I'm collecting the moments one by one
Helping the kids out of their coats
Oh wait the babies haven't been born oh
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups oh
But in the meantime we've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay
Old dirt road,
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
knee deep snow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
o-o-o-o-old
I got a man to stick it out
And make a home from a rented house oh
And we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done oh
How many acres, how much light
Tucked in the woods and out of sight
Talk to the neighbours and tip my cap
On a little road barely on the map
Old dirt road,
mushaboom, mushaboom)
knee deep snow
mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow,
mushaboom, mushaboom)
o-o-o-o-old
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Old dirt road rambling rose
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Well I'm Sold...
For the past few nights, as I drive my way back home from eight hours of continuous standing up, I blast this song loudly on the car stereo, watching the multicolor streaks of neon light of a city so alive and hectic form on the sides of my ever hopeful eyes. Streaks of lights that seem to point to a direction, or rather, directions, and they panic me. But only for a second, then I'm reminded I'll have plenty of time to follow all of them. And where they take me, I hope I find more neon streaks of light to keep the energy sparkling.
This song perfectly describes my place in life right now. I am collecting every single moment, every single face I meet, every single joke I laugh at in an old wooden jewelry box from Flagstaff, Arizona, hoping they will amount to something great.
In the meantime, I'll let a little joyous smile escape my lips as I make my way all the way from Tropicana to home every single night singing to my Feist's Mushaboom.
