Dead Songs in Depth

    
173/366 From 'Rio Lindo', recorded by Moonlight Rodeo

This could be just the place, I thought to mend my broken heart
Find the life-long love I sought, make a fresh new start

174/366 From 'Cortical Five', music by Garcia and originally
intended for Paul Kantner's album Planet Earth Rock & Roll Orchestra

Love is wind upon our sails, the boat is small
It rolls to Heaven at a crawl

175/366 From 'Wet Behind The Ears', another Hunter/Lauderdale song
from Blue Moon Junction:

Remember how I loved you once, and how you loved me too
Both of us have changed so much, old memories must do

Nice couplet!
  

    
176/366 From 'Rhapsody In Red'

Sail away on that Rhapsody in Red
Don't care where those other rainbows led

177/366 From 'Fletcher Carnaby', a strange song on Mickey Hart's
first album, Rolling Thunder:

Eyes as yet unshattered by the rising shock

Love that whole album.
  

    
Yep.
  

    
178/366 From 'No More Do I', a Phil Lesh song from the album There
And Back Again:

I will stand by you forever if you'll always stand by me
On the shifting sand or water, take my hand, take my hand

It seemed like Phil’s songs always referenced the elements.  
  

    
179/366 From 'Little Foxes', in Box Of Rain but never played live by
Hunter (though recorded by Grasshoppah):

Safe and sound, ring around the roses in your head
Nightlamp glow, time to go up the stairs to bed

180/366 From 'Aim At The Heart' on the album Rock Columbia:

The echo of her laughter fades into the western skies
Where ribbons that you bought her are reflected in her eyes

Hence, Eye in the Sky.
  

    
181/366 From 'Comes The Dawn', a Mickey Hart Rhythm Devils song:

No torch or candle, what do you need?
And as much as you can handle is exactly as much as you receive

182/366 From 'Corrina':

There's a silver ocean, silver clouds on a silver sea
A bird on the horizon silver winging back to me

180/366. Just realised that 180/366 was a duplicate. So here's a
replacement from 'And I Know You', part of the Terrapin Station
Suite: 

We have been together since the first-born seed of light
reflected on the water and divided day from night

183/366 (half way) From 'The Devil And The Trees', a Zero song:

Ain't hard to figure, no mystery
When the forest dies, then so do we

184/366. From 'Lady Simplicity', on Robert Hunter's first album,
Tales of the Great Rum Runners:

Believe it implicitly, love is tranquillity
If you don't know that then nothing is known

185/366 From 'Northeast By West' written to tapes of "a joyous
afternoon Latin jam at Mickey Hart's ranch":

You might disagree with me, it's your right to be wrong
Anyway, I got my say even if it's just a song

Somethings we can pick and choose, others have to be
Meetings written in the blues of ancient history

Under the moonlight on a night so rare
Just say the word, I'll take you there

188/366 From 'Trust (Guiding Star)', music by Jim Lauderdale

I trust to human kindness when I got no other choice
And when it's time to speak, I trust that truth will guide my voice

189/366 From 'Simply Nowhere', written for the Trichromes:

Wrote a letter in the morning, mailed it at noon
Got an answer back by midnight and I read it by the moon

Everything else goes up in flames
