Different World

Lyrics: David Nelson, Tom Stern
Music: David Nelson, Tom Stern

Played by David Nelson with Bill Kreutzmann and the Tryptoband in 2014. In the David Nelson Band recording on Once In A Blue Moon, there are two versions, one titled "Different World (full version)" - though there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two.

Sunsets ablaze and mountain views
Have made me stop and stare
Not till the days I spent with you
Was I completely there

I've known sad lonely days that would not pass
And nights that never end
And nothing good stays, you'll be gone too fast
And I'm alone again

It's a different world when you're with me
And the hours we share won't hear our plea
They just fly on by indifferently

When I found you I found myself
And lost the need to roam
And without you I'm doomed to dwell
In places never home

You say you can't give everything
Until the day you're free
But I don't ask for everything
Just what you got for me

It's a different world when you're with me
And the hours we share won't hear our plea
They just fly on by indifferently

Sunsets ablaze and mountain views
Have made me stop and stare
Not till the days I spent with you
Was I completely there

I've known sad lonely days that would not pass
And nights that never end
And nothing good stays, you'll be gone too fast
And I'm alone again

It's a different world when you're with me
And the hours we share won't hear our plea
They just fly on by indifferently
