How It Feels Tonight

Jul 21, 2007 4 Replies

It seems like yesterday But it was long ago Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights There in the darkness with the radio playlng low And the secrets that we shared The mountains that we moved Caught like a wildfire out of control Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove



And I remember what she said to me How she swore that it never would end I remember how she held me oh so tight Wish I didnt know now what I didnt know then



Against the wind We were runnin against the wind We were young and strong, we were runnin Against the wind



And the years rolled slowly past And I found myself alone Surrounded bv stranners I thought were my friends I found myself further and further from my home And I guess I lost my way There were oh so many roads I was living to run and running to live Never worried about paying or even how much I owed Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time Breaking all of the rules that would bend I began to find myself searchin Searching for shelter again and again Against the wind A little something against the wind I found myself seeking shelter against the wind



Well those drifters days are past me now Ive got so much more to think about Deadlines and commitments What to leave in, what to leave out



Against the wind Im still runnin against the wind Well Im older now and still Against the wind


Apologies to Bobby and to y'all for interrupting your train of thought.


Regards,



Tom Watson

That'd probably sound great set to music.

"Lightning" might win the Mackinac race again this year... if she's running. She won last year "against the wind."

To launch the party...music is on at 11:45 PM (SAT) with an 80's set under the Bluewater bridge.

It'd be interesting to hear some very familiar songs read by the person who sings them -without the drums and bass and guitar. This one takes on a whole new meaning without The Silver Bullet Band playing.

I remind my young friends that are racing through life - that the finish line is death. Some slow down just a bit to smell the roses. Others are hell bent and one or two reached their goal - unintentionally.

Thanks for the lyrics Tom.
