Rock 'n' Roll Trivia (Slightly Tougher Jim Croce Edition)

[UPDATE: I finally realized what's been missing here; no answers. Okay, some answers posted (Gads, out of practice on these trivia posts)]

Well, still not up to snuff in the creativity department, but stealing JC lyrics questions from KG has helped a bit. So, with the exception of the first few, which are pretty much gimmes, here are some slightly tougher Jim Croce lyrics questions (and there is one double):

1) If it's silence you adore, what will happen? [Lisa: There'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor in the morning]

2) Snowy lights and Christmas lights and ice windowpanes make me wish what? [KG: That we could be together again]

3) Sometimes, at night, I think I hear you calling my name. So what keeps me going? [KG: These dreams]

4) On lazy days in mid-July and on country Sunday mornings, what do I find myself doing?

5) Quick! Five short minutes did what? Bonus: And why?

6) My only boss was the clock on the wall. My only friend was what?

7) I was looking for a lifetime lover. What were you looking for?

8) She's the only one who knows how it feels when you lose a dream and how it feels when you dream alone. Who is she?

9) I've had my share of good intentions and I've made my share of mistakes, and I've learned at times it's best to bend. Why?

10) Mom and Dad, if you'll only send me some money I'll be back on my feet again. Where should they send it?

11) It seems like such a long time ago that I was a boy, far from home. But what happened when you came along? [KG: I became a man when you came along]

12) I've been trusted, abused, and busted. And what else? [KG: I've been taken by those close to me]

13) Used to be that I could pretend that I wasn't really hurt back then. But what what's been happening?

14) I've traded love for pennies and sold my soul for less. Where did I lose my ideals?

2. that we could be together again.
3. These dreams.
11. I became a man when you came along.

I know No. 12, but I can't place it, and I don't really feel like looking through the few songs I have.

Also, unrelated, but I made a stop over at the FFOT

Correct on all three.

And yeah, I saw the FFOT. You've been saving it up ;)

a ha, I remember 12, now: I've been taken by those close to me

I can recall half of 10, but that's it. Is it cheating if I look through the files on my computer for a title, as long as I don't play them?

Nah, it's cool.

Weenie.
