And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
Here am I floatin’ ‘round my tin can far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and there’s nothing I can do
Space Oddity - David Bowie (via brokenpromiseland)

Through my sleepless days I’ve found
That in my dreamless sleep I’m bound
To one night here the sound of you calling
Do not stumble through tonight
Have no fear of falling

Everyone seems so certain
Everyone knows who they are
Everyone’s got a mother and a father
They all seem so sure they’re going far
They all got more friends than they can use

Except me ‘cause I’m a fool
I’m simple as a bee
As a melody in C
But it don’t matter
There are more wishes than stars
Wishes and Stars - Harper Simon

Every time I see you
It gets a little worse
Perhaps things are getting better
But how can one be so sure?

I said what if we are like the Northern sky?
What if there are things that come between us that we can’t take back and we can’t make right

Put it into gear we’ve got a long way to go
You can play your Dylan
When we have to take it slow
And everytime you lose your mind
From driving in your bed
There’s another world just waiting up ahead
So you just drive Mr Baylis
Don’t you worry ‘bout the weather
I asked the rain to hold off
and so far it looks just fine
We’re only half way through our journey
But I think we’re gonna make it
And you can sleep when darkness comes around
Cos this roads the only thing that holds you down
Mr Baylis - Kasey Chambers

I hold this letter in my hand
A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer
I hope it does as I have planned
Losing her again is more than I can bear
I kiss the cold, white envelope
I press my lips against her name
Two hundred words. We live in hope
The sky hangs heavy with rain

Love Letter Love Letter
Go get her Go get her
Love Letter Love Letter
Go tell her Go tell her

Love Letter - Nick Cave

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through
for you
Smile - Nat King Cole

You don’t know what love is
Until you know the meaning of the blues
Till you love the love you had to lose
You don’t know what love is.

You don’t know how hearts burn
The love that cannot live but never dies
Until you face each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don’t know what love is.
You Don’t Know What Love Is - John Martyn

Don’t stand so close to me,
Don’t be another tragedy.
I’ve burned everybody who had a hand to lend,
A man burning at both ends.

No one put me in this hell,
I lit a fire underneath myself.
Now I’m blazing that same old trail back to you again,
A man burning at both ends.
Man Burning - Josh Ritter
