I never heard of Steve Stills, but Yip Harburg said it best in Finian's Rainbow (to music by Burton Lane).
Oh my heart is beating wildly
And it's all because you're here.
When I'm not near the girl I love,
I love the girl I'm near.
Ev'ry femme that flutters by me
Is a flame that must be fanned.
When I can't fondle the hand I'm fond of,
I fondle the hand at hand.
My heart's in a pickle,
It's constantly fickle
And not too partickle, I fear.
When I'm not near the girl I love,
I love the girl I'm near.
But, I must admit holding a certain fondness for Terre Haute. Sprint cars belong on half mile tracks.
