nzoner 936 Posted July 25, 2013 The older I get the more I love this song Long Gone Long Older than I used to be, younger than I'm gonna beFewer things puzzle me than when I was youngBut when my pace is falling slackI catch myself thinking backa certain night, a certain summerLong gone longAugust she was swinging lowTown of about a thousand-soOut of school, ready to get out of hereOff to farm, off to State, each going our separate waysGraduation message still sweet in our earsOh oh oh, clocks are slowHearts beat onLong gone longGot into a car that nightDrove out past the signal lightPast the city limits, guess it wasn't that farStopped out on a rural routeGooch got out his .22Shooting at a freight train that was hauling new carsDrinking underneath the starsWatching counting meteorsRobert said you know those fell a hundred years agoThe light is just now reaching earthI said man for what it's worthI think you are wrong and you really don't knowCHORUSIs something going on, I tell you nothing's going onNothing's going on, going on, going onIs something going on, I tell you nothing's going onNothing's going on, going on Goodbye to the home team, goodbye to the rinky-dinksGoodbye to a girl, down my street heading homeShe stepped out from behind a tree, tears running down her cheeksGoodbye to more than either of us could have known Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bishop82 61 Posted July 25, 2013 My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, Dad You know I'm gonna be like you" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home, Dad I don't know when, but we'll get together then You know we'll have a good time then My son turned ten just the other day He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok And he walked away but his smile never dimmed And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like him" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home, Dad I don't know when, but we'll get together then You know we'll have a good time then Well, he came from college just the other day So much like a man I just had to say "Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while" He shook his head and said with a smile "What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys See you later, can I have them please" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad You know we'll have a good time then I've long since retired, my son's moved away I called him up just the other day I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind" He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad It's been sure nice talking to you" And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me He'd grown up just like me My boy was just like me And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon When you comin' home son I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad We're gonna have a good time then 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 540 Posted July 25, 2013 A few 90's rock songs that had some lyrics that really make me think. She keeps a lock of hair in a locket, she wears a cross around her neck. Yeah, the hair is from a little boy, and the cross is someone she has not met..not yet… *She Talks to Angles- Black Crowes The scars are souvenirs you never lose......the past is never far. Did you lose yourself somewhere out there...did you get to be a star? And don't it make you sad to know that life....is more than who we are? * Name- Goo Goo Dolls But the girl in the parking lot, says 'Man you should try to take a shot, can't you see my walls are crumbling?' Then she looks up at the building, says she's thinking of jumping. She says she's tired of life, she must be tired of something. *Round Here- Counting Crows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These mills they built the tanks and bombs That won this country's wars We sent our sons to Korea and Vietnam Now we're wondering what they were dyin' for Here in Youngstown Here in Youngstown My sweet Jenny I'm sinkin' down Here darlin' in Youngstown From the Monongahela valley To the Mesabi iron range To the coal mines of Appalachia The story's always the same Seven hundred tons of metal a day Now sir you tell me the world's changed Once I made you rich enough Rich enough to forget my name And Youngstown And Youngstown My sweet Jenny I'm sinkin' down Here darlin' in Youngstown When I die I don't want no part of heaven I would not do heaven's work well I pray the devil comes and takes me To stand in the fiery furnaces of hell Bruce Springsteen - Youngstown We said we'd walk together baby come what may That come the twilight should we lose our way If as we're walking a hand should slip free I'll wait for you And should I fall behind Wait for me We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side We'd help each other stay in stride But each lover's steps fall so differently But I'll wait for you And if I should fall behind Wait for me Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true But you and I know what this world can do So let's make our steps clear that the other may see And I'll wait for you If I should fall behind Wait for me Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees I'll wait for you And should I fall behind Wait for me Darlin' I'll wait for you Should I fall behind Wait for me Bruce Springsteen - If I Should Fall Behind As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin manI have chalked up many a mile Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks And I learned much from both of their styles Jimmy Buffett - Son of a Sailor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The song is about a woman's struggle with drug addiction. Chris Robinson mentioned that on VH1 Storytellers. Although he didn't go into a line by line detail. In my mind, the strand of hair is from a child that she lost, that may have began her drug addiction. The cross represents Jesus, who she knows she will be meeting soon because of her addiction.

Yes Gordon lightfoot wrote other songs. Many good ones. Pick up a greatest hits, you won't be disappointed. 2. Good call on the scientist OM.

JT 137 Posted July 25, 2013 When I was awaiting transplant I randomly heard this song. Remembered Colin Hay from Men At Work, but that's about it. Summed up my anxious wait, and relating that to a partner who really didn't understand what I was going through. Post transplant I saw an episode of SCRUBS where the song was featured. The episode was about a young woman waiting for but ultimately dying before receiving a lung transplant. One of the more surreal moments in a life filled with the same. The only song I've ever attempoted to perform in front of people that I couldn't get through. Waiting For My Real Life to Begin/Colin Hay Any minute now my ship is coming inI'll keep checking the horizonAnd I'll stand on the bowAnd feel the waves come crashingCome crashing down, down, down on meAnd you said,"Be still, my loveOpen up your heartLet the light shine in"Don't you understand?I already have a planI'm waiting for my real life to beginWhen I awoke today, suddenly, nothing happenedBut in my dreams I slew the dragonAnd down this beaten pathAnd up this cobbled laneI'm walking in my own footsteps once againAnd you say,"Just be here nowForget about the pastYour mask is wearing thin"Let me throw one more diceI know that I can winI'm waiting for my real life to beginAny minute now my ship is coming inI'll keep checking the horizonAnd I'll check my machineThere's sure to be that callIt's gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soonIt's just that times are leanAnd you say,"Be still, my loveOpen up your heartLet the light shine in"Don't you understand?I already have a planI'm waiting for my real life to begin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thornton Melon 544 Posted July 25, 2013 Good-bye Max. Good-bye Ma. After the service when you're walking slowly to the car And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air You hear the tolling bell And touch the silk in your lapel And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band You take her frail hand And hold on to the dream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 540 Posted July 25, 2013 The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument And his song is in my soul My life has been a poor attempt To imitate the man I'm just a living legacy To the leader of the band Dan Fogelberg. Always brings a tear to my eye thinking of my Dad. As a guy like me, sentimental about your father, this song might move you..... MY FATHER"S CHAIR by Rick Springfield My father's chair's still standing there All alone since the long night Now it's three years on and I still feel He'll come home, we'll be alright So where's this healing time brings I was told the pain would ease But it still hurts like the first night That night my brother, my mother and I Were looking up at a distant star And wishing we could reach that far And back in the house And alone for the first time We told each other we cared We avoided my father's chair I watch my family, we hold on We are strong and we'll be alright The clock continues counting down, All the while And every child will share the long night But do the spirits meet again Why am I still so filled with doubt Is my soul everlasting And the far distant future When I knew you'd be gone Came too fast and stays too long Why do they leave the weak of spirit And take the strong But wherein the world turns sour And I get sick from the smell And I can't find no comfort there I climb into my father's chair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cross represents Jesus, who she knows she will be meeting soon because of her addiction. The drug addiction part is well known and I had that part. How about the hair is from a child that she gave up to adoption and the cross is from her birth mother because she was given up too. She has not met her birth mother yet.

Snippets from a couple more of my favorites; He Went to Paris Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady And left him with only one eye His body was battered, his whole world was shattered And all he could do was just cry While the tears were a-fallin he was recallin Answers he never found So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean And left england without a sound Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilins And drinks his green label each day Writing his memoirs, losin his hearin But he don't care what most people say Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion If he likes you hell smile and hell say Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic But I had a good life all the way And as the father of two daughters - Little Miss Magic I see a little more of me everyday I catch a little more moustache turning gray Your mother is the only other woman for me Little miss magic, what you gonna be? Sometimes I catch her dreamin and wonder where that little mind meanders Is she strollin along the shore or cruisin oer the broad savannah I know someday shell learn to make up her own rhymes Someday she's gonna learn how to fly Oh that I wont deny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will you? Will you now? Would you die for me? Don't you fuckin' lie. Don't you step out of line. Don't you fuckin' lie. You've claimed all this time that you would die for me.
