This is one of my remaining conquest. I hope there is still time

It's cold outside And the paint's peeling off of my walls There's a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette Now the light fades out And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this There's a knock on the door And just for a second I thought I remembered you So now I'm alone Now I can think for myself About little deals And issues And things that I just don't understand Like a white lie that night Or a slight touch at times I don't think it meant anything to you So I open the door It's the 'friend' that I'd left in the hallway Please sit down A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed You know I hate to ask But, are 'friends' electric? Mine's broke down And now I've no one to love So I find out your reason For the phone calls and smiles And it hurts And I'm lonely And I should never have tried And I missed you tonight So it's time to leave You see this means everything to me

So I found out your reasons For the phone calls and smiles And it hurts And…

Gary has got better as the years have passed, he can now only be considered as a serious contender to 'the greatest musician of 'modern times' , in my view better than Elvis and Bolan, but about equal with Bill Monroe the founder of Bluegrass!

Nnnuuummmaaannn

I just don't like these "jaunty" arrangements. I've never heard one better than that basic sawtooth grind of the original.

Too dancy version
