Purple

This song by Crustation was on a sampler that I had to audition in Quality Assurance at BMG back in 1995, if memory serves correctly. The band's album was never released under the BMG umbrella. I'm not sure if it was ever released at all. But this song, this "Purple," became one of my most cherished songs. It's one of those songs that sings into your cells and lingers there to comfort you and possibly lull you into a sense of security that might be displaced. It's a perfect Vampire song. Read the lyrics and judge for yourself.

Purple by Crustation

Sitting in the silent twilight
The purple half light
Of the twilight
Wrap the night around me
Blanket of black on my back
I feel safe in the darkness

Your voice is a caress
Delights my senses
Heightens my happiness
Lightens my sadness
Your eyes were on me I remember
Those days in September
Sunset run night
Your hand held in mine

Sitting in the silent twilight
The purple half light
Of the twilight
Wrap the night around me
Blanket of black on my back
I feel safe in the darkness

The silence is so loud
I almost feel it
Nothing to say now
Barely can talk now
I'm feeling like I'm lost
I'm feeling dumb
Speechless and numb
So long I've been blind
I'm losing my mind

Sitting in the silent twilight
The purple half light
Of the twilight
Wrap the night around me
Blanket of black on my back
I feel safe in the darkness

Sitting in the silent twilight rapture
Could it be too hard to capture ?
This velvet moment of serenity

Injured

After my constant calling for a good half hour this morning, Smidgen finally appeared, walking oddly toward me like the good little Number One she is. Her gait was anything but, however, appearing more to be a strained partial stride. I scooped my baby up in my arms and brought her in to inspect her. Sure enough, in the vicinity of her right shoulder resides an angry wound, probably the result of a feline rumble. She either lost this one or the one she was fighting looks like a bloody Picasso. Now there's food for thought.

Anyway, I have some leftover antibiotics that I got for Chester's dental and am pumping Smidgen full of those now. Smidgen h has now been seriously medicated and transformed into a 24/7 house cat until I'm satisfied that she's once again whole.
