Lyrics for #40 as interpreted by forgetsammi

#40 Lyrics
(Listener Supported version)

Tables turned again
And you my friend
You and I face each other
Oh time and time out
I know it's sometimes hard
But knowing just oh
That we will get along
Til we're old and gray
And doubled up
We're doubled up, we'll sit
And think of times were hard
And laugh of times when we thought
All it would end, it was all over
Then again
And know that I'm yours less rain
And to leave you out, I'll die
Oh my friend
It will be you until the end with me
Always
Always...

one of Dave's most poetic songs, if i do say so myself...incredibly romantic and dreamy...everyone in the world wants what Dave's talking about here, so this song definitely touches everyone...great song...

it doesn't get much more beautiful than this...

plus, i love how on the listener supported version some guy's screaming "thank you, dave!" because don't you just want to thank him after every song at his concerts?

my favorite thing about this song is that it is never the same. you can always recognize it was #40 but the lyrics always different. also, this song was origionally called ALWAYS.

i think that this song is about two friends who are of the opposite sex who know eachother so well that they are best friends
the narrator wants them to be more than friends - but one thing he is sure of is that they will always be there for eachother in the end - friends or more than friends

I think it's people just reflecting on their life. I'm not entirely sure what it's aiming for, but it's still a beautiful, poetic song. It's also labelled kiss with different lyrics,
ie "a friends hand is good to have
but a lover's kiss is better than angels raining down"

The reason that the fan said thank you to Dave in Listener Supported was because this song is actually written to us, the fans. These lyrics are slightly off.

the beauty of #40 lies in its ephemeral nature, it changes every performance, yet the meaning of love is always the same.

any performance with even a #40 tease was worth seeing.

this is one of my favorite songs... to me.. its symbolic of a friendship... and there have been rough times (and rough times may be in the future), but just knowing that they have each other helps them to keep the faith. :)

Tables turned again
And you my friend
You and I face each other time and time again

I know it’s sometimes hard
But knowing just, oh, that we’ll get along until we’re old and grey
And doubled up, and doubled up
We’ll sit
And laugh of times we had
Laugh of times when we thought all it would end, it all was over, then again
I know that I’m your (Indiscernible)
And to leave you at (Indiscernible) our lives (Indiscernible)
Oh my friend
It will be you until the end with me, always
Always, ah well
Always, yah yah yah
Always


I love this version. Even though I can't understand some of it.
