"Don't Dream It's Over"
Not matter how many times I see this video, the image that pops into mind when I hear this song is the crow sitting on the fence of the military installation during the opening credits of the Stephen King "The Stand" miniseries...
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today, tales of war and of waste,
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win
"Weather With You"
Walking 'round the room singing "Stormy Weather"
at 57 Mount Pleasant Street.
Well, it's the same room but everything's different
You can fight the sleep but not the dream
Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue sky
Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you
Well, there's a small boat made of china
It's going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Well, do I lie like a lounge room lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released?
Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you
