Marina

Description
My wife often sends me blogs and compelling stories that she comes across during her day. Marina Keegan's piece for the Yale Daily News "The Opposite of Loneliness" simply stopped me in my tracks. If you haven't had a chance to read "The Opposite of Loneliness" please do here: http://yaledailynews.com/crosscampus/2012/05/27/keegan-the-opposite-of-loneliness/ This song is inspired by Marina and dedicated to her memory. sincerely, Jesse
Lyrics
Marina Half a mural on her wall Swirling sunsets, metallic stars And she gets home late, just another night Words stream out above streetlights I picture her far-off stare She could have gone anywhere Instead she's bouncing off all the satellites Some things never will die Marina Oh my the song comes slow For a face I did not know For some words now etched in stone and in my mind Oh my I must confess I hate to see the light like this The opposite of loneliness is where I am Oh Marina, why'd you have to go Why'd you have to go Amber hair in a photograph She's trying hard not to laugh I woke up today feeling so damn young Free to go where the muse may run Marina Oh my the song comes slow For a face I did not know For some words now etched in stone and in my mind Oh my I must confess I hate to see the light like this The opposite of loneliness is where I am Oh Marina Thanks for passing through my friend I swear I'll always look ahead It's all that matters in the end Oh my the song comes slow For a face I did not know For some words now etched in stone and in my mind Oh my I must confess I hate to see the light like this The opposite of loneliness is where I am Oh Marina, why'd you have to go Why'd you have to go Jesse Terry -- Jackson Beach Music (SESAC) 2012 http://www.jesseterrymusic.com/
