Willamette Greenway Trail (SW Macadam Ave)

add to kirtsy

Tonight I grabbed my iPod and headed out the door to walk to my favorite trail in Portland. The Willamette Greenway Trail has a magical calming effect on me. Deep breaths. Swishing water. It's perfect.

I heard a new song the other day on 94.7 by The Weepies, called The World Spins Madly On. I listened to this song over and over again tonight as I was walking by the river, clearing out all my thoughts. I memorized the words.

Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you'd gone
and let the world spin madly on



Everything that I said I'd do
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
And the world spins madly on

I let the day go by

I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill

The whole world is moving and I'm standing still


Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed
The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on

I thought of you and where you'd gone

And the world spins madly on.
