Outside, another yellow moon has punched a hole in the nighttime

Ms. Brownlow has got me all addicted to puppycam!

It's "Great Dane Service" that trains danes to help people with mobility challenges. They have a camera set up where you can watch the moms and their little pups! We've been watching Olive give birth to a litter.

Here's the puppinis and their attendants, making sure everyone gets some milk:



____LOVE SONG OF THE DAY____

Let's get a song from Tom Waits' album Rain Dogs. I'd only heard "Downtown Train" by Rod, so the first time I saw this Tom Waits video I was like "WHAT?" That voice, and raw emotion, and it brings out the poetry of the lyrics.... Well, we can still give Rod credit for having good taste.

Waits writes great, great love songs. As one of the youtube commenters said: "When Waits wants to get romantic, boy howdy, but doesn't he?"

I know your window
And I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway

    Apparently I didn't post the video! That's what you get for blogging when sleepies.

    My problem is that I can't understand everything that Tom Waits says. So I lose a lot of the message I think.

    I have the same problem with Tom sometimes - but I love his sound... so I go find the lyrics online:

    Outside another yellow moon
    Has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
    I climb through the window and down to the street
    I'm shining like a new dime
    The downtown trains are full with all of those Brooklyn girls
    They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

    Well you wave your hand and they scatter like crows
    They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
    They're just thorns without the rose
    Be careful of them in the dark
    Oh, if I was the one you chose to be your only one
    Oh baby can't you hear me now, can't you hear me now

    Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
    Every night it's just the same, you leave me lonely now

    I know your window and I know it's late
    I know your stairs and your doorway
    I walk down your street and past your gate
    I stand by the light at the four-way
    You watch them as they fall, oh baby, they all have heart attacks
    They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back

    Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
    Where every night, every night it's just the same, oh baby
    Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
    All of my dreams they fall like rain, oh baby on a downtown train

    Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
    Where every night, every night it's just the same, oh baby
    Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
    All of my dreams just fall like rain, all on a downtown train
    All on a downtown train, all on a downtown train
    All on a downtown train, a downtown train
