I’ve been saving messages
I’ve been saving messages
I don’t know when they’ll call again
Taking mental images
I’ve been saving messages
I’ve been decking out my place
Potted plants, bespoke bookcase
Pages of the ages I’ll never be
Painted a wall, oh did you see
I’ve been decking out my place
Close your eyes and dream a dream
Where people never die
Where people never die
Does it change the meaning?
I’ve been calling restaurants
Just to see what specials they’ve got
I don’t order anything
It’s quite rude, and I should stop
I’ve been calling restaurants
I close my eyes and count to three
Or ten, or sometimes more
Tried sitting on the floor
Saying the same thing over and over
A phrase once gifted or possibly lifted
From an Americana Dalai Lama
If someone chants it too
Does it change the meaning?
Running out of memory
Relying on summary
Must conserve my energy
What a lovely century
The thought of you hit me again
I’ve been saving messages

What a great treat! Brings me back to 1998, a much simpler time. My girlfriend (now wife) and I saw you at McCarter Theater back then and we still remember it fondly. Thanks so much for sharing this concert! egordon99
