Lyrical Response

[muppy]

… Kissing like a bandit stealing time
Underneath the sycamore tree
Cupid by the hour sends valentines
To my sweet lover and me

 

… Slowly but surely
Your appetite is more than I knew
Sweetly, softly
I'm falling in love with you

 

… Wish me love a wishing well, to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me love a wishing well, to kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers, sing

[cwater10]

Stars shining bright above you

Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"

Birds singing in the sycamore tree

Dream a little dream of me

Say "nighty-night" and kiss me

Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me

While I'm alone and blue as can be

Dream a little dream of me

[WhoTom]

Throughout the night
When there's no direct light
And a thin veil of clouds
Keeps the stars out of sight
I can smell the colors
Outside on my lawn
The moist green organic
That my feet tread upon

[cwater10]

How long have I been sleeping?
How long have I been drifting alone through the night?
How long have I been running for that morning flight?
Through the whispered promises and the changing light
Of the bed where we both lie
Late for the sky

[muppy]

Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I don't know about anyone, but me
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave

 

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
Look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes, I see them running too

[PastaJoe]

Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to

It's a sin

[Bill from NYC]

When you put your arms around me
I feel so satisfied
I want to love you forever
I just can't, I can't decide

 

Every time I move I lose
When I look I'm in
And every time I turn around
I'm back in love again
Right back, right back
In love again (Alright)
Seems like, seems like
Back in love again

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Ev'ry time we say goodbye
I die a little
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little

Why the Gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go

When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it

[muppy]

Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

[WhoTom]

Said, woman, take it slow and things will be just fine
You and I just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time 'cause the lights are shinin' bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, I'll never break it, 'cause I can't take it

[cwater10]

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
Ah, the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Oh, pride and competition
Cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us, you know it doesn't keep me warm

[DD4Bills]

Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah

[WhoTom]

Well, you wake up in the mornin'
You hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table
You see the same old thing
Ain't no food upon the table
And no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy
You get in trouble with the man

Story. Once my cousin, ten his friends, and I went to see a movie. The theater was in an old abandoned mall that basically only had a bar and movie theater left. We got there an hour early. The bar had a band playing, so I went to watch them while they went to the arcade. Turns out, that it was open mic night. I'd just started learning to play the guitar, and was eager to play even though I only knew a few chords.

 

So my cousin walks into the bar to tell me that the movie is starting. He walks past the stage three times, before realizing I was up on stage, playing/singing Midnight Special with the band.

 

Okay. Back to lyrics.

 

 

Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
And your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me

Now, the mist across the window hides the lines
But nothing hides the color of the lights that shine
Electricity so fine
Look and dry your eyes

 

We are tired of all the darkness in our lives
With no more angry words to say can come alive
Get into a car and drive to the other side
Into the night, into the light

 

We are young but getting old before our time
We'll leave the TV and the radio behind
Don't you wonder what we'll find
Steppin' out tonight?

[PastaJoe]

Take the highway to the end of the night
End of the night, end of the night
Take a journey to the bright midnight
End of the night, end of the night

 

[Bill from NYC]

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see

How happy life could be if all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind

Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Center of the mind

[muppy]

I would dial the numbers
Just to listen to your breath
And I would stand inside my hell
And hold the hand of death
You don't know how far I'd go
To ease this precious ache
And you don't know how much I'd give
Or how much I can take

Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Oh, to reach you
Oh

 

Come to my window
Crawl inside
Wait by the light of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon

[cwater10]

Waking light, it grew from the shadow
Brace yourself to the morning low
Night is gone, long way turning
You've waited long enough to know

 

When the memory leaves you
Somewhere you can't make it home
When the morning comes to meet you
Lay me down in waking light

[muppy]

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
