A collection of song lyrics & poetry by Tom Rush.

Even as a little kid, Tom Rush had a fascination with words. Except his interactions didn't come through traditional poets or outlets. For him, it was the singers and bands heard on Oldies radio stations and cassette tapes played in his room.

Having to know every word being sung, he'd sit and scribble down what he was hearing, reading the confirmed lyrics over and over to make sure he got them just right. One day while listening, he wondered, how can new songs still be written? Hasn't everything already been written about? That curiosity grew into an obsession with writing lyrics of his own.

This collection is a result of that obsession.
