When I worked in London my boss used to play Lucinda Williams all the time... It drove me crazy. But I heard this song on the radio this morning and it resonated... I'm vunerable in the mornings....
I changed the lock on my front door
So you can't see me anymore
And you can't come inside my house
And you can't lie down on my couch
I changed the number on my phone
So you can't call me up at home
And you can't say those things to me
That make me fall down on my knees
Yes I changed the kind of car I drive
So you can't see me when I go by
And you can't chase me up the street
And you can't knock me off of my feet
I changed the kind of clothes I wear
So you can't find me anywhere
You can't spot me in a crowd
And you can't call my name out loud
I changed the tracks underneath the train
So you can't find me ever again
And you can't trace my path
And you can't hear me laugh
And honey, I'm laughing all the time!
I changed the name of this town
So you can't follow me down
And you can't touch me like before
And you can't make me want you more
I changed the lock on my front door
I changed the number on my phone
I changed the kind of car I drive
I changed the kind of clothes I wear
I changed the tracks underneath the train
I changed the name of this town
I changed the name of this town
I changed the name of this town

do you have any idea how beautiful you are? any old person can see the visual element to this - but i feel lucky to know about the rest. you saved me tonight, whether you realised it or not, and i want to thank you for your intuition, your insight and your warming, heartening, sustaining love. you're a joy.
oh, and i think you and jamie durie would make a lovely couple.
