Back in the old B&P days I got this exact version from another Trader, it included This song, People People and Blue Water Baboon Farm, and #34 with lyrics. One of the best 'gifts" I ever received.
Oh searching tired of love grown up, now it all falls out Oh lovely dreamer - magic prince - swoop you up, swoop you up But no no i, just one guess - man at all While I grow up, came your way Nobody's so special in this way, nobody to sweep you away Oh light, oh light come and lift me up Oh light please come lift me up Oh sweet light come lift me up When you go down remember your steps As a baby rememberin' how he walked Rememberin' all the sweetest dreaming you did While you tick-tock along, but now all gone There's nothing here for your dream but hope in a song Just like the bent back of an old woman that you know It's all gone and severed and alone, so I rhyme So now all you see is sad All look the same as the wall inside She feels swallowed up, she feels tired as she could Creepin' along this wall And this wall it's so long It's a wall, and lips they're alone Sweet lips they've lost their way a while Like the bent back of an old woman What's true that way? What's true, hey way? I came crying to you, came on my knees Begging father lift me up please But no as I came down, no flowered sound Just emptiness in side me Oh light lift me up, please lift me up Come down and pick me up already Forgive me all my selfish ways sweet light Pick me up from my misery I'm gonna get away - I'm back to you The way that I do The way that I picture you The way that I picture you Lift me up, from the bottom to the top Lift me up, sweet light Lift me up, from the bottom to the top Lift me up, sweet light Lift me up, bottom to the top Lift me up, sweet light Lift me up, from the bottom to the top Lift me up, sweet light
I just lost my job, and found out that i was denied unemployment benefits this morning. I have listened to this song probably 15 times now and i think i am starting to feel better. While feeling cornered sometimes it only takes something as simple as a song like this to heal your mind..
Wow, this is beautiful Roi's pennywhistle towards the end was almost subliminal, and so haunting now that he's gone to heaven. "Light come and lift me up". RIP Leroi. Your light will shine on us forever.
pukang-you know about the legend since me and mullen and bubby john were young,and prince Charles-I am hurting over larry mullen so hard and jfk jr and his kennedy wangdangkookoos subjugating me ,please tell mullen not to smoke or he'll forget my love-tell him the legend is not over he's the inspiration for the jumbi lounge! he's my big jumbi that's in my soul
i've shown this to at least 3 people, and every one of them has cried, including myself. And to think he only played it once and was lyrically improvised......why aren't more people like Dave?
keep it to yourself. Why do you people think its ok to push your beliefs on somebody? or for that matter, why do you think anybody cares what you have to say! KEEP. IT. TO. YOURSELF.
This second version of LLMU is really a huge improvement over the first version. I would love to hear the third version known to have been played at another soundcheck, but no one seems to have a tape of it. Also, from a guitarist's point of view, this song is a little similar to the new song Snow Outside.
i love this!!! of the 876 dmb and D&T songs i have, never before have i heard this beautiful song. please fan, if you could let me know how to get a copy of this. i will message you my email just in case u might want to share any info. regardless, thanks for posting!
@dmandtm We went to Alpine Valley and then both Chicago shows...not a fan of Mraz... The Zac Brown band was pretty awesome at Alpine though!!! I'm seriously considering flying to Vegas this year to see Dave and Tim!!
@amberandemily at least you have got to see them.................. dont get nowhere close to where i live.................. i weep daily for fear that i may never get to see them
@smokeemtony20 Saw them in Chicago ....sadly, I agree with you. Jason Mraz is okay--but definitely not even close to a good opener for Dave...both nights were mediocre. Now, The Zac Brown Band was AWESOME with Dave at Alpine this year.
I prefer this version more than the first soundcheck version known. It really is a nice jam song. The fingering of the song is very similar to #40. This would be a perfect opener for a nice quiet song.
If you were a dmb fan in the 2000’s you’d know why this song is justifiably called rare. You had to know where to look to get your hands on this back in like 2003. So yeah it’s not rare anymore but it probably still has that reputation amongst those of us that were around back then You’d be the coolest dmb fan at your high school with the bitter blues and lost acoustics cd-r’s lol
