ch and i went to see melissa etheridge at taste of chicago tonight! sure makes me feel like a lesbian. i don't know very many of her songs, other than the radio hits from highschool and the albums ch keeps at work. still, it was fun, she is quite the crowd pleaser. and it's always nice when you find a song that you can sing in your own life. i, of course, am relating alot to "angels will fall" these days.
"So I'll come by and see you again
I'll be such a very good friend
Have mercy on my soul
I will never let you know
Where my mind has been
Angels never came down
There's no one here they want to hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall
I've crept into your temple
I have slept upon your pew
I've dreamed of the divinity
Inside and out of you
I want it more than truth
I can taste it on my breath
I would give my life just for a little death
So I'll come by and see you again
I'll be just a very good friend
I will not look upon your face
I will not touch upon your grace
Your ecclesiastic skin
I'll come by and see you again
I'll have to be a very good friend
If I whisper they will know
I'll just turn around and go
You will never know my sin"
as we were parting, i gave ch a big hug, and as he stood up (i'm short, you know) he petted my shoulder and said, "wait, what's this?" i was afraid he'd say sunburn, but he said, "is this ecclesiastic skin?"
i love this man.
anyway, i'm leaving for st. paul tomorrow. have to escape the caucophony of the southside of chicago for the 4th. but i'll be back soon, with more of the same. i love you, elusive reader.
