Another sleepless night I can't explain Somebody said they heard me call your name The radio won't let you leave my mind I know it's over but I don't know why Should've known better Than to fall in love with you Now love is just a faded memory Should've known better Now I'm a prisoner to this pain And my heart still aches for you There was no risk that I wouldn't take And not a promise that I didn't make All I asked was that you just hold on And now I'm wondering what I did wrong Should've known better Than to fall in love with you Now love is just a faded memory Should've known better Now I'm a prisoner to this pain And my heart still aches for you I gave you all of my body and soul Never believing we might lose control I took my hands off the wheel I can't remember if the lies were true It's been a million years since I touched you I thought time might help me win this game But being away from you is slowly driving me insane Should've known better Than to fall in love with you Now love is just a faded memory Should've known better Now I'm a prisoner to this pain And my heart still aches for you

I never realized Watterson was a prophet.

Frictionburn?

Shouldn't they be "Dendrites"?

The road goes straight to the town I'm headed for Pretty cold town that I never seen before I've trouble on my mind hope this new town will be kind New people and a new job is what I need to find New town new town now don't you let me down I've traveled seven hundred miles to be where I am bound New town new town I'd like a chance to stay Leave behind the old town and live a brand new way My life isn't easy as I hear the new town call You're headin' for a future or you're ridin' for a fall And all through the day I can hear the old town say You can't beat your troubles if you run the other way New town new town now don't you let me down I've traveled seven hundred miles to be where I am bound New town new town I'd like a chance to stay Leave behind the old town and live a brand new way Time is dragging as the road stretches on And while the wheels are turning my past is further on And as the trees are going by I wonder what I'll do And why I left the old town to gamble with a new New town new town now don't you let me down I've traveled seven hundred miles to be where I am bound New town new town I'd like a chance to stay Leave behind the old town and live a brand new way New town new town now don't you let me down I've traveled seven hundred miles to be where I am bound New town new town I'd like a chance to stay Leave behind the old town and live a brand new way

I was thinking about her, visiting the past Reconstructing details with old photographs I was studying the faces with an objective point of view Suddenly remembering doesn't haunt me I'll follow the sun And now the time has come, and so, my love, I must go And though I lose a friend, in the end you will know oh One day you'll find that I have gone But tomorrow might rain so I'll follow the sun All the time you couldn't tell me that one day I'd be glad That something that I thought was love was misinterpreted But they were doing me a favor, a blessing in disguise If she would've been faithful, if she could have been true Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love I would've missed out on you I watch you sleeping, your body touching me There's no doubt about it, this is where I want to be You know it's so ironic, I had to lose to win I want to thank her, if she would've been faithful If she could have been true Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love I would've missed out on you It's a paradox full of contradiction, how I got from there to here It defies a logical explanation If she would've been faithful, if she could have been true Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love I would've missed out on you If she would've been faithful, if she could have been true Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love I would've missed out on you

I know. I've seen giants, up close, and that privilege cost me, nearly everything. But the good ones, the real deal? They're not heroes because of what they have that we don't, it's what they do with it. You're right, Mike, it matters who you are.

Oooooh (Ooh ooh) Debonair lullabies In melodies revealed In deep despair on lonely nights He knows just how you feel The slyest rhymes, the sharpest suits In miracles made real Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night You know you're right just to hold her tight He soothes it right, makes it out of sight And everything's good in the world tonight When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything As she's packing her things As she's spreading her wings The front door might slam But the back door it rings And Smokey sings, he sings Elegance in eloquence For sale or rent or hire Should I say yes and match his best? Then I would be a liar Symphonies that soothe the rage When lovers' hearts catch fire Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night You know you're right just to hold her tight He soothes it right, makes it out of sight And everything's good in the world tonight When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything yeah As she's packing her things As she's spreading her wings Smashing the hell With the heaven she brings Then Smokey sings, he sings Luther croons Sly's the original originator James screams uh-uh Marvin was the only innovator (Innovator) But nothing can compare Nothing can compare When Smokey sings (Sings) When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything As she's packing her things (Ooh ooh) As she's spreading her wings (Ooh ooh) She threw back the ring (Ooh ooh) When Smokey sings Smokey sings (Smokey sings) Smokey sings (Smokey sings)

Some dreams are in the night time And some seem like yesterday But leaves turn brown and fade Ships sail away You long to say a thousand words But seasons change It feels like it's forever No reason for emptiness But time just runs away No more day by day You dream again it seems in vain When seasons change I want you I want to feel you by my side I need you Don't you know I need you baby Seasons change feelings change It's been so long since I found you Yet it seems like yesterday Seasons change people change I'll sacrifice tomorrow Just to have you here today For ever seems so far away There's time for love and for play You dream about today Feeling slips away The winds that blow they go away And seasons change I want you Don't hide your feelings from inside I need you I've got to have your love now baby Seasons change feelings change It's been so long since I found you Yet it seems like yesterday Seasons change people change I want you I want to feel you by my side I need you I've got to have your love now baby Seasons change feelings change It's been so long since I found you Yet it seems like yesterday Seasons change people change I'll sacrifice tomorrow Just to have you here today Just to have you here today Seasons change feelings change It's been so long since I found you Yet it seems like yesterday Seasons change people change Change the season

We're not indestructible Baby, better get that straight I think it's unbelievable How you give into the hands of fate Some things are worth fighting for Some feelings never die I'm not askin' for another chance I just wanna know why There's no easy way out There's no shortcut home There's no easy way out Givin' in can't be wrong I don't wanna pacify you I don't wanna drag you down But I'm feelin' like a prisoner Like a stranger in a no named town I see all the angry faces Afraid that could be you and me Talkin' about what might have been I'm thinkin' about what it used to be There's no easy way out There's no shortcut home There's no easy way out Givin' in can't be wrong Baby, baby, we can shed this skin We can know how we feel inside Instead of goin' down an endless road Not knowin' if we're dead or alive Some things are worth fightin' for Some feelings never die I'm not askin' for another chance I just wanna know why There's no easy way out There's no shortcut home There's no easy way out Givin' in, givin' in can't be wrong, no There's no easy way out (There's no easy way out) There's no shortcut home (There's no shortcut home) There's no easy way out (There's no easy, no easy, no easy way out) There's no easy way out (There's no easy way out) There's no shortcut home (There's no shortcut home) There's no easy way out (There's no easy, no easy, no easy way out) There's no easy way out There's no shortcut home There's no easy way out

Marlene lay with her head in Jason's lap. She was facing him with one hand slipped behind the small of his back. Jason had one hand on her side and the other gently massaged the back of her neck. Jason's head was tilted back. His ankles were crossed on the coffee table. She sighed when the doorbell rang. “All good things...” she muttered, forcing herself up. She made her way to the door. The doorman stood on the other side holding a brown paper bag. “Delivery,” he said when Marlene opened the door. Smiling, Marlene said, “Thanks, James. Did I cover it all?” “Yes, Ma'am. Enjoy your dinner.” James turned and headed back toward the elevator. She closed the door and turned back. The only sign of Jason were his shoes under the table. Marlene frowned. The bag of food went on the counter. Making her way down the hall to the bedroom, she found Jason laying on the bed. He had stripped down to a pair of shorts. One arm was across his eyes. Smiling, she bent over and gave him a kiss. Turning back toward the door, Jason's hand caught hers. “You need something?” “You,” he answered. “I'm going to put the food away for later. Then I'll change out of my clothes and curl up with you.” Power flowed. Others have described the sensation like a momentary sense of being naked and the change was done. To Marlene it had always felt like Jason was touching her everywhere all at once. It was somewhat arousing to her and the thoughts she had about it slipped into erotic. When it was done, she found herself in a long, green satin nightgown. Dark lace adorned the bodice, sleeves, and lower hem. “Hmm. Someone went shopping for me.” “I went shopping for me. I thought that might look good in a painting of my favorite lingerie model.” Marlene smiled. “I thought Leah was your favorite.” “Second favorite.” “What made her slip a spot?” Marlene asked teasingly. “Probably the fact I haven't seen her in lingerie in several years.” “I'll be right back.” When she came back Jason seemed to be asleep. She pulled a light blanket up from the foot of the bed to cover him. Marlene slipped in laying her head on his chest with an arm to either side. Jason's arms came up to hold her. * * * * * “What did you get me?” “I called Wolfgang's. Chicken and rice, broccoli, and macaroni and cheese.” Dani helped Trese off with her coat. “How was it?” “So many people had plans. They didn't get to tell their loved ones that they loved them one last time. One woman threatened her husband with divorce. Then he ends up dead.” Trese slipped her shoes off. “One woman is pregnant. They hadn't been married a year yet. He'd been with the company less than five months.” She came to Dani and put her hands on Dani's hips. Dani's arms went around Trese. Their foreheads came together. “I'm drained. I'm tired.” “What happens with the pregnant woman?” Trese picked her head up and smiled. “Jason put her husband on the rolls. He can argue with the insurance people. He is going to maintain the husband's pay. At least for a while.” “Shower or dinner first?” “Shower. Maybe it will help.”

Standing in your doorway Nothing much to see Remember conversations Between you and me Forgot about the feeling Forgot about the pain Forgot about the hopeful nights Calling again Just a victim of the moment- Nobody's fault, nobody fooled Ah, it's funny how things seem to slip away From me and you...so I keep going From eye to eye Face to face Moving oh so fast Never getting any place I keep going Eye to eye And face to face Will I ever find you, will I ever find you? Looking in a window Nothing much to do Almost feeling humble Needing you Most of my embraces Don't hold on so tight But after all, if I don't try What will feel right? Yes, it has to make me wonder- I'm so alone and yet so free Ah, it's funny how things seem to slip away From you and me - still I keep going From eye to eye Face to face Moving oh so fast Never getting any place I keep going Eye to eye And face to face Will I ever find you, will I ever find you

Will there come a day when you and I can say We can fin'lly see each other? Will there come a time when we can find the time To reach out for one another? We've been trav'lin' in circles such a long, long time, Try'n' to say hello, And we can just let it ride, But you're someone that I'd like to get to know. I'll meet you halfway, That's better than no way. There must be someway to get it together. And if there's some way I know that some day We just might work it out forever. I'll meet you halfway, That's better than no way. Will there come a day when you and I can say We can fin'lly see each other?

Leaning against Marlene's desk, Trese watched her. She looked as drained as Trese felt. “What's left on your schedule?” Tapping her screen, Marlene said, “I've got a meeting at four.” “Internal or external?” Trese asked. “That's the meeting with Accounting?” Sarah asked. “Yes.” “Sarah, shift the meeting from Marlene's schedule to mine. You can send whatever you've got for the meeting to my inbox and I'll go over it.” “What are you doing?” Marlene asked. Trese smiled. “Asserting my authority.” “And what do you expect me to do?” “I expect you to collect your things, take the rest of the day off, taking Jason with you. I expect you to turn off your phones and find a quiet place where you can take a break. Find a place where people won't expect to find you or will at least respect your privacy if they do know you're there.” Marlene stared at Trese for a moment and then smiled. “Sarah, can you order me and Jason some dinner? Have it delivered to my apartment here, please.” “Anything in particular?” Sarah asked. “Anything not pizza,” answered Marlene. She stood up and went to her closet, taking out a long coat and draping that over her arm. “Do you know where Jason is?” “Research. Talking with whoever will talk to him.” Trese watched while Marlene collected whatever she felt needed collecting and slipped it into her briefcase before snapping it closed. She slipped on her coat and gathered her bag and briefcase. “Thanks,” Marlene said stepping around her desk. Trese leaned her cheek towards Marlene and put a finger on it. Marlene kissed it and hugged Trese. “Thanks, Sis.” “Go get him and get out of here before I change my mind and run off to spend time with Dani.” Marlene left her office. “The Thai place delivers here. Do you think Jason will mind?” Smiling at Sarah, Trese said, “Nope. I'll be in my office. If you don't have anything left to do today with Marlene gone, feel free to escape, too.” “Thanks,” she said to Trese's back. Walking back to her own office Trese felt the weight of the day pulling her down. She felt her own need to decompress. Dinner with Dani and maybe a movie. Stepping into her office, she pulled her phone out and tapped the screen. “Mentor, Jason gets the night off. I don't care if the world decides to end.” “Yes, Trese.” “Pass me to Dani, please.” “Hey!” “Hey, yourself.” “Whatcha need?” “My bestie.” “There?” Dani asked with concern. “No. This mess is done. I chased Marlene out and confiscated her last meeting. I need to go over her notes for it. After I get out, I need dinner, maybe a movie, and to unwind.” “It's Brad's night for dinner,” Dani said. “Ugh. I need comfort food. Not hot wings and beer.” “What would you like?” “Anything not pizza.” Dani laughed. “But pizza is comforting.” “Serious, Dani. Nothing really greasy.” “Okay, Teke. I'll take care of it. Call me when you're heading out.” “I will. Dani?” “Yeah?” “I love you.” “I love you, too. See you in a while.”

I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers For Saturday's date and i restlessly counted the hours. Then today in the mail i received this short little note And i broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote. Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again; We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then. They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in their plan. Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann. The weeks have gone by not a word have i heard since then; In the papers i read of the far away places she's been. I can't eat, i can't sleep for over and over again My mind reads that letter and i cry for my Mary Ann. Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again; We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then. They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan. Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann. My Mary Ann died, they said she just wasted away; If i could have seen her i know she'd be living today. For we loved each other and if they'd have left us alone, Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone. Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again; We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then. They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan. Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann.

I've made a small fortune and you squandered it all You shamed me till I feel about one inch tall But I thought I loved you and I hoped you would change So I gritted my teeth and didn't complain Now you come to me with a simple goodbye You tell me you're leaving but you won't tell me why We're here at the station and you're getting on And all I can think of is thank God and Greyhound you're gone Thank God and Greyhound you're gone That load on my mind got lighter when you got on That shiny old bus is a beautiful sight With the black smoke a rolling up around the taillights It may sound kind-a cruel but I've been silent too long Thank God and Greyhound you're gone Thank God and Greyhound you're gone I didn't know how much longer I could go on Watching you take the respect out of me Watching you make a total wreck out of me That big diesel motor is a playing my song Thank God and Greyhound you're gone Thank God and Greyhound you're gone
