Just as a point of information, "My Ride Is Here" was not his last album. That would be "The Wind." What a great album, especially considering the circumstances. Emotionally it is almost too hard to take.

Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for awhile
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for awhile

When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for awhile
There's a train leaving nightly called “when all is said and done”
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile
You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you

Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for awhile
These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Keep me in your heart for awhile


My all time favorite WZ song is his duet with Linda Ronstadt, "Empty Handed Heart" from "Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School." Beautiful harmony. "Mama Couldn't Be Persuaded" would be a close second. This is so stupid trying to rank them -- he wrote dozens of great songs.

>Zevon's My Ride's Here is a great album! I'm really glad he got the opportunity to do it before he was gone. So is Enjoy Every Sandwich which is where that video comes from.
