Saint Patrick's Day

New song, old song, I'm not too sure....

One thing I'm sure of, it's totally my cup of tea now. Reflects my pensive mood in this rainy, pseudo-winter times in tropical SG. And of the impending holiday season, which will see me slogging my a*s off for final year project and partying myself silly with my dear friends.

But nowhere will my so and so, my special one be near me.


St. Patrick's Day- John Mayer

Here comes the cold
Break out the winter clothes
And find a love to call your own
You - enter you
Your cheeks a shade of pink
And the rest of you in powder blue

Who knows what will be
But I'll make you this guarantee

No way November will see our goodbye
When it comes to December it's obvious why
No one wants to be alone at Christmas time

In the dark, on the phone
You tell me the names of your brothers
And your favorite colors
I'm learning you
And when it snows again
We'll take a walk outside
And search the sky
Like children do I'll say to you

No way November will see our goodbye
When it comes to December it's obvious why
No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
And come January we're frozen inside
Making new resolutions a hundred times
February, won't you be my valentine?

And we'll both be safe 'til St. Patrick's Day

We should take a ride tonight around the town
and look around at all the beautiful houses
something in the way that blue lights on a black night
can make you feel more
everybody, it seems to me, just wants to be
just like you and me

No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
Come January we're frozen inside
Making new resolutions a hundred times
February, won't you be my valentine?

And if our always is all that we gave
And we someday take that away
I'll be alright if it was just 'til St. Patrick's Day



Such a beautiful poem just by itself. Tells of how fleeting modern romances are. How sweet and subtle the courtship at the beginning and how love will fly away within months.
Nov- they get together
Dec- they will still be together
Jan- they split up ergo the frozen insides and new resolutionsa hundred times
Feb- they get back just in time for Valentine's and that will last them thru to St Pat's Day on March 17th.

Beautiful but so cynical. Perfectly in line with my thoughts now. I've been safe for a year and it's been a good year. How long will I be safe for?
