Lyric of the week

March 27, 2013

And you, you took me in
You loved me then
You never wasted time
And I, I never took much
Never asked for your crutch
Now don’t ask for mine

(Bob Dylan, “Fourth Time Around,” as performed on Blonde on Blonde)

Rocking at the barbecue
Yeah, when we said “I do”
Hand jiving on the Ballroom floor
You in that wedding coat you wore
And you in that amazing dress
I was stoned on love I guess
You and me we were meant to be
This is us

This is us on our honeymoon
In our hotel room
Sitting by the wishing well
Checking out of the love motel
Making plans for the sunshine state
Waiting at the terminal gate
You and me making history
This is us

(Mark Knopfler, “This Is Us,” sung as a duet with Emmylou Harris)

I changed the number on my phone
So you can’t call me up at home
And you can’t say those things to me
That make me fall down on my knees
I changed the number on my phone

I changed the kind of car I drive
So you can’t see me when I go by
And you can’t chase me up the street
And you can’t knock me off of my feet
I changed the kind of car I drive

I changed the kind of clothes I wear
So you can’t find me anywhere
And you can’t spot me in a crowd
And you can’t call my name out loud
I changed the kind of clothes I wear

(Lucinda Williams, “Changed the Locks”)
