Sometime last night or early morning I woke up to the sound of low rumblings of thunder off in the distance. Rain again. Instantaneously, before I open my eyes, I hear not only Bob Seager, but The Silver Bullet Band singing "Night Moves" to me inside my head-
"Woke last night to the sound of thunder,
how far off, I sat and wonder.
Started humming a song from 1962,
funny how the night moves,
when you haven't got much to lose,
funny how the night moves...
with autumn closing in...
Not one of my favorite songs, or one I have or pay much attention to. To me it is a sad song of loneliness and yearning. But damn if I couldn't get that stinking song out of my head. Laid in bed listening to the far off storm and trying to remember the words to this song. Thought at one point of getting up to look up the lyrics on the net, but of course didn't. Why couldn't it have been AC/DC's "Thunder Struck", or Effiels "Life Like Thunder"? Those words I know by heart. Damn those Night Moves.
