MAID OF CONSTANT SORROW:
So these two homos walk into a bar, see….oh wait, sorry, that’s the next post.
gotcha,
thanks, ok, from Judy Collins to Ella at Duke’s Place-
I
have almost everything a human could desire
cars
and houses and bearskin rugs to light before my fire
but
there’s something missing
something
isn’t there
it
seems I’m never kissing the one whom I could care for
I
want something
to
live for
someone
to make my life
an
adventurous dream
ohhhhhhhhh
what
I'd
give for someone to take my life and make it seem
gay
as they say it ought to be
why
can’t I have love like that brought to me
my
eye is watching the new crowd
searching
the promenades
seeking
a clue
to
the one
who
will someday
be
my
something
to live for
I
want something to live for
