God Please Bless America
Please God bless America
With compassion and mercy
May we not
Live in Fear
My baby went off to school today
I don’t know if I’m going to see my baby again
We’re not promised tomorrow
Please God bless America
With wisdom
To do what’s right
And the Strength
To admit we’re wrong
So we can move on
And be strong
In case there is tomorrow
Shield the children
From the madness
Knelt down, hands up,
Knelt down, hands up,
Over your heart
We’re not promised tomorrow
God Bless America
(With humanity Teach us humility May the healing start)

Castaway
We are caught in the tide in between
Where the old world dies and the new one begins
Dying to be born
Aware of the perils and dangers around
This is no time to sleep
We’re between the devil and the deep
Don’t be caught up short
Lower your mainsails keep the northstar to port
Forget yourself leave your body behind
Forget yourself lose your mind
Forget yourself you are not alone
Come on home
Down the hatch boys and heave to the wind
The Squall is blustered and twisting with sin
So One last call for reason
Then we’re Shutting down for the season
Forget yourself leave your body behind
Forget yourself lose your mind
Forget yourself you are not alone
Come on home
Gone too long - castaway

Cherokee Rose

Cherokee Rose
Beneath the willows where the wild river flows
Thru brambles and briars and Cherokee rose
To the bank on the Southside and the Golden shoals
I rendezvous with Mon Chéri where nobody knows
I only offered her diamonds or pearls
Naked and hungry in a wild wild world
On the Southside and the Golden shoals
I rendezvous with Mon Chéri where nobody knows
In a Place where nobody goes
In the sands where no feet know
Beneath the willows where the wild river flows
Thru the brambles and briars and Cherokee rose
She cried ‘I need to fly’ and she spread her wing
She stopped I time I heard only the birdies sing
I felt the grind wound the string
She pulled the wind and let the bell ring
Mama don’t approve, Papa don’t care
They think I’m sinning, about this love affair
It’s so hard to bear
Beyond the outskirts farther than the railroad track
Over the hillside we built our humble shack
We made our peace, we aint never coming back
j'adore mon doux bébé
Elle est précieuse et libre
Mi amore, Mon Cheri, Mon esprit
To the bank on the Southside and the Golden shoals
I rendezvous with Mon Chéri where nobody goes

18th Century English Ballad
1. In spring we sow at the harvest mow
And that is how the seasons round they go
but of all the times choose I may
I'd be rambling through the new mowed hay.
2. In summer when the summer is hot
We sing, and we dance, and we drink a lot
We spend all night in sport and play
And go rambling in the new mown hay
3. In autumn when the oak trees turn
We gather all the wood that's fit to burn
We cut and stash and stow away
And go rambling in the new mown hay
4. In winter when the sky's gray
we hedge and ditch our times away,
but in summer when the sun shines gay,
We go ramblin' through the new mowed hay.
5. Oh Nancy is my darling gay
And she blooms like the flowers every day
But I love her best in the month of May
When we're rambling through the new mown hay

How Long

How Long
How Long, How Long
How long, how long
Good loving kills me, strike me dead
This morning I Went Fishing
I got swallowed by a whale
I wonder how much farther
To the varmints tail
I was saved by the virgin maiden
She picked up my lance
Slayed that dirty dragon
We had us a little dance
After creation
We did multiply
And divided into nations
This made the Lord cry
‘I’m going to give you one more chance
Next time will be fire
Love comes from the breast
The mind creates desire’

Lamps Are Lighting
There are secrets born every night
But they age unkindly in the morning light
Every bar along the lane
Forgotten romance forgotten names
Was blind - Was underground
Afraid to fly - You lifted me now I’m found
Boundless blessings, this morning bright
Instantly granted to childlike eyes
Fear of dying, fear of flying alone
When we’re lost and have no home
Was blind - Was underground
Afraid to fly - You lifted me now I’m found
Night is brightened ten billion sparks
Ten trillion light years through the icy dark
Time is winding grooving us down
Lamps are lighting feel the sound
Feel the Sound
Lamps are lighting can’t you feel the sound?

You Are the Sun

You Are the Sun
When my heart beats you are the sound
When the water rises you are my higher ground
Out of no place - into you I run
When I’m lost in darkness you are the sun
When there is no sky you are my breath
When there is no color you pull the blues my head
You are the very next chapter when everything is done
When I’m Lost in the darkness you are the sun
You are the Sun
I orbit about you daylight has come
You are the sun
Your brilliance is leading me home
When there are no stars you light up my sky
Pulling heavenly bodies in your gravitational tide
You are melody in the Universe’ love song
When I’m lost in the darkness you are the sun
You are the Sun
I orbit about you leading me home
You are the sun
Your brilliance is leading me home
You are the burning turning deep down
My Earthly Rises as the Storms roll on
My fiery dream when sleep won’t come
Your internal / convective motion
Causes a dynamic magneto pull, upon my emotion
You’re rhizomic hypha devotions
Cause a mycelic explosion you are the sun
You are the Sun
I orbit about you leading me home
You are the sun
Your brilliance is leading me on
Seas of sadness, leaves of madness Are gone

Mysterium Tremendum

Mysterium Tremendum 1
Mysterious tremendum, religion denies
We are monkeys, convinced we’re running the show
You give me thrills, Psycho spiritual ills
I received missives as kisses
From sisters beneath the stairs
If I could I would… Purge this jealousness
If could remember why we changed our plan, what went wrong…
In the filth and the stream of murder we drown our song
I pray to understand … And I’m learning how to love
Hurricanes of fate, Oceans of free will
Flooding daydreams,
In the swollen tide of the present tense
Man prays for many things … Forgiveness from blame
Man will prey on most anything ….. Here and now is all we can claim

Spiral

Spiral
Spires and toils, falling in the rain
Tomorrow they’ll rise up again
Desires and souls, losses we have gained
Thumb on the scale of the dead
Wind blow us on, spiraling to our new home
Died and reborn, spiraling to our new home
I cry in the night, for everyman
The tears never land
Stones from heaven, spaced out in riddles
Feel the pressure from below
Laughing as we carry on
Wind blow us on, spiraling to our new home
Died and reborn, spiraling to our new home
We lived before, our ashes strew
High and wide
Pyres and gyres, delivered new
Rising on the tide
Wind blow us on, spiraling to our new home
Died and reborn, spiraling to our new home
Blow us home

Rise

Rise 5
Dreaming stardust
I rose from ashen clay
Reaping conquest
And gold along the way
We left the harvest
Our fields in decay
I woke up so late
The forest had tuned to ash
Villains are at the gate
And our kingdom will soon crash
Throwing pitchforks at the state
And this swing may be our last
Rising from the ground / enough to feed us all
All around / even climbing walls
Free the sound / Sound the call
Taking root
On the devil’s estate
Underfoot
Our great plans escape
Free the vine
Praise God ‘Elderberry Wine’
Rising from the ground / enough to feed us all
All around / even climbing walls
Free the sound / Sound the call

A Simple Life
Electric living not good for woman or man
Babylon alters towering from the sand
Let’s reconnect – come take my hand
We made big plans for some future feast
But God is the boss of man and beast
Let’s skip town let’s find our peace
Let’s go to the country deep in the eastern wood
Water sweet and the air tastes good
Let’s pull the plug I really think we should
Pull the plug from the socket, Put away our toys
We won’t miss a thing but that lonely noise
It takes flesh and blood to make love
No man can destroy
Gears are grinding - we won’t last forever
I’m at ease whenever we are together
I’m at my ease when we’re together
Present in the matter of your pleasure
We’ll be eating real fine when the corn tops ripe
Rise in the morning sleep easy at night
Make love in the morning sleep easy at night
Let’s disconnect and live a simple life
Pull the plug from the socket, Put away our toys
We won’t miss a thing but that lonely noise
It takes flesh and blood to make love
No man can destroy
