"I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawlin' by
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry"

2nd verse of "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" by Hank Williams


That whole verse to me is just so bold and vivid and evocative of an unbearably lonesome night.......

"I don't expect this from my wife; If I bleed, I'd rather it from the knife."

"You became the light on the dark side of me."

"Broken hearts and broken souls; All that's left here on my piano stool."

"I cannot take this anymore. Saying everything I've said before. All these words they make no sense. I find bliss in ignorance. Less I hear the less you'll say. You'll find that out anyway."

The first two verses of a song called "Unseen Open Sores" (by a somewhat obscure alt.-country artist named Pete Serge) also jump out at me......


"I've got unseen open sores
Baby, you'd get sick, of course
To see the pus
Oozing from my soul

But my unseen open sores
Are just ugly metaphors
For cuts you made
Not so long ago"

'Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss'

Jim Morrison

Face to face, I've been waiting such a long time. Inspite of the pain I found you again in the heat of the night.
Face To Face: Strangeways

I've seen this place before and you were standing by my side. I've seen your face before tonight. Maybe I'ust seen what Ive just seen what I want it to be, I know its a mystery. Do you remember me, on the street of dreams?

And I'll always remember how it feels to have to bring your dreams alive.

“Ghost Within My Dream”

A ghost within my dream
Staring across an empty stream
Searching for the one thing
That makes even the angels sing
I’d walk eternity just for you
And all those things you do
Causing a broken heart to smile
Needing you more, all the while
Though the future is unknown
I promise you, a heartfelt tone
I will spend all my days
Showing you in various ways
How much you mean to me
Just let your heart be free
Here is your fairy tale
Let my love for you never fail

I only love it
When it reminds me of you
I only want it
If it shines like you do
I only need it
If it reminds me of you

As each day passes, I can sense your fear
Close your eyes, you’ll feel me near
Always in my thoughts, always in my heart
I think I loved you, right from the start
Please, don’t cry
As days pass by
I’ll always be your baby
So, please, drop the maybe
Embark to our future, without any fears
I’ll show you forever, without any tears
Don’t ask me to explain it; ‘fore there are no words
Just take my hand; let us fly with the birds
A ghost within my dream
The beauty within my stream

You are just a ghost within my dream (my dream)
Shedding the beauty of what I need (I need)
Always aiming for something
That makes the angels sing
I’d walk eternity just for you
Desiring those things you do
Forcing a broken heart to smile
Pushing me along that extra mile
Though the future is unknown
I’ll live to make you moan
To a place lost in words
Screaming out slanderous chords
I want to set your heart free
A forever with you, is all I see
Here is your fairy tale, in plain sight
You are my Goddess, so let me be your knight

Amon Amarth - Versus The World

We've been battered and left for dead,
We've been beaten and we have bled,
But we always made it through - versus the world!
This may be our last quest,
Before we're put to rest,
The end is coming soon - versus the world!

Who sings that? It's gorgeous.

Gotye - Hearts a Mess.
"Pick apart
The pieces of your heart
And let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine"

Um.. no one.

I can't sing.

"If I can find my mind now, I guess I'll just leave"


.....from "Guitars, Cadillacs" - written and recorded by Dwight Yoakam
