Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I love you. January, February, into March and April, Same way too. May, June and July, I never let a day go by Without a kiss for you to remember Just in case you go away in August or September In October and November, Not to mention cold […]

Gentle on my mind
Glen Campbell announces he has Alzheimers: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/06/23/3251159.htm It’s knowing that your door is always open And your path is free to walk That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag Rolled up and stashed behind your couch And it’s knowing I’m not shackled By forgotten words and bonds And the ink stains that have […]
Diamonds and Rust
Well I’ll be damned Here comes your ghost again But that’s not unusual It’s just that the moon is full And you happened to call And here I sit Hand on the telephone Hearing a voice I’d known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall
Buckets of rain
Buckets of rain Buckets of tears Got all them buckets coming out of my ears Buckets of moonbeams in my hand You got all the love honey baby I can stand.
Treaty by Yothu Yindi

The people’s flag is deepest red, It shrouded oft our martyred dead, And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold, Their hearts’ blood dyed its ev’ry fold. Then raise the scarlet standard high.

alive and free
We are sailing on the seas for Jersey Clipper In search of things we yet have come to know We are sailing hard and looking for adventure We are alive and free Just being you and me Out on the rolling sea A thousand miles from home ~ from Jersey Clipper by Julian Shaw
Hallelujah
Well I heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don’t really care for music, do ya? Well it goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well Your faith was strong […]
Taint nobody’s biz-nes if I do
If I should take a notion to jump into the ocean ‘taint nobody’s biz-ness if I do, do, do, do. If I go to church on Sunday, then just shimmy down on Monday, ‘Taint nobody’s biz-nes if I do if I do. If my friend ain’t got no money and I say take all mine, […]
