2. Lover Lay Down - Dave Matthews Band

If you’re looking for a band that sounds better live than they do in the recording studio, go see Dave Matthews and his mates in concert.  You won’t be sorry.  Part of the charm of Dave’s lyrics is in the poetic manner in which he orders his words.  I'd like to blame it on his South African education, but I don't believe that you can learn to write or even play like this...nay, it just comes naturally.

“Spring sweet rhythm
Dance in my head
Slip into
My lover's hands.
Kiss me.
Oh, won't you kiss me now?
And sleep I would
Inside your mouth.”


"Don't be us too shy
For knowing it's no big surprise
That I will wait for you.
I will wait for no one but you."

“Could I love you?
Could you love me?”

This is dedicated to the man who’ll eventually win my heart, wherever he may be.  And so, I shall wait for him, however long it may take.
