To express lonliness -

"There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb."

Wow, it sounds even more bleak reading it

To Express Joy -

"Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl i loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven"

Can't believe that girl married me to this day

Just plain wonder at the world -

"And its something quite peculiar,
Something thats shimmering and white.
Leads you here despite your destination,
Under the milky way tonight
(chorus)
Under the milky way tonight"

Makes me think of the painting "Starry Night" by Van Gogh, and standing on that hill at night in Provence
I wanna sleep on the hard ground

In the comfort of your arms

On a pillow of bluebonnets,

In a blanket full of stars
