February 4, 20196 yr I keep a close watch on this heart of mine , I keep my eyes wide open all the time Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. Make me an angel that flies from Montgom'ry , make me a poster of an old rodeo Eighteen-hundred miles from this old nightclub, a girl is turning 22 today Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel, and the storm's brewing in this heart of mine Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe Something in the way she moves attracts me like no other lover I may not always love you But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it

February 4, 20196 yr It's knowing that your door is always open / And your path is free to walk / That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag / Rolled up and stashed behind your couch Please come to Boston for the springtime / Staying here with some friends and they've got lots of room / You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk / By a cafe where I hope to be working soon / Please come to Boston, she said no / Will you come home to me?

February 5, 20196 yr In a place you only dream of Where your soul is always free Silver stages, golden curtains Filled my head, plain as can be As a rainbow grew around the sun All my stars of love who died Came from somewhere beyond the scene you see These lovely people played just for me Now if I let you see this place Where stories all ring true Will you let me past your face To see what's really you It's not for me I ask these questions As though I were a king For you have to love, believe and feel Before the burst of tambourines take you there Green grass and high tides forever Castles of stone souls and glory Lost faces say we adore you As kings and queens bow and play for you

What a drag it is getting old.. First thing I thought of was - How young are you, how old am I? Let's count the rings around my eyes. There was a great spot on Bullseye where Craig Finn from The Hold Steady talks about that as one of his favorite songs, and his first experience with it. I bought that album at a record store in Baltimore while I was on tour with my band and trying to work my way through 80s alternative rock bands (while reading Our Band Could Be Your Life). I had gotten to the Replacements chapter. Popped it in on the way to... wherever was next and it was just about right. Another good one that's not all time best, but grabbed me and perfect for the moment I was in - 2 months sober and I heard - I've seen Jesus play with flames in a lake of fire I was standing in
