Sometimes a broken dream will make you sad or make you mean. Sometimes things ain't bad as they seem.
Gordon LightfootSee the judge upon the bench who tries the case as best he can, see the wise and wicked ones who feed upon life's sacred fire, see the soldier with his gun who must be dead to be admired.
Gordon LightfootIt seems so lucky to just to have the right of telling you with all my might, you're beautiful tonight.

Gordon LightfootI went on tours with [Bob] Dylan - the big one was in 1975 and called Roaring Thunder Review. I knew him well because I met him around the time he did his second album, in 1963. He recorded one of my songs called Shadows. In the 1970s, it was suggested that we do a duet, because we had the same manager, Albert Grossman, who also managed Odetta and Peter, Paul and Mary. Dylan and I respected what each other did, but I just decided not to do it.
