Leon Russell and Graham Nash – Two Old School Love Songs

      On the day designated as being for loved ones, Indie Obsessive goes “Old School”  - 1970 and 1971.


"A Song For You"
 I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my love on stages
With 10,000 people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I treated you unkindly, but darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darling can't you please see through me
'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you

You taught me precious secrets
Of the truth, withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now, I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody, 'cause my love's in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space and time
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you

But I love you in a place where there's no space and time
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
We were alone and I was singing my song
Singing this song for you



“Simple Man”
I am a simple man
So I sing a simple song
Never been so much in love
And never hurt so bad at the same time.

I am a simple man
And I play a simple tune
I wish that I could see you once again
Across the room like the first time.

I just want to hold you I don't want to hold you down
I hear what you're saying and you're spinning my head around
And I can't make it alone.

The ending of the tale
Is the singing of the song
Make me proud to be your man only you can make me strong
Like the last time.

I just want to hold you I don't want to hold you down
I hear what you're saying and you're spinning my head around
And I can't make it alone.
