honestly, i think this song is one of dave's most poetic. it's called Looking at You:



if i had the world to make a day for you
i'd fill each hour with praises and shower you
if i held the sun inside my hands
i'd shine it bright inside your heart

and i'd turn my praise and focus to the thought of you
and stand you there
a statue in my soul forever

i dreamed i saw you dancing and i joined you there
and spun we did in the moon's warm light

know i dreamed that they take away everything you held once and sorrowful for
i will love you like no man can and we will dance
i'll take the moon
i'll take the sun from the starry sky
and decorate your nights with light and shadow like no other can

i will dream of stealing you from all the things that bother and hurt you
you my love and only love alone

if i could make a day for you
and shadows taken all of you
and i can see my heart beat louder and my face grow warm
each time you stand by me my only love

so if you a man and family do
remember this time we only caught short view
of each other while the sun in shine
i will rake in each day and sell it to you
and sell it to you
and sell it to you my love

no captain but you my love
no king but you

i have both of them, but i have to tell you, it's not that great of a song. the lyrics are amazing, but you can barely understand anything dave is saying. if you still want them (the first one is around 11 minutes with davespeak at the beginning, the one from the night before is about 4 minutes), IM = ShaggyTad.

i think #41 is the most poetic. just my personal opinion.

satellite is pretty sweet in terms of how it refers to satellite. i think a really poetic song is say goodbye. it paints a sweet ass'd picture. 8)

which of daves songs arent really poetic anyway, its really hard to find a song that doesnt have at least one stanza in it that does hit you somewhere as ... wow... (for lack of a better word, and my awful spelling)
