Quote by Amanda Craig

“A hundred years ago, people had perfectly understood that you could die of a broken heart, now they thought you were making a fuss about nothing…Certain kinds of suffering are like radiation: they cause furious growth and mutation of the inner self.”

“JAMIE'S SONG 'Bright Blue Dream': I watch the world go round and round. And see the sun go up and down. I think I’ve heard most every sound Except your voice. I feel the river by my feet. And let the tears dry indiscrete. Seems the horizon’s incomplete Without your face. The world is a colder place, Shadows everywhere you used to be. Darker than the darkest nights I’ve seen. And I try go back to that Bright blue dream. When there was nothing, there was nothing, but you and me. Clear blue sky. Yes there was something, there was something, I could not see.”

“JAMIE'S SONG 'LOVE TRANSFUSION': I’m not sleeping nights, I’m not doing good. I’m not eating right, have no use for food. All I do is bleed dry for you. But somehow I survive, And wake up with more love for you. It’s not blood running through my veins, it’s you. I’ve had a strange blood transfusion, To add to my confusion. It’s not compatible; I’m going hysterical. It’s some kind of love transfusion. Love transfusion. Love transfusion. I’ve had a strange blood transfusion. Blood transfusion. Blood transfusion. It’s not blood running through my veins, it’s you.”

“JAMIE'S SONG 'August and November': They say it was a beautiful summer. I say I felt so cold the whole short while. I heard that it rained for days, Between August and November. Well I didn’t see it rain on the enslaved river. I am the river no more (x2) And the rain is just acid water from their cloudy black smoke. And now I’m at a standstill on the streets, That are lit up like a funfair from some forgotten dream. Yet faces, headlights, and the whole world passes by me. Without taking a step, I’m down in the hole too. And if it rains this coming Dark and lonely December, I will never watch it fall on the entrapped river. I am the river no more (x2) And the rain is acid water from their cloudy black smoke.”

“JAMIE'S SONG 'WHERE YOU ARE': I left my heart at your door, Don’t tread on it on your way out. It’s convulsing on the floor, Can’t you hear it scream and shout? I dropped my life by your feet, Don’t kick it as you walk down the street. I put my dreams in your hand, Don’t let them slip through your fingers like grains of sand. And my eyes will watch you from afar, Guide you like a shooting star. And you’ll see that I’ll always be where you are. Where you are. Yes, you know that I’ll always be where you are. Yes my eyes will watch you from afar, Guide you like a shooting star. And you’ll see that I’ll always be where you are. Where you are.”
