That's another great song concept lyrically - I mean an original. Maybe the problem with lady is that she's into the dark and doesn't see you dancing in the Light?! 
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#17: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#69: Bring consciousness to it.
#74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Ray,
Thanks so much. No special treatment on the vocals - I just sang in a slightly higher key than I normally do.
Would love to hear some of your early songs.
Bob

Ah, and he isn't you either, Bob Dean. Man, I love those lyrics. So relatable. What a good write. You should visit those notebooks more often.

Great song Bob!! If I ever get a chance I will have to do a full on Bruce impersonation just for laughs.  Thanks for planting this seed in my head. Maybe I will call it I am Bruce. Long ago I was at a Bruce Springsteen concert and my brother and I got locked out of the gate inside the auditorium because we went to get a soda. We were standing there and the security guard told us there was no way we could get back in and we're about to burst into tears and then another guy came up and stood right beside me in a black leather jacket and said hey man the same thing happened to me you got to let me in man cause the show is about to start. And I turned around and looked and I was like oh my God. And the security guy was like who the hell are you?? And the guy said I'm Bruce. I'm Bruce Springsteen. And the security guard was like oh yeah sure you are. And then part of his crew came running up and went: he's telling the truth, that's Bruce Springsteen man, he needs to get on stage. And the security guard was like oh my God I'm so sorry it's the boss. As it turns out Bruce had gone to the public concession stand too to get a soda along with all the commoners and he took the wrong way back and got locked out just like us. And they opened the door for Springsteen and then Springsteen looked at the security guard and jerked his thumb towards my brother and me and said they're with me, and we went on in. I think I need to write a funny song about that.

What a cool rediscovery, Bob. Bud said he wished he could find one like that. The pretty fingerpicked guitar is such a perfect choice for supporting the “I’m not Bruce” fact. Vocal and mix sound great. We hope you find more of these lost gems! J&B

That's a really nice sounding ballad!
The chorus is really memorable and hangs around awhile! I always enjoy your songs Bob!

I see you had the knack for the lyrical hook 47 years ago. I really like the chorus. Cool picking acoustic.

Clever! Just to let you know all of us ladies speak in code. It's a hard truth that men just have to deal with.

Hi Bob,
You said you started writing songs in '76.
Ray said he did too. I did in '74. So we all were close in time...
Your lyrics are wonderful (again). You still have that talent that started in that year.
When I started listening, I already loved that first line. And I read Gayle doing that too.
Girls speak in code, but we still manage to understand them. Once in a while...
A very nice song. The use of the acoustic is very good.
It's a pitty the vocals are getting older too, but on the other hand they can give that extra emotion.
And your vocals did that.
Hans
