The sky was on fire when I walked to the mill
To take up the slack in the line
I thought of my friends and the troubles they've had
To keep me from thinking of mine

Sometimes I wonder where you are
Sometimes I wonder how you stand the dark
There is a time for every seed
Once there were two now there are three
Wrestle your heart pinned to the ground
Is there enough love to go 'round
I wrote this song for the bounty of life
Don't second guess what Nature has in mind
Sometimes I wonder who you are
Sometimes I wonder... and I just say "yeah"

...
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget...

Owner of a lonely heart

The Ace of Spaaaaaades!  The Ace of Spaaaaades!

It's true.

Razor deep, and razor cut
Hold my eyes and keep them shut
Born of beauty, I forsake
Rest upon a weary lake
The masts they are high
But a crew we are not

I heard a song last night that had a lyric that really hit me but I forgot to take note of who the artist was (male).  He sang: " You will be gone then I will be gone".  Can anyone help me with that?  Thanks.  

You keep it up, you try so hard
To keep a life from coming apart
Never know what breaches and faults are concealed
In the shape of a heart

Bright light, almost blinding
Black night, still there shining
I can't stop, keep on climbing
Looking for what I knew

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Stage Fright

The Band

Now Deep In The Heart Of A Lonely Kid
Who Suffered So Much For What He Did,
They Gave This Ploughboy His Fortune And Fame,
Since That Day He Ain't Been The Same.
See The Man With The Stage Fright
Just Standin' Up There To Give It All His Might.
And He Got Caught In The Spotlight,
But When We Get To The End
He Wants To Start All Over Again.
I've Got Fire Water Right On My Breath
And The Doctor Warned Me I Might Catch A Death.
Said, You Can Make It In Your Disguise,
Just Never Show The Fear That's In Your Eyes.
See The Man With The Stage Fright,
Just Standin' Up There To Give It All His Might.
He Got Caught In The Spotlight,
But When We Get To The End
He Wants To Start All Over Again.
Now If He Says That He's Afraid,
Take Him At His Word.
And For The Price That The Poor Boy Has Paid,
He Gets To Sing Just Like A Bird, Oh, Ooh Ooh Ooh.
Your Brow Is Sweatin' And Your Mouth Gets Dry,
Fancy People Go Driftin' By.
The Moment Of Truth Is Right At Hand,
Just One More Nightmare You Can Stand.
See The Man With The Stage Fright
Just Standin' Up There To Give It All His Might.
And He Got Caught In The Spotlight,
But When We Get To The End
He Wants To Start All Over Again, Hmm Hmm,
You Wanna Try It Once Again, Hmm Hmm,
Please Don't Make Him Stop, Hmm Hmm,
Let Him Take It From The Top, Hmm Hmm,
Let Him Start All Over Again.

”i only ask because i’m a real c*nt in spring” from Liz Phair’s “Dance of the seven veils”

stuck and striking a cord...

You know the bartenders all know my name
And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame
And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head
When I should be living clean instead...

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces, singing
Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

We're all given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass
And the book of rules.

days are long,
but the years are lightning
we all think we have the time, 
until we don't
