Paul Zimmerman, Getty Images ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Music mogul Russell Simmons…
everything has its own time and a place, we were meant to mee
Just like the changeing seasons. We met for a reason, what that is we may never know.if we make each other happy thats what its all about.
I'm glad I met you and can laugh have fun with you,
Here is a classic, " You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"
Here I stand, head in hand, turn my face to the wall...
if she's gone, I can't go on, feelin two foot small...
I love Fiona Apple.

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night ..."

How about :"I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt"; or "Busted flat in Baton Rouge and heading for the train";or "If you hurt me, you won't be the first or the last in a lifetime of many mistakes"? Classics!
