Esau Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Rest well brother. [color:"red"]September 8 1945 - March 8 1973 What are they seeing, when they look in each other's eyes? What are they feeling, when they see each other smile? Is it love, I don't know - or an emotion that I've outgrown? Did I take a wrong turn on life's winding road? Won't somebody help me find the right way to go? My life need some correction, alteration in [and?] direction. Won't somebody stand by [comfort?] me - yes, I'm lost, yes, I'm lost, Yes, I'm lost. What is the secret of this tie that binds? [time of mine?] Two souls in communion, both body and mind. Is it special magic, or just the nature of things? Conceived of [Come see the?] great spirit, not for beggars but for kings. You who have found it please help me along. I'm a man, I'm a man, - I'm not made out of stone. My needs they are simple, I don't want anything, but I surely want to fly on those wings, on the run, one more time. All I wanna do, fly up, fly home. Fly on those wings of love, fly up, fly home, I'm a stranger [a staying?] in your town, fly up, fly home, Help me somebody please! Fly up, fly home. I wake up early in the morning, fly up, fly home, you know I never saw you babe, fly up, fly home. I just can't seem to understand, can't seem to understand what's wrong, fly up, fly home. What I wanna do is take a little ride with you, on the wings of love, woh-oh one more time, one more time.

Booche Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer, Been chippin’ up rocks for the great highway, Live five years if I take my time, Ballin’ that jack and a drinkin’ my wine. I been chippin’ them rocks from dawn till doom, While my rider hide my bottle in the other room. Doctor say better stop ballin’ that jack, If I live five years I gonna bust my back, yes I will. Easy wind cross the bayou today Cause there’s a whole lotta women, mama, Out in red on the streets today. And the rivers keep a talkin’, But you never heard a word it said. Gotta find a woman be good to me, Won’t hide my liquor try to serve me tea, Cause I’m a stone jack baller and my heart is true And I’ll give everything that I got to you, yes I will. Easy wind going cross the bayou today There’s a whole lotta women Out in red on the streets today. And the rivers keep a talkin’, But you never heard a word it said.

MarcO Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 holy freak! I've been in a Pigpen space the past day or two, digging on his tracks from "Grateful Dead: Steppin' Out" (England 1972 compilation) and then just last night, fa-reaking out to "Easy Wind" for the millionth time. I had no idea the anniversary of his passing was so close. Sometimes I think "Mr Charlie" is favorite song EVAH! thanks Pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 My favourite era of the Dead is with Pigpen as their co-frontman. He was the blues in the Dead. It was great seeing him fairly healthy in Festival Express. That man had soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superduck1 Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 " If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine, And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,Would you hear my voice come thru the music?Would you hold it near as it were your own? Truly a sad day in Grateful Dead history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
