It only takes a little light to fill up a room
It only takes one look from you to make me realize I'm in the right place
And just when I thought I'd lost my way
I've got the world on a string again
I've got a song in my heart tonight
I'm coming up roses in spring again
I guess you could say I'm a lucky guy
One life, try to live it right
One heart, gonna fill it with light
One love, here to hold me tight
Feel like dancing, though I've two left feet
They hand me the drum, but I can't keep the beat
Still everything's easy and in the right place
When your hand's in mine it always ace after ace
I've got the world on a string again
I've got a song in my heart tonight
I'm coming up roses in spring again
I guess you could say I'm a lucky guy
One life, try to live it right
One heart, gonna fill it with light
One love, here to hold me tight and cast the cares of this world from my shoulders

Red Ribbons

You live like a flood that covers the land
You're living on blood, and other demands
I'm just trying to breathe - to come up for air
But you're like a flood, and I'm burning in here
How can I meet those demands?
I decided that someone else can - and I made a fire
Saw you in your tower, miles up in the air
Your wave crashed down to me - you beckoned me there
I climbed up for years, only to find out, when I knocked on your door that I'd been locked out
How can I meet those demands?
I decided that someone else can - and I made a fire
Saw your red ribbons on the ground, and that's when I knew that I could not be your clown.
So I made a fire.

“I live my life in ever widening circles, each superseding all the previous ones.” -Rilke
John Ralston recommends:
Power Pop trio whose EP is absolutely fantastic. RIYL: Rock-n-Roll like the Replacements/Westerberg, Big Star, etc do it. Think an edgier/garagier Posies...yeah I like that.
