Its Been You Lord, Right Down the Line

Some of us will remember this song, Right Down the Line, by Gerry Rafferty. I gladly offer these lyrics as a tribute to my marvelous wife, Barbara. I also offer these lyrics in praise and thanksgiving for the Blessed Mother Mary. A loving Mother who never leaves us alone. Never should we be truly lonely as She will always bring a gentle caress and be by our side. She will whisper gentle words to her Son so that we may be healed and comforted. And of course, with small editing, these words serve as a tribute to our Lord-Father, Son and Holy Spirit. My Northern Star. The Blessed Trinity. The Triune Community of Love and Joy. O God, welcome us into Your presence. We find our Joy in You source of all that is True, Good and Beautiful.

Right Down the Line

You know I need your love
You've got that hold over me
Long as I've got your love
You know that I'll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you woman
Right down the line

I know how much I lean on you
Only you can see
The changes that I've been through
Have left a mark on me
You've been as constant as a Northern Star
The brightest light that shines
It's been you woman right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way
Of tellin' you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
That every day I'm lovin' you so much more
'Cause you believed in me through my darkest night
Put somethin' better inside of me
You brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams
I put them all behind
And it was you woman
Right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way of tellin' you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
Everything I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
That every day I'm lovin' you so much more

If I should doubt myself, if I'm losing ground
I won't turn to someone else
They'd only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you woman
Right down the line
