Jealous Kind
I get into iTunes playlist circuits,
sometimes forgetting other songs that I have.
I rediscovered some Jars of Clay tonight.
This was good because it reminded me of some thought pathways that used to feel familiar.
It also made me think of this post - especially the wind part.
There are so many good ideas that I cannot internalize, incorporate, and integrate fast enough. And then remember...

Jealous Kind
from Who we are Instead
Jars of Clay
I built another temple to a stranger
I gave away my heart to the rushing wind
I set my course to run right into danger
I sought the company of fools instead of friends
Chorus:
you know I've been unfaithful
with lovers in lines
while you're turning over tables
with the rage of a jealous kind
I chose the gallows to the aisle
thought that love would never find
hanging ropes will never keep you
and your love of a jealous kind
love of a jealous kind
tryin' to jump away from rock that keeps on spreading
for solace in the shift of the sinking sand
I'd rather feel the pain all too familiar
than be broken by a lover I don't understand
'cause I don't understand
[CHORUS]
love of a jealous kind, yeah
love of a jealous kind
love of a jealous kind
one hundred other lovers, more, one hundred other altars
if I should slow my pace and finally subject me to grace
and love that shames the wise
betrays the hearts deceit and lies
and breaks the back of foolish pride
[CHORUS]
love of a jealous kind, yeah
love of a jealous kind
love of a jealous kind
