@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

if i had the world to make a day for you
i'd fill each hour with praises and shower you
if i held the sun inside my hands
i'd shine it bright inside your heart
and i'd turn my praise and focus to the thought of you
and stand you there
a statue in my soul forever
i dreamed i saw you dancing and i joined you there
and spun we did in the moon's warm light
know I dreamed that they take away everything that you held close and sorrowful for
I will love you like no man can and we will dance at the ide of love
I'll take the moon I'll take the sun from the starry sky
and decorate your nights with light and shadow like no other can, bright
I will dream of stealing you from all the things that bother and hurt you
you my love and only love alone
If I could make another day for you
and shadows taken all of you, and shadows taken all of you
and I can see my heart beat louder and my face grow warm
each time you stand by me my only love, ray on me
so if you your man and family do remember this the time we only caught short view
of each other while in some it shine
I will rake in each day and sell it to you
and sell it to you and sell it to you my love
no captain but you my love
no king but you
if i had the world to make a day for you
i'd fill each hour with praises and shower you
if i held the sun inside my hands
i'd shine it bright inside your heart
and i'd turn my praise and focus to the thought of you
and stand you there
a statue in my soul forever
i dreamed i saw you dancing and i joined you there
and spun we did in the moon's warm light
know I dreamed that they take away everything that you held close and sorrowful for
I will love you like no man can and we will dance at the ide of love
I'll take the moon I'll take the sun from the starry sky
and decorate your nights with light and shadow like no other can, bright
I will dream of stealing you from all the things that bother and hurt you
you my love and only love alone
If I could make another day for you
and shadows taken all of you, and shadows taken all of you
and I can see my heart beat louder and my face grow warm
each time you stand by me my only love, ray on me
so if you your man and family do remember this the time we only caught short view
of each other while in some it shine
I will rake in each day and sell it to you
and sell it to you and sell it to you my love
no captain but you my love
no king but you

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song is absolutely gorgeous. It was played during one of the Dave and Tim tours and there are more lyrics a dmbalmanac.com if you're interested.
This song seems to be about a deep and devoted love for someone. The music is almost as pretty as the words :)
Go ahead and comment as well!
Are you sure thats the name of the song, i tried bearshare pro and limewire pro to get it??
Yes that is the name of the song. It is an extremely rare song only ever played twice by Dave and Tim. It is part of a rare compilation of Dave songs titled the Bitter Blues Disks. If you want me to send you a live recording(which is legal because DMB allows tapers) hit my email up at canadianbacon@gmail.com
Again this is a beautiful sont that deserves more than 2 plays, however it is doubtful it will ever return.
