Most at home near water. and mountains. and family. I love drinking tea, preferably while reading an interesting book. I like learning new things, lovely art, history, children, gardening...good conversation among friends. a kind smile. a wicked grin, for that matter. feeling serene..........and road trips are fun, too. I guess that's a few interests, not really a bio...you'll have to read some posts for a glimpse there.

An Armageddon Love Song

Rate: 14 Flag

Armageddon?  I'm not afraid. 

Here's a love song for my Open Salon friends -- just in case!

...although, not everyone will fit in my bed, and the lovemaking will be platonic grooving to tunes....         

 

 When the World Ends, Dave Matthews Band

(video has been removed, but lyrics are below)

Ah, when the world ends
Collect your things you're coming with me
When the world ends
You tuckle up yourself with me
And watch it as the stars disappear to nothing
The day the world is over
Ah, we'll be lying in bed

And I'm gonna rock you like a baby when the cities fall
We will rise as the building's crumble
Float there and watch it all
Amidst the burning, we'll be churning
Our love will be our wings
Passion rising up from the ashes
When the world ends

When the world ends
You're gonna come with me
We're gonna to be crazy
Like a river bends, ya'lk
We're going to float
Through the criss cross of the mountains
Watch them fade to nothing
When the world ends
You know that's what's happening now
And I'm gonna be there with you somehow, oh...

Aw, we gonna tie you up like a baby in a carriage car
Your legs won't work cause you want me so
You just lie spread to the wall
The love you got is surely all the love that I would ever need
I'm gonna take you by my side
And love you tall, 'til the world ends

Yeah, but don't you worry about a thing
No, 'cause I got you here with me
Mm-mmm, don't you worry about a
Just you and me
Floating through the empty, empty
Just you and me
Oh, graces
Oh, grace

Ah, when the world ends
We'll be burning one
When the world ends, yeah,
We'll be sweet makin' love
Oh, you know when the world ends
I'm going to take you aside and say
Let's watch it fade away, fade away
Ah, the world's done
Ours just begun
It's done
Ours just begun

And we're gonna dive into the emptiness
We'll be swimming
I'm gonna walk you through the pathless roads
I'm gonna take you to the top of the mountain that's no longer there
Ah, I'm gonna take you to bed and love you, I swear
Just like the end is near

I'm gonna take you up to
Well, I'm gonna take you down on you
I'm gonna hold you like an angel, angel
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you
When the world ends, y'all
I'm gonna hold you
When the world is over
We'll just be beginning... yeah

We'll be just starting out
When the world ends
You and me, we'll just be beginning
Ow, oh ya know when the world ends
You and me we'll be beginning
We started out
When the world ends oh,

Love, love, love, love
When the world ends
Love, love, love, love
When the world ends
You know, that's what's happening now...

Thank you for posting the lyrics, because my computer, poor old gal, can't usually process videos. And tonight is no exception. But I can imagine Dave's voice and I LOVE what's written here. I hope if it all ends, I'll keep this message in my heart!
As usual, entertaining me! :)
Great Post see you tomorrow. :D
Thanks, Linda!!
Alysa: Isn't Dave Matthews just like no one else??
Thanks, Cindy! Nice to see you : )
tg: I think this rapture thing is just so silly... 6 PM on the dot?? What, did God tell you the time zone too? Nice to see you!
Very cool I had never heard this :) Very fitting!
Thanks, Lunchlady, isn't though? : )
Ah, the world's done
Ours just begun
It's done
Ours just begun

Platonic groovy vibe-sharing is what the world
was made for, by
his "demiurge"....

To approximate the Forms mutually in our daily
adventures in the shared world.

Love is a ladder, he taught us.
It leads to the One,
the Form of forms, the very God.
"Love is a ladder, he taught us.
It leads to the One,
the Form of forms, the very God."

Thanks for this, James, I absolutely love that you wrote this, in particular.
Yes.
Perfect. Absolutely perfect for today! Thank you.
Sounds like fun, hope it was.

The lyrics are beautiful; I hope that is how it does happen - when it does.

Well, I learned a new word: tuckle. Never heard that one before. Sorry I'm so late; fortunately, we won't need to pile into your bed...yet, anyway. :D

I opened the video like I'd open a new bottle of Advil. With gratitude!

Give your husband an apostrophe from me!

Keep thinking, just a little while longer. I think the next Armageddon is scheduled for Oct. 2011!
Jon, Zanelle, Romantic: Thanks! I just love this song and it seems very appropriate these days...wouldn't it be lovely if this were a possible way to go out?? : )
Fusun: I love your romantic soul...I do hope we both are tucked in with our lovers and grinning when it all goes... : )
Lezlie: Tuckle is a new one to me too...I had just mumbled before when singing along to this part, now I know....and fortunately? the end is not as nigh as they thought. : )
