No one presents misery as beautifully as Richard thompson.
Only a misdirected dart
At an unprotected heart
I'm sure it happens every day
Just a passing interlude
A fresh face to change the mood
I'll find my feet again you say
What rock I had you rolled
What rock I had you rolled away
But I live as best I can
Meet the uninhabited man
Please read the sign and walk away
What an old dry shell I am
The uninhabited man
I'll find my feet again you say
No doubt they'll pull me down
No doubt they'll pull me down someday
Who's been sleeping in my bed
Who's been sleeping in my bed
Who's been sitting in my chair
Who's been licking in my bowl
Who's been sleeping in my bed
A romantic ruin am I
Funny how I catch the eye
The vacuum slowly sucks you in
I'm left no skill, no art
To meet you heart to heart
You'll find no me beneath the skin
And if there's no me then there's no
And if there's no me then there's no sin
Who's been sleeping in my bed
Who's been sleeping in my bed
And who's been sitting in my chair
Who's been licking in my bowl
Who's been sleeping in my bed
Thompson will be in Dallas April 13 with his "Electric Trio". It will be my fourth time to see him. I'd really like to see one of his solo show's some day.
Ah, one more shall we?
For my good friend at Assorted.

Sigh...aren't those both just marvelous?? Another great musician you introduced me to!
The sad thing is that he'll be on stage a mile away from me in about an hour's time, but, I've just had a weekend of moving house, followed by a very busy, and physically, as well as mentally, exhausting day.
And I've been looking forward to it but.... I think I'd fall asleep.
On the other hand.... I'm wondering where he's playing before your show? Houston?
Souby, he's in Ohio the 11th, and Dallas is last on the list. maybe some thing wlll pop up .
