yet again, I realize why I love music so much. To hear someone else pour themselves out in emotion and experience lets us all know that we are not alone. Even in our own created or imposed "hells", someone else has been there. And even our own created or imposed "Heavens", someone else has been there. Thank God for the poets, musicians, and the grafitti artists who channel our collective emotions so that all may partake. Even though the details are different, the pain is the same.
Thanks again to my old friend James. If you have listed to Jimmy Buffett as long as I have, you can call him James too. Thanks again for another song, another emotion, and another collective experience.
I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
And it rained, It was nothing really new
And it blew, we've seen all that before
And it poured, the Earth began to strain
Pontchartrain leaking through the door, tides at war
If a hurricane doesn't leave you dead
It will make you strong
Don't try to explain it just nod your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
[Guitar Solo]
And it rained, It was nothing really new
And it blew, seen all that before
And it poured, the Earth began to strain
Pontchartrain buried the 9th Ward to the 2nd floor
According to my watch the time is now
Past is dead and gone
Don't try to shake it just nod your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
Don't try to shake it just bow your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
