Taybea: A Matter of Trust - by Billy Joel

I heard this one today --

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Christopher Cross > Arthur's Theme (Don't know the real title)





New one:

You're the silent type
And you caught my eye
But I never thought that I'd be touching you.
How was I to know
I'd let my feelings go
And that I'd be yours before
The night was through.
Actually Arthur's Theme is the title - - also shows up as Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)
Nice little flashback of Christopher Cross & scenes from the movie with Dudley Moore

ETA:
Just remembered there was a Taylor connection to Christopher Cross - there must be video somewhere of him mentioning being excited and flattered when Christopher Cross recognized him in a restaurant. Pretty sure it was in a "chatting with Ryan" segment and these bits I found in a search would seem to support that as being on Top 8 Guys night.

"I love Taylor Hicks, but when he talks about the thrill of meeting Christopher Cross, ......"

"Taylor Hicks got to meet one of his inspirations lately, Christopher Cross, inspiring Ryan to ask if they were Sailing when they met."
Here's one pretty easy , but one of my favorites.Smile



I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon
On the street where I was born
Sonny Terry,Brownie Mcghee.
Muddy Waters sing I'm A Rolling Stone
I went home and read my Christmas Humphrey's book on Zen
Curosity killed the cat
Kerouac's "Dharma Burns" and ' On the Road"

New offering . . . .

But I know a place where we can go
That's still untouched by men
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass wave in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
