Robert's Story

How many special people change? How many lives are living strange? Where were you while we were getting high? from Champagne Supernova by Oasis We were lost in the music With love and lust Looking everywhere for Anything and everything Hearing a sound, a beat A heartbeat Following something Dreaming And then I got married. Remember, I knocked Lori up Had to get married Well, didn't have to But did Did the responsible thing Her being Catholic and Me being nervous. I did what I had to do. Join the military a few days After the honeymoon Since I really didn't Have a job and money And responsibility Were key. I left you guys sitting At the Magic Cottage Hanging. Me always looking over my Shoulder Thinking about the Heavenly manna of youth That rained down upon us And gave us food for thought. We dreamed and swore We'd never get married Didn't want to be like Our parents Had better things to do. At night we sat on the Cliff That overlooked the bay and Could see land elsewhere. We were smoked by Beach fires and light Headed from cheap wine. We floated Defied gravity Set new boundaries Stretched our minds. We were pirates Whose ship sat Just south of the harbor Along Route 35. I missed you all But I ...Expand for more
was helpless. I couldn't change The fact that Gravity had pulled Me down Made me into something I didn't want to be. After basic training Me and the fattened wife Moved to Mississippi With its southern drawl That slowed me right Down and time with children and the military. I didn't mean to make A career of it 4 years I'm through I thought But they made Me a cliché I couldn't refuse - A 10 grand bonus for Reenlisting. At the time Money was king and We were it's humble Servants Exchanging bottles for Macaroni and cheese with Hot dog slices. I took the money and The air traffic control Job as far as I could Went to church Did all the things I thought I should. 12 years into it and The sh*t Came down. The wife left the kids With me to find herself In another man's arms. I wished for better days Closed my eyes Thought of you and that Holy beach town And cried. I wanted to come home. I wanted to hang out At the Magic Cottage Sit down the Cliff Warm my hands By the fire My heart by your sides. I looked at the liquid moon And blessed you. Now, time has created space Between us. My kids are grown Have kids of their own. And I stretch out in My backyard at night And let smoked memories Creep into my heart and lungs Holding my breath As I watch for Shooting stars.
