I've been so into Damien Rice, an Irish singer, who has touched voice and colors in his songs. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Rice)
A part of the reason why his music has driven me so much is that I miss you more and more, and the place we used to hang around together ss time passes, .
It gets worse if I listen to his songs, and I happen to listen to his songs almost everyday.

One of my favorites, of course the one, which hurts my heart most, is "Old Chest".
Whenever I listen to the last phrase of the song, I just feel something sinking in the heart.
I always believe that everything will be fine as time passes by. The thing is, as time passes by I think about us hanging together back there, missing you more and more.
How long should I wait until I finally feel fine about your absence?

"Older Chests"

Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall
Starting small, and grow in time
And we all seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf
of too many books
Read me your favorite line

Papa went to other lands
And he found someone who understands
The ticking, and the western man's need to cry
He came back the other day, yeah you know
Some things in life may change
And some things
They stay the same

Like time, there's always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time

Older gents sit on the fence
With their cap in hand
Looking grand
They watch their city change
Children scream, or so it seems,
Louder than before
Out of doors, into stores with bigger names
Mama tried to wash their faces
But these kids they lost their graces
And daddy lost at the races too many times

She broke down the other day, yeah you know
Some things in life may change
And some things they stay the same

Like time, time, there's always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time,
Time, there's always time
On my mind
Pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time
