Ideally Bob Dylan lyric but anything goes
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home
What song is this? It reminded me of 'when you leave that way you can never come back'. You should give that a go, the ollie austin version is my preferred take.
Edit: oooooh thats ripple
My 'favorites' change daily, so here's today's: That's the Way That the World Goes Round -John Prine
I know a guy that's got a lot to lose. He's a pretty nice fellow but he's kind of confused. He's got muscles in his head that ain't never been used. Thinks he own half of this town.
Starts drinking heavy, gets a big red nose. Beats his old lady with a rubber hose, Then he takes her out to dinner and buys her new clothes. That's the way that the world goes 'round.
That's the way that the world goes 'round. You're up one day and the next you're down. It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown. That's the way that the world goes 'round.
I was sitting in the bathtub counting my toes, When the radiator broke, water all froze. I got stuck in the ice without my clothes, Naked as the eyes of a clown. I was crying ice cubes hoping I'd croak, When the sun come through the window, the ice all broke. I stood up and laughed thought it was a joke That's the way that the world goes 'round.
He looked beneath his shirt today
There was a wound in his flesh so deep and wide
From the wound a lovely flower grew
From somewhere deep inside
He turned around to face his mother
To show her the wound in his breast that burned like a brand
But the sword that cut him open
Was the sword in his mother's hand
The Lazarus Heart - Sting
NIN Hurt - " I hurt myself today To see if I still feel, I Focus on the pain The only thing that's real..."
Not Dylan, but my top:
"Gotta kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight"
Bruce Cockburn
Whiskey woman, don't you know that you are driving me insane? Liquor you give stems your will to live, it gets right to my brain You're trying to find your way through life You're trying to get some new direction Another woman's got a man But she won't get a new connection
Takes another drink or two Things look better when she's through
Take another look around, you're not going anywhere You realise you're getting old and no one seems to care You're trying to find your way again You're trying to get some love Another woman's got a man But she won't get a new
Takes another drink or two Things look better when she's through
You been fooling with some hot guy I want to know why is it why Get up, get out You know you really blew it I've had enough I've had enough Good God, pluck me
Once she was beautiful Once she was fine Once she was wonderful Once she was mine Change has come over her body She doesn't see me anymore Change has come over her body She doesn't see me anymore
Changes Changes Changes Changes
