Quite awhile ago, I said that often my brain, all on its own, will go out and select a song with lyrics appropriate to whatever I'm going through at the moment, to give me perspective or deeper understanding, or just to help me focus on my feelings and reactions to things. Oftentimes it's just a piece of a song that plays over and over.

And since Laura's death, it's been a little bit of a David Gray song. The rest of the song doesn't fit at all; I think it's actually a frustrated love song. But taken out of context, the lines my brain keeps playing for me fit exactly:

And as I watch you leave I stand
Inside my house of straw
And everywhere I go I find
Things recollecting to my mind
....
Each word it flies
Straight to the heart and I know
Watching you go
There ain't no easy way to cry
