This may seem weird, but when I think of my sometimes complicated relationship with playwriting and theatre...and believe me, it's complicated...these lyrics from The Band sum up my feelings nicely. All the times I've quit, sworn it off, said goddamn it...walk away. Then picked up the pen again. And quietly thought: Smart people believe in you...maybe this time, you'll get it right.
Out of the Blue
Out of this world
Out of this mind
Out of this love for you
Out of this world
Out of the blue
Out of this love for you
Sometimes I don't know you
You're like someone else
But that's all right
I'm a stranger here myself
She don't shed a tear
When I walk out that door
She knows, she knows
I'll be coming back for more
Out of this world
Out of this mind
Out of this love for you
Out of this world
Out of the blue
Out of this love for you
It's in the cards
It's written in the stars
It's in the wee-wee hours
In some lonely bar
She don't stay up all night
And walk the floor
She knows damn well
I'll be coming back for more
Out of this world
Out of this mind
Out of this love for you
Out of this world
Out of the blue
Out of this love for you
