Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well, my only true one.
All the birds that were singing
Are flown except you alone...

Since it costs a lot to win
Even more to lose
You and me bound to spend some time
Wonderin' what to choose.

So, I've been wondering lately if it will even be possible to pass along any of the wonder, mystery and wisdom to which we were all privy in that time.

Often I think back and miss it. Not so much the simplistic, sappy stuff but definitely the thrill of looking around through eyes just beginning to open.

The opening of the eyes goes on, of course, but that tingly and new sense of question and freedom is missed.

thanks Mr V

Saw them in Cleveland [Public Hall] in the 70's having never heard them before

Car broke down, we were late. Sat down, listened for 5 minutes

Awed. Still so. The line about the "fountain" is so beautiful. RIP Mr G

It took many years to figure out how to get off that Merry-Go-Round. "Too soon to old, too late too schmart"

I thought you were talking about the wine!

The Dawning of the Age of Aquarius, uh?

Dawn: bad news comes early, and the sun meets it halfway.
