Lamentations

[meyers7]

When the dog don’t bite, when the ice melts, when the lady can’t sing, when the wind don’t blow across your big shoulders, when you can’t be always faithful, when the wine doesn’t pour, when your lips get chapped, when you sleep too long, when you can’t get fill the wall with bricks, when the links don’t work, when the Caymen don’t cheer, when you’re traveling days are through, you can no longer seek, it all jus washes away. Ah the territories of your mind. Dreams of days gone by.

Just for you, Meyers:

Just for you, Meyers:

Right back at you.

 

[veryolddog]

I can relate to that!

 

[Bama fan]

Right back at you.

I knew I could count on you to recover from your jeremiad if I just gave you a musical jumpstart.

I think it's wonderful that a word like "jeremiad," unknown to so many, could be used, and correctly, on this board.

Ha! My preacher wife just spoke on Jeremiah in her sermon last Sunday.

 

[JordyG]

"I promise myself to treat myself and visit a nearby tower".

 

[JordyG]

Or this version, which is to me just the best.

 

[JordyG]

And the other side of the coin.

 

[JordyG]

Or the bittersweet. Sung by the King.

 

[JordyG]

Pennies from heaven. Turn your frown upside down. For you and me.

 

[Zorro]

Jeremiah was lamentable!

There are many wordsmiths on the board. But like you, I am often pleasantly surprised by how often our fellow posters 'hit the nail on the head" so to speak. As I told another poster in a different thread, I often have to eat my words, so I like to pick good ones! Thanks for the collective kudos

Jeremiah was lamentable!

Actually, he was a bullfrog!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Could it be I just walked through the door?

"I promise myself to treat myself and visit a nearby tower".

Kinda not where I was trying to lead our friend Meyers, but a truly fantastic song by an under appreciated artist!

[JordyG]

When me and my buddy get together.

 

[Bama fan]

We me and my buddy get together.

Memory brushes the same years, silently sharing the same fears. Just incredible lyricism.
