Oh Darling

~~*~~
Oh darling, will you ever change your mind?
Yeah, I've been feeling left behind
Like a shadow in your light
In your light, in your light
Ah honey won't you say that I'm the one?
And if you think you're, you're gonna run
Well you know ...
I'm gonna be around you, all about you
Always by your side
I'm gonna dream about you, scheme about you
Love you all the time
I'm gonna catch you lady, catch you lady, yeah
The news is all over town
You better not let me down
Keep tellin' me you're feelin' good
As good as you ever could
Please tell me that you'll never go, ah-ha, no, no
Tell me that you'll never go, never go
Ah lately, I'm like a watch that's overwound
And I've got both feet off the ground
'Cause you see ...
I'm gonna be so busy, oh my pretty
Love you night and day
And through the rain and shine
I'll make you mine
I'll love you come what may
I'm gonna catch you lady, catch you lady
Catch you lady uh huh
I'm gonna catch you lady, catch you lady
Catch you lady uh huh
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna catch you lady
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) catch you lady
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna catch you lady
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) catch you lady

A B-side song from one of the greatest
albums of all time,
a song that received absolutely no airplay,
no accolades of any kind,
but one that has forever captured my heart.
It's hopeful yet scared,
sad yet joyous,
tentative but somehow still bold.
Back then, as today,
radio stations weren't concerned
with new music discovery,
despite what they claimed-and still claim--to the contrary.
And so many great songs were left
to languish in obscurity,
even though they were better
than the overplayed hits from the same album.
This is a sterling example of just such a song.
