"She can't see the landscape anymore
It's all painted in her grief
All of her history etched out at her feet
Now all of the landscape, it's just an empty place
Acres of longing, mountains of tenderness
'Cause she's just like the weather, can't hold her together
Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow
'Cause it's burning through the bloodline
It's cutting down the family tree
Growing in the landscape, darling, in between you and me
She wants the silence but fears the solitude
She wants to be alone and together with you
So she ran to the lighthouse, hoped that it would help her see
She saw that the lighthouse had been washed out to sea
'Cause she's just like the weather, can't hold her together
Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow
'Cause it's burning through the bloodline
It's cutting down the family tree
Growing in the landscape, darling, in between you and me"


I walked slowly, my feet leading me in a different direction with every step. I couldn't walk straight. Hell, I couldn't even see straight. I had nowhere to go. No one left to run to. My career was kicking off, so I had enough money for a place to stay. I just didn't know where. I was alone. I had to remain alone.
My black boots stopped in their tracks as I peered up to the sign above me, my eyes clouded with tears.
'hotel Cortez' I sighed, in almost a whisper.
I hadn't known where I was going that night, but I think a part of me always knew that I'd end up at the Cortez.
