I went and saw BLOW tonight. Great movie. Anyway, there was this phrase that caught my ears....so its on my mind and im gonna use the idea here as it comes to me......
ive left pieces of my heart
scattered around my life
here and there
memories are all i have
was it worth it
will it be worth it
now im here
all alone
i close my eyes to see you
and when i wake up
youre gone from everything i have
you were all i wanted
all i wanted to love
you made it real for me
all these days were worth it to see you
to know that it wasnt for 'naught
standing on these shores
i can see all the birds heading south
running from the cold of the winter
and the harsh winds
theyre heading to the warmer air
scattered pieces of my heart
left out in the cold
waiting for someone to put them back together
up the stairs and behind the dresser
are the pictures that keep me sane
leafing through my life
nothing but bits of grain
and the fading gray of my mind
the ashes and the coals still burn
the smell of my childhood still remains
the swing in the yard
running down the pasture and through the woods
playing football across the road
knowing that youre dead, you died to young and i never got to see you grow
leaving so young
my house became a ghost
i still return from time to time
and the little pieces of my heart
make amends for a moment
but when i leave
they scatter again
little bits of my heart
strewn through my life
and across the world that i have seen
so many people ive come across
strangers and friends
thousands at least
strangers in the airport
we were friends, if just for a beer or two
money here, money there
torn tickets and nothing to eat
too much sleep or not enough
time zones switch like the passing of a train
flying to the next place youll never see again
maybe one day to return
to find those little pieces of my heart
scattered through the corners of my life
