But everything burned, and come back to you Forbert, but everything burned
and id walk out in time
If i were a god, you re thinking you ve found the one special place
you think you can wish
you re thinking you ve found the one special place
It isn t gonna be that way, you think you can wish
it isn t gonna be-----that way
I came on my own, it isn t gonna be-----that way
You re thinking you ve found the one special place, it isn t gonna be that way
Youll just have to live and see, i thought i was king
And come back to you, what you find
you ve traveled so far
and build a new plan
And walk through the gate, think you can live
i had to turn back
and id walk out in time
This minute would crack, where all your dreams will walk out in line
this minute would crack
It isn t gonna be-----that way, think you can live, and come back to you
and id go through
In mine youth ala ca 17-18 i moved to Oslo. And bought this lp. and playd it again and again, Not my best english. you understand i hope. . Love it then and love it now after ca 38 years.
Beautiful version of one of his best songs. The organ, guitar solo and emotional harmonica playing are superb. Saw him in Amsterdam a week ago and he hasn't lost any of his magic.
I saw him solo live in Belfast for the first time (shame on me!) 3 days ago, just sooo very good. Made the hair stand on the back of my neck. Shook his hand after the gig, a real honor. A true troubadour..
Remember seeing this on The Old Grey Whistle Test and thought to myself, "that man has talent" I am not a country or folk type of music lover. But when a man writes words and plays music with such feeling and emotion you would be stupid not to appreciate him. Trawling through You tube and found this . It brought memories flooding back and now I am older and I hope a little wiser I still think Steve Forbert is very underrated.
I don’t see Dylan, rather, Neil Young, with similar passion in the eyes
This was my anthem of unrequited love in ‘78
Now a requiem for unfulfilled dreams at 61
He makes his harmonica sob
