There's a fire on the mountain
There's a fire in my soul
There's a sign on the highway
It's a hard road
There's a break in a heart
There's a break in a bone
There's a ghost in the dark
It's a hard road
There's blood in the kitchen
In the shape of a sin
There's a ship in the water
But it ain't coming in
There's a fall of an angel
At the end of the show
But who's gonna save my soul
It's a hard road
There's a heavy jacket
There's a heavy load
There's a weight on my shoulders
It's a hard road
There's a howl at the backdoor
There's a howl in the cold
There's a broken bottle
It's a hard road
There's a strange feeling coming over me
Hollow eyes misery
There's someone at the backdoor
There's someone in the cold
God save my soul
"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
~ Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms
~ Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms
"Our lives disconnect and reconnect, we move on, and later we may touch one another, again bounce away. This is the felt shape of a human life, neither simply linear nor wholly disjunctive nor endlessly bifurcating, but rather this bouncey sequence of bumping into's and tumblings apart."
~ Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet
