For those who believe in the power of prayer, may I invite you to lift up Gordon Lightfoot in your time of meditation, thanksgiving, supplication and request. I think it is fare to say that virtually every one who posts here, including me, love and admire Gordon Lightfoot in a myriad of ways and are thankful for all that he has added to our lives. You have all proven that through your plethora of posts. So I look foreward to seeing the power of prevailing prayer move on Gordon in a special way.

One thought I have is that we pray for his voice. I recently saw him in Cincinnati and noticed that he was having some vocal problems, especially during the first set. He's been through a lot in his time on planet earth and the last few years he's faced some serious physical ailments as I think you all know. He's 69 and so his age is certainly a factor however I believe in miracles and I'd like to see one for our hero.

In addition, I would suggest that you pray as the Lord leads. I don't know if Gordon knows the Lord (I think he does given many of his song refernces) but that would be a good place to start.


Gordon Lightfoot - Someone To Believe In (from the LP Salute)


Is there someone I can believe in
Is there somewhere I can hide
Take me out of the straits I'm in
Come and stay here by my side
Somebody I can rely on
I broke the law, I've been set free
Give me something to decide upon
Come and show yourself to me
Is there someone sewing seams
Through all my hopes, through all my dreams
You know living a life of ease
Don't make yer meals taste better
If you please

Is there someone I can relate to
Who will break the ice for me
Take me out of the place I'm in
Come and share your life with me
Somebody with nothing to live up to
Who will mend my broken dreams
Give me a wave I can ride upon
Come and show your strength to me

I have felt the final rush
Of love's embrace, the magic touch
Running headlong to attract
I felt the breath of Satan
On my back

Is there someone I can believe in
Is there something I can do
Take me out of the straits I'm in
Let me show myself to you
Somebody to whom I can belong
Take my hand, I've been set free
Give me some wings I can glide upon
Come and show yourself to me

Is there someone sewings seams
Through all my hopes, through all my dreams
You know living a life of ease
Don't make yer meals taste better
If you please

Gordon Lightfoot - Romance (From The LPSalute)

You said you were through with romance
Why take a chance on anyone
You're so beautiful too
I can tell by the way that you dance
They say that people don't change
Why rearrange the original
You do something to me
That my eyes cannot see at a glance
Signs of a new beginning
Signs of a life worth living
The better to forget than to be all that upset
It's the time to taste the wine

And maybe someday things will change
And come with in range and be laughable
Everything is okay
I can tell by the way that you dance
They say that people don't try
That's just a lie, they work miracles
It's a gift from above
When we talk about love and romance

Signs of a new tomorrow
Signs of a life without sorrow
The better to forget than to be all that upset
It's the time to taste the wine

And maybe this time you will be
Romantic like me when I'm with you
And I think you might say
I can tell by the way that you dance
They say that people don't change
Like Home On The Range, it's original
You do something to me
That my eyes cannont see at a glance
You do something to me
When we talk about love and romance
