Friday thoughts

Here I am on this Friday, still not sleeping very well, woke up today at 5.45am!! So unlike me to keep these recurring patterns of waking up early. Feels like there's a strange sense of something in the air, don't quite know what but I keep on feeling like something is going to happen!
Anyway, been listening to Van Morrison quite a bit recently. Never really been a huge fan of Van Morrison, mainly because I get sick of hearing 'Brown Eyed Girl'when I've been to certain bars or clubs!! Granted he's a good singer and songwriter but he's just doesn't hit my core like Jeff Buckley does.
Anyway, I borrowed 'Magic Time' from a student who I teach, in one of the probation hostels and loving quite a few tracks on this album, especially 'Stranded', 'Celtic New Year', 'Gypsy in my Soul', 'The Lion this time' and 'Magic Time'. Beautiful songs and lyrics that I'm actually liking.

Stranded
I’m stranded at the edge of the world
It’s a world I don’t know
Got no where to go
Feels like I’m stranded

And I’m stranded between that ol’
devil and the deep blue sea
And nobody’s gonna tell me, tell me
what, what time it is

Everyday, everyday, it’s hustle,
hustle time, hustle time
Everyday and every way, one more, one more mountain to climb

It’s leaving me stranded
In my own little island
With my eyes open wide
But I’m feeling stranded

Every, every, everyday, it’s hustle time
Every way, one more mountain to climb

I’m stranded between the devil and the deep blue sea
There ain’t no where else to be
‘Cept right here and I’m stranded
