LYRICS
At hand is the issue
Command the overview
Our fate is up to you
What on earth will you do?
The destiny of society
Is in your hands
The devastating mortality
No one understands

At hand is the issue
Demand to be in queue
Our date to pursue
Has com upon you
The destiny of society
Is in your hands
The devastating mortality
No one understands

LYRICS
When you look out what do you see
Infinity
When you look out what do you see
Mortality
When you look out what do you see
From see to shining see?
When all that matters
From see to shining see
Treads tranquil waters
From see to shining see

When you look out what do you see
Reality
When you look out what do you see
Blasphemy
When you look out what do you see
From see to shining see?
When all that matters
From see to shining see
Treads tranquil waters
From see to shining see

bookmark_borderThe Sharp Edge

LYRICS
I hate to harp
But which edge is sharp?
Do you understand
Running with scissors in hand
Could be detrimental
To your mental…
Stability
Or even your basic ability
Consider going gentle
Ever so slightly
Tread lightly
Teetering on the ledge
With the sharp edge
Driving a wedge
Between us
Dangerous

You’re the best kind of friend to have
So kind
Out of my mind
And end to have
The means

bookmark_borderThrows A Pose

LYRICS
When the occasion arose
I suppose…
He wanted to strike
A special pose
Strike a pose
Spectacular
It comes natural
So stoic
In the thick
A star
Spectacular
You are
Fantastic
Giving the kick
Stoic
In the thick

Then, the occasion arose
One of those
Instinctively throws a pose

Spectacular
It comes natural
So stoic
In the thick
A star
Spectacular
You are
Fantastic
Giving the kick
Stoic
In the thick

A song about man’s best friend.

Coversong originally made famous by Thin Lizzy
Written by Phil Lynott and Brian Downey

A           E       F#m         E   D
I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail
A               E                  F#m   E    D
A starry night, the campfire light
A          E     F#m             E    D
The coyote call, and the howling winds wail
A             E              F#m     E     D
So I'll ride out, to the old sundown
D   Amaj7  Bm7 A (x 2)

A           E       F#m         E   D
I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail
A              E                        F#m   E   D
Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female
A                   E         F#m       E   D
The nights we spent together, riding on the range
A             E           F#m       E   D
Looking back, it seems so strange

D                Amaj7
Roll me over and turn me around
Bm7                         A
Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
D                Amaj7
Roll me over and let me go
Bm7           A
Riding in the rodeo

A             E      F#m            E   D
I was took in Texas, I did not know her name
A              E              F#m               E  D
Lord all these southern girls they seem the same
A              E            F#m             E  D
Down below the border, in a town in Mexico
A            E                      F#m     E  D
I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo

Rooooll me over,          and I'll turn around

         Up and down
D       Amaj7    Bm7        A
It's ok amigo,   Just let me go
D   Amaj7  Bm7           A
           Riding in the rodeo
A  E  F#m  E  D (x 4)
[Chorus]

LYRICS
Did you lose your place
Or is abandonment
Meant?
Are you lost in space
Abandoned your race
Spent?
Looking down from above
Just in search of

Did you fall from grace
Or is dismemberment
Meant?
Lost without a trace
Your inheritance
Spent
Looking down from above
Just in search of
Love

bookmark_borderKeeping Time

LYRICS
All of our ducks in a row
In time
All the “give #ucks” got to go
Good time
In time
Keep time and banter a rhyme
In time to the beat of our heat

All of our “I’s” dotted
Spotted
All of our “t’s” crossed
Tossed
None of our loves forgotten
Gone rotten
None of our love has been lost
Not lost
Keep time and banter a rhyme
In time to the beat of our heat
In good time the beat’ll be mine
If I can get the heart to start

LYRICS
Watch the tide begin rollin’ in
The force of nature at our door
For sure
Castles of sand
Can not withstand
Going under
Humans’ wonder

As the tide begins rollin’ in
Not too soon
Blame the moon
Howl, loon
Castles of sand
Can not withstand
Going under
Humans’ wonder

Find out when the tide rolls out
Just in case you had a doubt about
Castles of sand
Can not withstand
The force of man
Not man’s demand
Going under
Humans’ wonder

bookmark_borderRockettail Tale

SpaceX Rocket Launch March 2021

LYRICS
Swear you saw a comet?
It was a rocket
Taking off
Near, though not a comet
Launch of a rocket
Gone aloft
Cradling a precious payload
ON to the open road
No fear beyond the stratosphere
In space…
The road is clear
In space…
no roadblock fear
When angels are near

Soon, pit stop on the moon
Pretty far from Mars
Are you sure… there goes Jupiter
Take us…
Back round Venus
Toward the sun for fun

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was written on March 14, 2021 after listening to someone talk about the magnificent comet they had seen that morning. Actually, it was a Space X rocket launching.

LYRICS
If it wasn’t up and coming
The End” of the day
I wouldn’t know what to say
with all the to and froming
Had along the way
Almost forgot to play
Remembering “The End” comes quick
I’m optimizing time
Rendering into the thick
To make the best of “I’m”

Yet, it is still approaching
The End” of the day
Reminding me what to say
With all the care and coaching
Had along the way
Turned out to be O.K.

bookmark_borderLast Wish

LYRICS
All I could have wished for
Happened long, long ago
At least that is what I thought
Because I didn’t know
Now that times are changing
Our “are” is rearranging
A new wish is coming to me
I wish for three
Love ONE another
(Come take my hand)
TO be a lover
Where the angels hover
(We’ll all understand)
THREE lost discovered
Wishes recovered
(Life is at hand)

Wish number 3
What could it be
Is wish for 4
Wish number four:
I wish for more
Love ONE another
(Come take my hand)
TO be a lover
Where the angels hover
(We’ll all understand)
THREE lost discovered
Wishes recovered
(Life is at hand)
