Yep...Jackie's a recorded songwriter! She's just too modest to start signin' autographs! I'm still waitin' for mine...preferably on a tape or CD of the song

Here's a song that's had a deep impact on me:

THE LONELY ONE

by Dave Mason

There've been moments of despair,
There've been times I couldn't care.
I was the lonely one.
Then you showed myself to me,
And I found I needn't be
Another lonely one.

Chorus

Running in the wilderness and dreaming in
the sun,
And crying to the sky at night
For God's eternal son.

Through the truth and through the lies
There is really no disuise to hide the lonely
ones.
You can find them on a card,
Being matched with other hearts,
The really lonely ones.

Chorus

Running in the wilderness and dreaming in
the sun,
And crying to the sky at night
For God's eternal son.

Inside your rooms, behind your walls.
I see your face, you know
I hear your calls.
Is this some madness that's been left unchecked,
Or will there always be just promises.

Chorus

Running in the wilderness and dreaming in
the sun,
And crying to the sky at night
For God's eternal son.

There are men that hold the key
To set everybody free
But they are the lonely ones.
And, if the day should come
When they all can work as one,
There'll be a destiny.

Yes, I know...

Chorus

Running in the wilderness and dreaming in
the sun,
And crying to the sky at night
For God's eternal son.
