‘I recognize the girl but I can’t settle in these walls’
Here on Sia’s actual 38th birthday, I was just listening to the Acoustic Storm on Pirate Radio.
The first song after the show ended at noon was Natalie Merchant. Not my cuppa tea but I was too distracted to close out the app.
The second song, of course it was “Runaways” by The Killers.
For a moment I was back in Miami with her, rocking out at the concert.
How do I manage to hear this every year on her birthday?
I know. Of course I know.
Love you, girl.
*sending kisses heaven-ward, which is all around me*
I hope I am not sending Cocoa your way soon. But I fear I might.
Keep an eye on my little girl with the big purr, would you?
I’ll just be here painfully aware that everyone I love is dead or on their way there.
