| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 00  | A quick, short tribute to the legend Jerry Garcia. Every Head remembers where they were in '95 when they heard the bad news. Jerry, this one's for you: Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia Rat in a drain ditch Caught on a limb You know better but I know him Like I told you What I said Steal your face right off your head Now he's gone Lord he's gone Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track He's gone He's gone and nothing's gonna bring him back He's gone Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride Hot as a pistol but cool inside Cat on a tin roof Dogs in a pile Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile Now he's gone Lord he's gone Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track He's gone He's gone and nothing's gonna bring him back He's gone Going where the wind don't blow so strange Maybe on some high cold mountain range Lost one round but the price wasn't anything Knife in a back and more of the same Same old rat in a drain ditch Out on a limb You know better but I know him Now he's gone Lord he's gone Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track He's gone He's gone and nothin's gonna bring him back He's gone.... -------------------------------------------------- I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far . . . | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Jan. 01 | Looks Like Rain I woke today... And felt your side of bed The covers were still warm where you'd been layin'. You were gone... My heart was filled with dread. You might not be sleepin' here again [Chorus:] It's alright, 'cause I love you. And that's not gonna change. Run me round, make me hurt again and again. But I'll still sing you love songs Written in the letters of your name. And brave the storm to come, For it surely looks like rain. Did you ever waken to the sound Of street cats makin' love And guess from their cries You were listenin' to a fight? Well, you know... Hate's just the last thing they're thinkin' of. They're only trying to make it through the night. [Chorus:] I only want to hold you. I don't want to tie you down. Or fence you in the lines I might have drawn. It's just that I've gotten used to Havin' you around. My landscape would be empty If you were gone. [Rain, rain, go away...]   | ||||

Morning Dew Walk me out in the morning dew my honey, Walk me out in the morning dew today. I can't walk you out in the morning dew my honey, I can't walk you out in the morning dew today. I thought I heard a baby cry this morning, I thought I heard a baby cry this today. You didn't hear no baby cry this morning, You didn't hear no baby cry today. Where have all the people gone my honey, Where have all the people gone today. There's no need for you to be worrying about all those people, You never see those people anyway. I thought I heard a young man morn this morning, I thought I heard a young man morn today. I thought I heard a young man morn this morning, I can't walk you out in the morning dew today. Walk me out in the morning dew my honey, Walk me out in the morning dew today. I'll walk you out in the morning dew my honey, I guess it doesn't really matter anyway, I guess it doesn't matter anyway, I guess it doesn't matter anyway, Guess it doesn't matter anyway.

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | And one more The Music Never Stopped There's mosquitoes on the river Fish are rising up like birds It's been hot for seven weeks now, Too hot to even speak now, Did you hear what I just heard? Say it might have been a fiddle or it could have been the wind But there seems to be a beat now I can feel it my feet now Listen here it comes again! There's a band out on the highway, They're high steppin' into town It's a rainbow full of sound, It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns Everybody dancin' C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands. Sun went down in honey and the moon came up in wine, You know stars were spinnin' dizzy, Lord The band kept us too busy we forgot about the time. They're a band beyond description, Like Jehovah's favorite choir People joining hand in hand While the music played the band, Lord They're setting us on fire. Crazy rooster crowin' midnight, Balls of lightin' roll along Old men sing about their dreams, Women laugh and children scream And the band keeps playin' on. Keep on dancin' thru the daylight, Greet the mornin' air with song No ones's noticed, but the band's all pack and gone. Was it ever there at all? But they keep on dancin' C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands Well the cool breeze came on Tuesday, And the corn's a bumper crop And the fields are full of dancin' Full of singin' and romancin' The music never stopped. "Some folks trust to reason others trust to might, I don't trust to nothin', but I know it comes out right." | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 00 | Kim, I just missed the boat. I only started to hear them in High School, but my parents never let me go to concerts on school nights. I had plans to see them in Sept. '95 but, you know the rest. I do my best now seeing Phish and attempting to simulate the experience. Another one that fits the mood: All the years combine they melt into a dream A broken angel sings from a guitar In the end there's just a song comes crying like the wind through all the broken dreams and vanished years Stella Blue When all the cards are down there's nothing left to see There's just the pavement left and broken dreams In the end there's still that song comes crying like the wind down every lonely street that's ever been Stella Blue I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel Can't win for trying Dust off those rusty strings just one more time Gonna make em shine It all rolls into one and nothing comes for free There's nothing you can hold for very long And when you hear that song come crying like the wind it seems like all this life was just a dream Stella Blue -------------------------------------------------- I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far . . . | ||||
