Feeling Nostalgic for the Cowboy Junkies

I don't know why but I'm feeling very nostalgic today.  So I found myself looking on the web for what was my favorite radio station when I lived in Cleveland.  In the early to mid 90's I listened to 107.9 the End, Cleveland's Modern Rock.  A year after I moved to Florida they changed formats.  Anyway, I found a link to what is left of this memory.  Then I started with the i-tunes downloads of songs that bring back so many great memories (my first apartment, college, my long lost friend Joe, and so on).  One of the songs I loved which was not really rock but more folk rock was Anniversary Song by the Cowboy Junkies.  This link will take you to the new Napster where you can listen to the whole song 3x free.  This link opens a 30 second sample in Win Media Player.  The lyrics are listed below.

I'll be on the road again tomorrow through Friday...off to Lakeland and our new warehouse.

Anniversary Song by Cowboy Junkies

"Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful
as that of the rain-soaked purple
of the white birch in spring?

Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful
than on a warm fall night
under a Mackerel sky,
the smell of grapes on the wind?

Well I have known all these things
and the joys that they can bring
And I'll share them all for a cup of coffee
and to wear your ring

Have you ever had the pleasure of watching
a quiet winter's snow slowly gathering
like simple moments adding up?
 
Have you ever satisfied a gut feeling
to follow a dry dirt road that's beckoning you
to the heart of a shimmering summer's day?

Well I have known all these things
and the joys that they can bring
And I'll share them all for a cup of coffee
and to wear your ring

And I don't know how I survived those days
before I held your hand
Well I never thought that I would be the one
to admit that the moon and the sun
shine so much more brighter when
seen through two pairs of eyes than
when seen through just one

Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful
as a face in a crowd of people
that lights up just for you?

Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful
as when you wake
by the side of that boy or girl
who has pledged their love to you?

Well I have known all these things
and the joys that they can bring
And now every morning there's a cup of coffee
and I wear your ring
"
