Think About You by Greg Brown

Gonna turn off the radio, control nothing remotely Ain't gonna rent me no video, disconnect the telephone I gotta be all alone, and just think about you I can smell your warm neck, I can hear your low laugh I see the way you come to me, feel the muscle in your strong back I get the good blues when I think about you I'm a-working on a' up-link, I'm sending out a signal Hope you can pick it up on your sweet receiver Hope you can feel me too when I think about you and I'm gonna think a long time gonna think a long time and I'm gonna think a long time think a long time When I build my little cabin with a sky window above the bed So I can sleep with Orion in the middle of the winter Maybe you will visit me, we can cook a slow soup Gonna ease down easy deeper in the dream I'm dreamin' It's like your arms are around me, like sinking in a hot bath even when I'm sleeping, I'm gonna think about you Gonna turn off the radio, control nothing remotely Ain't gonna rent me no video, disconnect the telephone I gotta be all alone, and just think about you

-Further In- by Greg Brown

<!--StartFragment-->further in, grandmother; grandfather, hold my hand
as I go on through this life and try to understand
the beauty of your faces I will never see again
but I know you're with me now leading me further in

further in, you friends of mine, they led me further in
I know I've hurt you many times and I've helped you and I will again
you to me and me to you, and us to all of them
the circle that will ever grow as we go further in

further in, O my love, take me further in
past the place where love hides its face and down to where we begin
so deep in this mystery, my tears on yours depend
and they like some wild river flow as we go further in

Greg Brown - Steady Love

She wants your passion, your caress
She wants your hands on her and a soulful kiss
But she's lookin' for more than just that, son
Gotta be somethin' under all the good times and fun

Oh steady love, steady love
When the chips are down
The kind she can be sure of
Oh steady love

She might like flowers, might like a poem
Might like it better if you were home
And cooked with her and did a little dance
Where the kitchen is happy, love has a chance

Oh steady love, steady love
When the chips are down
The kind she can be sure of
Oh steady love

She's seen the cool boys hangin' around
With their sad dark eyes they never settle down
They might've written books or made CDs for the shelves
But they mostly just think about themselves

She wants steady love, steady love
When the chips are down
The kind she can be sure of
Oh steady love

When the kids are cryin' and the bills are due
And you wonder what you have gotten into
And you think the whole deal is not to be
Give her steady love, you'll find out how hot a woman can be

Steady love, steady love
When the chips are down
The kind she can be sure of
Oh steady love

I've heard men say, "Well look at that
She's such a babe, he's kinda dull, a little fat"
He must know something about kind and fair
When she needs somebody, the man is there

He gives her steady love, steady love
When the chips are down
The kind she can be sure of
Oh steady love

Mmmm, steady love
When the chips are down
The kind she can be sure of
Oh steady love

(Repeat, repeat) I can't stop!

Bob Seger- Till It Shines

Take away my inhibitions
Take away my solitude
Fire me up with your resistance
Put me in the mood
Storm the walls around this prison
Leave the inmates
Free the guards
Deal me up another future
From some brand new deck of cards
Take the chip off of my shoulder
Smooth out all the lines
Take me out among the rustling pines
Till it shines

Like an echo down a canyon
Never coming back as clear
Lately I just judge the distance
Not the words I hear
I've been too long on these islands
I've been far too long alone
I've been too long without summer
In this winter home
Still if we can make the effort
If we take the time
Maybe we can leave this much behind
Till it shines

See the rich man lost and lonely
Watch him as he dines
Sitting there just testing all the wines
Till it shines
