Do a lady proud
They’re the diet lunch
That you can crunch
Out loud
“And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart”
Hoagy Carmichael - Stardust
(And pretty much any lines you care to choose from that, or his other songs)
“Beside a Garden wall when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The Nightingale tells his fairytale
Of Paradise where roses grew”

And the things that keep us apart
Keep me alive
And the things that keep me alive
Keep me alone
This is the thing

What a great artist! Start with the first, third or last album of this picture if you don’t know him yet. LP‘s available, too of those.
Long may you run.

Posted this on Paul’s, but though it isn’t a song, it is some good lines, and apropos of our Thing. Bit of a lapsed Catholic here, but I liked this quote from 14th-Century Persian poet and Sufi master Hafiz:
" I am a hole in a flute that the Christ’s breath moves through. Listen to this music"
Happy Holidays, all!

Love that one and many of Waite’s lines…”misery is the river of the world,
everybody row.”
“And by tracing it twice I fell through the ice of Alice”
Maybe it’s much too early in the game
Oh, but I thought I’d ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year’s, New Year’s Eve?
This is going on Holiday and YouTube threads as well ; )
The spaces in between leave room
for you and I to grow

Tell me that you’ve heard every sound there is
and your bird can swing
but you can’t hear me
you can’t hear me
And Your Bird Can Sing, the Beatles
Chas, love the lads

but he still gets the metaphor.

Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now

This time of year, many lines from this one resonate:
“Then the child moved ten times 'round the Seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams”
Joni - Circle Game
I’d like to hold my head up, and be proud of who I am
But they won’t let my secret go untold
I’ve paid the debt I owed 'em, but they’re still not satisfied
Now I’m a Branded Man out in the cold
Merle Haggard, “Branded Man”
