Favorite Lyrics

[The Highwayman]

So I close my eyes softly
Til I become that part of the wind
That we all long for sometime
And to those that I love
Like a ghost through a fog
Like a charmed hour
And a haunted song
And the angel of my dreams


Almost a breakdown of our love affair
The stiletto cuts quick like a whip through the air
Long distance winners will we survive the flight
Not one of us runs from the fire light

I would love to believe, I believe what you say
In the drama of the moment
Oh no there is no easy way, no one ever leaves
Everyone stays close 'till the fire fades


Do you always trust your first initial feeling
Special knowledge, holds true bears believing
I turned around and the water was closing all around
Like a glove, like the love that had finally, finally found me

Then I knew in the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me through the mountains
Through the crystal like a clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet, to the sea, to the sea

I know these are all Stevie lyrics, but then I think she's the best lyricist in the band.

I've always been fascinated by this line. If I could ask Stevie about any of her lines/song meanings, it would be this one. I have this image of her and Lindsey flinging shoes at each other during a fight, Jerry Springer style.

a stiletto is a type of knife.

Slim and thin and easily concealed. the shoe was name for the knife, because the heel of the shoe was reminiscent of the knife's blade.

True. I prefer the other image though.

Spread your broken wings,
And learn how to fly.
Pretty yellow bird fly away,
into the sun................

[Villavic]

But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm


It suited me perfectly in my youth. Now that I'm 50++, I'm usually a calm sea.

That was my fave Stevie lyric

My fave Christine's is (and again it reminds me my youth):
Your mood is like a circus wheel
You're changin' all the time

Lindsey's (though I did change but not in all aspects):
I never change
I never will

Though actually my fave one, whether is Chris or Lindsey, is this. However, though I think it was Lindsey, I'm not sure which of the two wrote it:
Everybody's trying to say I'm wrong
I just wanna be back where I belong

great choice!

Then I knew in the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me through the mountains
Through the crystal like a clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet, to the sea, to the sea

So I try to say goodbye, my friend
I'd like to leave you with something warm
But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm

Well there's a heartbeat, and it never really dies...
All I ever wanted, was to know that you are dreaming...

[GypsySorcerer]

Buy another fixture
Tell another lie
Paint another picture
See who's surprised

How the faces of love have changed, turning the pages
And I have changed, oh, but you, you remain ageless

You know all of our friends are gods
And they all tell us how to paint our face
But there's only one brush we need
It's the one that never leaves a trace

I haven't felt this way I feel
Since many a year ago
But in those years and the lifetimes past
I did not deal with the road
And I did not deal with you I know
Though the love has always been

If there's been a fool around,
It's got to be me

Could you ever need me
And would you know how

[jbrownsjr]

Lay me down in the tall grass and let me do my stuff.
