Cactusflower Lyrics
You phone around, but everyone's staying home
Another night alone could make your head go spin
But the needles on the phonograph must be cursing; you've gotta let it be.
In the brown on your wall, you can hear another way
To make the West Coast ladies do the East Side Shake
As long as the one across town just can't wait;
turns on her stereo....
We can find - something finer than some coins in a wishing well....
All in good time; when wrong is right, and I'm another one, that's what I need.
She said her soul is torn and her thinking not straight,
Her patched up heart becoming worn and frayed
I've got my needle and thread goin' all the right ways
Put on your party dress...
All this time defies my mind,
Spend your whole life in a waiting room,
Only to find, your palm was right,
There was no line for apologies.
I am...
Rain on...... the dusted desert summertime
We will; we will, not have to wait for long....
Another night alone could make your head go spin
But the needles on the phonograph must be cursing; you've gotta let it be.
To make the West Coast ladies do the East Side Shake
As long as the one across town just can't wait;
turns on her stereo....
All in good time; when wrong is right, and I'm another one, that's what I need.
Her patched up heart becoming worn and frayed
I've got my needle and thread goin' all the right ways
Put on your party dress...
Spend your whole life in a waiting room,
Only to find, your palm was right,
There was no line for apologies.
Rain on...... the dusted desert summertime
We will; we will, not have to wait for long....

yeah john gold! his music has a very subtle beauty that i think most people overlook. I love his songs, they're very comforting. Especially this one. It's very hopeful, I think it's about how he feels that there is a girl living across town that he is meant to meet one day and he knows she is lonely. He believes they will come together one day and he is singing this song to her to encourage her not to give up hope. That's what I am currently taking from it.
