I almost dialed your number
When I thought the coast was clear
'Cause it's looked up for so long at me
And said call me please
But the place was closing
The countergirl turned the sign
The cooks were getting their coats
And I got mine
And said goodnight to the sea of empty seats
And if I am a sailor
Then you are the warm gulf wind
And you've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
I see my mouth moving
When I talk to you, I do
I see my lips and I feel like a kid
I can't keep something hid
'Cause I've been under the paper
You were writing on
You left your impression long after you'd gone on me
Marks only I can see
When we say sometime later
You know that we don't say when
You have blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
I almost dialed your number,
When I thought the coast was clear
Cause it's looked up for so long at me,
And said call me please.
When we say sometime later,
You know that we don't say when,
You have blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again.
Roused my dreams.
Sailor to wind...

A very fitting subject for a song. I believe the Police did something similar with "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic". It's a much more interesting topic than simply making the call. |

| Kokoloco53 (Safford, AZ) | Posted: Feb 10, 2010 - 10:53 Go to Sleep. Another great song off the same album, but careful, it's one that will put you to sleep, which is why they would call it correctly a lullaby. What a great poet, musician. |

I'm a proud Canadian in most matters, but I'm embarrassed about our lethargic approach to combating global warming. This song makes me smile, though! :) You've got that right. We have actually turned into environmental villains, blocking progress on combating global warming on every front. I would like to simply blame the present government ( and its narrow tar sands focus ) for this sad state of affairs but, seeing as how this government was democratically elected, we all have to share the blame. I don't think that the general population, as a whole, gets how serious this situation is. They think that global warming means that we will have nice warm winters so bring it on....we are in deep, deep trouble...with rising sea levels Nova Scotia will turn into an island. |

Overall, the album isn't bad. In my opinion, it starts off quite strong; the two best songs on it are this one and "Greeting Card Aisle", nos. 2 & 3 on the CD, respectively. Near the end, the songs get a little too slow & similar-sounding for me...still good, but not quite what the beginning of the disc is. Still, an overall solid effort. |
| Nicholaus | Posted: May 04, 2008 - 12:22 She has one of the best voices in music today. Her album "Songs For Clem" is old country standards that she recorded in her house for her father. Her best album though is "You Were Here" it's just amazing for so many reasons, highly recommended for everyone. |
| Crawlmeister (New York City) | Posted: May 04, 2008 - 12:22 Nice! I like! |
