Dina’s song (the love’s enough for now)

         (by Dwight Newman - performed by Doug Newman)

                                                                   take by Dwight                      

She woke up fumblin’, lookin’ for another cover, she says her feet are cold
I know I should get up, the pilot light’s out again
But I lay here listenin’ to this December wind
And all she knows is, she sure could use me now

When I was younger I used to dream, I used to wonder, tryin’ to picture this
I never imagined this kind of aching cold
I don’t know how it happened but we’re finally gettin’ old
And all we know is, the love’s enough for now.

I hear her whisperin’ in her sleep---none of it making any sense
Or is it my imagination?
Maybe I almost fell asleep, maybe she never said a word
I thought I had an explanation

The early morning city sounds, through our window, bring me back again
The frost in the air was never quite like this
And closing my eyes as it carries me off in bliss
All I know is, I’ll never lose her now
All I know is

This is a song written by my brother -  Dwight Newman, originally back in 1983,                
and has undergone some changes lyrically over the years. Previously it’s been called            
“I Can’t Lose Her Now” and “I’ll Never Lose Her Now”. You can hear Dwight           
performing a take he made in 2/11 here. I’m not trying to top my brother’s take -               
for one thing I have no illusions about being a better guitar player than him.
