I feel like a spinning top or a Dreidel
The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle
You just slow down
Round and around this world you go
Spinning through the lives of the people you know
We all slow down.

More quotes by Don McLean

I realized that songwriters should make their statements and move on, maintaining a dignified silence.

I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

Every thread of creation is held in position
By still other strands of things living.

You will find many interpretations of my lyrics but none of them by me.

I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died.
