there is a danger in loving somebody to much
and its hard when you know its your heart you can`t trust
There is a reason why people don`t who they are
Sometimes love just ain`t enough. lol

[Wandrin]

"All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer by the stars" Rush, The Pass

[along-for-the-ride]

From Elton John's "Your Song":

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Bernie Taupin is quite the lyricist.

For me, it's Jim Steinman. He has a decent claim on being the best lyricist in the last 50 years.

I'll be your Dixie chicken
You be my Tennessee lamb
And we will walk together
Down in Dixie land

Crash into me
Crash into me
Crash into me
Crash into me

For my Dad.... Midnight Summers Dream... the Stranglers

Woke up on a good day
And the world was wonderful
A midnight summer dream had me in its spell

I dreamt about an old man
Sat and watched the rain all night
He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell

He told me of the beauty
Hidden in our foreheads
He told me of the ugliness
We show instead

And when we put a foot wrong do we learn
From all the pain
A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain

Then at midnight he poured another drink
And bent my ear
After midnight we sat up half the night
Or maybe more
And he began to tell me what it was all for

I woke up in an armchair
He had gone I don't know where
Left me there to sit and look at the rain

Don't remember much at all
But his words were echoing
A midnight summer dream and then wake again

Maybe I'll never find him
Maybe he's gone forever
Maybe I'll have to sit here
Watching the weather

One thing's pretty certain helped me
Make it in the night
Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right

And at midnight if you can't sleep
Then I can bend your ear
After midnight we'll sit up half the night
Or maybe more
And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for

Wake up on a good day
And the world feels wonderful
Midnight summer dream has me in its spell

Nice one, Theia and Betty !!! I like Sound of Silence too, and I am a Rock. Simon and Garfunkel were great. Paul Simon on his own.. Slip Sliding Away, and Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover.... wow...

Do you get songs stuck in your head. I have continual earworms. One doesn't leave until displaced by the next... sigh.

Great minds think alike!!! Fakin' It was the story of my life in 1967. That summer, I took a Greyhound Bus from Southern California to Oregon to escape my parents and hang out with my grandparents for awhile. I sat next to this mysterious, beautiful, to good to be true girl for most of the trip. I debated going with her instead of on to Portland, but didn't. I'm older now, but Fakin' It still reminds me not to be a turd, because occasionally a sweet fragrance blows through your life, even if only briefly, that cannot be unnoticed.

Paul Simon on his own . . . . . Does anyone think he can ever top Graceland?
