Cats in the cradle

Group 5 minus 1 · ‎03-11-2010

Son and DIL are in Texas to attend a wedding and just relax a little. Talked to them this am when they got off the plane. Told my son son we had had more snow and he said he was going to tell his sons to do the driveway. They are adults and will be fine at home. My son had grown up just like me.

Loved Harry Chapin and his song "Cats In The Cradle"

A bittersweet lyric by Chapin about loneliness:

A Better Place To Be:

The waitress took a bar rag, and she wiped it across her eyes. And as she spoke her voice came out as something like a sigh. She said "I wish that I was beautiful, or that you were halfway blind. And I wish I weren't so dog-gone fat, I wish that you were mine. And I wish that you'd come with me, when I leave for home. For we both know all about loneliness, and livin' all alone."

And the little man, Looked at the empty glass in his hand. And he smiled a crooked grin, He said, " I guess I'm out of gin. And know we both have been so lonely. And if you want me to come with you, then that's all right with me. 'Cause I know I'm goin' nowhere and anywhere's a better place to be." "
