Today started out good. There is a free coffee maker in our break room at work. It is a trial for Green Mountain Coffee. What a terrific machine! All week the coffee is free. Needless to say, I was completely wired today. But now, it's Friday evening. My kids are running around the apartment. I feel a little sad.
Radio Netscape has the coolest Madonna station. I heard a song from the album Bedtime Stories that I haven't heard in a while. It is a little sad, so it fits my mood this evening. Here is a sample of the lyrics...
Love Tried to Welcome Me
These are my hands, but what can they give me?
These are my eyes, but they cannot see
These are my arms, but they don't know tenderness
And I must confess that I am usually drawn to sadness
And loneliness has never been a stranger to me, but
Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
Love tried to take me in
These are my lips, but they whisper sorrow
This is my voice, but it's telling lies
I know how to laugh, but I don't know happiness
And I must confess, instead of spring, it's always winter
And my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still
Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
I was covered with dust and sin
Love tried to take me in
Words and Music by Madonna and Dave Hall
