Song lyrics
Come see
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles
I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance and while
I'm in the front
The play on time is won
But the difficulty is coming here 
I will go in this way
And find my own way out
I won't tell you to stay
But I'm coming to much more
Me
All at once the ghosts come back
Reeling in you now
What if they came down crushing
Remember when I used to play for
all of the loneliness that nobody
notices now
Oh, I'm begging slow 
I'm coming here
Only waiting 
I wanted to stay
I wanted to play,
I wanted to love you 
I'm only this far
And only tomorrow leads my way 
I'm coming waltzing back and
moving into your head
Please, I wouldn't pass you by
Oh, I wouldn't take any more than
What sort of man goes by
I will bring water
Why won't you ever be glad
It melts into wonder
I came in praying for you
Why won't you run
into the rain and play
And let the tears splash all over you

dave still plays this song all the time, and it is one of his better ones. Stefan is a great bass player as well.

This song is definitely one of my top favorites by the dave matthews band. The band does a great job playing it live and it's been amazing the times i've seen it played. Oh, and I agree I think Stefan is still a good bass player and has it covered. OH AND Dave and Tim do a great version of this song. I'm so torn but anyway. #41.

This song is not only one of my fav Dave songs... (it very well might be my favorite dave song, but my moods switch too frequently to determine that in stone) but it is one of my all time favorite songs ever!!!
It is beautiful, and... just, i know its a vague word, but AWESOME!!!
I love it....!!

"I wanted to stay, I wanted to play... I wanted to love you.... A moment this fine...."
AWWWW
good stuff!

Dave deserves serious, serious kudos for this one.
The first time I heard it, even though I didn't quite get the lyrics, I fell in love instantly. I personally like the Luther College version, but that may be just me.
I found the lyrics on here, and wow. Proves my point that this man is very intelligent. I wanted to find one little line to put into my weblog entry, and it took me forever to narrow it down!!!

To Dave!!!

It terms of Musical variety, this is the best DMB song ever. It features such a wide range of instruments that all add to the quality of the song. In my opinion it features the two best solos, (violin and saxophone) on any DMB song. Hard to say whether it is the best DMB song. FWIW, if I were trapped in a room and forced to listen to one DMB song over and over I would probably choose #41; it never gets old. It seems to get better with age.
