No need to apologize, Dan, I'll admit there are several songs, of Gord's that I would love to have him explain to us!...but Endless Wire has been a favorite of mine, for years, that I've always felt I could relate to and although my thoughts may be way off base, this is the way I see it. I agree with classicmixdj as far as it has to do with a certain relationship, but not that he is depressed, and I do not see any drug relationship, either?...rather, that he is happy with his life, the way it is, and is now excited about someone who has come into his life, and coming from someone who has been around the block, several times, he is saying, what he has to offer her, which is just himself, what you see, is what you get, "I ain't got nothing to hide", and "nothing to give", "I don't have no one for hire", and "I ain't got a thing to show," he is offering himself, as he is, plain and simple, him! With his feet on the ground, he is steady too! but he has the same dreams as everyone else, The need to be loved, the desire to be loved, " a paperback dream" "My life is an endless dream" until that one special person comes into his life, he will wait and dream, an endless dream, until it becomes a reality. "I ain't got nothin' but time, all the time in the world, to wait for you!!"My mind is an endless wire" The best line of all, the one I can really relate to, how do you shut it off, I can't stop, thinking, dreaming, living, laughing, loving, waiting, even "down in the dark of a burnt out soul" one that has been there before, but willing to go again, the pain is worth the passion!!" the second hand dreams" in a "heavenly night with you" sounds worth the excitement, but no, no, no, "don't go foolin' around" with my heart, by getting it all excited, if you arn't going to be a part of my dreams..."And set my wheels afire", by being a part of my heavenly blue,and putting these wonderful thoughts into my head and getting me all excited," where the sea runs green" which would be his definition of Heaven, since we already know how much he loves the sea, becomes he sings about it enough!! Just a thought, What do you think? or do you, like me, think too much? Is Your Mind an endless wire, By the way did I mention how much I love Gordon and his music, and his BAND, especially his BAND MEMBERS, which set my wheels and heart afire, so please do go foolin around!!
