HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEN!



ARTIST - SPARKLEHORSE
SONG - GOLD DAY

22 years ago today, I gave birth to the best thing that ever happened to me. The video to this song is a little strange but the words and melody always make me tear up. My son has a lot of responsibility running the restaurant, sometimes he gets really tired, and I know, like the song says, sometimes it can weigh a ton, but he handles the responsibility well. My job of raising him is pretty much at an end and my wish and hope for him is as Sparklehorse so eloquently puts it: may all your days be gold my child.



good morning my child
stay with me a while
you not got any place to be
won't you sit a spell with me

you've got diamonds for eyes
it's time for you to rise
and evaporate
in the sun
sometimes it can weigh
a ton

keep all your crows away
hold skinny wolves at bay
in silver piles of smiles
may all your days be gold my child

a necklace of leaves
spirits in the trees
and drown all the clocks 'til there's none
little ambient in the sun

keep all your crows away
hold skinny wolves at bay
in silver piles of smiles
may all your days be gold my child

ha-ah, ha-ah, ha-ah, hah-ahh

good morning my child
stay with me a while
and evaporate in the sun
sometimes it can weigh a ton

keep all your crows away
hold skinny wolves at bay
in silver piles of smiles
may all your days be gold my child
