ok, you're up again. The rules are simple, the rules are the obvious and players are on the honor system - no web searches.

In my dream my love was lost, I lived by luck and faith
I carried you inside of me, prayed it wouldn't be too late
Now I'm standin' on this empty road, where nothin' moves but the wind

Oh once I was your treasure, and I saw your face in every star
But these promises we make at night, oh that's all they are
Unless we fill them with faith and love, empty as a howlin' wind

You came to me with lovin' kindness
But all my life I was a prisoner of my own blindness
I met you with indifference, and I don't know why

Now I awake from my dream, I awake from my dream to this world
Where all is shadow and darkness, and under me a dark sky unfurls
An' all the love I've thrown away and lost, I'm longing for again

I'm taking a guess but would that be in your arms? I think it's either by mark bousard or bruce springsteen I cant remember

Close enough on both counts:
Back In Your Arms Again - Springsteen + ESB

May as well sneak one in here during the lulll...
--------------------------------

All my friends are married
Every Tom and Dick and Harry
You must be strong if you're to go it alone
Here's to the bachelors and the Bowery bums
Those who feel that they're the ones that are better off without a wife

It's how I got sleeping 'til the crack of noon
Midnight howling at the moon
Going out when I want to
Comin' home when I please
Don't have to ask permission
I want to go out fishin'
Never have to ask for the key

I never been no Valentino
But I had a girl who lived in Reno
Left me for a trumpet player but it didn't get me down
He was wanted for assault
Though he said it weren't his fault
Y'know the coppers rode him right out of town

It's how I got sleeping 'til the crack of noon
Midnight howling at the moon
Going out when I want to
Comin' home when I please
Don't have to ask permission
I want to go out fishin'
Never have to ask for the key

They say I'm kinda selfish about my privacy
Well as long as I can be with me we get along so well I can't even believe it
Love to chew the fat with folks
I'll be listening to all your dirty jokes
I'm so thankful for these friends I do receive

It's how I got sleeping 'til the crack of noon
Midnight howling at the moon
Going out when I want to
Comin' home when I please
Don't have to ask permission
I want to go out fishin'
Never have to ask for the key

Hey I got this girl I know
She been married several times
I don't want to end up like her
She been married so many times she got rice marks all over her face
Yeah, you know the kind

Well done SuperSwede, and in fantastic time as well. For those of you who know, on the "Nighthawks at the Diner" album from which this song is from, the song is preceded by a lengthy and hilarious ad-lib type story by Waits about his lonely social life. I was thinking of including those lyrics as well, but I haven't got all day!

You're up Swede...

**SuperSwede** · October 23rd, 2007, 10:23 AM

Yeah "Nighthawks at the Diner" is a fantastic album!

"
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so. "

May I jump in..

"Went downtown to look for a job
had no training no experience to speak of
and I looked at the holes in my jeans
and I turned and headed back..."

pes_laul · October 23rd, 2007, 02:39 PM

a lil' late on the getup but here goes

Time after time
I sit and i wait
for your call
I know I'm a fool but what can I say
whate ever the price I'll pay
For you, sweet madame blue

Once long ago
one word from your lips and the world turned around
But somehow you've changed
your so far away
I long for the past and dream of the days
with you madame blue

**ted s** · October 23rd, 2007, 03:07 PM

I'm gonna say Madame blue by Styx ?

Ok, have at it..

I used to hold her
I'm never let her down
When she needed me
I was always around

But hey, that's all over now

I was really wrong
Now she's really gone

When temptation found me
Wicked water had its way (?)
Day turned into night
Night turned into day

And then I read my fortune
In the bottom of a glass
It said, "She's leavin' you."
"You've had your last chance!"

I'm warning you, brother
Take my advice
Love your woman
Morning, noon, and night

**ted s** · October 29th, 2007, 05:03 AM
