Finding out brings nothing that we sought"

~He could do only one thing at a time.
If he touched her, he couldn't talk to her, if he loved her he couldn't leave, if he spoke he couldn't listen, if he fought he couldn't win.
Who was he, the one-armed man? Who could he have been? The God of Loss? The God of Small Things? The God of Goosebumps and Sudden Smiles?

That Moon Song
Written by Gregory Alan Isakov
The tail lights burn red
They were hotter than hell
And I've been long gone couldn’t you tell
The smoke in the air
Couldn’t hide my shame
Saw it lit up on that silver screen
And ah that full bellied moon she’s a shinin' on me
Yeah she pulls on this heart like she pulls on the sea
And you came on strong like some running wave
And your beauty left me broke and hungry
Left me begging to the birds for a bone or an offering
Left me saying nothin', nothin', like I always say
And ahh that full bellied moon she’s a shinin' on me
Yeah she pulls on this heart like she pulls on the sea
And those broken hearted lovers
They got nothing on me
