Key of Knowledge












“It was a mistake to think of houses, old houses, as being empty. 

They were filled with memories, with the faded echoes of voices. 

Drops of tears, drops of blood, the ring of laughter, the edge of tempers that had ebbed and

 flowed between the walls, into the walls, over the years


Wasn't it, after all, a kind of life?


And there were houses, he knew it, that breathed.

 They carried in their wood and stone, their brick and mortar a kind of ego that was nearly, 

 very nearly, human.” 


Nora Roberts,
Key of Knowledge

2012 Through my Eyes














































Songwriters: DAVID GILMOUR, NICHOLAS MASON, ROGER WATERS, RICK WRIGHT
Ticking away the moments
That make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours
In an off-hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground
In your home town
Waiting for someone or something
To show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today

And then the one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

And you run and you run
To catch up with the sun
But it's sinking

Racing around
To come up behind you again

The sun is the same
In a relative way
But you're older

Shorter of breath
And one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way

The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

Home
Home again
I like to be here
When I can

When I come home
Cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones
Beside the fire

Far away
Across the field
Tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell...
