When the winter rains
come pourin’ down
On that new home of mine,
Will you think of me
and wonder if I’m fine?
Will your restless heart
come back to mine
On a journey thru the past.
Will I still be in your eyes
and on your mind?
– Neil Young
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well,
you just might find
that you get what you need.
– Keith Richards / Mick Jagger
