I am....

hiding in my office, so Cate the Great wrote me a song for my day (which is Tuesday but I'm hiding this behind the Monday Funny)...

A Sad Song

She came to work this morning

the creature of her routine

moving in the ways she should

while different thoughts shocked through her head

"to hell with this all, I'm not working today"

and she closed the door behind her

hiding away



So she's sitting at her desk while the slow Tuesday passes outside

all quiet in the hallways

her red hair is curled and she's got her comfortable shoes

virtual conversations are keeping her going

and she's silencing her pager

living in her head

hiding away from reality's chill and the face of spurned advances

and it's a smart pretty head, so what's the harm in living there she asks

and the world and reality are trying

intrusions are knocking

but she's pushing them away

singin' along to only the saddest songs

the echoes of her fear and pain

the maps across her hopeful heart

she's singin the blues with the door closed

Oh, how I wish I had a door to close.
