Quotes

  • I'm glad that the Bush years are behind us.
  • These days I seem to think a lotAbout the things that I forgot to doFor youAnd all the times I had the chance to.
  • Now if I seem to be afraidTo live the life that I have made in songWell it's just that I've been losing so long.
  • These days I sit on cornerstonesAnd count the time in quarter-tones to ten, my friendDon't confront me with my failuresI had not forgotten them.
  • The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas,She would stare across the water from the trees.Last time he was home he held her on his kneesAnd said the next time they would sail away just where they pleased.
  • Well I'm running down the roadTryin' to loosen my load,I've got seven women on my mind,Four that wanna own me,Two that wanna stone me,One says she's a friend of mine.
