A clarification on waysider's "no googling" rule: that applies only to those trying to guess the clue. The one posting the clue may google to make sure the lyric is correct. I remember posting a line from "Donna the Prima Donna." I always thought it was "She walks the beaches like Zsa Zsa Gabor." It turns out the line really was "She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor." :)
I'll take a stab... based upon the lyrics but I don't know the song... it sounds like something that would be on Dylan's, Slow Train Coming.... I only listened to it a few times so I only know what the album was about, not the song names... that's all I've got, maybe someone else can take it from there...
Okay! My bad. It's Dylan's "When You Gonna Wake Up" from Slow Train Coming, but I'm not sure about air time. So, try this one on for size:
I love you in a place where there's no space and time
I love you for my life you are a friend of mine
George, remember the song Mandy by Barry Manilow? Someone I knew thought it was Mammy and he was just singing it away. Hilarious. It sure does help to know the words.

We acted out our lives on stages.

But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you--------------Leon Russell
Don't remember if that's the title.
I think the Dylan tune DID get airplay so I'm throwing in the towel to Tom Strange.
Re: Strange lyrics.
Remember the Rascals tune, Groovin'?
There's a place where they say, " You and me endlessly."
Even though I knew it couldn't be right, it always sounded to me like they said, "You and me and Leslie."
I knew that was way too racy for 1967 or 1968 but I couldn't figure out what they were saying.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

It does indeed sit here idling for several days sometimes.
Lots of reasons, really.-----
TS travels a lot, from what I understand.
I'm not always at a computer that I can log on to.----
People get involved with other threads that interest them----
and the list goes on.
As far as rules go------
It has to have had "airplay".
If lyrics vary from version to version, the answer should reflect the version posted.
NO GOOGLING!
It's not a rule, but the older stuff usually works better here 'cause --well--- most of us ain't spring chickens, if you get my drift.
And most importantly------- it's just for fun.
I let my curiosity get the best of me and googled this one.
I think it's a really good one.
I even have the album it came from but who knows the last time I played it?
Somebody will probably guess it.

Not much airplay for this one so I'll give the entire first stanza... I'm betting on you guys! (and gals... cuz I'm sure CalDreamer knows it)
Just a semi normal person
Thought he had the future planned
Then he won some silly sweepstakes
Now he had a hundred grand
Never stopped to think of taxes
He was gone before they knew
With a flair for old romantics
To the Orient he flew

Didn't check back until just now. How's this:
For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water
A long lost heart within his reach
Kinda easy, I know.

Irish, there's a 1985 cut-off due to the advanced age of most of the posters here. Please keep the songs pre- 86
