High (in more ways than one)

Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see with you.
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end of time?
Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me -High by James Blunt

I love love love this song. He just sounds so sincere singing it...The wonderful imagery it concocts in the mind, a beautiful morning, across the ocean shores with the person you love.

I listened to this song continuously on my plane ride to London. It was dark, all the other passengers were asleep, and I sat by the window, looking out into the seemingly endless dark sky, with a glass of tawny port in one hand, and my pen in the other, eagerly scribbling down whatever words my mind had to offer, into my faithful companion..my diary. Feeling all alone floating way above the clouds, it's one of the few times when I took so much comfort in my own solitude. Call me morbid, but all I could think of was that if I died at that moment, I would die happy.
