Ihath, is this a karaoke challenge or what? That is a bootkickin' hard act to follow...

Well, where i am winter is on its way around, so the earth is probably showing itself towards summer in Iraq. Long days to short and short to long, refreshing to think of an axis in terms of that spindle upon which our globe spins. I could lip-synch Stevie Wonders "world, keep on turning..." but am going to torture anyone reading with another Ben Harper song instead...

She's Only Happy in the Sun

I know you may not
want to see me
on your way down
from the clouds

Would you hear me
if i told you
that my heart is
with you now

She's only happy
in the sun
she's only happy
in the sun

Did you find
what you were after
the pain and the laughter
bought you to your knees

But if the sun
sets you free
sets you free
you'll be free indeed

She's only happy
in the sun
she's only happy
in the sun

Everytime i
hear you laughing
I hear you laughing
it makes me cry

Like the story
of life
of life
is hello goodbye

She's only happy
in the sun
she's only happy
in the sun

She's only happy
in the sun
she's only happy
in the sun

(actually, she is just as happy in the rain, when the seasons change).
