For the Beauty of Wynona Lyrics
the ingots are burning red
im working time and a half
tomorrow i stay in bed
what a hell it is what a life
i bound my fingers why dont you
laugh with the rest who know it well
i tripped and then i fell
for the beauty of wynona
oh at night i toss and i turn
i try to dial your number
ah its changed and god only knows
where youve been since last december
where youve been with that twisted smile
throwing another on the pile
it aint easy when we go down
for the beauty of wynona
ah the girls they skip double dutch
i saw you go now im gone
but our prayers dont mean nothing much
with a heart that cannot be won
im now here in your fishing net
lying here in my own bed
[raah!] it aint easy when you go down
for the beauty of wynona
drowning in the tears i shed
for the beauty of wynona
Awesome cover of Daniel Lanios lots of emotion
Definitely a great cover. About a man's obsession with a woman and how it is torturing his life. He tries and tries to get her but he can't. He can't get over her and move on either.
is this on any album?
No. Prominent live versions, however, include 9.10.2000 (with David Ryan Harris), 10.26.1998 (with Tim Reynolds), and 5.18.02 (Dave Matthews solo). They can be found around most DMB message boards.
All in all, one of their very best covers.
Is this song about her big brown beaver?
The first time I heard Dave play this was when he was playing solo. Probably one of the most amazing songs, and performances I've heard. Daniel Lanois is one of my favorite songwriters.
I was in tears after the first time I heard this song. It's amazing in every way. The words, the sound, the general emotion of the song makes me feel so much. Daniel Lanois is a true genius when it comes to songwriting.
