ramblings

At times like these we turn to the poets and those who philosophize with their pens to try and shed some light
On confusion. This is the strangest life we've ever known, and life is carnival , believe it or not. We truly are
Living and dying in 3/4 time on the long and winding road. We've all been going down the road feeling bad at one time or another
And feeling as though we're on the road to nowhere. I only saw what they let me see , and the Lord only lets us know what he wants
Us to know and comprehend…….it is up to us to keep that faith that there is a better world when you get to the end of the way.

I don't know what happens when people die, can't seem to grasp it no matter how I try,
Like a song playing right in my ear…I can't hear it…can't help listening. (J Brown)

Another man done gone, another man done gone, another man done gone,
down on the county farm….another man done gone…..(Jorma trad)

we're going down that long and lonesome road babe, we're I'm bound…I can't tell
….but goodbye Is too sad a word babe, so I'll just day fare thee well………….( Bob)

spent a little time on the mountain, I spent a little time on the hill…..
things went down we don't understand, but I guess in time we will….(Hunter/Garcia)

What's won is won, and what’s done is done
And What's lost is lost and won't be back forever. (trad Eire)

If you never heard him sing, I guess you wont too soon….cause people let me tell ya,
It sent a chill up and down my spine, when I picked up the telephone, and heard that
He died….out on the mainline. ( N Young)

Standing on the moon, with nothing better to do.
A lovely view of heaven, but I'd rather be with you (Hunter/Garcia)

And at times like these we learn to live again, and at times like these we learn to give again.
And it's times like these , time and time again. (Grohl)

I seen a lot of people, and it's true
The Good…they die young.
I just look around and they're gone.(Dion)

I don't know where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is passed and gone
This little boy is moving on

Sitting here in limbo
waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo
knowing that I have to go
Well they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on ( Plummer/Bright …..Jerry)

What are they doing in heaven today
Hate and sadness have all gone away
Peace it flows like a river they say,
What are they doing there now (Jorma)

Everyone is trying, to get to the Bar.
The name of the Bar is called Heaven
The Band in Heaven plays my Favorite Song.
They play it once again…they play it all night long
Heaven is place…a place where nothing….nothing ever happens ( D Byrne)

It's such a long , long time to be gone….and a short time to be there. (Hunter/Lesh)

the great Mr Waits......lyrics of the day

The piano has been drinking
my necktie is asleep
and the combo went back to New York
the jukebox has to take a leak
and the carpet needs a haircut
and the spotlight looks like a prison break
cause the telephone's out of cigarettes
and the balcony's on the make
and the piano has been drinking
the piano has been drinking...
and the menus are all freezing
and the lightman's blind in one eye
and he can't see out of the other
and the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid
and he showed up with his mother
and the piano has been drinking
the piano has been drinking
cause the bouncer is a Sumo wrestler
cream puff casper milk toast
and the owner is a mental midget with the I.Q. of a fencepost
cause the piano has been drinking
the piano has been drinking...
and you can't find your waitress with a Geiger counter
And she hates you and your friends , and you just can't get served without her
and the box-office is drooling and the bar stools are on fire
and the newspapers were fooling
and the ash-trays have retired
the piano has been drinking
the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking
not me, not me, not me, not me, not me
