From the album Legend
It's plain to see, the sun won't shine today
But I ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway
Maybe I'll go insane
I got to stop the pain
Or maybe I'll go down to see Kathleen.
A swallow comes and tells me of her dreams
She says she'd like to know just what they mean
I feel like I could die
As I watch her flying by
Ride the north wind down to see Kathleen.
Stars hang high above, the oceans roar
The moon is come to lead me to her door
There's crystal across the sand
And the waves, they take my hand.
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen.
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen.

@TRoseist you're not the only one... Townes had the best producers... Jack Clements was one of them!!! But none of them seemed to get it... that's why Townes recorded live show records are so important. One man, one song, one guitar. All his records should have been like that. But, regardless, the songs shine through.

A new Favorite many thanks for this haunting

I love this girl named kathleen but she does not :(

Am I the only one who hates all the strings that keep getting slopped all over the purest songwriting ever?
-
I always thought of Kathleen being the dealer

Video doesn't fit the music.
Brilliant song by TVZ but do yourself a favor and listen to it on Live at the Old Quarter.

@terr0rkitten Of course I'm glad you posted it and apologize if I sounded upset. It's not that serious. "Kathleen" is one of my favorite songs from one of the great record releases ever. Again, my apologies for disrespecting the effort you made to wed the song to the footage--which, from the perspective of a couple of months--has a more serious tone to it than I gave it credit for at the time. My bad.
