Living In The Dark

When I first started this particular blog, I planned to write every day. But lufe got in my way for w while. I had ideas. I knew what  wanted to write abiut, but I just couldn't write it. There are thoughts in my mind at this point of my life that only God knows and will know. There are thought's I don't plan to share with anybody. I bet just about everyine who has walked this way understands. There are simoply oains we will not let others kow...even our nearest and dearest. There are no words to describe how it feels you are putting your loved ones through the ultimate hurt and they will continue to hurt when you're gone. You can't help it or stop it and you can't prevent it, try as you might. This isn't how it was supposed to be, but this is how it is and this is the timing of it. Too soon. Too early. Too much left to do and can't. Even if there were words to describe it, only God would know them.

I've been watching CNN's "The Eighties" on Netflix. Last night it was about the muscic in the 80s and of course, Bruce Springsteen got a plg and it was "Dancing in the Dark." A favorite. I have a great friend, my big melaBro, Rich McDonald, who  writes the "Hotel Melanoma" blog and what he does is take a Rock classic and put a melanoma twist on it. He has written some for me. I take requests and I've been told I'm "bossy" so I take advantage of that trait and I BOSS. People just think Springsteen/s The Boss...it's really me! insert annoying smiley face here.

So here's my take on Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" at this time of my life. (link to watch video with Courtney Cox)

“Living When It’s Dark” a rewrite based on Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark”

I stay up in the evening
and I sure got plenty to say
I’m at home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I am anything but tired
Man I'm not tired just bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
My life's on fire
even if we're just living in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer
TV's on and I'm skootching 'round the place
Won’t check my look in the mirror
I ain’t changing my clothes, my hair, my face
But I ain't going nowhere
I AM living in our house like this
There's something happening right here
baby I just know that there is

You can't start a fire
you can't start a fire without a spark
My life’s on fire
even if we're just living in the dark

You sit wantin’ to get older
want a joke here somewhere but it's on me

I'll shake this world off my shoulders
come on baby this time's on me

Remember the streets of this town
and they'll be hugging you up alright
They say you gotta stay living
hey baby I'm just living through tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm tired of sitting 'round here trying to live this life
I need a little action
come on now baby gimme some more time

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a dying heart
My life’s on fire
Even if we're just living in the dark
You can't start a fire even when your little world’s falling apart
My life’s on fire
Even if we're just living in the dark
Even if we're just living in the dark
Even if we're just living in the dark
Even if we're just living in the dark
Hey baby
