A Song Of Shadows |
Reading John Connolly’s novel 'A Song Of Shadows' |
Was looking out my bay window at the stunning Golden Gate Bridge |
It’s May 12th, 7 p.m. |
at night |
And I’m sitting here waiting for you and I don’t like it that we’ve been in a |
fight |
I leave at the end of next week to start a tour in Paris |
And like always the night before I’m going to take you out to Harris |
Our favorite dinner spot in the world down on Van Ness |
Me and my girl, my everything, my beautiful princess |
I’m a handful anyone would agree that’s true |
And when I die someday everybody who knew me will have a good story or two |
But one thing nobody ever really knew |
Is just how much you mean to me and how deeply I loved you |
Without you my life would cave in |
I’d be an empty old man curled up in a bed laying there aging |
I’d have a girl who’d be sitting here next to me staring at her phone |
Shooting stupid photos of her stupid face out into this stupid world |
Without you my life would be a ship wreck |
I’d be going down to the bank depositing my royalty checks |
Flirting with the bank tellers behind the desk |
And when I’d walk out the door they’d all have a good laugh at my expense |
I remember my 43rd birthday you took me for steak and lobster at Poor Red’s |
We came back and got in my hot tub up in the mountains |
There was a chill in the air and light snow on the ground |
It was the best birthday I ever had and I was so proud to have you in my life |
and I’d just bought the house |
Now it’s May 16th and I’m on your couch sitting by the fireplace |
You’re making chili in the kitchen and it smells so good and we’ve patched |
things up and now I’m feeling OK |
And I’m intrigued with this character a young girl named Amanda the daughter of |
Ruth Winter in the book 'A Song of Shadows' |
She’s got a thing for older men no time for boys her own age |
And it’s time to eat now so I closed the book on an airplane ticket between the |
67th and 68th page |
And it’s Saturday, 9 p.m. |
at night |
And in this moment I love you so much and everything about my life |
Without you I’d not have much to live for |
When I come home from these long trips and set my shit down on the floor |
I’d have a number from some girl from Singapore or Shanghai |
And when I’d call her she’d ask if I had Twitter or Skype and I’d lay down on |
my bed and I’d wanna fucking die |
Without you my life would be a nightmare |
I’d hibernate all through the winter like a big old Alaskan brown bear |
And I’d spend my Christmases &my birthdays all alone and way down there in the |
stack of books would be 'A Song Of Shadows' |
