Song of the Day - Going Going Gone (1974)

"I been walking the road 

I been living on the edge

Now I've just got to go 

Before I get to the ledge

So I am going 

I am just going 

I am gone..."

Song of the Day - China Doll - 1979

Pistol shot at 5 o'clock

The Bells of Heaven Rang

"Tell me what you've done it for"

"No, I wont, tell you a thing..."

Bob Dylan - Don't Think Twice

One of the best songs of all time -

Gravity

Gravity is working against me

And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh I'll never know what makes this man

With all the love that his heart can stand

Dream of ways to throw it all away

Oh, gravity is working against me

And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh twice as much ain't twice as good

And can't sustain like one half could

It's wanting more

That's gonna send me to my knees

Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me

Oh gravity has taken better men than me- how can that be?

Just keep me where the light is

Song of the Day - Mama, You Been On My Mind - Bob Dylan (1969)

"Don't be scared to walk alone

Don't be scared to like it."

-John Mayer

Song of the Day - Detachment - Released in 2015 (Early Amy Gem)

Detachment Lyrics -

I did it, it's finished, it's over and done

Now I wanna sit back, don't wait for the phone.

Like a finger to the strings,

You'd wail if I said these things.

Have to lay awake guilty and watch you sleep

Or would you take me in your arms and weep?

I'm culpable for your scornful ways

And I can still taste better days.

Now maybe it is for the best

But I've lost interest.

I did it, it's finished, it's over and done,

Now I wanna sit back, don't wait for the phone

Like a finger to the strings,

You'd wail if I said these things.

Ooh oh, it changed you.

Song of the Day - Terrapin Station - The Grateful Dead (1977)

Terrapin Station

Words by Robert Hunter, Music by Jerry Garcia

Let my inspiration flow

in token lines suggesting rhythm

that will not forsake me

till my tale is told and done

While the firelight's aglow

strange shadows in the flames will grow

till things we've never seen

will seem familiar

Shadows of a sailor forming

winds both foul and fair all swarm

down in Carlisle he loved a lady

many years ago

Here beside him stands a man 

a soldier by the looks of him

who came through many fights

but lost at love

While the storyteller speaks

a door within the fire creaks

suddenly flies open 

and a girl is standing there

Eyes alight with glowing hair

all that fancy paints as fair

she takes her fan and throws it

in the lion's den

"Which of you to gain me, tell

will risk uncertain pains of Hell?

I will not forgive you

if you will not take the chance"

The sailor gave at least a try

the soldier being much too wise

strategy was his strength

and not disaster

The sailor coming out again

the lady fairly lept at him

that's how it stands today

you decide if he was wise

The storyteller makes no choice

soon you will not hear his voice

his job is to shed light

and not to master

Since the end is never told

we pay the teller off in gold

in hopes he will come back

but he cannot be bought or sold

TERRAPIN STATION

Inspiration, move me brightly

light the song with sense and color,

hold away despair

More than this I will not ask

faced with mysteries dark and vast

statements just seem vain at last

some rise, some fall, some climb

to get to Terrapin

Counting stars by candlelight

all are dim but one is bright:

the spiral light of Venus

rising first and shining best,

From the northwest corner

of a brand-new crescent moon 

crickets and cicadas sing

a rare and different tune

Terrapin Station

in the shadow of the moon

Terrapin Station

and I know we'll be there soon

Terrapin - I can't figure out

Terrapin - if it's an end or the beginning

Terrapin - but the train's got its brakes on

and the whistle is screaming: TERRAPIN

AT A SIDING

While you were gone

these spaces filled with darkness

The obvious was hidden

With nothing to believe in

the compass always points to Terrapin

The sullen wings of fortune beat like rain

You're back in Terrapin for good or ill again

For good or ill again

The Annotated Terrapin Station

"Ten years the waves roll the ships home from the sea,

Thinkin' well how it may blow in all good company,

If I tell another what your own lips told to me,

Let me lay 'neath the roses, till my eyes no longer see."

GRATEFUL DEAD 

written by ROBERT HUNTER

You're Welcome :)

I loved you much,

It's not enough.

For you I was aflame,

Love is a losing game.

It's my responsibility, you don't owe nothing to me,

But to walk away I have no capacity.
