I Better Be Quiet Now - Elliott Smith

  

Wish you gave me a number
Wish I could call you today
Just to hear a voice
I got a long way to go
Getting further away
 
If I didn't know the difference
Living alone would probably be ok
It wouldn't be lonely
I got a long way to go
Getting further away
 
A lot of hours to occupy, it was easy
When I didn't know you yet
Things I'd have to forget
 
But I better be quiet now
I'm tired of wasting my breath
Carrying on, getting upset
 
Maybe I have a problem
But that's not what I wanted to say
I prefer to say nothing
I got a long way to go
Getting further away
 
Had a dream as an army man with an order
Just to march in my place
But a dead enemy
Screams in my face
 
But I better be quiet now
I'm tired of wasting my breath
Carrying on, not over it yet
 
Wish I knew what you were doing
Why you want to do it this way
So I can't go the distance
I got a long way to go
I'm getting further away
I got a long way to go
Getting further away

It has been terrific fun creating and maintaining this blog over the past few months.  I appreciate the time some of you have invested in reading it, and for the comments some of you have offered.
  
For now I'm going to take a break from it all... Just now I'm feeling how Elliott must have felt when he wrote this gorgeous song.
  
At some point I'll probably pick it up again... or perhaps I'll just post the occasional photo from the iPhone while on the fly sometime, somewhere.
  
So... until sometime, somewhere... be well.  CCE
