“If I could tell you something, I would tell you it all”

“When you get the time
Sit down and write me a letter
When you're feeling better
Drop me a lineI wanna know how it all works out
I had a feeling we were fading out
I didn't know that people faded out
That people faded out so fast
I wanna show you all the things I got inside
But you know those parts of me died
Just like us they faded out
They faded out so fast
When there was love enough left to fix it

But there it is”

“So, I am in the twilight of my youth”

“I quit drinking every night, at 1:30 A. M.”

“It's not very fashionable nowadays to have a philosophy that demands a lot of life. I tend to be drawn to people who are emotional - now they'd be called 'crazy'. Pollock, Jasper Johns, Toulouse-Lautrec. People said, 'They're off their nut!' Was Faulkner off his nut because he stayed in his house for eight months at a time writing books, and then you'd find him drunk up in a tree, making out with some old black woman? I think that's fuckin' great!”

“I've got maybe five or ten jean jackets with jeans. I can pack three to four pairs of denim jeans, five T-shirts, ten Western-style shirts, and two ties and just buy socks when I get there. That, a Walkman, two books, and some records, and I'm out the door for a year. Not a problem. Doesn't freak me out at all. Usually, if you're thinking about your clothes too much, you're probably not high enough.”

“Bring you down, can't bring you down
Bring you down, can't hear the sound
Run through the river and head to town
Pretty little moon with it's head hung down
Chin up. Cheer up.”

“Do you remember stormy winter?
Well button up your coat, one's comin' soon”

“Walking through a star field covered in lights”

“All the sweetest winds they blow across the south”

“The night destroys the sun”

“One night at the diner over eggs,
Over easy she showed me the length of her legs,
But that gold plated cross on her neck, it was real
And you don't get that kind of money from pushing a meal.”

“Words may move but they’re never moving fast enough”

“You didn't see us, nothing can free us”

“Daylight comes and exposes”

“If I had a reed made of lightening I could blow the sax all night… I don't know where one would acquire a reed made of lightening but I would imagine that Bill Clinton has one.”

“They carved your name into a stone and then they put it in the ground.
I run my fingers through the grooves when no one's around,
Drink till I'm sick and I talk to myself in the dog days of the summer.
Then I feel you coming but I don't know how…”

“Bad nights lead to better days”

“I'm sort of planting Post-It notes all over my psyche. Do not skateboard wasted. Do not buy $10,000 rugs. Be careful what you say to journalists. You don't have to stay up until 7 A. M.”

“I feel just like a mapWithout a single place to go of interestAnd I'm further north than southIf I could shut my mouthShe'd probably like this.”

“Sleep now and your angels will come, dear”

“Well we can't be strong”

“The night plays games”
