Marv's Mind

"I'm with you"

I'm not much for teenie bopper music but I do have an eleven year old daughter...

My daughter left her Avril Lavigne CD in my car and I, ashamed to admit, listened through most of the songs. I was listening to #4 on the way to and from work today and it, for some strange reason, made me think about the victims in New Orleans. I would like to share the words with you...

“I’m with you”

I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound

Isn't anyone trying to find me
Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but I
I'm with you

I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Isn't anybody here I know
Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone trying to find me
Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but I
I'm with you
I'm with you

Why is everything so confusing
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah Yeah . . . .
