lyrics
High on a mountain the still in the air and the blue
Cloud cotton white as it brightens the night of the view
It comes to me just as natural as the view
Swift and sure as the silence made by two
I'd be lost in this world, lost in this world without you
Boats to build and the clay in the kiln make it true
A fisherman's son stops the work he's begun on the new
He looks to the sea where this life might pass him through
And savours his dream where around the world he flew
I'd be lost as that child, lost in this world without you
I'd be lost as that child, lost in this world without you
Down on the ground there's a crowd of people laughing
And a man on the edge who stands on this ledge they've been passing
Standing alone as he lived in his life so true
He's a-living his life like a capsule like solitude
I'd be lost as that man, lost in this world without you
I'd be lost in this world, lost in this world without you
Across the square there's a choir rehearsal parting
Back off the street there's a couple slowly partying
Like that choir I could sing out too
Like the couple I would live for you
Every soul needs a task which they can do
Every soul feels the need to be half of two
I'd be lost as that soul, lost as that soul without you
Lost in this world without you
Lost in this world without you
Lost in this world,lost in this world without you
I'd be lost in this world, lost in this world without you
Cloud cotton white as it brightens the night of the view
It comes to me just as natural as the view
Swift and sure as the silence made by two
I'd be lost in this world, lost in this world without you
Boats to build and the clay in the kiln make it true
A fisherman's son stops the work he's begun on the new
He looks to the sea where this life might pass him through
And savours his dream where around the world he flew
I'd be lost as that child, lost in this world without you
I'd be lost as that child, lost in this world without you
Down on the ground there's a crowd of people laughing
And a man on the edge who stands on this ledge they've been passing
Standing alone as he lived in his life so true
He's a-living his life like a capsule like solitude
I'd be lost as that man, lost in this world without you
I'd be lost in this world, lost in this world without you
Across the square there's a choir rehearsal parting
Back off the street there's a couple slowly partying
Like that choir I could sing out too
Like the couple I would live for you
Every soul needs a task which they can do
Every soul feels the need to be half of two
I'd be lost as that soul, lost as that soul without you
Lost in this world without you
Lost in this world without you
Lost in this world,lost in this world without you
I'd be lost in this world, lost in this world without you

Sid Griffin London, UK
Yep, I'm the guy from the Americana founders the Long Ryders in 1980s L.A. & the guy in the first ever alt-bluegrass act, the Coal Porters, recently out of London. You bet make solo albums & perform singer-songwriter gigs, I’ve toured solo from London to Los Angeles to Sydney to Hong Kong to Helsinki too. Million Dollar Bash is my well-received book on The Basement Tapes and I've never met Dylan. ... more

This is equally gorgeous and rocking - just a wonderful set of songs and great performances and arrangements (and the guitar solos are perfect). As one who was only familiar with the Long Ryders music, coming across this is ear-opening...akin to hearing Gene Clark solo stuff at the first time and marveling how it equaled/bested the Byrds.
