Amelia's missing

I can't find Crazy Horse, can't find Hoffa
And Amelia's missing somewhere out at sea
And I hope they're happy, havin' a party
And Elvis is servin' them up green apple martini's

I can't find my watch
I can't find my wallet
So how in the hell am I supposed to find

The one that I love
The one that I need
Hidden so high
buried so deep

Well, I found odd jobs and I found reasons
For all kinds of ways I can waste my time
And I found lovers and I found leavers
And I found new ways just to tell old lies

I can't find my watch
I can't find my wallet
So how in the hell am I supposed to find
The one that I love
The one that I need
Hidden so high
Burried so deep

Somewhere to run
Somewhere to go
And if I ever find her,
How will i know?

'Cause can't find Crazy Horse, can't find Hoffa
And Amelia's missing somewhere out at sea

One of the things that i love most about starting to listen to a new artist is this: Usually you start listening to someone new because you like one of their songs. Based on one song, i can usually trust myself to determine whether or not i will like the rest of someone's music. So i buy their CD. i listen to the song that i like over and over and over, and then...learning to love the rest is a gradual process. It doesn't happen all at once, and usually i start liking another song that I had never heard before spontaneously. I don't plan to listen to the rest of the album...I sort of just let the songs find me when I'm ready for them. I was driving home this past weekend, and i heard this song. And it struck me how perfectly it fits where i am right now. I had been listening to this artist for a while...but this song crept up on me. It isn't meant to be a depressing or bittersweet song. At least that's what I think...it's just honest. And i think that's what struck me most about it. I think it explains my fear well. Most of the time i struggle with just figuring out which way is up. I get frazzled, and stressed, and confused....there are a million and one things I don't understand about life...and love especially. And realizing that gives me a little bit of a jolt. How am i supposed to figure out who to spend my life with and where to find them, If i can't even figure out how to set a timer on my coffee maker, and I'm constantly locking my keys in my car? It's sort of amusing actually...We are so turned around. We don't know anything. God gets to have a lot of chuckles at our expense. But it's just part of being human. There are so many things that we can't explain, and the minute we think we have it all figured out, we don't. When we think things are going smoothly, they probably aren't. And that's ok. God always has another plan, and no matter how lost we are...the truth is, He is going to help us out. That has to be the answer.
