How Do I Get You Alone

As I was looking at this truck, and evaluating the direction of light, trying to decide how to capture the beauty I saw, I could not get the song "How do I Get You Alone" by Heart, out of my head.

I have always seen the restoration of these vehicles as a labour of love. Some one really has to care, in order to bring these old vehicles back to their previous glory. It is, from what I understand, a difficult, and often expensive task. It is also one that requires long hours, often working alone to achieve the final goal.

So as part of the submission, I offer you the first lines of the song from Heart that inspired me on this day. At times when I hear the words, I feel like it is the truck singing them, at other times, the lover who comes to restore. You decide for yourself.


How Do I Get You Alone

I hear the ticking of the clock
I’m lying here the rooms pitch dark

I wonder where you are tonight
no answer on the telephone
and the night goes by so very slow
I hope that it won’t end though...
alone.

Till now I’ve always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
and now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone.

Heart.
