Expecting Rain

"I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
That we could sit simply in that room again."

Many times while thinking of lost friends or family, these lines have often crept back to mind in a peculiar,
beautifully comforting... yet almost hauntingly way.

The air is thick and heavy
All along the levee
Where the geese into the countryside have flown


There was a bright, bright full Moon last night, I noticed the river was very high, there were even some geese, but it was cold and frosty. I'd love some thick, heavy, warm air.

"Freedom- just around the corner for you
but with truth so far off....what good will it do"

"Rifle man stalking the sick and the lame
Preacher man seeks the same
Who'll get there first is uncertain"

"Liberty is just equality in school"

"There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm
Somewheres in the distance there's seven new people born"

'The gravel road is bumpy,
It's a hard road to ride,
But there's a clearer road a-waitin'
With the cinders on the side.'

I know - I'm 12 years old I also have a dog in my lap who insists on licking my fingers as I attempt to type. Life is beautiful, even if I do have a cold. We got 8 inches of snow last night and now we're getting a coating of sleet.

Slap that drummer with a pie that smells!
Take me down to California, bay-bay.

your magnetic movement still captures the minutes i'm in

aaww
In the soft light of morning I'll follow you with my eyes

And the line that got my attention in the first place and got me to really listen to the lyrics
"The sun's not yellow it's chicken"

"So take heed, take heed of the western wind,
Take heed of the stormy weather.
And yes, there's something you can send back to me,
Spanish boots of Spanish leather."

you close your eyes and pout your lips and slip your fingers from your glove
you can have the best there is but its gonna cost ya all your love
you wont get it for moneyyyy

i've changed my mind....

all my loyal and my much loved companions
they aprove of me and share my code
i practice a faith thats been long abandonned
aint no alters on this long and lonesome road

Some of us turn off the lights and we live
In the moonlight shooting by

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.

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

"Beyond the horizon across the divide
'Round about midnight, we'll be on the same side
Down in the valley the water runs cold
Beyond the horizon someone prayed for your soul"

Sailin' round the world in a dirty gondola
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!

Passion rules the arrow that flies.

oh sister when i come to knock on your door
dont turn away dont create sorrow
time is an ocean but it ends at the shore
you may not see me tomorrow

It always amazes me that he wrote that song when he was so young. Only 22 and it's like he was looking back decades to his youth.

A Satisfied Mind
"How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I'd do things my way
Hmm, but little they know
Hmm, it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind."

'all i really wanna dooOOO is baby be friends with you!!'

'take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship'

'feel like my soul has turned into steal'
