Last night I dreamt I held you with me,
Close enough to feel you breathe,
When I awoke I lay here empty,
Caught between the want and need,

Now in the drakness I am only,
Thoughtful hopes and pieces mind,
These dreams are all I've ever wanted,
Found behind the closing eyes,

How long we've been trying to reach you,
We all fall down like this sometimes,
Trying to reach you,
I'm trying,

Last night I dreamt I had you with me,
Closer still to see you leave,
When I awoke the fear of lonely,
Gripped my heart in conscious sleep,

Now in the darkness I lay empty,
Hollow beaten like a drum,
Sill water cages I am hoping,
In these dreams to me you'll come,

How long we've been trying to reach you,
We all fall down like this sometimes,
Trying to reach you,
I'm trying,

These fields alive with fire and ashes,
Inside these fields we'll find oceans of ashes,
When all your dreams have died,
I don't want to die,

Just keeping holding my hand,
Because I'm trying to reach you,
I'm never letting you go,
Because I'm dying to keep you,

I'm trying

I'm walking through your fields,
Of broken flowers,
They fall upon my face like tears for hours,
If all we are we are,
If all we are we are,
To wake and call your name,
In the tine hours,
We all fall down

    This song is no.1 played on my ipod. 98 times!! Should be reaching the century very soon. This Year and Before They Knew are both in the 80's.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
