lyrics- sunsetz

Sun sets, I want to hear your voice
A love that nobody could destroy
Took photographs like Brautigan's
Book covers that we both adored

And when you go away, I still see you
The sunlight on your face in my rearview
This always happens to me this way
Recurring visions of such sweet days

And when you go away, I still see you
The sunlight on your face in my rearview
When you go away, I still see you
The sunlight on your face in my rearview


I really like the chorus.. when you go away i still see u.. the sunlight on your face in my rear view...

Once in a lifetime love- Alan Jackson

Some people have it and some people don't
Some people never will
And sometimes it's hard to know when you've got it
Sometimes it's perfectly clear

Well, I know it's out there, I've seen it happen
I know the way it should feel
'Cause there's no mistakin' that good kind of achin'
Of a once in a lifetime love

Once in a lifetime love
A love like we've all dreamed of
It may go disguised right before your eyes
A once in a lifetime love

So if you think you've got it
If you feel it inside you, don't let it slip away
You may not ever find what you never
Thought you'd have anyway

And if you've always had it and just realized it
You know how lucky you are
To wake up beside what some never find
A once in a lifetime love

Once in a lifetime love
A love like we've all dreamed of
It may go disguised right before your eyes
A once in a lifetime love

It may go disguised right before you eyes
A once in a lifetime love

The wedding song - bob dylan

I love you more than ever, more than time and more than love
I love you more than money and more than the stars above
Love you more than madness, more than waves upon the sea
Love you more than life itself, you mean that much to me

Ever since you walked right in, the circle’s been complete
I’ve said goodbye to haunted rooms and faces in the street
To the courtyard of the jester which is hidden from the sun
I love you more than ever and I haven’t yet begun

You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live
When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
Dried the tears up from my dreams and pulled me from the hole
Quenched my thirst and satisfied the burning in my soul

You gave me babies one, two, three, what is more, you saved my life
Eye for eye and tooth for tooth, your love cuts like a knife
My thoughts of you don’t ever rest, they’d kill me if I lie
I’d sacrifice the world for you and watch my senses die

The tune that is yours and mine to play upon this earth
We’ll play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth
What’s lost is lost, we can’t regain what went down in the flood
But happiness to me is you and I love you more than blood

It’s never been my duty to remake the world at large
Nor is it my intention to sound a battle charge
’Cause I love you more than all of that with a love that doesn’t bend
And if there is eternity I’d love you there again

Oh, can’t you see that you were born to stand by my side
And I was born to be with you, you were born to be my bride
You’re the other half of what I am, you’re the missing piece
And I love you more than ever with that love that doesn’t cease

You turn the tide on me each day and teach my eyes to see
Just bein’ next to you is a natural thing for me
And I could never let you go, no matter what goes on
‘Cause I love you more than ever now that the past is gone

The lyrics to this song are beautiful, so full of love. But we all know how well this love ended.... Is love mostly a moment of
folly?

Of words and notes

It fascinates me how different music appeals to different people. How a piece of music can have the power to put you in a certain mood. Mood for a jiggy, mood for melancholia, romance, etc. sometimes just a few words from a song get to me. And sometimes it could be just a few notes. It's also strange that there will be songs that you wouldn't have given the time of day but then started loving for no apparent reasons. It could be that as our experiences in life change/ accumulate, certain songs start speaking to us. Sometimes a song has the power to bring back memories, both good and bad. It can also remind us of a certain someone, not necessarily the romantic kind.
Anyway, some strung words that I've been liking:
"Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore",
"I know it looks like I'm moving but I'm standing still"
"All you have to do is touch my hand to show me you understand"
"Looking at the world over the rim of his tea-cup"
"We were too young to understand to ever know that lovers drift apart and that's the way love goes"
"I give her my heart but she wanted my soul"
"You won't remember when this is blown over"
"What a friend we have in Jesus" (the version from Jeff black's where my dreams come true; very clever way of "plagiarizing")
"When the evening shatters and the stars appear"( some versions have it as when the evening shadows but I personally feel shatters has a nice ring to it)

Will add on to this list when I have the time.

Jokerman

Weirdest lyrics
But I like these phrases

Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space

Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face

False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin

Manipulator of crowds, you’re a dream twister

Jokerman
Standing on the waters casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
Freedom just around the corner for you
But with the truth so far off, what good will it do?

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman

So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don’t show one
Shedding off one more layer of skin
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman

You’re a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds
Manipulator of crowds, you’re a dream twister
You’re going to Sodom and Gomorrah
But what do you care? Ain’t nobody there would want to marry your sister
Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame
You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman

Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed
Michelangelo indeed could’ve carved out your features
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman

Well, the rifleman’s stalking the sick and the lame
Preacherman seeks the same, who’ll get there first is uncertain
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin
Only a matter of time ’til night comes steppin’ in

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman

It’s a shadowy world, skies are slippery grey
A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
He’ll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat
Take the motherless children off the street
And place them at the feet of a harlot
Oh, Jokerman, you know what he wants
Oh, Jokerman, you don’t show any response

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman

Not dark yet

Quite love the lyrics to this song especially the last two paragraphs-...I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies.....

And yes it's another Dylan song:

Shadows are falling and I’ve been here all day
It’s too hot to sleep, time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I’ve still got the scars that the sun didn’t heal
There’s not even room enough to be anywhere
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there

Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there’s been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writing what was in her mind
I just don’t see why I should even care
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there

Well, I’ve been to London and I’ve been to gay Paree
I’ve followed the river and I got to the sea

I’ve been down on the bottom of a world full of lies
I ain’t looking for nothing in anyone’s eyes
Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there

I was born here and I’ll die here against my will
I know it looks like I’m moving, but I’m standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don’t even hear a murmur of a prayer
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there


He couldn't have said it better with this picture though...

Bob Dylan

"I give her my heart but she wanted my soul"

Great lyricist... Pity bout the voice.

Thought the lyrics to "Dont think twice, it's alright" were really good. You find disappointment, sarcasm, love, anger, a bit of wanting to go but not wanting to at the same time- quite a range of emotions there in a 3-min song. My favorite cover of the song is by Peter, Paul, and Mary.

Another song of his that I love is Make You Feel My Love. The lyrics are incredibly touching - "When the evening shatters, and the stars appear, And there is no one there, To dry your tears.
I could hold you, For a million years, To make you feel my love." Although Dont Think Twice It's Alright is not a love song, I actually thought it is quite romantic too. Behind all that angst lies a romantic.
