The superb talent that is Fee Waybill and..
Come fly with me
What are you waiting for
Come fly with me
Don’t waste a minute more
I’ll give you my prime time
I’m saving my prime time for you
Give you my prime time

For no one else but you
Come closer dear
That’s all you have to do

I’m saving my prime time for you
Give you my prime time
I’m saving my prime time for you
Don’t be shy
I would never hurt you
I have had my eye on you
for such a long, long time
You know I’m always here
if you should need me
If you want a drink or two
I’m the one you should see
Go anywhere
Still you can call on me
And I’ll be there
Just say the word and see
I’ll give you my prime time
I’m saving my prime time for you
Give you my prime time

How sweet it is to be loved by youI needed the shelter of someone’s arms, and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs, and there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you babyHow sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by youI close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I’d been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you babyHow sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by youYou were better to me than I was to myself
For me, there’s you and there ain’t nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you babyHow sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you4 October, 2008 at 10:45 am #139945Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel thats turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mindLike a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mindKeys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
You were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the colour of her hairLike a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind4 October, 2008 at 5:27 pm #139946One of the saddest, most beautiful songs ever written..
She takes the back road and the lane
Past the school that has not changed
In all this time
She thinks of when the boy was young
All the battles she had won
Just to give him lifeThat man
She loved that man
For all his life
And now we meet to take him flowers
And only God knows whyFor what’s the use in pressing palms
When children fade in mother’s arms
It’s a cruel world
We’ve so much to lose
And what we have to learn
We rarely chooseSo if it’s God who took her son
He cannot be the one living in her mindTake care my love she said
Don’t think that God is dead
Take care my love she said
You have been lovedIf I was weak forgive me
But I was terrified
You brushed my eyes with angels wings
Full of love
The kind that makes devils crySo these days
My life has changed
And I’ll be fine
But she just sits and counts the hours
Searching for her crimeSo what’s the use in pressing palms
If you won’t keep such love from harm
It’s a cruel world
You’ve so much to proveAnd heaven help the ones
Who wait for youWell I’ve no daughters I’ve no sons
Guess I’m the only one
Living in my lifeTake care my love he said
Don’t think that God is dead
Take care my love he said
You have been loved6 October, 2008 at 5:39 pm #139947Dont be afraid to be weak
Dont be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
.
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself dont hide
Just believe in destiny
.
Dont care what people say
Just follow your own way
Dont give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
.
Thats not the beginning of the end
Thats the return to yourself
The return to innocence7 October, 2008 at 12:01 am #139948///

what a good year for the roses..
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lyin cold the way you left em, but at least your lips caressed them while
You packed
Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didnt drink
But at least you thought you wanted it, thats so much more than I can say
For meWhat a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin
Funny I dont even care
As you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I have to say
Its been a good year for the rosesAfter three full years of marriage, its the first time that you havent
Made the bed
I guess the reason were not talkin, theres so little left to say we
Havent said
While a million thoughts go racin through my mind, I find I havent said a word
>from the bedroom the familiar sound of a babys cryin goes unheardWhat a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin
Funny I dont even care
As you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I have to say
Its been a good year for the roses7 October, 2008 at 2:58 pm #139950“Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream” she said
“The one that makes me laugh” she said
And threw her arms around my neck
“Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I’ll run away with you
I’ll run away with you”Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
“Why are you so far away?” she said
“Why won’t you ever know that I’m in love with you
That I’m in love with you”You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You’re just like a dreamDaylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of meYou
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heavenJust Like Heaven – The Cure 8)
12 October, 2008 at 3:32 pm #139951So this is where he came to hide
When he ran from you
In a private detective overcoat
And dirty dead man’s shoesThe pretty things of Knightsbridge
Lying for a minister of state
Are a far cry from the nod and wink
Here at traitor’s gate‘Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down
And he listens to the footsteps that would follow him aroundTo murder my love is a crime
But will you still love
A man out of timeThere’s a tuppeny hapenny millionaire
Looking for a fourpenny one
With a tight grip on the short hairs
Of the public imaginationBut for his private wife and kids somehow
Real life becomes a rumour
Days of dutch courage
Just three French letters
And a German sense of humourHe’s got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge
He stands to be insulted and he pays for the privilegeTo murder my love is a crime
But will you still love
A man out of timeThe biggest wheels of industry
Retire sharp and short
And the after dinner overtures
Are nothing but an after thought
Somebody’s creeping in the kitchen
There’s a reputation to be made
Whose nerves are always on a knife’s edge
Who’s up late polishing the bladeLove is always scarpering or cowering or fawning
You drink yourself insensitive and hate yourself in the morningTo murder my love is a crime
But will you still love
A man out of timeWill you still love
A man out of timeWill you still love
A man out of time -
