 | | Miguel 04:15Miguel, to me, is Gordon Lightfoot's "El Paso" -- the sad story of a hard life, bad decision, untimely death and an everlasting love. It was difficult to find "period" pics for this more...one, so I must thank Tj for coming to my rescue and providing some of them. That's what made this truly a "team" effort! Miguel (Summer Side of Life) 4:12 Never had much to say He traveled alone with no friends Like a shadowy ghost At dawn he came and he went Through the woodland swiftly gliding To the young maid he came riding Where she'd run to meet him By the garden wall Oh my sweet Miguel I will never tell No one will ever know What I know too well And he'd smile and lay his head on her breast And he'd say I have no fear They're waiting for me to cross the border, to swim the river ‘Cause I've done that before To see my true love's smiling face A hundred times or more Oh my sweet Miguel she cried I'll love you ‘til I die He was born to the south In Mexico they say The child of a man Who was soon gone away But his mother loved him dearly And she would take him yearly To the great cathedral in St. Augustine Oh my young Miguel Listen to the bell Of my poverty You must never tell And he cried himself to sleep in the night And he vowed to make things right So he took the gun down from the wall and he paid a call He knew she'd understand A lawman came to capture him The gun jumped in his hand Oh Miguel the mother cried You must run son or you'll die So the story is told Of his true love 'cross the line As strong as the oak And as sweet as the vine And the child she bore him Came on the fateful morning When they sent him to his final rest Oh my sweet Miguel Listen to the bell No one will ever know What I know too well Then she'd smile and lay the child on her breast And she'd say I have no fear I'm waiting for you to cross the border, to swim the river 'Cause you've done that before To see your true love's smiling face A hundred times or more Oh my sweet Miguel she cried I'll love you ‘til I die Link For online discussions about Gordon Lightfoot, his music and related topics http://www.corfid.com/ Link to Gordon Lightfoot website maintained by Wayne Francis http://www.lightfoot.ca/ Link to buy Gordon Lightfoot CD's http://www.bestprices.com/cgi-bin/vli... less Tags: miguel gordon lightfoot lightfoot tribute team 4lanestudios mylady stonewallstudios Category: Music Views: 451 Comments: 54 Added: Jul 5, 08 By: MyLady  | |  |  | | The Gypsy 02:53The Gypsy is another wonderful song in the Gordon Lightfoot Tribute series.

But the memory lingers yet, and it hangs around, Leavin' me low and leavin' me down. Everywhere I roam, there is nobody home. Even I should know, when it ain't my day there is no other way. -Instrumental- I begin to wake up to, how wrong it was to cling to you Sometimes I wish, to hold you to my heart, 'Cause I can't keep us apart. Forgiving you, Was the easiest thing that I ever could do. Everywhere I go, there is no one I know. Even I can see, it's too late now to believe in a vow. -Instrumental- As I wander I return, to days gone by there's much to be learned Sometimes I wish, that miracles could be. But at best I fail to see, any happenin', Some gotta lose and some gotta win. Everywhere I roam, there is nobody home. Even I should know, when it ain't my day there is no other way.

The "island goodbye", in my interpretation of Cobwebs & Dust, is to Canada's beautiful Prince Edward Island. ~~ Lynn Cobwebs & Dust (If You Could Read My Mind) 3:20 Island goodbye, island goodbye We been too long together, my island and I Cross the blue sea, cross the blue sea We been too long together, my island and me Cobwebs and dust, cobwebs and dust I hate to leave you but leave you I must Float through the sky, float through the sky We been too long together, my cobwebs and I Troubles goodbye, troubles goodbye We been too long together, my troubles and I Cross the blue sea, cross the blue sea We been too long together, my troubles and me Cobwebs and dust, cobwebs and dust I hate to leave you but leave you I must Float through the sky, float through the sky We been too long together, my cobwebs and I Unlock the gate, unlock the gate Lower the drawbridge the hour is late Whom shall it be, whom shall it be We been too long together, my drawbridge and me Cobwebs and dust, cobwebs and dust I hate to leave you but leave you I must Float through the sky, float through the sky We been too long together, my cobwebs and I Tear down the walls, tear down the walls Gather my treasure and scatter it all Cross the blue sea, cross the blue sea We been too long together, my treasure and me Run to her side, run to her side Run to my island and make her yer bride Whom shall it be, whom shall it be We been too long together, my island and me less Tags: lv02 cobwebs and dust gordon lightfoot tribute team 4lanestudios mylady surfcottage pei Category: Travel & Places Views: 82 Comments: 26 Added: Sep 14, 08 By: MyLady  | |  |  | | LVO2 VID1 Canary Yellow Canoe 02:57This song is pure, unadulterated fun, with a little geography thrown in for good measure.

But, doing half of a song was out of the more...question. This one is definitely two songs in one, with the trick being to tie the two together. The more I listened to it, the more I realized that he was disillusioned with the west coast lifestyle and longing for, possibly dreaming of, someone in North Ontario. As is the case with many of Lightfoot’s songs, interpretations will vary, and debates will continue over intentions, locations and content. Maybe this is what keeps his music fresh and his audiences both loyal and new… ~~ Lynn Cabaret (Summer Side of Life) 5:49 All I can see is the sea and the sky And the sky is blue and the sea is green Yesterday's a cabaret Gowns of satin on ladies gay Yesterday's a cabaret Sounds of laughter on faces grey Yesterday's a carousel Catch the ring and all will be well From the coast of California Up to the Oregon border I've thumbed a thousand miles I guess Sitting in a roadside diner The big trucks rollin' by I don't seem to know at times what's best And still I'd like to tell her That I miss her so In north Ontario If you're drivin' east to Reno Or north to Mendocino I hope you find your rainbow's end This highway is my rainbow And though I might regret it I'm so glad I said it way back when And still I'd like to tell her That I miss her so In north Ontario Link For online discussions about Gordon Lightfoot, his music and related topics http://www.corfid.com/ Link to Gordon Lightfoot website maintained by Wayne Francis http://www.lightfoot.ca/ Link to buy Gordon Lightfoot CD's http://www.bestprices.com/cgi-bin/vli... less Tags: cabaret gordon lightfoot tribute team 4lanestudios stonewallstudios mylady ontario dream carousel horse manitoulin island Category: Music Views: 117 Comments: 23 Added: Sep 8, 08 By: MyLady  | |  |  | | On Susans Floor 03:46This is one of a few songs that Gordon Lightfoot recorded but did not write. This song is also based on fact. "Susan" was Susan Brewer, a lady who opened her home to some of the "outlaw" more...artists of the 60's. On Susan's Floor (Don Quixote) 2:55 Like crippled ships that made it Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore The homeless found a home on Susan's floor Didn't feel so cold and tired Stretched out before her fire Rollin' smokes and drinkin' up her wine And I remember candlelight And singing 'til we could not sing no more Then fallin' warm asleep on Susan's floor Well now that my song is sweeter I think I'd like to greet her And thank her for the favors that she gave A stranger I came My head bowed in the rain to her door I sat and sang my songs on Susan's floor In the mornin' I'd go on Buyin' kingdoms with my songs Knowin' I'd be back in just a while Warm in the sunlight of her smile Well lots of time and songs have passed I catch myself just looking back Reliving all the wonder of those nights That's where I'd be today If I had only stayed one night more And sang another song on Susan's floor Like crippled ships that made it Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore The homeless found a home on Susan's floor Link for online discussions about Gordon Lightfoot, his music and related topics http://www.corfid.com/ Link to Gordon Lightfoot website maintained by Wayne Francis http://www.lightfoot.ca/ Link to buy Gordon Lightfoot CD's http://www.bestprices.com/cgi-bin/vli... less Tags: on susans floor gordon lightfoot tribute team 4lanestudios stonewallstudios mylady waylon jennings willie nelson roger miller kris kristofferson nashville Category: People Views: 262 Comments: 21 Added: Aug 19, 08 By: MyLady  | |  |  | | Affair On 8th Avenue 03:29This one's been high on my list of favourite Lightfoot songs since the first time I heard it. The power of the sense of smell… Who hasn’t been transported back to a specific place and time just by the more...scent of something – fresh cut grass, home baking, perfume? A woman’s fragrance is carefully chosen to be memorable. Gordon Lightfoot attests to that with this beautiful song. Affair On 8th Avenue (Back Here On Earth) 3:39 The perfume that she wore was from some little store On the down side of town But it lingered on long after she'd gone I remember it well And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night Her long flowing hair came softly undone And it lay all around And she brushed it down as I stood by her side In the warmth of her love And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin And we played a game only she could win And she told me a riddle I'll never forget Then left with the answer I've never found yet How long, said she, can a moment like this Belong to someone What's wrong, what is right, when to live or to die We must almost be born So if you should ask me what secrets I hide I'm only your lover, don't make me decide The perfume that she wore was from some little store On the down side of town But it lingered on long after she'd gone I remember it well And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin And we played a game only she could win And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night Link For online discussions about Gordon Lightfoot, his music and related topics http://www.corfid.com/ Link to Gordon Lightfoot website maintained by Wayne Francis http://www.lightfoot.ca/ Link to buy Gordon Lightfoot CD's http://www.bestprices.com/cgi-bin/vli... less Tags: affair on 8th avenue gordon lightfoot tribute team 4lanestudios mylady stonewallstudios london perfume Category: Music Views: 313 Comments: 43 Added: Aug 14, 08 By: MyLady  | |  |  | | The Way I Feel 03:46Another beautiful, haunting song in the Lightfoot Series.

The Way I Feel (The Way I Feel) 3:02 The way I feel is like a robin Whose babes have flown to come no more Like a tall oak tree alone and cryin' When the birds have flown and the nest is bare Now a woman lord is like a young bird And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart Among his boughs you will find her nesting When the nights are cool she is warm and dry Your coat of green it will protect her Her wings will grow your love will too But all too soon your mighty branches Will cease to hold her and she'll fly from you Now the way I feel is like a robin Whose babes have flown to come no more Like a tall oak tree alone and cryin’ When the birds have flown and the nest is bare When the birds have flown and the nest is bare Link For online discussions about Gordon Lightfoot, his music and related topics http://www.corfid.com/ Link to Gordon Lightfoot website maintained by Wayne Francis http://www.lightfoot.ca/ Link to buy Gordon Lightfoot CD's http://www.bestprices.com/cgi-bin/vli... less Tags: the way i feel gordon lightfoot tribute team 4lanestudios stonewallstudios oak robin baby tree Category: Pets & Animals Views: 210 Comments: 43 Added: Jul 17, 08 By: MyLady  | |  |  | | Spin Spin 02:32There could be only one subject for this wonderful Gordon Lightfoot song – a spider’s web. You must admit that there’s nothing quite as magical as a web when it’s intricacies are highlighted with the more...sunlight and the morning dew – except, or course, the web of Love. Spin, Spin (Sunday Concert Plus) 2:29 So fine, so fine the web you spin, I come too close and I'm caught again! In a web of wild design, I do not know what fate is mine! All the day sit and spin, You spin your web and you draw me in. Spin, spin, spin, spin! Well my daddy said when I was young, "Beware the web of love, my son, To be in love is to be insane, Make an old man groan, a young man pain!" All the day, sit and spin, You spin your web and you draw me in. Spin, spin, spin, spin! Then I did grow and the time did fly, Many a true love passed me by. And then you came like a blinding storm, I landed in your web so warm, All the day, sit and spin, You spin your web and you draw me in. Spin, spin, spin, spin! So fine, so fine the web you spin, I come too close and I'm caught again! In a web of wild desire, And I cannot control the fire! All the day sit and spin, You spin your web and you draw me in. All the day sit and spin, You spin your web and you draw me in. Spin, spin, spin, spin! Spin, spin, spin, spin!
