♫ - Coats, ♫ - Abby, ♫ - Coats & Abby
Oh, goodness, another pairing I need to make a list for! Let me see here ...
Okay, for the two of them, no doubts about it: “If I lose myself” by OneRepublic.
I woke up with the sun
Thought of all of the people, places, and things I've loved
I woke up just to see
With all of the faces, you were the one next to me
Also, “Angel with a Shotgun” by The Cab.
I'm an angel with a shotgun
Fighting til' the wars won
I don't care if heaven won't take me back
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe
Don't you know you're everything I have?
(I'm an angel with a shotgun)
And I, want to live, not just survive, tonight
(Live, not just survive)
For Coats: “I Will Be There” by Glass Tiger. He strikes me as a man driven by duty, to protect. I think that’s part of why he and Abby get along so well - that tradition of serving, of protecting.
A fight for king or country
Can liven any heart
To sleep beneath the open skies
A love affair can start
Echoes in the valley
As embers cross red skiesI'm calling from the mountains
Echoes of no replyI will be there
Oh, when you call my name
I will be there
Oh, if you call my name
I will be there
For Abby: “I Am A Rock” by Simon and Garfunkel. Unfortunately, because of their family history, both Abby and Ashley have this song as theirs:
I am a rock
I am an island
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock
I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
