Trying to find Lyrics

Post by Johnny »

A long time ago I was listening to an album that had Elusive Butterfly on it and a song with the lyrics.."Now is the shimmering , glimmering beginning of something I've prayed for and counted the minutes.." Mr Lind are these your lyrics? If so what is the song? It has been in my head for over 30 years.

It's called "Counting" (great song!) and it'll be available in June on the new CD re-issue of Bob's first 2 albums. (see the top thread in this section of the forum)

Thanks Rob. You took the words right out of my fingers.

Welcome to the board Johnny. Rob's right. And if you burn out on my version of the song, it's also been recorded by Marianne Faithful, The Deep Six, and most recently by Jamie Hoover. See the links section of this site for how to get Jamie's recording of "Counting" and three more of my songs.
