WALTZING'S FOR DREAMERS - RICHARD THOMPSON

Four part harmony LOL - why do things in half measures :D Hope you like it ... have some words...


Oh play me a blue song and fade down the light
I'm sad as a proud man can be sad tonight
Just let me dream on, oh just let me sway
While the sweet violins and the saxophones play
And Miss, you don't know me, but can't we pretend
That we care for each other, till the band reach the end

One step for aching, and two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step for sighing and two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love

Now they say love's for gamblers, oh the pendulum swings
I bet hard on love and I lost everything
So don't send me home now, put a shot in my arm
And we'll drink out old memories and we'll drink in the dawn
And Mr Bandleader won't you play one more time
For I've good folding money in this pocket of mine

Oh, one step for aching, two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step for sighing, and two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love

Oh Miss, you don't know me, but can't we pretend
That we care for each other, till the band reach the end

Oh, one step for aching, two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
One step for sighing, two steps for crying
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love
Waltzing's for dreamers and losers in love

Sigh!!!!

butterflies. not the stomach kind but fluttering among a field of mustard as the afternoon rays lengthen and J. Strauss wafts faintly from violins at some distant pavilion where gracile dancing couples transcend duality in ritual rhythms of three.

The one is weightless formality; the other, untrammeled gaiety; their singular grace is to leave all their sorrow unspoken.

Well Janet, You already know what a huge Richard Thompson fan I am...

Not to mention what a huge Janet fan I am....

So this is doubly wonderful to my ears....

Actually considering how many Janets there are here, I guess it's exponentially 125 times better...

By the way... I personally think that Richard is at least technically a much more adept guitarist than Jimi was... But you really have to see him perform live to fully appreciate it.
