Wishing Chair: Music

Meditation 23

(Wishing Chair)
March 16, 1998
Words and Music by Kiya Heartwood
I was writing in my diary
And the X-File reruns were on TV
And the Taylor boys with their dinosaurs
They were capturing the halls
In the apartment that is next to mine
Mr. Nolan he is right on time
With a carton of Luckys,
A bottle of wine
And a new toy for his dog

Chorus:

Miracles happen everyday
Blacks and whites and shades of gray
It doesn’t matter to who you pray/ what you say/ I'm thinking it'll be okay if
Somebody's listening

Well Sarah's drinking her first beer
To a shoplifted copy of Everclear
Wishing she could disappear
Or at least pierce her nose
And I'm wonderin' if you noticed it
That there are straight people on the cover of the Advocate
Well maybe they're gay and don't know it yet
But you think that they would know

Chorus

So you and I are on the roof
With a guitar, some blankets and something 90 proof
Trying to recapture our reckless youth
Or at least just see the stars
And you took the chance to tell me then
That I would always be your friend
I just kissed you on the hand and said
Part of me is who you are

Chorus
