LYRICS
I’m thinking of taking it
One day at a time
’cause I’m…
Taking them as they come
And if I could have more than one
I’m all in… (I’m thinkin’)

I’m thinking of taking it
One day at a time
’cause I’m…
Taking them as they come
And if I could have more than one
I’m all in… (I’m thinkin’)
Give me two or even a few
I’ll come through

I’m thinking of taking it
One day at a time
’cause I’m…
Taking them as they come
And if I could have more than one

I’ll come through
If it were up to me
I’d start with three
Just to see

LYRICS
Hey you
Snap to
It’s time to get up
Got to move
Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe know
Make no mistake
When the levee breaks
You’ve got to move
The levee broke today
We have no place to stay
Mountain man left his home
Weep and moan

Hey you
Snap to
It’s time to get up
Got to move
Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe know
Make no mistake
When the levee breaks
You’ve got to move
The levee broke
Mama you got to move
Ain’t no joke
The levee broke
Behooves to move

All last night
I ran from the levee and moaned
Mean ole levee mowed down my home
All last night
You can cry with all your might
Won’t do you no good… only running could

bookmark_borderThe End of the Ending

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The last thing will be the first thing
The start of something new
The ending of the ending
As beginning I never knew
… how time flew
The best of the best
Just keeps getting better
Book, chapter, verse
Down to the letter
The reality of living history
Now you’ve told your story
That story has been told
That story has grown old
(End of age… turn the page)

The next thing will be a new thing
In time the future passed
the ending of the ending
We knew it couldn’t last
… time went past
The best of the best
Just keeps getting better
Book, chapter, verse
Down to the letter
The reality of living history
Now you’ve told your story
That story has been told
That story has grown old
(End of age… turn the page)

LYRICS
What do you think about tomorrow
Will it bring laughter or sorrow?
Well I suppose what you chose
Was to choose
Uplifting blue
(Uplifting news)

Now that tomorrow’s today
Would you say things will go our way?
Well I suppose what you chose
Was to choose
Uplifting blue
(Uplifting news)

Sure enough today fades to yesterday
How well did your dreams voice your choice?
Well I suppose what you chose
Was to choose
Uplifting blue

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How can your right all be wrong
If you’d listen to yourself
It wouldn’t take long
Go figure?

How could you leave what is left
Pity party for the sorry soul’s theft
Grave… dig your?

Must be up to me
What I want to see
The me I want to be
Now I know to leave it to you
We’d be through

bookmark_borderThe Look in Your Eye

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The look in your eye
As you look to the sky
Do you see the light of day
Or did the light decay?
Are you O.K.?
Say what’s your sight
Will everything be alright
Say what’s your sight
Do you see the night?

The look in your eye
As you look to the sea
Do you spy a low tide
Or the tide forever high
Please tell me
Say what’s your sight
Will everything be alright
Say what’s your sight
Do you see the height?

The look in your eye
As if you’re going to cry
Tears of delight or fright
Insight into your foresight
… is it do or die?
Say what’s your sight
Will everything be alright
Say what’s your sight
Do you see the light?

bookmark_borderFor the Birds (Sweet, Sweet Harmony)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Don’t count your chickens
Before they hatch
They said
What if they’re born dead?
While I’m having them scrambled
Is what’s going through my head
The everyday irony
That is presented to me
Choose agony
Or sweet, sweet harmony

Bird in hand
Is worth two in the bush
They said
What if they’re not for dead?
While I’m setting them free
Is what occurs to me
The everyday irony
That is presented to me
Choose agony
Or sweet, sweet harmony

LYRICS
Sorry…
Didn’t mean to take you by surprise
Didn’t realize you were on the other side
Not clear where I should go from here
I’m in a state of shock
Probably best to take stock
Resolve
Dissolve
Can from cannot
Resolve
Will not done till
Free that will, baby
Don’t say maybe
Free that will, man
You know you can
Free that will

Sorry…
Didn’t mean to startle you
As did you to me, too
Don’t know what to do now
It’s new not to know
Wish I knew
I’m in shock
Probably best to take stock

Free that will, man
You know you can
Not done till
Free that will

bookmark_borderThe Meaning of Life

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What’s the meaning of our life
It’s much to short to tell
Find the answer on the other side
Might do just as well
… so long as it’s not hell

What’s the purpose of goodwill
Sometimes it’s hard to tell
To let some empathy instill
Might do us all well
… might keep me out of that hell

What good is peace on Earth
If no one’s here to tell
Extinction rules out their birth
To late to say, “Oh, well.”
… likely be living in that hell

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Carbon monoxide
Seeping inside
Nowhere to hide
In my hide reside
How will I know if I’m in peril
Number of crow in the murder
How far to go… over the barrel
Spend your life as a cat herder

Did you leave the gas on
With no pilot light?
Could you believe no put-on
We just might ignite
How will I know if I’m in peril
Number of crow in the murder
How far to go… over the barrel
Spend your life as a cat herder

On an island
The tide keeps rising
Start to wonder…
Going under?
How will I know if I’m in peril
Number of crow in the murder
How far to go… over the barrel
Spend your life as a cat herder

bookmark_borderQuick Draw

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Right in the middle
In the thick of it
No fiddle-diddle
He was might quick
Fastest draw
I ever saw
Don’t think
I could’ve blinked
On the brink

Not much more than a blur
No more
Never saw anything like it
Before
Fastest draw
I ever saw
Don’t think
I could’ve blinked
On the brink

Up to The End
To the very last
Never did bend
Re-defined fast
Fastest draw
I ever saw
Don’t think
I could’ve blinked
On the brink\

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In a tangle
How to handle
In a bind
How to wrangle
In a tangle
Lost his mind
They said
He lost his head
They say
He’s not O.K.
In fact, you might
Say, “He’s not quite right.”

Wants to wrestle
Hard to handle
Bats belfried
Blow the whistle
Stop the scandal
Set them free
They said
He lost his head
They say
He’s not O.K.
In fact, you might
Say, “He’s not quite right.”

Can’t applaud an act of God
As the loon
Where will you be next time you see
Howling moon
They said
He lost his head
They say
He’s not O.K.
In fact, you might
Say, “He’s not quite right.”

LYRICS
No water down below
The water that’s above
So far refused to flow
Please send my love
No doubt a drought within
But once the rains begin
You’ll be a deluge refugee

No water down below
The water that’s above
So far refused to flow
Please send my love
With the turn of the tide
Among water reside
We’ll be the deluge refugee

No water down below
The water that’s above
So far refused to flow
Please send my love
What once was parched and dry
Now reigned by the sky
See we are deluge refugees

bookmark_borderShades of Gray

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If you’re seeing only shades of gray
Maybe today is your day?
Here’s a hue for you
The least I can do
Painting with a palette that runs deep
Primarily primaries start to seep
The colors flow
Come to know

Know it’s not all black and white
Maybe today set it right?
Here’s a hue for you
The least you can do
Painting with a palette that runs deep
Primarily primaries start to seep
The colors flow
Come to know

If your fray day turns black
Maybe “we” have what “you” lack
Here’s a hue for you
The least we can do
Painting with a palette that runs deep
Primarily primaries start to seep
The colors flow
Come to know
