Can’t Cry Hard Enough

I'm gonna live my life
like every day's the last
without a simple goodbye
it all goes by so fast

and now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
I can't cry hard enough
for you to hear me now

gonna open my eyes
and see for the first time
I've let go of you like
a child letting go of his kite

There it goes up in the sky
there it goes beyond the clouds
for no reason why
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough for you to hear me now

gonna look back in vain and see you standing there
when all that remains is just an empty chair
and now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough, I can't cry hard enough
for you to hear me now

There it goes, up in the sky
there it goes beyond the clouds
for no reason why
I can't cry hard enough, no I can't cry hard enough
for you to hear me now

-- Lyrics and Music by David Williams and Marvin Etzioni, 1990

[POSTSCRIPT 8:46 pm: At about nine-thirty this morning, from my location just west of the White House, I heard what sounded like several cannon shots going off. CNN then came out with a breaking story, which was later translated thus by a local alert to my cell phone: "Activity on the Potomac involving the U.S. Coast Guard is confirmed to be a training exercise." And such a lovely day for one, right? Meanwhile, John Hawkins of Right Wing News muses on the day: "Turning 9/11 into a 'day of service' dishonors the dead. Somebody killed 3000 Americans! Forget it and go plant a tree." After all, isn't it the thought that counts?]
