Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

Good Morning, Ariana

Posted September 7, 2001 5:05pm ET

Good morning, Ariana
It’s been a while
I’ve seen you in the morning
Every night
I know it’s not about forever
When we’ll never be together
But Ariana, at least your picture
Can light these lonely days

Through the tired eyes
And broken dreams that make up
All my life
Through the haunted thoughts
That shadow every hour
When I’m lost in life’s worst moments
When I’m left without a word
You prove to me there’s still beauty
In this world

So, Ariana
Keep on shining in my room
Let me pretend you even
Know my name

Good morning, Ariana
It’s been so long
I’ve seen you in the papers
On TV
I know tomorrow may be lonely
And your arms will never hold me
But Ariana, at least your picture
Can light these lonely days

Through the frustrated shards
Of broken glass that shield you
From my world
And the tearstained visions
That occupy my nights
When I’m reeling from the hatred
And when I’m dying to be heard
You prove to me there’s still beauty
In this world

So, Ariana
Keep on shining in my room
Let me pretend you even
Know my name

Let me pretend you even
Know my name

Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.
