crying for company
i ll free you in my dreams
I will miss your company, crying for company Rickie, still crying
I ll see you in another life now, i m still crying

I ll be looking for company, i ll imagine what you d say, not like you
I ll free you in my dreams, i m still crying for company
look and listen
Still crying, through the years
conversations to share
Still crying, someday you may hear me, but we ll never
But when i reach across the galaxy, i ll remenber you too clearly
And i know i ll never have this chance again, i ll imagine what you d say
I ll remenber you too clearly, i ll be looking for company
I m still crying for company, no not like you Company, but i ll survive another day
I m still crying, i ll see you in another life now
and i know i ll never have this chance again
I m still crying for company, i ll be looking for company
I m still crying, i ll see you in another life now
and i know i ll never have this chance again
Never be the same, i m still crying, i will miss your company
I ll see you in another life now, i ll free you in my dreams
crying for company
Crying for company, so now you re going off to live your life
i ll be looking for company
conversations to share
i will miss your company
Crying for company, i ll imagine what you d say
not like you
I will miss your company, i ll be looking for company
Not like you, listen to me
I ll be looking for company, listen to me
i m still crying for company
you say we ll meet each other now and then
crying for company
i ll free you in my dreams
when there s no one there
Someday you may hear me, never be the same, conversations to share
i m still crying for company
I m still crying, listen to me
i ll free you in my dreams
I ll be looking for company, but when i reach across the galaxy
I ll see you in another life now, i ll be looking for company, still crying
i ll see you in another life now
But we ll never, no not like you, i ll see you in another life now
Still crying, i ll imagine what you d say
i will miss your company
someday you may hear me
crying for company
you say we ll meet each other now and then
But we ll never, crying for company
i will miss your company
crying for company
When I broke up with my gf many years ago, the song Company had such a huge effect on me. It helped me understand how sad I would be for my whole life if I let her get away. So I asked her to marry me. We were married for 25 years. The happiest time of my life. Breast cancer took her from me 3 years ago. Now the song has new meaning. Thank you RLJ.
I want this song played at my funeral. I love it so much. The chords are very unique and difficult to imitate as a pianist. And her singing is nothing less than angelic. Very spiritual.
This is the type of artist that I think of when I see the current crop of pop divas and their videos. Thank God for artists like Rickie Lee Jones, Bonnie Raitt, Annie Lennox, Linda Ronstandt, Debra Harry, Pat Benatar...B52's. Excuse me. I got carried away ;)
This song perfectly describes the way I felt when I looked at a man with whom I was deeply in love; and I also felt certain that the relationship couldn't last. I was mourning in advance for what I knew would be a deeply painful breakup. We battled it out for 4 years, and yes, the ending was devastating. There has never been a more brilliant debut than Rickie Lee's.
Old wounds, thought forgotten... guess we have to live with them like notches in
the tree - for would we ever wish not to have felt that love, to have been in that
company....
My little brother Eric said to me have you ever heard of Rickie Lee & I told him I hadn't & he told me you have to here this girl sing! he handed me her album and said at least listen to one song called Company, well, I never did until after his tragic death, killed by a drunk driver. Some time after I rememberd his wish and put on Company and listened to it, there's nothing that has ever touched me more than my girl Rickie Lee and her song Company, just listen to the words and you'll understand why its just to hard for to listen to! Love you Rickie! & forever, you Eric R.I.P.
This is so vivid for music. Such clarity and zero confusion about how you should feel. Rickie can just reach down caress your soul. Feeling sad never felt so good....
'Company' has been a part of my life since the album came out in 1979. I've turned to it at many pivotal moments in my life. It captures the feeling of loss and an endless internal connection so eloquently.
For those who have been deeply in love. The tears fall freely; takes hold of the old wounds in the heart.... the sweet sadness... I will always miss your company... thank you Rickie
Tied with Last Chance Texaco for favorite cut of mine on her debut album. An intensely bittersweet memoir of love lost which continues to move me, 30+ years after I first heard it.
And I'm still cryin'...
I began listening to Rickie Lee Jones when I was twelve. (forty years ago). My older sister turned me on to her. She was 16 and my life source. I grieved when she left. Our family was so fractured. Everything hurt. I learned to grieve so many losses with Rickie Lee speaking and singing in beautiful one of a kind tones. There is only one RLJ sound. I am amazed at how I relied on her through the decades. She is brilliance in my ears and soul. Thank you Rickie.
I lost my father in 1979.I always think of him when I hear this song. I was 15 and I regret being a rebellious teenager. I hope he knows how much I love him.
