Saturday Thoughts

I’ve been listening to music most of the day. My cousin will hate it, but I’ve been listening to Paul McCartney. Not that she “hates Paul”, it’s just that he isn’t her favorite Beatle. But much of his music, especially in the early “Post Beatle” years speaks to me and I often drag out the old music and remember a time when I was a teenager with no problems, no cares and my biggest trauma was not having a date for the weekend.
Now all these years later, it is often comforting to listen. Often when I feel life has not been so kind. Or when I am feeling a little bit alone. I listen and feel, just for a moment ageless.
It was during this time that I saw and heard Pauls new song, and I fell in love with the words. It made me think about Hubby and feeling safe and being loved.

Follow Me (McCartney) –

You lift up my spirits, you shine on my soul
Whenever I’m empty, you make me feel whole
I can rely on you, to guide me through, any situation
You hold up a sign that reads, follow me.

You give me direction, you show me the way
You give me a reason, to face every day
I can depend on you, to send me to, any destination
You hold up a sign that reads, follow me, follow me.

Down the track of lonelines, down the path of love
Through the words of heartache, to the end
On the shores of sorrow, where the waves of hope crash in
The perfect place for me to find a friend. ahh yeah yeah yeah, oh

You lead to places, that I’ve never been
Uncovering secrets, that I’ve never seen
I can rely on you, to guide me through, any situation
You hold up a sign that reads, follow me, follow me,
Follow me, follow me,
Follow me, follow me
