Friday Tunes - They're dead, Jim.

YARN | I'm not dead I'm not dead | Monty Python and the Holy ...
 
Tom Petty is my all time favorite. I still remember driving down Main Street when I heard about his death on the radio.

 
These may be the greatest lyrics ever written. I appreciate that Rich was as screwed up as me.

Well, it took the hand of God Almighty
To part the waters of the sea
But it only took one little lie
To separate you and me
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are

And they say that one day Joshua
Made the sun stand still in the sky
But I can't even keep these thoughts of you from passing by
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are

We are frail, we are fearfully and wonderfully made
Forged in the fires of human passion
Choking on the fumes of selfish rage
And with these our hells and our heavens
So few inches apart
We must be awfully small
And not as strong as we think we are

And the Master said their faith was
Gonna make them mountains move
But me, I tremble like a hill on a fault line
Just at the thought of how I lost you
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are

We are frail, we are fearfully and wonderfully made
Forged in the fires of human passion
Choking on the fumes of selfish rage
And with these our hells and our heavens
So few inches apart
We must be awfully small
And not as strong as we think we are

And if you make me laugh
I know I could make you like me
'Cause when I laugh I can be a lot of fun
But if we can't do that I know that it is frightening
What I don't know is why we can't hold on
We can't hold on

It took the hand of God Almighty
To part the waters of the sea
But it only took one little lie
To separate you and me
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are

When you love you walk on the water
Careful you don't stumble on them waves
We all want to go there something' awful
But to stand there it takes some grace

Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
