about to blow through. I'll probably write more when I'm a bit more settled.

Feeling the need to take off on Bellenoire for a little while, except... I seem to remember sundart mentioning that she might ride her out to athene's for the party tonight. I'll have to check the garage. Or maybe I won't, maybe I'll curl up into the corner of my couch and smell the ocean still ground into my shirt and think...

Ah, by the way, it looks like snow and ice season's pretty much over. So I tentatively repost my request for some kind soul with an automatic transmission willing to risk life and limb their vehicles in the grand pursuit of getting me my damned license already.
