Gordon Lightfoot - Early Mornin' Rain (Lightfoot!)
In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
With an achin' in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home
And I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain
With no place to go
Out on runway number nine
Big seven-o-seven set to go
But I'm stuck here in the grass
Where the cold wind blows
Now the liquor tasted good
And the women all were fast
Well there she goes my friend
Well she's rollin' down at last
Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
She's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flyin' o'er my home
In about three hours time
This old airport's got me down
It's no earthly good to me
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
As cold and drunk as I can be
You can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So I'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain
You can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So I'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain

i love the way gordons lips pucker up when he sings, and when he shakes his head a few times before continuing to sing. My favorite mannerism of his is when he sings a line and then looks down at his guitar. its amazing.

Fair comment.
People should just enjoy the artists as they present. After all is said and done we all die eventually. Life is too short to piss around comparing each other and each others taste.
Gordon's music speaks for itself and for him. Thank your god for people with talent .

It seems that you can pick any song on YouTube and someone will post a comment that "So-and-So's version is better"., and someone else will get mad about it. For Chrissakes people, just enjoy the frikkin music or go find something else you will enjoy!
