I was hers and you were his
The night we met out on that bridge
You knew then what I know now
That love put down comes back some how
The comet came, the comet went
And hid its face in the firmament
I looked once and then turned away
When I looked again it was much too late
A summer wind, a cotton dress
This is how I remember you best
A glance held long and a stolen kiss
This is how I remember you best
The fool I was is the fool I am
I've got a wife, I'm a family man
But when I lay in our bed
I sometimes dream I'm holding you instead
(CHORUS)
The kids are fine
They're six and nine
I think you'd probably like my wife
But the kitchen light seems much too bright
For what I find myself thinking tonight
(CHORUS )

One of my favourite male singer songwriters. Excellent. Thanks to the RP team!
Thanks for a wonderful stream of male musicians who are quite different but yet similar in a way that allows stringing songs together as only RP does as skillfully. I have seen all but Bruce Cockburn, so far.

More Richard Shindell please...
I bet I'd like this better without the tinny live production and Dave Matthews-ish crowd noise.
I bet his wife loves it every time he plays this one.
Knew I knew that voice. He was in Cry, Cry, Cry.
Wow. Nice. Richard Thompson-ish, in a very good way.
...great flow this morning, bill...
good singer songwriter.
check out Reunion Hill off this album.
I have been a long time fan of Shindell and his songwriting. Sometimes his vocals struggle a bit during live performances but the writing is solid through and through.
Let's hear some more from Courier -- my favorite Shindell album.
