The rain it started tappin' On the window near my bed There was a loophole in my dreamin' So I got out of it And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open Just my nightstand and my dresser Where those nightmares had just been So I dressed myself and left then Out into the gray streets But everything seemed different And completely new to me The sky the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body And each person I encountered I couldn't wait to meet And I came upon a doctor Who appeared in quite poor health I said there's nothing I can do for you that you can't do for yourself He said o

Let the night air cool you off Tilt your head back and try to cough Don't say nothing 'bout the things you never saw Let the night air cool you off I ain't living like I should A little rest might do me good Got to sinking in the place where I once stood Now I ain't living like I should Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold Maybe I can only hear it in my head Fifteen years ago we owned that road now it's rolling over us instead Richard Manuel is dead God forbid you call their bluff Like the nightmares ain't enough Remember when we used to think that we were tough? God forbid you

Early one mornin' the sun was shinin', I was layin' in bed Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all If her hair was still red. Her folks they said our lives together Sure was gonna be rough They never did like Mama's homemade dress Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough. And I was standin' on the side of the road Rain fallin' on my shoes Heading out for the East Coast Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through, Tangled up in blue. She was married when we first met Soon to be divorced I helped her out of a jam, I guess, But I used a little too much force. We drove that car as far as we could Abandone

Every night I just wanna go out, get out of my head Every day I don

When you wake up Feelin' old At this piano filled with souls Some strange purse Stuffed nervous with gold Can you be where you want to be? Walk down any street You can find Look at any clock telling time Sing some strange verse From some strange song of vines And you'll be where you want to be I know I can't sing Until she brings the song to life And I blend with kings I'd never change a thing Who knows anything I don't know There are so many things I must leave alone Some strange person is calling you their home Can you be where you want to be? Can you be Where you want to be? Can you

Oh the night... here it comes again It's on with the jeans, the jacket and shirt How'd I end up feeing so bad For such a little girl And I hold you close in the back of my mind Feels so good but damn it makes me hurt And I'm too scared to know how I feel about you now Las cienega just smiled... "see ya around" And I hold you close in the back of my mind And raise my glass 'cause either way I'm dead Neither of you really help me to sleep anymore One breaks my body and the other breaks my soul La cienega just smiles as it waves goodbye Oh the night... here it comes again It's

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in And stops my mind from wandering Where it will go I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door And kept my mind from wandering Where it will go And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right Where I belong I'm right Where I belong See the people standing there who disagree and never win And wonder why they don't get in my door I'm painting my room in a colourful way And when my mind is wandering There I will go And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right Where I belong I'm right Where I belong Silly people run around, they w

Thanks for posting the pics. Not surprisingly, it looks like it was a great evening!

When you try your best but you don't succeed When you get what you want but not what you need When you feel so tired but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone but it goes to waste could it be worse? Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones And I will try to fix you High up above or down below when you're too in love to let it go but if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Tears strea

Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode. Driftin' off a thing i'd never done before Watchin' a crowd roll in, out go the lights it begins. A feelin' in my bones i never felt before... People always told me, that bars are dark and lonely And talk is often cheap and filled with air. Sure sometimes they thrill me But nothin' could ever chill me. Like the way they make the time just disappear. Feelin' you're here again, hot on my skin again. Feelin good a thing i'd never known before What does it mean to feel? Millions of dreams come real A feelin' in my soul i'd never felt before..

Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the child's balloon Eclipses both the sun and moon To understand you know too soon There is no sense in trying. Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn Suicide remarks are torn From the fool's gold mouthpiece The hollow horn plays wasted words Proves to warn That he not busy being born Is busy dying. Temptation's page flies out the door You follow, find yourself at war Watch waterfalls of pity roar You feel to moan but unlike before You discover That you'd just be One more person crying. So don't fear if you h

Just started:

Half a mile from the county fair And the rain keep pourin' down Me and Billy standin' there With a silver half a crown Hands are full of a fishin' rod And the tackle on our backs We just stood there gettin' wet With our backs against the fence Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Hope it don't rain all day And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me Then the rain let up and the sun came up And we were gettin' dry Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by So we jumped right in

Far, far away From those city lights That might be shining on you tonight Far, far away from you On the dark side of the moon I long to hold you in my arms and sway Kiss and ride on the CTA I need to see you tonight And those bright lights Oh, I know it's right Deep in my heart I'll know it's right By the bed, by the light that you read by By the time that I get home to say good night I need to see you again On the dark side my friend On the dark side

Every day in every way I'm falling Everything that everyone says turns me on Shine a light on me So that everyone can see That I wanna stay here Indefinitely Time exists just on your wrists so don't panic Moments last and lifetimes are lost in a day So wind your watches down please 'Cause there is no time to lose And I wanna stay here Indefinitely And I'm gonna stay here So just let me be I can see the light Circling round your reflection And I wanna stay here Indefinitely And I'm gonna stay here So just let me be Indefinitely

Fill up your mind with all it can know Don't forget that your body will let it all go Fill up your mind with all it can know What would we be without wishful thinking Chambers of chains With red plastic mouths The inside of outside No one has found How to unring the bell It's just as well The turntable sizzles Casting the spells The pressure devices Hell in a nutshell Is any song worth singing If it doesn't help Fill up your mind with all it can know Don't forget that your body can let it all go Fill up your mind with all it can know 'Cause what would love be without wishful thinking O

This is the first day of my life I swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed They're spreading blankets on the beach Yours is the first face that I saw I think I was blind before I met you Now I don

I got nothing You got something I feel out of place Looking through your window Into the delicate place Reflections stating obvious mating holds I'll own up to you if you own up to me I'll picture for you if you picture for me Have you got the answer Have I yet won the part Is this just your way of breaking my heart Everyone denies it but they just want to be told I'll hold it for you if you hold it for me I'll picture for you if you picture for me The delicate place The questions it raise The delicate place I got nothing You got something I feel out of place Looking through that windo

I want to run I want to hide I want to tear down the walls That hold me inside I want to reach out And touch the flame Where the streets have no name I want to feel sunlight on my face I see the dust cloud disappear Without a trace I want to take shelter from the poison rain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name We're still building Then burning down love Burning down love And when I go there I go there with you It's all I can do The city's aflood And our love turns to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind Trampled in dust I'll sho

There's something about you That reminds me of all those times When I wasn't sorry, when I wasn't blue The cherry moon it shone down on us Under the stars shining down every one for you If I could count them all I would circle the moon And count 'em back to nothing Till I got to you Something in you dies, when it's over Everybody cries sometimes If loving you's a dream That's not worth having Then why do I dream of you? I used to be the house that you lived in Down on Meadowlake Street When you moved they cut down the maple tree I carved your name into The tree became a boat, I christened

well you sure didn't look like you were having any fun with that heavy-metal gaze they'll have to measure in tons and when you look up at the sky all you see are zeros all you see are zeros and ones you took my hand and led me down to watch a kewpie doll parade we let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade it's not that I just didn't care I must admit I was afraid and I'm awfully glad my finger's resting gently on the masterfade the masterfade I coulda played along the masterfade I coulda played Mah Jongg but it just takes too long and I just can't remember which way the e

Thanks, Tim. ---------------------------------------- you fell down of course and then you got up of course and started over forgot my name of course then you started to remember pretty tough to think about the beginning of december pretty tough to think about pretty tough to think about yeah yeah pretty tough to think about you're looking down again and then you look me over we're laying down again on a blanket in the clover the same boy you've always known well I guess I haven't grown the same boy you've always known same boy you've always known think of what the past did it could've l

And so it is Just like you said it would be Life goes easy on me Most of the time And so it is The shorter story No love, no glory No hero in her sky I can't take my eyes off of you I can't take my eyes off you I can't take my eyes off of you I can't take my eyes off you I can't take my eyes off you I can't take my eyes... And so it is Just like you said it should be We'll both forget the breeze Most of the time And so it is The colder water The blower's daughter The pupil in denial I can't take my eyes off of you I can't take my eyes off you I can't take my eyes off of you I can't take
