Song of the Week

(hopefully Ana and mines song oneday)

#40

Table's turned again

and you my friend,

you and I face each other

oh time in and time out.

I know it's sometimes hard

but knowing just - oh,

that we will get along

'til we're old and gray

and doubled up

and doubled up, we'll sit...

and laugh of times when hard

laugh of times,

when we thought...

Oh - it would end, it all was over

but then again...

I know that I'm your rich rain

and to leave you out, well I'd die

Oh my friend

It will be you until the end with me

...always

always...

- Dave Matthews

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven. When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for. Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west, And my spirit is crying for leaving. In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees, And the voices of those who standing looking. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason. And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, It's just a spring clean for the May queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on. And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know, The piper's calling you to join him, Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold. And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll.

The Stone -Dave Matthews Band

I've this creeping

Suspicion that things are not

as they seem

Reassure me

Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep

I've been praying

For some way to show them

I'm not what they see

Yes I have done wrong

But what I did I thought

needed be done

I swear

Unholy day

If I leave now I might get away

This weighs on me

As heavy as stone and as blue as I go

I was just wondering if

you'd come along

To hold up my head when my head

won't hold on

I'll do the same if the same's

what you want

If not I'll go

I will go alone

I'm a long way

From that fool's mistake and

now forever pay

No, run

I will run and I'll be ok

I was just wondering if

you'd come along

To hold up my head when my head

won't hold on

I'll do the same if the same's

what you want

If not I'll go

I will go alone

I need so

To stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close

And it weighs on me

As heavy as stone and

a bone chilling cold

I was just wondering if

you'd come along

Tell me you will

(This next song is called "little thing" and it's by the great Dave Matthews. Recently I met this one customer at Blockbuster, a very attractive young woman who just gave me the impression from the first word she said that I should get to know her. It wasn't that she was a supermodel or anything I just felt a connection with her or a yearning to gain one. Little Thing is about meeting a stranger and wondering if that could have been your soul mate only if you would have jumped on the opportunity. Do you ever wonder if someone you meet only for an instant could be a great love that never got born?)

Little Thing - Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds

"So, um, so we've been doing this, uh, this tour, what I guess this is our

fifth show we've done, Tim and I, and, uh... (applause) And, uh, so this little

song has been growing out, uh, while we've been playing, sort of a little

story. And the little story I was in New York City and, uh, I was walking down

the street. Trying to find the place I was going (I can't remember where I was

going now). 'Cause I met this girl and I asked her directions, you know. And

she was, she was tiny, you know. She, she wasn't young, she was just tiny. And,

uh, so I asked her directions and she said, 'Oh that's the way down there, walk

over there, go down there, you walk over there, and you go down there and then

you're there.' Something like that, anyway. So, uh, but I walked about ten

paces away and I was thinking... Daaamn, that girl was fine. And, oh, I turned

around to tell her so, and ask her maybe her name, or maybe if we should go and

get a cup of, who knows, coffee or something. And I'm sure if I turned around

and find

her there I would have found out something...

But she talked so good

But when I turned around, she was gone

Oh, she was gone

I didn't even get her name, oh

I thought, goddamn

With your face in my mind

And your voice in my ears

To echoes

Oh, I bought a lovely flower

Standing there, we met that day

And hope that you would return

But, no, no, no

I can't remember where I was going

But I can't remember where I was leading to

Or what led me to you, but

Oh, and the weight is all through my head

The look of you, the sound

The way you cackled at me

From then and then, I didn't know where I was going

But always I cry

And so, hey, oh

The hands that pour my hands on you again

Hey, I will beg you, I'll beg, oh

See me, please find me again

Oh, I'm lost again

I sit here drinking coffee

Or water depending the time of day

But, oh, you're with me like a ghost of a mother

Oh, you're with me like the pain of a father

Oh, I wish I, I wish I could call you something

Other than the girl that I saw then

But, hey, I think that I would recognize you in a second

But, hey, I only saw you for a minute, maybe less

I don't hold my hand where

But I waited, honest

I'm lost now, I'm lost now

I can't remember what I used to be

But, oh, hey, yeah, weighted by the memory of

The memory of a love that never got born, but hey

Oh, hey

Do I even cross your mind lately

With more than just a laughing

Did you think as you walked away, maybe

You were, hey

Oh, I hope you did

So, hey, yeah

You would, you would have been feeling

The same thing as I am know

(I love this song, even though I'm not depressed like the song is I once was and this song has a lot of personal meaning to me so if you can find somewhere to download it you'd enjoy it.)

Save Me From Myself - Gregg Alexander

I wake up in the morning--Just like yesterday--I don't know why I look out the window--And see people living...Life has passes me by A vacant playground brings back young memories while driving by I grab my umbrella--God sold my rainbow to the cloudy sky Well who am I to make you so depressed? You squeeze my hand--Then hold them to your breast And I feel lonely--I'm calling out for help Come save me.... from myself I was dreaming of people--with sad looks upon their faces--Daggers in their backs When I heard the train comin'--I had to stand up fast--For I was sleeping on the tracks Another day of walking thru the fields with peach vodka all day stoned I call up your house--and hear you cryingin the background-- But they say you're not home Well, who am I to make you so depressed? You squeeze my hands--Then hold them to your breasts And I feel lonely--I'm calling out for help Come save me...from myself
