Hey Lady,

I totally sympathize. My lyric issues usually happen when there's just a subtle change each time the lyrics or chorus come around... think of "For What It's Worth".... which chorus is "stop children", "stop now" or "stop, hey"?....lol

Also, I find "nonsense" lyrics hard... like the Beatles, "Come Together". I'm just learning Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues right now, which is a tough one.

I'm big on the mneumonic thing.... using one word in the line before to clue me in on what comes next....

or, like in your tune above..... the second lines are in a chronological progression for the story.... 'Night' comes first, then 'dreamland' happens, then the person wakes 'crying', then 'morning' comes. If you can keep track of where you are in the tune/story, then maybe the 'timeline' idea might help you remember.

Hope this helps
Christine
