Title: The Moon That Stole My Slumber
By: Bethany (PlaceToHide.net)
Angels On The Moon -- Thriving Ivory
Do you believe, in the day that you were born
Tell me do you believe?
Do you know, that everyday's the first
Of the rest of your life?
Over The Hills And Far Away -- Led Zeppelin
Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missin',
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold.
many many men can't see the open road.
(This one is for the brothers, Jared and Shannon, and the life they've chosen.)
Across The Night -- Silverchair
Across the night
I fell tired, asleep in a golden ocean
I don't mean to make you cry
Was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night
I fell in love with people sleeping
Eyes perspired, a spark in my fascination
But this feeling will run right through the night
I'll only make you cry with these feelings
Closer -- Kings of Leon
You shimmy shook my bones,
Leavin' me stranded,
All in love on my own.
Do you think of me?
Where am I now, baby, where do I sleep?
It feels so good but I'm old,
Two-thousand years of chasin', takin' it's toll.
Run -- Snow Patrol
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Sky Blue -- Peter Gabriel
Lost my time, lost my place in
Sky blue
Those two blue eyes light your face in
Sky blue
I know how to fly, I know how to drown in
Sky blue
(The importance of "blue eyes" really stuck out to me so I wanted a song that captured that.)
Was It A Dream? -- 30 Seconds To Mars
Was it a dream?
Was it a dream?
Is this the only evidence that proves it
A photograph of you and I
Your reflection I've erased
Like a thousand burned out yesterdays
Believe me when I say goodbye forever
Is for good
We Might As Well Be Strangers -- Keane
I don't know your face no more
Or feel your touch that I adore
I don't know your face no more
It's just a place I'm looking for
(It's a bit of a stretch, but it does remind me of Taylor's feelings about losing Caroline.)
Carry Me Home -- The Hush Sound
Wait for the wind to blow
Can't carry myself can't carry me home
On my own will
Can't let you go just yet
Can't bury myself can't carry us both
On my own will
I Wanna Life -- Goldfrapp
I search alone on empty glasses
The lights come on illuminating
A nowhere bar that's like a Tardis
It's the longest night
I've ever known
(I'll admit I included this just for the Tardis line.)
Dog Days Are Over -- Florence + The Machine
The dog days are over
Run fast for your mother; run fast for your father
The dog days are done
The horses are comin' so you better run
Run for your children all your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
(I like the sort of bittersweet hopeful feeling of this. Taylor has a long road ahead of him, but he's got the strength to get through it.)
