| Cowboy Junkies – This Street, That Man, This Life Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| I don't know to what this song refers and maybe it is a comment on a mythical figure of evil (Satan etc). Or it could be about a daughter/sister/wife having been moved to a place of safety away from an abusive father/husband. In either case it has a powerful sombre and menacing tone. | |

NomadMonad+ I do think your poem is very good and would like to have responded in kind - alas I do not have the talent. I would like to point out, though, that Trump's victory (or Clinton for that matter) is not exactly a victory for democracy: I doubt he even received 25% of the vote of adults in the US. As in my own (less than) fair land, the system is designed to ensure that whoever you vote for the government will get in. Please don't vote, it only encourages them. Salud |

@[LeeRudyard:22979] In case you're interested and don't already know these are the full lyrics: "You might wake up some mornin' To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind And if you're quick enough to rise You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow Out on the new horizon You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings And if the sleep has left your ears You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow Don't be concerned, it will not harm you It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of Across my dreams with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love You might have heard my footsteps Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind I might have even called your name As I ran searching after something to believe in Though it's too late for changing someday you might look back exploring signs you left behind If you remember something there that glided past you followed close by heavy breathing Don't be concerned, it will not harm you It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of Across my dreams with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love My name is not worth knowing it's enough to know I'm a willing slave to something free You might have seen me once or twice between the walls of grown up tears and children's laughter You might have seen me running through the long-abandoned ruins of someone you used to be And if you felt the brief caress of wings that fluttered past with something running after Don't be concerned, it will not harm you It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of Across my dreams with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind If you remember something there That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin' The morning sun is nodding to the prisoner underneath whose restless questions are his bars And all the clouds between the two look down bewildered as to what he blindly follows You might have stood in silence and heard symphonies of wandering and wondered whose they are They're compositions of a madman trying hard to fill the part of him that's hollow Don't be concerned, it will not harm you It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of Across my dreams with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love The open eyes of evening watch the penny-ante festival of fools below the moon The clumsy joker tries in vain to catch the prize before a thousand laughing princes The night gives way to morning and returns to bring the darkness on the heels of afternoon But if the night should bring the feeling of a distant game of tag upon your senses Don't be concerned, it will not harm you It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of Across my dreams with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love Don't be concerned, it will not harm you It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of Across my dreams with nets of wonder I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love." |

For more than 40 years I've believed the final verse goes: "And I need a good woman to make me feel like a good man should. I don't say I'm a good man Or that I would be if I could." And to tell the truth I prefer my version of the final line. |
