Array ( [sid] => 122415 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Small [time] => 2006-06-27 22:05:43 [hometext] => For those in the know ... think of Dennis DeYoung's voice, backed by the Trans Siberian Orchestra ( P.S. I never claimed to be completely sane ) [bodytext] =>
As a child I knew it all The world was big But I was tall
And I could do
Almost anything
I had the most
Amazing dreams

All my life I have been strong Always sure that I belonged
At any time
Right where I was
And life was good
The world was just

[But]
Now I know I was deceived And no one gives What they receive
At least not as
I used to think
This boy is standing
At the brink

[ Of ]
Breaking down And giving in Surrender to My father’s whim
And live the life
He left for me
Secure but in
Obscurity ~

[ And ]
It hurts to be misguided By the things you trust the most Like living a good life, to die And find that Heaven’s closed Or saving all your pennies for Some unknown rainy day To discover when you get there They will not accept your change And I thought I would accomplish So much more within my life I would travel ‘round the world Visit my favorite places twice Or maybe leave my mark somewhere Someday someone might find That somehow speaks more to their heart Than it ever did to mine ~

Hiding there Inside of me Somewhere deep That I can’t see
I know my dreams
Remain alive
Hear them whisper
In the night

[ But ]
Seldom do They come to call I know that when The darkness falls
I"ll be alone
Inside this hell
And I have never, ever felt

No, I have never ever felt

Oh, I have never ever felt ~

So

Sweety, I am so honored to be able to hear these words they way you intend them.

As I told you last night this is truly a lyrical master piece. Absolutely one of your best.

Yes, I am a lucky girl.

Love you sweets

HOLY HECK SNAZZY!!!!!!!!!!

oh my my my! YES! I can hear him loud and clear in this scotty.
WOW. Freakin brilliant hun. [I am suddenly overcome with the
need to hear TSO!!! thanks a lot! lol]

The words ... oh god, the WORDS! They just jumped right of the page and became
a part of me. The insanity in you, struck so familiar a chord in me! I completely
relate to this piece on many many levels. Especially that last bit ... oh heavens
I think I may still shed a tear ..

Masterful work here Scotty. I think this is one of the most extraordinary writes I've read from
you ever. I found it completely captivating. You word wizardry is of extreme calibre and
the emotions you evoke ... true genius!

Trés bon, mon ami!!!!

Excellent work. So many of life's lessons seem to be weaved into this, and each verse just seemed to give you one more point to ponder. A very pleasant read. The ending was a nice payoff too.
