'the dying is easy, it's the living that's pain'.

[asomewhatsadcaptain]

Now I'm just walkin' down that track, I got tears in my eyes

Tryna read this letter from my home

Yeah, and if this train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night

I'm 900 miles from my home

Hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow

[bloodrainbow]

I saw a dream last night like a falling star And the sources of light seemed so near and yet so far I thought I was in flight with the planets off Moving between day and night, here I am, there you are

We follow the dancing girl, a vision in amber lace What an entrancing girl, she moves with such rhythm and grace Who can she be? We follow the dancing girl and come to a quiet place Here in this weary world, somewhere between time and space We will be free

So each of us is born alone What a welcome to the twilight zone You can leave with only what you bring Those things we cannot see appear They are singing songs we cannot hear But the echo is a part of everything

Listen Meanwhile in the ghetto's dust and gloom I hear birds still blowing in that room Honey, all those notes, all those notes All those notes won't take the pain away Hey man, you sure like 'em to harm With that needle stuck up in your arm Dope will never turn the night to day (Today, today)

Just a little further, just a little further Just a little further down the line (Further down the line) Baby sister hits these streets 'bout nine And the wind blows chilly Little Willie needs new shoes

You got to tell her (Tell her) Tell her (Tell her) Tell her what you want to do (Tell her what you wanna do) Boogie, bop, a boogaloo Tell her what you wanna do Boogie, bop, a boogaloo

Yeah, tell her (Tell her) Tell her what you, what you wanna do (Tell her what you wanna do) Boogie (Boogie), bop, a boogaloo

We follow the dancing girl A vision in amber lace What an entrancing girl She moves with such rhythm and grace Who can she be?

We follow the dancing girl And come to a quiet place Here in this weary world Somewhere between time and space We will be free

We will be free

hey, quick question, why did no one tell me about Terry Callier? Gonna listen to his whole discography real quick.

If you like folk/jazz/soul, please give him a try. With Dancing Girl perhaps. His voice is something else. Timeless really.
