This is what I'm hearing for lyrics - if anyone has corrections, please help... I'll be posting a tab I'm working on as soon as I get around to finishing it... I've figured out the full song, it's just a matter of tabbing it.

I'm editing it based on words I can hear and agree with.

What were all those dreams we shared those many years ago,
What were all those plans we made, now left beside the road.
Behind us in the road.

More than friends, I always pledge, ‘cuz friends they come and go,
People change as does everything, I wanted to grow old,
I just want to grow old.

Slide on next to me,
I’m just a human being,
I will take the blame, but just the same, this is not me, you see, believe, I’m better than this – don’t leave
me so close,
I’m buried beneath the stones,
I just want to hold on and know I’m worth your love, and I, don’t think, there’s such a thing.

It’s my fault now, I've been caught, a sickness in my bones.
How do you think it is to leave you here with the kids on your own,
Just don’t let me go.

Help me see myself,
‘Cuz I can no longer tell,
Looking up from inside of the bottom of a well, it’s Hell, I yell, but no one hears before, I disappear, whisper in my ear.
Give me something to echo in my unknown future, you see, my dear, the end, comes near, I’m here, but not much longer.

    is it room or road? Also, I hear slide "up" next to me.....not slide "on"

    Such a sad song but so beautifully written. I hope these lyrics are not based on true events. :?

    ????

    One was played on national TV and the Debut of the new "Tonight Show" at that, the other is being played at Ed's solo gigs. Im pretty sure the Band had an inkling that they would get heard. The target song I will give you that it was probably not meant to be heard, especially that crappy recording but why again are we feeling sorry?

    the song makes me very sad because it makes me think of ed's own mortality. but, it's so melodious and beautiful.

    Here's what I'm making of Unthought Known..

    all the thoughts you never see
    you're always thinking
    ?
    oh how you sinking
    fill the path of every day
    oh, which road you taking
    breathing hard and making haste
    yeah, this is living
    look for love and remember this
    that you're worth keeping
    swallow hope and negatives
    oh so sad and sickening
    feel the air, up above
    oh, full of blue skies
    feel the air, up above
    oh black as starlight
    feel the sky, black as you
    ?
    see the path, cut by the moon
    for you to walk on
    foe you to walk on
    nothing there, nothing there
    nothing there, nothing there
    nothing there, nothing there
    nothing there, nothing there
    nothing left, nothing left
    nothing left, nothing left
    oh, nothing left

    see the path cut by the moon
    for you to walk on
    see the waves on distant shores
    awaiting your arrival
    a distant time, a distant place
    that's where we're living
    a distant time a distant place
    so what you giving

    so what you giving

    dream the dreams of other men
    and you'll be no ones rival
    dream the dreams of others then
    you'll be no ones rival
    you'll be no ones rival



    Can anyone fill in the ?

    here's my take....

    What were all those plans we made, many years ago?
    What were all those things we shared, now left beside the road?
    Behind us in the road...

    More than friends I'd always pledged 'cause friends they come and go...
    People change is the [ ??? ], I wanted to grow old...
    I just want to grow old...

    Slide on next to me...
    I'm just a human being...
    I will take the blame,
    [ ??? ],
    This is not me.
    You see...
    Believe...
    I'm better than this..

    Don't leave me so cold...
    I'm buried beneath the stone...
    I just want to hold on [ ??? ]
    [ ??? ]
    [ ??? ]

    It's my fault now I've been caught...
    A sickness in my bones...
    How it means to meet you here...
    [ ??? ]
    Just don't let it go...

    Hell, I see my cell...
    'Cause I can no longer tell...
    Lookin' out from inside the bottom of a well...
    It's hell...
    I yell...
    But no one hears...

    Before I disappear...
    Whisper in my ear...
    Give me something...
    Echo in my unknown future [ ??? ]
    My dear...
    The end comes near...

    I'm here,
    But not much longer...
    A child's rhyme stuck in my head...
    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."
    I've spent so many years in question
    To find I'd known this all along.
