> These are the lyrics to a song Karla Bonoff wrote and sang. It's stuck in my brain today. It's a beautifully sad song.

> There's somebody waiting alone in the street
> For someone to walk up and greet
> Here you are all alone in the city
> Where's the love that you took to your side
> Lonely faces will stare through your eyes in the night

> And they'll say
> Woman sweet woman
> Please come home with me
> You're shining and willing and free
> But your love is a common occurrence
> Not like love that I feel in my heart
> Still you know that may be what I need
>
> Is someone to lay down beside me
> And even though it's not real
> Just someone to lay down beside me
> You're the story of my life

> Someone to lay down beside me
> And even though it's not real
> Just someone to lay down beside me
> You're the story of my life

> The morning is breaking
> The street lights are off
> The sun will soon share all the cost
> Of a world that can be sort of heartless
> Not like love that I feel in my heart
> Still you know that may be all you'll get
>
> Is someone to lay down beside you
> And even though it's not real
> Just someone to lay down beside you
> You just can't ask for more
I have that album as well as the Linda Ronstadt version of that song. It has always moved me so much. It's so honest and desperate and yet beautiful. What more can I say?
