Expecting Rain

Lovely album. Tell Me That It Isn't True is a big favorite.
audacious move by him at the time, no?

Yup. Agreed, Giada. Lyrics:
I have heard rumors all over town
They say that you’re planning to put me down
All I would like you to do
Is tell me that it isn’t true

They say that you’ve been seen with some other man
That he’s tall, dark and handsome, and you’re holding his hand
Darlin’, I’m a-countin’ on you
Tell me that it isn’t true

To know that some other man is holdin’ you tight
It hurts me all over, it doesn’t seem right

All of those awful things that I have heard
I don’t want to believe them, all I want is your word
So darlin’, you better come through
Tell me that it isn’t true

All of those awful things that I have heard
I don’t want to believe them, all I want is your word
So darlin’, I’m countin’ on you
Tell me that it isn’t true

Smart of Dylan, Inc. to renew the copyrights!

After listening to Blonde on Blonde all weekend, I put this on in the car yesterday and it's been on repeat ever since. I needed it after that much BoB. How perfect that the first new composition on the album has no words? And could be called something like, "Feelin' Fine!" or "Things are Swell!" What a happy little record this is.

Went for a family drive last night and this was in the player--thought I'd try to slip it past my wife--she loves Bob's voice around '62-63...and some 70s stuff. Probably made it a few seconds into I Threw it All Away before she complained. "Turn that Kermit the Frog Sh*t off. Anything else. He sounds awful." So I put on Christmas in the Heart. "Thanks. Much better."

Love me some Kermit.
