i got the wind knocked out of me last night. i got on line and saw this about Paul Hester of the band Crowded House.

as y'all may or may not know - i'm a total junkie for this band. i know that there are bands we like in high school or college and don't listen to anymore. but this was not one of them. i listened to them everyday ... when i find someone who knows one of their less popular songs ... it makes my heart leap. like i've found a kindred spirit.

and now, paul is gone. rest in peace.

Distant Sun
Tell me all the things you would change
I don't pretend to know what you want
when you come around and spin my top time and again, time and again
No fire where I lit my spark
I am not afraid of the dark
Where your words devour my heart And put me to shame, put me to shame

When your seven worlds collide
Whenever I'm by your side
Dust from a distant sun will shower over everyone

Still so young to travel so far
Old enough to know who you are
Wise enogh to carry the scars
Without any blame, there's no one to blame
It's easy to forget what you learned
Waiting for the thrill to return
Feeling your desire burn
And drawn to the flame

When your seven worlds collide
Whenever I'm by your side
Dust from a distant sun will shower over everyone
Dust from a distant sun will shower over everyone

And I'm lying on the table Washed out in a flood
Like a Christian feeling vengeance from above
I don't pretend to know what you want But I offer love

Seven worlds will collide
Whenever I'm by your side
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone
