Cover art for Desperation Song lyrics by Carbon Leaf

Lost and confused until you turn on the light, have an epiphany and realize what is right. Now pleading for your friends to stay with you through the good and the bad times. -- your laughter is my light --

Hey "Meteor", did you know this is the anniversary night of when it was written? I have a live recording where Barry says "this song was written on New Year's Eve...". Kinda cool, eh - or intentional?

So being intro- and retrospective here as my wife snores away beside me, I believe I unintentionally have always had a penchant for lyricists who like to baffle or at least keep their audiences guessing. ...

PS - Sorry for the double-post! First-timer's jittery fingers.

PPS - Desperation Song is absolutely magnificent to experience live (not taking anything away from the superb studio recording, to be clear).
