Quotes thumb|Steve Forbert Jackrabbit Slim (1979) Meet me in the middle of the dayLet me hear you say, "Everything's okay"Bring me southern kisses from your roomMeet me in the middle of the nightLet me hear you say, "Everything's alright"Let me smell the moon in your perfume... Oh, Gods and years will rise and fallAnd there's always something moreLost in talk, I waste my timeAnd it's all been said before... Romeo's Tune There's a lightThere's a fire shiningDay and nightIt came burning throughShine on meShine on down you keep meHigh and dryI'm in love with you I'm in Love With You Wait till the sidewalk shivers the beggarsRobbed in their blankets they try to hang onLight from the street lane seems to shine better After the autumn has been here and gone... God help the lost and lonely, God help the poorCold days and ice nights onlyHard times for sure, hard times for sure Wait You know you make your own decisions and you live the life you chooseI watch it from the sidelines and it sure gives me the bluesYou know you're sure to find me waiting, should you ever come around Sadly Sorta Like a Soap Opera Waking up and trying to think, what went down, what'd we do?I rub my eyes and I shake my head and feel the sunPlane takes off on the old runway, snow fell light on the ground today Lost an hour that I gained before, headed back to my New York door. Fare thee well, adios, adieu and best of luck to all of you I ain't no saint and I don't pretend to be, but I hope you all found a friend in meCity lights blink and shine, down below, let it changeIt's often said that life is strange, oh yes, but compared to what?
