The real danger of writing a great song when you're on something is that it might get you thinking that the only way to repeat that is by only writing when you're high.
catalog great looked months pockets saw terrific time wrote year
I looked through our catalog year by year, and I saw that there were pockets of time when we wrote some terrific songs. Then all of a sudden, we'd go for another two or three months and there weren't great songs.
affair business hurt nervous
I'm very nervous that this whole affair will hurt our business financially.

apart bright far helps lonesome love might night sing sleeping somewhere start though together underneath winds wishing
And even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star. And when the night winds start to sing a lonesome lullaby, it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky. Somewhere out there, if love can see us through then, we'll be together ... Somewhere out there, out where dreams, come true.
