...when I can't tell my pillow from a stone...

That link'll get you annotated lyrics, which is helpful "Black Muddy River" Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia Copyright Ice Nine Publishing; used by permission. When the last rose of summer pricks my finger And the hot sun chills me to the bone When I can't hear the song for the singer And I can't tell my pillow from a stone I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain And the stars start to splatter in the sky When the moon splits the southwest horizon With the scream of an eagle on the fly I will walk alone by the black muddy river And listen to the ripples as they moan I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own Black muddy river Roll on forever I don't care how deep or wide If you got another side Roll muddy river Roll muddy river Black muddy river roll When it seems like the night will last forever And there's nothing left to do but count the years When the strings of my heart start to sever And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears I will walk alone by the black muddy river And dream me a dream of my own I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own And sing me a song of my own Bruce Hornsby does a great version of it on his live CD.

I miss Jerry singing that tune... it would nearly bring tears to my eyes in concert. I get emotional on mushrooms you know.

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung

Yep,
JG Dun us proud. Always a little something more than you expect, or can explain with mere reference to the pharmaceuticals ingested "If I had taken my Dr.'s advice and quit smoking when he advised me to, I wouldn't have lived to go to his funeral." -George Burns
