Little Thing |

"so, um, so we've been doing this, uh, this tour, what i guess this is our |
|
Fifth show we've done, tim and i, and, uh... (applause) and, uh, so this little |
|
Song has been growing out, uh, while we've been playing, sort of a little |
|
Story. and the little story i was in new york city and, uh, i was walking down |
|
The street. trying to find the place i was going (i can't remember where i was |
|
Going now). 'cause i met this girl and i asked her directions, you know. and |
|
She was, she was tiny, you know. she, she wasn't young, she was just tiny. and, |
|
Uh, so i asked her directions and she said, 'oh that's the way down there, walk |
|
Over there, go down there, you walk over there, and you go down there and then |
|
You're there.' something like that, anyway. so, uh, but i walked about ten |
|
Paces away and i was thinking... daaamn, that girl was fine. and, oh, i turned |
|
Around to tell her so, and ask her maybe her name, or maybe if we should go and |
|
Get a cup of, who knows, coffee or something. and i'm sure if i turned around |
|
And find |
|
Her there i would have found out something... |
|
But she talked so good |
|
But when i turned around, she was gone |
|
Oh, she was gone |
|
I didn't even get her name, oh |
|
I thought, goddamn |
|
With your face in my mind |
|
And your voice in my ears |
|
To echoes |
|
Oh, i bought a lovely flower |
|
Standing there, we met that day |
|
And hope that you would return |
|
But, no, no, no |
|
I can't remember where i was going |
|
But i can't remember where i was leading to |
|
Or what led me to you, but |
|
Oh, and the weight is all through my head |
|
The look of you, the sound |
|
The way you cackled at me |
|
From then and then, i didn't know where i was going |
|
But always i cry |
|
And so, hey, oh |
|
The hands that pour my hands on you again |
|
Hey, i will beg you, i'll beg, oh |
|
See me, please find me again |
|
Oh, i'm lost again |
|
I sit here drinking coffee |
|
Or water depending the time of day |
|
But, oh, you're with me like a ghost of a mother |
|
Oh, you're with me like the pain of a father |
|
Oh, i wish i, i wish i could call you something |
|
Other than the girl that i saw then |
|
But, hey, i think that i would recognize you in a second |
|
But, hey, i only saw you for a minute, maybe less |
|
I don't hold my hand where |
|
But i waited, honest |
|
I'm lost now, i'm lost now |
|
I can't remember what i used to be |
|
But, oh, hey, yeah, weighted by the memory of |
|
The memory of a love that never got born, but hey |
|
Oh, hey |
|
Do i even cross your mind lately |
|
With more than just a laughing |
|
Did you think as you walked away, maybe |
|
You were, hey |
|
Oh, i hope you did |
|
So, hey, yeah |
|
You would, you would have been feeling |
|
The same thing as i am know |
|
"thank you very much." |
|
Speaking to tim: "let's try to think of some other song..." interrupted by fans |
|
Requesting songs. |
|
(southern accent)"but we, but we done already done it, done it then! (switches |
|
To pseudo-homosexual voice) that'd be like, you know, like, um, sing and sing, |
|
And then not sing it for a little while, and then sing it again. and people |
|
Would be like, 'why'd he sing that again?'" |
