Thanks Lefty, but I have never been away, check the board very regular and have been appreciating and enjoying the set lists being posted by various people, thanks to all concerned, just hope that Lucinda can see her way to a return to the UK before she calls an end to this tour.

but you don’t know where to put your hand.
Let me tell you where you stand.
You didn’t even make me Come On!!”Lu
Early one morning the sun was shining
I was laying in bed
Wonderin if she changed at all
If her hair was still red..“Tangled up in Blue” by the Master..Mr. Dylan
And beleive it or not ..Lu’s song
“Are you alright?”
Are you sleeping thru the night?
Do you have someone to hold you tight?
Do you have someone to hang out with?
Do you have someone to hug and kiss you
Hug and kiss you, hug and kiss you
Are you alright?(sigh)
“Ooh baby, that’s hard to change, I can’t tell them how to feel; some get stoned, some get strange, sooner or later it all gets real, walk on.”
– Neil YoungAnd I’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’,
But I’ll know my song well before I start singin’,
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard,
It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall.
– – BobWhen you run your hand
All up and run it back down my leg
Get excited and bite my neck
Get me all worked up like that
– she just says it like it is, I really like that
about her.I’m a sucker for happy endings
– Melissa ManchesterI cant find the joy within my soul
It’s just sadness takin hold
I wanna come in from the cold
And make myself renewed again
It takes strength to live this way
The same old madness every day
I wanna kick these blues away
I wanna learn to live again…
– “Dark Road”raven, feathers shiney and black
a touch of blue, glistening down her back

looking for some truth
dancing with no shoes
the beat, the rythm, the blues
….
she was gonna buy dresses that zip up the side
and wear red lipstick, have a nice car to drive
….
baby I remember all the things we did
when we slept together and the blue behind your eyelids
….
I just want to live the life I please
I don’t want no enemies
I don’t want nothin if I have to fake it
….
once I was in your blood and you were obsessed with me
you wanted to paint my picture, you wanted to undress me
….
you’re a bad pain in my gut, I want to spit you out
…
surround my heartbeat with your fingertips
unbound my feet, untie my wrists
I long for knowledge, whisper in my ear
undo my logic, undo my fear
….

In spite of ourselves
We’ll end up sittin’ on a Rainbow
Against all odds, honey we’re the big door prize
We’re gonna spite our noses right off of our faces
There won’t be nuthin’ but big ol’ hearts dancin’ in our eyesJohn Prine and Lucinda Williams; Thank You!!!
I wanna watch the ocean bend, the edges of the sun in
I wanna get swallowed up, in the ocean of loveAdmittedly, Lucinda’s voice on this really burns it into my heart.

Then take me disappearin’ through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.Van Morrison
» Wonderful RemarkHow can you stand the silence
That pervades when we all cry?
How can you watch the violence
That erupts before your eyes?
How can you tell us something
Just to keep us hangin’ on?
Something that just don’t mean nothing
When we see it you are gone
Clinging to some other rainbow
While we’re standing, waiting in the cold
Telling us the same old story
Knowing time is growing old.
That was a Wonderful Remark
I had my eyes closed in the dark
I sighed a million sighs
I told a million lies – to myself – to myselfArtist: Shaver Billy Joe

On a rainy,windy morning that’s the day that i was born on

Ain’t no need in y’all a treatin’ me this wayHey this is a great thread. Not only an I learning what you all like, I’m reading great lyrics of artists that I’ve never heard of !
This is from my childhood…
Take a gun and shoot your friend,
As long as you take your turn..
When you’re only six years old,
You own the world – You got friends to burn..
If you wanna be an Indian Chief,
Or a sheriff; Respect you’ve got to earn.By Brian Cadd about 1972
You probably couldn’t write that these days without being banned, or sued, but it’s about innocence, anyone remember innocence ?
