Bonnie Prince Billy: Missing One
I know that missing you
has just begun
thereās years to come
and trying to sleep tonight
next to your kin
is fully lovely
as Iāve ever been
But I wouldnāt trade my life
for someoneās millions
and I know you left
for a reason
and the trees and flowers
and creeks and rocks
hold your face
with every season
I know I will contine
to try and please you
and even in some ways
to try and be you
but also my fulfillment
will be to do what I do
as you taught me to
I know that missing you
has just begun
love me family
and just sleep to all of us
You need a heart of stone not to be taken apart by this!
Bob Dylan - All along the watchtower.
Exiles by King Crimson
Now, in this faraway land
Strange, that the palms of my hands
Should be damp with expectancy
Spring, and the airās turning mildā¦
āOh You Delicate Heartā by Hawksley Workman;
āAnd Im sure the darkness defines where the light isā
Absolutely classic track by the Canadian maestro,you should check him out,but be warned,extensive back catalogue!
Good point. Iām definitely in a maudlin mood tonight so here are a few off the top of my head, so what are your favourite āmaudlinā songs?
Elvis Costello - Alison
Eva Cassidy - Autumn Leaves
Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind
Tom Waits - Downtown Train
The Verve - The Drugs Donāt Work
Al Green - How Can You Mend A Broken Heart
Dolly Parton - I Will Always Love You
Aimee Mann: āLost In Spaceā & āMental Illnessā
āMama Youāve Been On My Mindā-Bob Dylan
Maybe itās the color of the sun cut flat
Anā coverinā the crossroads Iām standing at
Or maybe itās the weather or something like that
But mama, you are just on my mind.
I donāt mean trouble, please donāt put me down or get upset
I am not pleadinā or sayinā, I canāt forget
I do not walk the floor bowed down anā bent, but yet
Mama, you are just on my mind.
Even though my mind is hazy anā my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been donāt bother me nor bring me down in sorrow
It donāt even matter to me where youāre wakinā up tomorrow
But mama, youāre just on my mind
When you wake up in the morninā, baby, look inside your mirror
You know I wonāt be next to you, you know I wonāt be near
Iād just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind
Maybe itās the color of the sun cut flat
Anā coverinā the crossroads Iām standing at
Or maybe itās the weather or something like that
But mama, you are just on my mind
Mama, you are just on my mind
Prompted by the Ric Ocasek RIP thread, Iām adding:
The Cars - Drive
For me, itās always been this, when it plays, I always think about my wife:
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
Iāll make you so sure about it
God only knows
What Iād be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows
What Iād be without you
God only knows
What Iād be without you
Bomber - Motorhead
