I like the sound of the rain
washing away the silent day

And the lonely call
of a home-bound train

A mournful morning
kind of pain

....Give me the sound
of a blue bluejay

over the busy noise
that mocks my ways

I want to pack my bag
and fetch my dog

Whistle a tune
while we walk along...

Come on girl
It's starting to rain

I hear the sound
of the lonesome train

and the blue bluejay
calling my name

(Here's where yer sposed to whistle)

Been listening to John Prine this morning. He does this to me. :)

Tied down
Being strangled by the ropes of lust
If offered a hand
Would you take the help ?
Stranger, oh stranger
That is what i am
A stranger extending his stranger hand.
Accept or decline, the choice is yours

These are my words
The words in my head
The things that i say
While i'm drifting away
The words that never have, and probably never will
come out.

Dressed in black,
I came to witness,
Every tear that fell,
All the bouquets they sent,
Photographs of old memories,
The twilight in the room,
Carefully chosen conversations,
The heading on the tombstone,
I am sorry for your loss,
I'm sorry it was me.
Please touch me not 
without touching
my heart and soul

We were born too late to explore the earth,
Yet too early to explore the stars;
So all I have to search for
Are your eyes.
They're brighter than all those glimmering dots--
