“you dont know what you got till its gone”

“Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone.”

“people will tell you were they have gone, they'll tell you where to go, but until you get there for yourself you never really know.”

“You've got to shake your fists at lightning now, you've got to roar like forest fireYou've got to spread your light like blazes all across the skyThey're going to aim the hoses on you, show 'em you won't expireNot till you burn up every passion, not even when you dieCome on now, you've got to try, if you're feeling contempt, well then you tell itIf you're tired of the silent night, Jesus, well then you yell itCondemned to wires and hammers, strike every chord that you feelThat broken trees and elephant ivories conceal”

“But you know it's hard to tellWhen you're in the spell if it's wrong or if it's realBut you're bound to loseIf you let the blues get you scared to feel”

“Just before our love got lost you said"I am as constant as a northern star"And I said, constantly in the darkness,Where's that at?If you want me I'll be in the bar.”

“It's life's illusions that I recall, I really don't know life at all”
