Townes - Delta momma blues (1971)
Fjerdeskiva til mesteren. Det er ikkje den eg snurrer mest, men det er noen låter her det oser ekstreme kvaliteter av, som
Tower song, Rake (som alltid har vært en av mine personlige favoritter), samt
Nothin'. Husker eg rett i farten, så har vel Nanci Griffith covret
Tower song, og Lucinda Williams gjort en kanonversjon av
Nothin'.
So close and yet so far away
And all the things I'd hoped to say
Will have to go unsaid today
Perhaps until tomorrow
Your fears have built a wall between
Our lives and all what loving means
Will have to go unfelt it seems
And that leaves only sorrow
You built your tower strong and tall
Can't you see, it's got to fall someday
I used to wake and run with the moon
I lived like a rake and a young man
I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds
my laughter the devil would frighten
The sun she would come and beat me back down
but every cruel day had its nightfall
I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars
full of fire and forgetful
Hey mama, when you leave
Don't leave a thing behind
I don't want nothin'
I can't use nothin'
Take care into the hall
And if you see my friends
Tell them I'm fine
Not using nothin'
Ingen over, ingen ved siden og ingen rett under
