Frozen Charlotte by Natalie Merchant is beautiful and haunting.

The weather is here I wish you were beautiful
The skies are too clear life's so easy today
The beer is too cold, the daiquiri's too fruitiful
No place like home when you're this far away
I don't care what they say (I don't care)


Weather is here, I wish you were beautiful. Jimmy Buffett

You don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim.

-Jim Croce

“ "The problem is all inside your head", she said to me. The answer is easy if you take it logically”

I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover.

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

-50 Ways to leave your lover by Paul Simon

Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing

Oh! I got plenty of time
Oh! You got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money, always for love
Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight

Talking Heads
This must be the place

Great song.

And another from Cowboy Junkies, Ring on the Sill, the best song about getting engaged that manages not to be sappy, makes me cry every time:

He puts her ring on her finger,
She brushes back his hair
He takes a sip from his glass,
She inhales the cold fall air
And they're thinking of the long road ahead
And the strength that they will need
Just to reach the end
And there in the silence they search for
The balance between this fear that they feel
And a love that has graced their lives

Sometimes I see myself fine, sometimes I need a witness.
And I like the whole truth, but there are nights I only need forgiveness.
Sometimes they say "I don't know who you are, but let me walk with you some."
And I say "I am alone, that's all. You can't save me from all the wrong I've done."

But they're waiting just the same
With their flashlights and their semaphores
And I'll act like I[b] have faith and like that faith never ends
But I really just have friends.

-Dar Williams, "My Friends"

Get down off the cross, we can use the wood.
Tom Waits, Come on up to the House

All that I know to be true
Is the touch of your hand on my skin.
One look from you can so easily soothe
All this turmoil within.
As we dance cheek to cheek
With our feet so completely
Locked in a time all our own.
I stop to speak
But you gently keep me
Moving in time to the song.
And in a voice that is sloppy with gin
You say, "let the world spin".

Cowboy Junkies, River Waltz

It's funny how falling feels like flying
For a little while

--Flyin' and Fallin', from Crazy Heart

And the old woman behind the pink curtains and the closed door
On the first floor
She's listening through the air shaft
To see how long our swan song can last
And both hands
Now use both hands
Oh, no don't close your eyes
I am writing
Graffiti on your body
I am drawing the story of
How hard we tried

-Ani DiFranco, Both Hands

Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh
Totally emotionless except for her heart
Mud flowed up into Lump’s pajamas
She totally confused all the passing piranhas

In the snow covered hills
Til the landslide
Brought me down

I built my life around you until the landslide brought me down.

I hate you, I love you
I hate that I love you
Don't want to but I can't put
Nobody else above you
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her

Love The Cars, especially this one.
