When Will You Realise?

I've always loved this song. I'm too sleepy to pull together my thoughts tonight, and this song keeps popping up on me this week.
It has been a long one. I've got lists of ideas to write about, but they'll wait. Oh, kind of like Vienna waits. I like the idea of something truly fresh and inspirational, a city like Vienna even, waiting for me to catch up. I'd be a good guest of Vienna.


Vienna Lyrics

Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me why
You are still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you an just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Too bad but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself
That you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong

But you know you can't always see when you're right
You got your passion you got your pride
But don't you know only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook
And disappeaar for a while
It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you.

I think this is my favorite line with the music:

you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old

I'd really like to get what I want, for once, above and beyond what I need. I don't think that's selfish, do you? It may finally be my turn. We'll see. If not, the journey has been remarkable and unforgettable anyway.
