No one can take your place with me
When time has proven that I'm right
There's no place I'd rather be
Than at your place for the night
No time can pass your sight unseen
No moment steals away unfound
A lifetime lived in such a dream
Floats like a feather to the ground
And for the first time I've been seeing
The things I'd never notice
Without you
And for the first time I've been seeing

The first time I'm discovering
The things I used to treasure
About you
The birds like leaves on winter wood
Sing hopeful songs on dismal days
They've learned to live life as they should
They are at peace with nature's ways
You are as natural as the night
And all that springs from you is good
And the children born beneath you
Your life
Are like the birds on winter wood
And for the first time I've been seeing
The things I'd never notice
Without you
And for the first time I'm discovering
The things I used to treasure
About you
There are probably a lot of people out there
Who think that a situation like this
Having a concert recorded
And having people in the room to listen to it
Is unnatural
And they're right
But I guess there are a lot of unnatural things
That we've grown to take for granted
And I think that's a good thing




Perhaps that isn't always a good thing
I used to like to go to nightclubs
Every so often I'd sneak down
And look and see what's happening
But more and more I think there are
Fewer places where people can learn music
And just love it, you know
I was lucky in the sense that
I had people to learn from
Who had been playing music for many, many years
Before I could learn music for a long time
Before they either died or quit
Or something
I guess a long time ago
People didn't get so famous as fast
As they do these days
You think about fame
It's sort of like the man who was
Run out of town tarred and feathered
And carried out on a rail
And he asked, well, what's it like?
And he said, well, if it weren't for the honor thing
Other thing I might do is
Just as well have walked
This is a song that I learned from Josh White
Who was one of the first people
I ever learned guitar from a long time ago
I used to play it in his nightclub act
It's called Where Were You Baby When My Heart Went Out
And I've tried to keep the guitar
Pretty much the way he used to do it
Because it's fun, first of all
Trying to play the way he did
Also, it hurts your fingers
It hurts your fingers
