Put my soul on edge, my heart is heavy
And freed by my will, sent them to you in a blue envelope, not received
My heart is heavy, the reasons why Gallagher, we ll meet again
lay heavy in my head
Too many sleepless nights, but my chance Overnight, not received
just can t be supplied
hear my plea
packed my sorrows in an overnight bag
i had some things that i wanted to say
A toothbrush and guitar, too many sleepless nights
got no tail to drag
not received
mind full of notions
put my soul on edge
Who knows when, hear my plea, on the next passing breeze
Sent them to you in a blue envelope, mind full of notions
my heart is heavy
But my chance, sent them to you in a blue envelope Overnight, i had some things that i wanted to say
The reasons why, so much time to kill, lay heavy in my head
Trapped by a heartache, my heart is heavy, and i sealed them in hope
got no tail to drag
We ll meet again, i had some things that i wanted to say, but my chance
Packed my things in an overnight bag, wrote down my thoughts
hear my plea
wrote down my thoughts
trapped by a heartache
and so many restless moods
And so many restless moods, got no tail to drag Bag, just can t be supplied
packed my sorrows in an overnight bag
i had some things that i wanted to say
Too many sleepless nights, on the breeze
sent them to you in a blue envelope
A toothbrush and guitar, but i ll be gone much longer than that, it seems to me
Hear my plea, lay heavy in my head
And so many restless moods, it seems to me Rory, and so many restless moods
And freed by my will, on the breeze, so much time to kill
A toothbrush and guitar, on the breeze, put my soul on edge
Sent them to you in a blue envelope, that i just can t explain
just can t be supplied
packed my things in an overnight bag
Trapped by a heartache, put my soul on edge
And i sealed them in hope, we ll meet again
It seems to me, that i just can t explain
And rescue me, hear my plea
The reasons why, put my soul on edge, and freed by my will
mind full of notions
Well it just blew away, that i just can t explain
Put my soul on edge, packed my things in an overnight bag, so much time to kill
got no tail to drag
put my soul on edge
Rory walks on a higher plain than all his contemporaries, he had feel, soul & never sold out. Vai, Satriani may have taken guitar to incredible technical levels but give me Rory every time especially when you consider he was playing with this virtuosity before they were even born. It's nice that slash & May cite him as a big influence
Rory had it all- songwriting talent, guitar innovator, looks, superior work ethic, and a gentle attitude. He lived the "rock and roll dream" kids my age aspired to. He truly enjoyed his work; his bliss. No glitter, no glam, no gimmicks.
one of the most beautifully soulfull blues tracks you will ever hear. the guitar is uplfting throughout. Rorys feel is untouchable, . he was a magical musician and guitar genius .
I don't know what it is. I suppose I can't put it into words. Gallagher has something that many other good guitarists don't have. He's an excellent guitarist and a real person, not a showman. He plays with fun and touches me. He's my life companion. I couldn't say that about any other superguitarist
ABSOLUTELY HE IS THE GREATEST EVER. RORY CAN NOT be bested for versatility, virtuosity, feel - all real guitarists would site him as the best. I love his feel & chops to die for; being a muso & music teacher; he WAS different. He's a better player than any of the Vais, Satches. Slashs' who l dig; but there is ONLY ONE RORY GALLAGHER. He actually plays CHORDS too ( differently); like the jazz guys; THATS RIGHT! RORY RULES!!
Packed my things in an overnight bag,
A toothbrush and guitar, got no tail to drag.
Gonna leave, on the next passing breeze.
My heart is heavy, as a sky full of rain,
Mind full of notions, that I just can't explain.
The reasons why, just can't be supplied.
Trapped by a heartache, and freed by my will,
Sentenced to wander, so much time to kill,
Hear my plea, and rescue me.
Packed my sorrows in an overnight bag,
But I'll be gone much longer than that,
Who knows when, we'll meet again?
Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge,
And so many restless moods, lay heavy in my head.
Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge,

Wrote down my thoughts, and I sealed them in hope,
Sent them to you in a blue envelope,
Not received, it seems to me.
I had some things that I wanted to say,
But my chance, well it just blew away,
On the breeze, like some mystery.
Never fails to bring tears to my eyes whenever I listen to this track. Gone forever but will never ever be forgotten. The one and only Rory Gallagher. No one like him since. Thank you, lad, and rest in eternal peace. Much love from your loyal fans worldwide.
the guitar so beautifully cries at the end of this awesome tune, i have to stop whatever i am doing to allow it send me.............ahhhhh im gone,xxxxx
It is one of his best ever, and certainly the best of the last phase- which started with Photo Finish and Top Priority. He had moved away from pure balls out white blues rock and into the beauty and grace and melancholy of this. It’s lovely. And 40 years old. How scary is that!
