Little Thing

"so, um, so we've been doing this, uh, this tour, what i guess this is our

Fifth show we've done, tim and i, and, uh... (applause) and, uh, so this little

Song has been growing out, uh, while we've been playing, sort of a little

Story. and the little story i was in new york city and, uh, i was walking down

The street. trying to find the place i was going (i can't remember where i was

Going now). 'cause i met this girl and i asked her directions, you know. and

She was, she was tiny, you know. she, she wasn't young, she was just tiny. and,

Uh, so i asked her directions and she said, 'oh that's the way down there, walk

Over there, go down there, you walk over there, and you go down there and then

You're there.' something like that, anyway. so, uh, but i walked about ten

Paces away and i was thinking... daaamn, that girl was fine. and, oh, i turned

Around to tell her so, and ask her maybe her name, or maybe if we should go and

Get a cup of, who knows, coffee or something. and i'm sure if i turned around

And find

Her there i would have found out something...

But she talked so good

But when i turned around, she was gone

Oh, she was gone

I didn't even get her name, oh

I thought, goddamn

With your face in my mind

And your voice in my ears

To echoes

Oh, i bought a lovely flower

Standing there, we met that day

And hope that you would return

But, no, no, no

I can't remember where i was going

But i can't remember where i was leading to

Or what led me to you, but

Oh, and the weight is all through my head

The look of you, the sound

The way you cackled at me

From then and then, i didn't know where i was going

But always i cry

And so, hey, oh

The hands that pour my hands on you again

Hey, i will beg you, i'll beg, oh

See me, please find me again

Oh, i'm lost again

I sit here drinking coffee

Or water depending the time of day

But, oh, you're with me like a ghost of a mother

Oh, you're with me like the pain of a father

Oh, i wish i, i wish i could call you something

Other than the girl that i saw then

But, hey, i think that i would recognize you in a second

But, hey, i only saw you for a minute, maybe less

I don't hold my hand where

But i waited, honest

I'm lost now, i'm lost now

I can't remember what i used to be

But, oh, hey, yeah, weighted by the memory of

The memory of a love that never got born, but hey

Oh, hey

Do i even cross your mind lately

With more than just a laughing

Did you think as you walked away, maybe

You were, hey

Oh, i hope you did

So, hey, yeah

You would, you would have been feeling

The same thing as i am know

"thank you very much."

Speaking to tim: "let's try to think of some other song..." interrupted by fans

Requesting songs.

(southern accent)"but we, but we done already done it, done it then! (switches

To pseudo-*******ual voice) that'd be like, you know, like, um, sing and sing,

And then not sing it for a little while, and then sing it again. and people

Would be like, 'why'd he sing that again?'"
