I loved the music. And I listened to "Revolver" on the way home tonite via old Betsy. What a great L.P. [ long playing ] Love the strings on Eleanor Rigby. Love the whole thing.
When John decided to come out of the kitchen and record again, his wife, the enigmatic Yoko Ono, wrote some songs as well. She was scheduled to release "Walking On Thin Ice" as a single. An eerie foreshadowing of events to come.
"Walking on Thin Ice":
Walking on thin ice
I'm paying the price
For throwing the dice in the air
Why must we learn it the hard way
And play the game of life with your heart
I gave you my knife
You gave me my life
Like a gush of wind in my hair
Why do we forget what's been said
And play the game of life with our hearts
I may cry some day
But the tears will dry whichever way
And when our hearts return to ashes
It'll be just a story
It'll be just a story
"I knew a girl
Who tried to walk across the lake
'Course it was winter and all this was ice
That's a hell of a thing to do, you know
They say this lake is as big as the Ocean
I wonder if she knew about it
And, yes, I dug it!
