LYRICS
Do you know what I mean
When I sing “floating down stream”?
Behave with the energy wave
… to the sea
Try to keep your head above water
Don’t ever go down for the third time
It really does matter
Living the nursery rhyme
Floating down stream
My body a boat in the dream
Embody “about” in the dream

LYRICS
If you feel your life isn’t that great
Be glad it’s not that way every day
I can surely wait for the mundane date
So if you might… if you may….
Bring on your beauty
The likes of which I thought I’d never see
Bring on your beauty
So I know what I am free

If you feel livin’ life is too late
Realize it’s never too late to participate
The rest of your life starts today
So if you might… if you may….
Bring on your beauty
The likes of which I thought I’d never see
Bring on your beauty
So I know what I am free

LYRICS
Do you know about the flow
And do you know where to go
Where the wine flows like water
And love? You can say I caught her

Chorus
Save me a lil’ sliver
Of jammin’ on the river
Jam along the river

It sure does feel fine
Along the Brandywine
Catch a whiff there
There’s something in the air

Chorus

There’s dancing most of the time
And the melodic flow of rhyme
A party from suck to dawn
‘tellin ya, ya can’t go wrong

Chorus

LYRICS
There’s a man over there
Can’t help but stare
Most people aren’t aware

Time to call the cows in
Time to call them home
Time the birds start singin’
Time all are welcome

The man had problems
To pain will he succumb
Ah man, is society that dumb
How come?

LYRICS
In the Fall, before the leaves fall
Hard to believe it’s the color of dying
All in all, could be a good call
Relieves and re-lives in the Spring
Funny thing… once you gain understanding
The color of the foliage and old age
Takes on a whole new meaning

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight

Starlight, star bright… first star I see tonight
Or are you a planet
Venus, Mercury or Mars?
Thought jars… light traveled so far

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight

Near the eye of the eddy
Where upstream is down
Gettin’ a little heady
In a spiritual realm

Near the eye of the eddy
Jewel of the Queen’s crown
Way more than ready
With Her at the helm

Spinning round n’ round
Twirling round n’ round
Spiraling round n’ round

LYRICS
Hmmm… yum, yum, yum

Saw a reflection of a wizard
Looking up at me
Wondering how long
Our history would be

Just for fun
He thought he’d question me
“Can you tell how long
Our history will be?”

I looked into the sky
… with a sigh
“Can you tell me, Creator,
How long we will be?”

She said,
“Son, you see there’s something troubling me…
Creation termination is how it’s gonna be?”

I said,
“You’re right. Thanks for showing me the light.”

Yum, yum, yum we love eatin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love slurpin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love suckin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love throwin’ up dumb

Old King Cole was a merry old soul
Livin’ so peacefully
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
A merry old soul was he
Smokin’ his pipe and listening to his fiddlers three

Chorus
A merry old soul

Andrew Wyeth’s Brandywine bank
Makes for perfect scenery
Andrew Wyeth on Brandywine’s bank
Livin’ so peacefully
With his paints and artistry
… he’d capture history

Chorus

The indigenous Lenape
Living in Lenape
The indigenous Lenape
Livin’ so peacefully
Smokin’ peace pipes in a teepee
Dancin’ to drummers
Dancin’ to drummers
Dancin’ to drummers merrily

LYRICS
Are you awake?
There’s a big ass snake
Swimming in our water
You may wish to go no further

Why did he pick today
To come out and play
Silently slithering with no wake

Look! Upon the rock top
Coiled in the sun
Do you fell the urge to run?
Stop!

You’re sure you’re the cure
Mixer of the fixer elixir
Or snake oil salesman?

Amen

Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
Stepped into a sweatbee factory
The hornet’s nest… you’ve made a mess

Throwing that rock
… and roll
Into the rock-n-roll

Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
The ripple from the stone you throw
Has an impact… or don’t you know?

Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
Now the fish have gone away
How’re gonna eat today?

LYRICS
Did you ever wish you could be a fish
And, get that fisheye point-of-view
Have you?

Have you ever thought of being a hawk
Soaring above this 3rd world rock
Nice view

Expanding your view… can you?

Have you thought of being a dragonfly
To hover… you needn’t even try
It’s true

Expanding view… you, too

Have you ever considered being a tree
On a river’s bank… roots set free
Let’s see
Have you?

Nice view… it’s true

aka Lenape Way

LYRICS
Sitting on the bank of the Brandywine
On a day oh so fine
Watching the water flow by me
Wondering how long ’till it gets to the sea?

Floating a dream on the Brandywine
Setting sail at the pace of a snail
Drifting through our modern time
Wondering if the passing past will rain reign again

On the 7th day of the 7th month
Heading to the mouth… of the bay
Oh what a fine, fine hot summer day
On the magical mystical Lenape way
