A Sign in His Eyes?

I sit and watch the rain,
And see my tears run down the windowpane...
I sit and watch the sky.
And I can hear it breathe a sign...


Okay... so IF you go to any lyric site for the lyrics of the musical Jekyll and Hyde, those words will be the first lines of an incredibly beautiful duet called "In His Eyes." Being ever-so-slightly anal, that's what I did. And I was surprised. Surprised I say, because for months after getting the cd (and seeing The Boy in the show,) I heard the words of the second line as:

I sit and watch the sky.
And I can hear it breathe a sigh...


I've decided I like my way better, damnit.

How do you breathe a sign?

I hate it when you merrily sing the words the way they SHOULD be and then find out they are something entirely different.

I agree, your way is definitely better. It not only rhymes better, it actually makes sense.

Don't be dissing Bowie.

I certainly intended to try to post daily, EB. Seems it's not my strength. I'll be happy to give the blogging duties back to Suzanne and go back to keeping her undies nice and fresh. :)
