ok, i'll brave the arrows, but I suspect part of the problem is that you
can't send the music or the tone of voice out with the words.

Leaving out "Falling Through Time", I usually pick something from Don
McLean's third album (gray cover, untitled) as having the best lyrics I
know. All incurable romantics with a dark and bitter side should have it.
This month, "If We Try" is the favorite:

"I don't want you to pledge your future
The future's not yours to give.
Just stand there a little longer
And let me watch while you live.
...
Well, you've got me standing deaf and blind
'cause I see love as just a state of mind
And who knows what it is that we might find
If we try."
