I look around for the friends I used to turn to pull me through. Looking into their eyes, I see them running, too.
The idea that I wrote something that stood for the way I feel about things, and that it lasts, that's probably my favorite thing that I've done.
When I really started liking music was when I could play some of it myself, and after a couple of years of playing folk music, I kinda rediscovered those hits that were on the radio all the time when I was a kid.
Also, right at that particular time in the music business, because of people like the Beatles, people began owning their own publishing. I'll just say this really quickly - they used to divide the money for the music that was written in two, just equal halves.
I'm sensitive, you know, about some things, and as some of my partners could attest to, incredibly insensitive.
When you turn out the light, I've got to hand it to me. Looks like it's you and me again tonight Rosie.
Somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go may lie a reason you were alive, but you'll never know.
These days I seem to think about the things I forgot to do for you and all the times I had a chance to.
Let the disappointments pass, let the laughter fill your glass.
I want to find myself a girl who can show me what laughter means, and we'll fill in the missing numbers in each others paint-by-numbers dreams.
You can take as much as you can from the generation that has preceded you, but then it's up to you to make something new.
No matter how fast I run, I can't get away from me.
Let the music keep our spirits high, let the buildings keep our children dry, let creation reveal its secrets by and bye.
I've been aware of the time passing by they say in the end it's the wink of an eye and when the morning light comes streaming in you'll get up and do it again
