The Finish Line

Don't you just love it when you stumble upon a song you've had for years in your iTunes library, but have never ever heard, and it blows you away.  The odd track that doesn't fit with the rest of the album... the one that will never be the single... the one that blows you away, and makes you cry with just that one note... that makes the whole song beautiful...  have a listen...



The earth is warm next to my ear
Insect noise is all that I hear
A magic trick makes the world disappear
The skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear

A distant motorcade and suddenly there's joy
The snow and ticker tape blurs all my senses numb
It's like the finish line where everything just ends.
The crack of radios seems close enough to touch

Cold water, cleaning my wounds
A sad parade, with a single balloon
I'm done with this, I'm counting to ten
Bluest seas, running to them

I feel like I am watching everything from space
And in a minute I'll hear my name and I'll wake
I think the finish line's a good place we could start
Take a deep breath, take in all that you could want
