A split from the crowd !

Yes Supertramp was popular, so were Pink Floyd in my troubled days; and the two Rogers decided to go their own way. Regardless of who made it bigger, both have provided me with some reprieve in my troubled youth.



Time is always on the run, we've only just begun, lovers in the wind
Life is all we have to share, you know we must take care
Lovers in the wind
There was a time, when it was hard to know
reaching out, reaching out for somewhere to go
There was a light born on the darkest day
but no one wants to know, and no one wants to try
Love is all I have to give, it's all I need to live, lovers in the wind
There was a time, when it was hard to know
reaching out, reaching out for somewhere to go
There was a light born on the darkest day
but no one wants to know, and no one wants to cry
Time is always on the run, we've only just begun, lovers in the wind.






Hello...you wanna cup of coffee?
I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee?
Ok you take cream and sugar?
In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
In the company of has-beens
And bent-backs and sleeping forms
On pavement steps
In libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
In the pages of history
In suicidal cavalry attacks
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes

And now from where I stand
Upon this hill I plundered from the pool
I look around, I search the skies
I shade my eyes, so nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
I recognise...
The hope you kindle in your eyes

It's oh so easy now
As we lie here in the dark
Nothing interferes it's obvious
How to beat the tears
That threaten to snuff out
The spark of our love


Take your pick, for I never could !
