Her Morning Elegance

This is shaping up to be a slow day... trying to do productive things, but not really feeling as if my time is being well spent. Cleaning floors, the bathroom, doing laundry while outside it rains and you are being lulled by the dreary day outside.

Everything feels like too much effort. I love the lyrics to this song... Just look at the first verse and you won't be surprised why. :) I've shown this video before, but it's okay, I can show it again. It has too much of today in it not to.


Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance




Sun been down for days
A pretty flower in a vase
A slipper by the fireplace
A cello lying in its case

Soon she's down the stairs
Her morning elegance she wears
The sound of water makes her dream
Awoken by a cloud of steam
She pours a daydream in a cup
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

And she fights for her life
as she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
as it pours
And she fights for her life
as she goes in a store
with a thought she has caught
by a thread
she pays for the bread
and she goes
Nobody knows

Sun been down for days
A winter melody she plays
The thunder makes her contemplate
She hears a noise behind the gate
Perhaps a letter with a dove
Perhaps a stranger she could love

etc.



Even if I have no one to impress, I still have to live with myself. So I'll organise a driving lesson with Aisha and get the ball moving. I told a someone at work that her 27 year old friend without a driver's license was just irresponsible... that they were a burden to society (or at least their friends). :P I don't want to have to eat my words and be that which I just disdained.

Later,
