Burning Bridges
The Mike Curb Congregation
Friends all tried to warn me
But I held my head up high
All the time they warned me
But I only passed them by
They all tried to tell me
But I guess I didn’t care
I turned my back and
Left them standing there
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Joey tried to help me find a job
A while ago
When I finally got it I didn’t want to go
The party Mary gave for me
When I just walked away
Now there’s nothing left for me to say
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Years have passed and I keep thinking
What a fool I’ve been
I look back into the past and
Think of way back then
I know that I lost everything I thought I that could win
I guess I should have listened to my friends
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Everyone’s Gone to the Moon
Jonathan King
Streets full of people, all alone
Roads full of houses, never home
Church full of singing, out of tune
Everyone’s gone to the moon
Eyes full of sorrow, never wet
Hands full of money, all in debt
Sun coming out in the middle of June
Everyone’s gone to the moon
Long time ago
Life had begun
Everyone went to the sun
Cars full of motors, painted green
Mouths full of chocolate-covered cream
Arms that can only lift a spoon
Everyone’s gone to the moon
Everyone’s gone to the moon
Everyone’s gone to the moon
Arizona 10 Seahawks 27
Everything the Seahawks weren’t last Sunday in a surprising home loss to the New Orleans Saints they were this Sunday in beating the Arizona Cardinals, 27-10.
A week after falling behind 7-0 before most people had even turned on the TV, the Seahawks for once started fast — leading at the end of the first quarter and halftime for the first time this season in building a 20-3 lead at the break.
A week after basically giving the Saints two touchdowns, the Seahawks were efficient no turnovers for the game and no penalties during a first half in which they took control.
And a week after gaining 515 yards but having little to show for it, they were opportunistic, with a pick-six by defensive end Jadeveon Clowney in the first quarter giving the Seahawks an early cushion they would never relinquish, and then scoring offensively on all four drives that got inside the Arizona 20.
When it was over, coach Pete Carroll said the Seahawks had laid the template for the kind of team they can be this season — and will need to be in order to have the kind of season they want. “I felt this was really a complete game for us,’’ Carroll said after Seattle improved to 3-1 with its first victory this season by more than two points and that didn’t come down to the final series.
What Carroll liked as much as anything was a 15-play, 75-yard drive that lasted 8:08 in the fourth quarter — Seattle’s longest drive this year in both plays and time — that gave the Seahawks a final touchdown with 2:13 left after Arizona had scored its only touchdown of the day. A key play on the drive came when quarterback Russell Wilson evaded pressure on a third-and-two play to toss it to Luke Willson, the popular tight end from 2013-17 who returned last week to replace the traded Nick Vannett.
Willson fought through an illegal contact penalty from Arizona’s Jordan Hicks (which would have given Seattle a first down regardless) to make a diving grab for a 17-yard gain and move the ball to the Arizona 37.
The Seahawks made such quick work of the Cardinals they were able to watch the end of the Rams-Tampa Bay game on televisions in the locker room as they did interviews.
When the Bucs sewed up the game on Ndamukong Suh’s fumble return — which assured that the Rams and Seahawks will each be 3-1 when the two play Thursday at CenturyLink Field — the locker room erupted.
And a week after the Seahawks wondered where things were headed, they could suddenly look happily toward a battle with major NFC West implications — a most-familiar feeling, indeed.
“We did a lot of hard work this week just to make sure that we were precise throughout the whole week and come game day,’’ Wilson said of how the team rebounded from the defeat against the Saints. “We took that challenge on and we were ready to roll.’’
