Passing By

The days came by then went away, 
The timing never right
I looked around and then it passed
The day turned into night

Catching up with time and space
You don’t know what you’ll get
But i know whats not going on
Cos nothing’s happened yet

Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

I could’ve turned the other way
The feeling came so fast
Quickly went away again
Just wasn’t meant to last

It stopped me in my tracks
I didn’t know where to turn
Making the same mistake again 
When will i ever learn

Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

The days came by then went away, 
The timing never right
I looked around and then it passed
The day turned into night

It stopped me in my tracks
I didnt know where to turn
Making the same mistake again 
When will i ever learn

Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
…
Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

Passing By

When the evening comes
And the sun is down
Let your shoulders loose 
Wipe away your frown

For today was a good one
Some sadness and tears
Know at this moment
Stood up to my fears

And when you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long
Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Might never know the reason
Or why it’s like this
All I know
It’s the life that I’ll miss

And when you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long
Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

 When you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long

Till I see you again

Till I see you again

Till I see you again

This ain’t really a song

This Ain’t Really A Song

in my humble opinion, when it comes to songwriting, he's top of the pile......a huge influence ……..and good company during the recent cyclone here
" the saddest song ever written"......cheers for having a listen




"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" written by Hank Williams

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

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

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves began to die?
Like me, he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

a great song written by Rick Danko and Bob Dylan..........miles of shit have been written about this band......... best to let their music do the talking...........this version is with the Alters...cheers for having a listen

This Wheel’s On Fire 
WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN AND RICK DANKO
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 We were goin’ to meet again and wait
 So I’m goin’ to unpack all my things
 And sit before it gets too late
 No man alive will come to you
 With another tale to tell
 But you know that we shall meet again
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 This wheel’s on fire
 Rolling down the road
 Best notify my next of kin
 This wheel shall explode!
 
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 I was goin’ to confiscate your lace
 And wrap it up in a sailor’s knot
 And hide it in your case
 If I knew for sure that it was yours . . .
 But it was oh so hard to tell
 But you knew that we would meet again
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 This wheel’s on fire
 Rolling down the road
 Best notify my next of kin
 This wheel shall explode!
 
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 You’ll remember you’re the one
 That called on me to call on them
 To get you your favors done
 And after ev’ry plan had failed
 And there was nothing more to tell
 You knew that we would meet again
 If your mem’ry served you well
 This wheel’s on fire
 Rolling down the road
 Best notify my next of kin
 This wheel shall explode!
