    Well his coat is torn and frayed,
    It's seen much better days.
    Just as long as the guitar plays
    Let it steal your heart away,
    Let it steal your heart away
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    i will light the match this mornin', so i won't be alone
    watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
    i will stand arms outstretched, pretend i'm free to roam
    i will make my way, through, one more day in hell...
    how much difference does it make
    how much difference does it make...
    i will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
    i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
    i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
    hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind
    how much difference does it make
    how much difference does it make..
    how much difference...
    i'll swallow poison, until i grow immune
    i will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
    how much difference
    how much difference
    how much difference does it make
    how much difference does it make...

    Wish you were here...

    Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind
    Other times sunshine high head fine
    In between I get cold, old mean
    Intertwined with country pride open and kind
    This draws a line
    Sorry to coin a phrase
    On either side is wisdom and rage
    So keeping track of time
    Racing with my age
    Sleeping with the snakes
    Forget that you showed up late
    It ain't worth it baby
    A charmed life it is
    At least they tell yo so
    I got a good idea
    It ain't like they say is so
    And if it is then let me go
    Let me go
    Any day there might be hell to pay
    But in other ways
    It makes it seem ok
    I'll tell you what I mean
    It's not a plot nor a scheme
    It's just peace in my mind
    Again can I use the word kind
    I ain't sorry about it baby
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    Just as long as the guitar plays
    Let it steal your heart away,
    Let it steal your heart away

    are these your words?
    i like
    very appropriate for me right now :)

    nope, I wish they were my words... Rolling Stones (though I was listening to the black crowes cover).

    here's my current Crowes tune:

    Diamonds hold mirrors
    And spoon it holds the stars
    It's been a long time baby
    Since i've seen the sun rise like this
    Make a wish and call it maybe
    And give me one more kiss
    Ooh, I like it like this
    Ooh, I like it like this

    Oh josephine
    Youre dressed in black
    Oh josephine
    Your eyes are blue
    And I know now
    There's no turning back
    Oh josephine
    What will we do?

    It's the dreaming through the come down
    Still filling every tape
    Come on and touch me baby
    Before I turn to rust
    I know there ain't no other
    It's not a matter of trust
    It's just sometimes love ain't enough
    Ooh, love ain't enough

    Oh josephine
    Youre dressed in black
    Oh josephine
    Your eyes are blue
    And I know now
    There's no turning back
    Oh josephine

    What will we do?

    For a while I was kneeling in tears and powder
    For as well I was strung out beyond my means
    Well I lost that love while climbing down the ladder
    Just looking for the song to set me free

    Waited for redemption
    No leaving love behind
    You've got to know where you wanna be
    It gets cold outside
    It's too late to play it safe
    So let's let it all ride
    Yeah, let's let it all ride
    Let it all ride!


    Oh josephine
    Youre dressed in black
    Oh josephine
    Your eyes are blue
    And I know now
    There's no turning back
    Oh josephine
    What will we do?
    Yeah

    Oh josephine
    Youre dressed in black
    Oh josephine
    Your eyes are blue
    And I know, I know
    There's no turning back
    Oh josephine
    What will we do?

    we are broken but still breathing
    we are wounded but we are healing




    I'll pick up right where i left off.

    Long may you run,
    Although these changes have come

    Let me run with you tonight
    I'll take you on a moonlight ride
    There's someone I used to see
    But she don't give a damn for me

    But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint
    And turn the radio loud, I'm too alone to be proud
    You don't know how it feels
    You don't know how it feels to be me

    People come, people go
    Some grow young, some grow cold
    I woke up in between
    A memory and a dream

    So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
    Let's head on down the road
    There's somewhere I gotta go
    And you don't know how it feels
    You don't know how it feels to be me

    My old man was born to rock
    He's still tryin' to beat the clock
    Think of me what you will
    I've got a little space to fill

    So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
    And let's head on down the road
    There's somewhere I got to go
    And you don't know how it feels
    You don't know how it feels
    No, you don't know how it feels to be me

    You don't know how it feels
    You don't know how it feels
    No, you don't know how it feels to be me

    Wish you were here...

    Mama told me when I was young
    Come sit beside me, my only son
    And listen closely to what I say
    And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day

    Oh, take your time don't live too fast
    Troubles will come and they will pass
    Go find a woman you'll find love
    And don't forget son there is someone up above

    And be a simple kind of man
    Be something you love and understand
    Baby be a simple kind of man
    Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?

    Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
    All that you need is in your soul
    And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
    All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied

    And be a simple kind of man
    Be something you love and understand
    Baby be a simple kind of man
    Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can? Oh yes, I will

    Boy, don't you worry you'll find yourself
    Follow your heart and nothing else
    And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
    All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied

    And be a simple kind of man
    Be something you love and understand
    Baby be a simple kind of man
    Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?

    Baby be a simple, be a simple man
    Be something you love and understand
    Baby be a simple kind of man

    Wish you were here...

    When the truth is found to be lies
    And all the joy within you dies

    Don't you want somebody to love
    Don't you need somebody to love
    Wouldn't you love somebody to love
    You better find somebody to love

    When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
    And your mind is full of red

    Don't you want somebody to love
    Don't you need somebody to love
    Wouldn't you love somebody to love
    You better find somebody to love

    Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
    But in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is

    Don't you want somebody to love
    Don't you need somebody to love
    Wouldn't you love somebody to love
    You better find somebody to love

    Tears are running ah running down your breast
    And your friends baby they treat you like a guest

    Don't you want somebody to love
    Don't you need somebody to love
    Wouldn't you love somebody to love
    You better find somebody to love

    Somewhere in between

    We went up to the top of the highest hill and stopped
    Still
    It was just so beautiful
    It was just so beautiful
    It was just so beautiful

    This is where the shadows come to play
    'twixt the day
    and night
    Dancing and skipping
    along a chink of light

    Somewhere in between
    the waxing and the waning wave
    somewhere in between
    what the song and silence say
    somewhere in between
    the ticking and the talking clock
    somewhere in a dream between
    sleep and waking up
    somewhere in between
    breathing out and breathing in
    like twilight is neither night nor morning

    I see the world
    Feel the chill
    Which way to go
    Windowsill
    I see the words
    On a rocking horse of time
    I see the birds in the rain

    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll wait up in the dark
    For you to speak to me
    I'll open up
    Release me
    Release me
    Release me
    Release me

    Wish you were here...

    Winter is here again oh Lord,
    Haven't been home in a year or more
    I hope she holds on a little longer
    Sent a letter on a long summer day
    Made of silver, not of clay
    Ooh, I've been runnin' down this dusty road

    Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

    I've been trying to make it home
    Got to make it before too long
    Ooh, I can't take this very much longer, no
    I'm stranded in the sleet and rain
    Don't think I'm ever gonna make it home again
    The mornin' sun is risin'
    It's kissing the day

    Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Whooa... My, my, my, my, my... For tomorrow

    Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Ooh, I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
    Wheel in the sky keeps me yernin'
    Oh, I don't know, I don't know

    Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Ooh, I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Ooh, I don't know, I don't know, I don't knowohoh
    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Don't know where I'll be tomorrow
    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Ohh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

    Wish you were here...

    I'm a living sunset, lightning in my bones
    can push me to the edge, but my will is strong
    cause I believe in a better way

    fools will be fools, and wise will be wise
    but I will look this world straight in the eyes
    I believe in a better way
    I believe there's a better way

    what good is a man, who won't take a stand ?
    what good is a cynic, with no better plans ?
    I believe there's a better way
    I believe in a better way

    I hope these words feel blessed as they rest upon your......
    I hope these words feel blessed as they rest upon your.......
    upon your.....
    upon your.....
    upon your,.....

    Reality is sharp, it cuts at me like a knife
    everyone I know is in the fight of their life
    and I believe there's a better way

    take your face out of your hands and clear your eyes
    your have a right to your dream and don't be denied
    I believe in a better way
    I believe in a better way
    I believe in a better way
    Peace, Love.

    Promenade

    Earth, sky, scenery.
    Is she coming back again?
    Men of straw, snooker hall.
    Words that build or destroy
    Dirt dry, bone, sand and stone.
    Barbed wire fence cut me down.
    I'd like to be around in a spiral staircase
    To the higher ground.

    And I, like a firework, explode.
    Roman candle, lightning, lights up the sky.
    In cracked streets, trample underfoot.
    Side-step, sidewalk.
    I see you stare into space.
    Have I got closer now, behind the face?

    Oh, tell me, Cherry you dance with me
    Turn me around tonight
    Up through the spiral staircase to the higher ground.
    Slide show, seaside town.
    Coca-cola, football radio, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio

    and I keep getting these split-second visions
    in them, there's a smile and a sound
    and I can hardly believe my good luck
    and I can hardly contain my love

    Took this love and I took it down
    Climbed a mountain and I turned around
    And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
    Till the landslide brought me down

    Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
    Can the child within my heart rise above?
    And can I sail through the changing ocean tides
    Can I handle the seasons of my life?
    Oh oh I don't know, oh I don't know

    Well, I've been afraid of changing
    'Cause I've built my life around you
    But time makes you bolder
    Children get older I'm getting older too
    Yes I'm getting older too, so

    I've been afraid of changing
    'Cause I, I've built my life around you
    But time makes you bolder
    Children get older
    I'm getting older too oh yes
    I'm getting older too

    So, take this love, take it down
    Oh if you climb a mountain and you turn around
    If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
    Well the landslide will bring you down, down
    And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

    Well maybe the landslide will bring you down
    Well well, the landslide will bring you down

    Wish you were here...

    So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    and nothing else matters

    Never opened myself this way
    Life is ours, we live it our way
    All these words I don't just say
    and nothing else matters

    Trust I seek and I find in you
    Every day for us something new
    Open mind for a different view
    and nothing else matters

    never cared for what they do
    never cared for what they know
    but I know

    So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    and nothing else matters

    never cared for what they say
    never cared for games they play
    never cared for what they do
    never cared for what they know
    and I know

    So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    No, nothing else matters

    All these years I didn't know those lyrics were so powerful layed out like that. ;)

    The sun shines
    People forget
    The spray flies as the speedboat glides
    People forget
    Forget they're hiding
    The girls smile
    People forget
    The snow packs as the skier tracks
    People forget
    Forget they're hiding.

    Behind an eminence front
    Eminence front - It's a put-on.
    It’s an eminence front
    It’s an eminence front – It’s a put-on
    An eminence front
    Eminence front - put-on
    Eminence front
    It’s an eminence front
    I’ts an eminence front – It’s a put-on
    It’s a put-on
    It’s a put-on
    It’s a put-on

    Come and join the party
    Dress to kill
    Won't you come and join the party
    Dress to kill
    Dress to kill.

    The drinks flow
    People forget
    That big wheel spins, the hair thins
    People forget
    Forget they're hiding
    The news slows
    People forget
    The shares crash, hopes are dashed
    People forget
    Forget they're hiding.

    Behind an eminence front
    An eminence front - it's a put-on
    It is an eminence front
    Eminence front – It’s a put-on
    An eminence front
    An eminence front - put-on
    Eminence front
    It’s an eminence front - it's a put-on
    It’s a put-on
    It’s a put-on
    It’s a put-on

    Come and join the party
    Dress to
    Come and join the party
    Dress to
    Come on join the party
    Dress to
    Come and join the party
    Dress to kill

    Dress yourself to kill.

    I been alone
    All the years
    So many ways to count the tears
    I never change
    I never will
    I’m so afraid the way I feel

    Days when the rain and the sun are gone
    Black as night
    Agony’s torn at my heart too long
    So afraid
    Slip and I fall and I die

    I been alone
    Always down
    No one cared to stay around
    I never change
    I never will
    I’m so afraid the way I feel

    Days when the rain and the sun are gone
    Black as night
    Agony’s torn at my heart too long
    So afraid
    Slip and I fall and I die

    Wish you were here...

    Wait a minute baby,
    Stay with me awhile...
    Said you'd give me light
    But you never told me about the fire.

    Drownin', in the sea of love
    Where everyone would love to drown.
    But now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for.
    So when you build your house, then call me home.

    Oooooooo..
    And it was just like a great dark wind
    Within the wings of a storm.
    I think I had met my match.
    He was singin'
    And undoing and undoing
    Oooooooo, the laces, undoing the laces.

    He said "Sara, you're the poet in my heart,
    Never change, never stop..."
    But now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for,
    But when you build your house, then call me home.

    Hold on, the night is comin'
    And the starling flew for days.
    I'd stay home at night all the time,
    I go anywhere - anywhere - anyway...

    Ask me and I'm there, yeah,
    Ask me and I'm there, 'cause I care.
    In the sea of love, where every woman would love to drown.
    But now it's gone, they say it doesn't matter anymore.
    If you build your house, then please call me home.

    "Sara, you're the poet in my heart,
    Never change, and don’t you ever stop..."
    But now it's gone; no, it doesn't matter anymore.
    When you build your house, I’ll come by.

    Ooooooooo, Sara
    Ahhhhhhh, Oooooooo

    Oh...Oooooooo, Sara, baby
    There was a heartbeat and it never really died,
    Yes it never really died.
    Oh will you swallow your pride?

    All I ever wanted was to know that you were dreaming...


    Wish you were here...

    Heading out this morning into the sun
    Riding on the diamond waves, little darlin' one

    Warm wind caress her
    Her lover it seems
    Oh, Annie
    Dreamboat Annie my little ship of dreams

    Going down the city sidewalk alone in the crowd
    No one knows the lonely one whose head's in the clouds

    Sad faces painted over with those magazine smiles
    Heading out to somewhere won't be back for a while

    Wish you were here...

    There are places I remember
    All my life though some have changed
    Some forever not for better
    Some have gone and some remain
    All these places had their moments
    With lovers and friends I still can recall
    Some are dead and some are living
    In my life I've loved them all

    But of all these friends and lovers
    There is no one compares with you
    And these memories lose their meaning
    When I think of love as something new
    Though I know I'll never lose affection
    For people and things that went before
    I know I'll often stop and think about them
    In my life I love you more

    Though I know I'll never lose affection
    For people and things that went before
    I know I'll often stop and think about them
    In my life I love you more
    In my life I love you more

    Wish you were here...

  • The heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw
    Put your hand on this stone, it's the stone of a home you know
    They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go
    With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon

    They say we can throw far but they don't know how far we throw
    With our legs on the edge, and our feet on the horizon
    The heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw
    They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go

    It can't be gone, we're still right here
    It took so long, can't say we heard it all
    Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
    Tear a moment from the days that carry us on forever

    This push and pull is the force of a wave of time
    In the heat of the night, we would cry, you are not mine
    They said we would go far, but they don't know how far we'd go
    'cause this heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw

    It can't be gone, we're still right here
    It took so long, can't say we saw it all
    Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
    Tear a moment from the days that carry us on forever

    It can't be gone, we're still right here
    It took so long, can't say we felt it all
    Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
    Love's like a pantheon, it carries on forever
    "Ah, life is a gate, a way, a path to Paradise anyway, why not live for fun and joy and love or some sort of girl by a fireside, why not go to your desire and LAUGH..."
