I see your silver shining town, but I know I can't go there -- Your streets run deep with poisoned wine, your doorways crawl with fear.

To answer this thread i pulled out my copy of Robert Hunters Box of Rain. I figured I thumb through it till I found a lyric that ment alot to me. Wasn't long till I realized every fucking word in that book had a very deep meaning to me.
Inspiration, move me brightly Light the song with sense and color hold away despair More than this I will not ask faced with history's dark and vast statements just seem vain at last some rise some fall some climb to get to terrapin!!

I AGREE MY FRIEND!
Now what's to be found by racing around, you carry your pain wherever you go, Full of blues, and tryin' to lose, You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know.

I like your avatar, mattx. I like "I will get by. I will survive." It's simple, but it always reassures me when I hear it over and over in Touch Of Grey.

There's a few that I am fond of.

And
"Hello baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of rock and rye Farewell to you old southern sky I'm on my way - on my way"
as it goes into the solo it makes me rock out so hard I have to punch myself in the face everytime I hear it.

Well, I ain't always right but I've never been wrong. Seldom turns out the way it does in a song. Once in a while you get shown the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right.

that whole song is sooo F'in sweet
"Comes a Time" Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia Copyright Ice Nine Publishing;
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand says: don't you see? got to make it somehow on the dreams you still believe Don't give it up you've got an empty cup only love can fill only love can fill
Been walking all morning Went walking all night I can't see much difference between the dark and the light And I feel the wind And I taste the rain Never in my mind to cause so much pain
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand says: don't you see? got to make it somehow on the dreams you still believe Don't give it up you've got an empty cup only love can fill only love can fill
From day to day just letting it ride you get so far away from how it feels inside You can't let go cause you're afraid to fall till the day may come when you can't feel at all
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand says: don't you see? got to make it somehow on the things you still believe Don't give it up you've got an empty cup only love can fill only love can fill
[The following verse was sung in performance at least once, according to Brett Heisler, at the Harding Theater on 11/7/71:]
When the words come out like an angry stream You hear yourself say things you could never mean [original line is: When you cool down you find your mind] sung as When the heat goes down and you find your mind] You got a lot of words you've got to stand behind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Comes a Time" Hunter has posted the manuscript of an early draft of the song in his archives. Recorded on
Reflections Hundred Year Hall First performance: October 19, 1971, at Northrop Auditorium, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota. "Comes a Time" appeared in the first set, following the first ever "Mexicali Blues," and preceding "Playing In the Band." Other firsts in the show, which was Keith Godchaux's first, were "Tennessee Jed," "Jack Straw," "One More Saturday Night," and "Ramble On Rose." The song never made it into a permanent rotation, but reappeared periodically over the years.
