Eeeek! So I have most definitely procrastinated on writing this blog...and now I'm out of time...I fly back to London tomorrow. What can I say? It was lovely to be home and spend priceless time with friends and family. In keeping with the tone of the lyrics posted below, I have picked a few snaps that I took while driving* across the western United States...these scenes from the car reminded me of this song...
Don't change it
See the sun rise over her skin
Dawn changes everything
Everything
And the delta sun
Burns bright and violet
Mississippi and the cotton wool heat
Sixty-six a highway speaks
Of deserts dry
Of cool green valleys
Gold and silver veins
Of the shining cities
In this heartland
In this heartland soil
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heartland
See the sun rise over her skin
She feels like water in my hand
Freeway like a river cuts through this land
Into the side of love
Like a burning spear
And the poison rain
Brings a flood of fear
Through the ghost-ranch hills
Death valley waters
In the towers of steel
Belief goes on and on
In this heartland
In this heartland soil
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heartland
Heartland...heaven's day here in the heartland
Heart...

* I was most definitely riding in the car, not driving while I snapped theses pics!!
