I'm in Love With You
Pick me up, shake me out
And hang me on the line
I'm a fool for you
I looked up, saw you smile
And then I saw your eyes
I'm in love with you
You're too much for me
I'm a worn-out sail
On the sidewalk sea
There's a light
There's a fire shining day and night
It came burning through
Shine on me, shine on down
You keep me high and dry
I'm in love with you
You're too much for me
I'm a worn-out sail
On the sidewalk sea
Too many faces
Breaking aces half in two
Some guys in scarlet
Singing further down in the blues
Eyes on the sidewalk
They're ancient angry flashing true
Baby, it's too many mornings
Waking lonely cause of you
Time goes by
You break on down
You can't keep holding on
You don't know what to do
I looked up, saw you smile
I know I'm not so strong
No, and I'm in love with you
You're too much for me
I'm a worn-out sail
On the sidewalk sea
 This song somehow keeps playing in my head over and over these days. | | | |

Looks like I've happened upon another criminally-neglected singer/songwriter. I haven't missed much in the past 30 years, but I never heard of this guy. He must have been the Ron Sexsmith of the 1970s.
The music and singing sound soft and simple, but there's something more interesting happening in those lovesick, impressionist verses.
I have to go look for "Romeo's Song" now, to see if I've actually heard it before.
