Subject: ADD: I Think of You..Utah Phillips-Sorrels Version
Rosalie spends five wonderful minutes on this song. Here is her version from _Starlight On The Rails - A Songbook, Disc 3_.
=================================

I THINK OF YOU
(Utah Phillips - as sung by Rosalie Sorrels)

I look to see the wildflowers blooming
And wonder why they seem so plain,
The springtime rides the brown hills over,
Young birds sing in a silver rain,

    I think of you as the night rolls by,
    You're on my mind the whole day through,
    Far away in a lonesome city,
    All the time you're gone, I think of you.

And when my world is turned to sunlight,
And the dust clouds stand in the summer sky,
I number all the climbing roses,
Watch to see the milkweed fly.

    I think of you as the night rolls by,
    You're on my mind the whole day through,
    Far away in a lonesome city,
    All the time you're gone, I think of you.

(break)

And when I hear a soft wind moaning
Like an angel's voice from a far-off shore,
My days slip by like light snow falling,
Or the dry brown leaves blown by my door.

    I think of you as the night rolls by,
    You're on my mind the whole day through,
    Far away in a lonesome city,
    All the time you're gone, I think of you.

    I think of you as the night rolls by,
    You're on my mind the whole day through,
    Far away in a lonesome city,
    All the time you're gone, I think of you.
