I can tell by the mark he left, you were in his dream
Ah child of countless trees
Ah child of boundless seas
What you are, what you're meant to be
Speaks his name, though you were born to me
Born to me, Cassidy
Lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac
I can tell by the way you smile, he is rolling back
Come wash the night-time clean
Come grow the scorched ground green
Blow the horn, tap the tambourine
Close the gap of the dark years in between
You and me, Cassidy
Quick beats in an icy heart
Catch colt draws a coffin cart
There he goes and now here she starts
Hear her cry
Flight of the seabirds
Scattered like lost words
Wheel to the storm and fly
Faring thee well now
Let your life proceed by its own designs
Nothing to tell now
Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine
Suzanne Nadine Vega (née Peck; born July 11, 1959) is an American singer-songwriter of folk-inspired music. Vega's music career spans almost 40 years. In the mid-1980s and 1990s she released four singles that entered the Top 40 charts in the UK, "Marlene on the Wall", "Left of Center", "Luka" and "No Cheap Thrill".
"Tom's Diner", which was originally released as an a cappella recording on Vega's second studio album, Solitude Standing (1987), was remixed in 1990 as a dance track by English electronic duo DNA with Vega as featured artist, and it became a Top 10 hit in five countries. The original a cappella recording of the song was used as a test during the creation of the MP3 format. The role of her song in the development of the MP3 compression prompted Vega to be given the title of "The Mother of the MP3".
Vega has released nine studio albums to date, the most recent being 2016’s Lover, Beloved: Songs from an Evening with Carson McCullers.
That's not how it works. Bill plays what he wants and you either listen, hit the Play Something Different button or listen to a different stream.
Seriously, why would someone post a rant (in BOLD, with CAPS, formatting, and multiple punctuation marks!!!) instead of pressing PSD?
Huh? I thought the Cassady Bob Weir (and the Dead) sings about was Neal Cassady (a.k.a. Dean Moriarty in Jack Kerouac's On the Road), Merry Prankster chauffeur extraordinaire and master stoned rapper.
But as Paul Harvey would have said, "And now for the rest of the story..."

If you don't have this album, it is worth picking up if you can find it. I got mine years ago.
Also, the album is nice to throw on at a party. The non-Deadheads won't know what hit them! :-)
I only wish I heard her every day, life would be less boring and insipid.
Would you like some cheese with that whine
