"Comes a Time"

C. and I went to a Dark Star Orchestra concert last week. (they are a Grateful Dead tribute band (the best there is out there) and they play all Dead music, and pick a set list from a played Dead show and play that entire set at their concerts.)
One of the songs they played was not one I was familiar with, but was very touched by it none the less. The song was called "Comes A Time.

Now, I'm pretty sure Jerry Garcia (or whoever actually wrote the song) didn't have IF issues, and I know thats not what the song is about. But as with many songs out there, people can often find a different meaning to a song, or they find a way to relate words of the song to what they may be going through. That is how I felt about this song. I quickly connected with it. After listening to it again, and reading the lyrics several times, I feel it definately is relatable to my IF journey. Check out the lyrics:

Comes a Time by the Grateful Dead

Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says "Don't you see?

Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe.

"Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill,only love can fill.

Been walking all morning went walking all night

I can't see much difference between the dark and light

And I feel the wind And I taste the rain

Never in my mind to cause so much pain.

Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says

"Don't you see?Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe."

Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill,only love can fill.

From day to day just letting it ride.

You get so far away from how it feels inside.

You can't let go cause you're afraid to fall,

But the day may come when you can't feel at all.

The words come out like an angry stream.

You hear yourself say things you could never mean.

When you cool down you find your mind.

You got a lot of words you've got to stand behind.

Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says

"Don't you see?Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe."

Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill,only love can fill,

only love can fill, only love can fill.

"Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe"

If that doesn't fit how you feel when faced with IF, I don't know what does.
