Slipstream
Well the lush separation unfolds you --
And the products of wealth
Push you along on the bow wave
Of the spiritless undying selves.
And you press on gods waiter your last dime --
As he hands you the bill.
And you spin in the slipstream --
Timeless -- unreasoning --
Paddle right out of the mess.

A Time For Everything
Once it seemed there would always be
A time for everything.
Ages passed I knew at last
My life had never been.
Id been missing what time could bring.
Fifty years and Im filled with tears and joys
I never cried.
Burn the wagon and chain the mule.
The past is all denied.
Theres no time for everything.
No time for everything.

Stormy Monday Blues
I said they call it stormy monday
But I said [...]
I said they call it stormy monday
[...]
Wednesdays full of sorrow,
I said that thursdays oh-so, its oh-so-sad. its oh-so-sad.
I said lord, lord, why dont you have mercy,
You gotta have mercy on me.
I been trying to find my woman,
Wont you bring her home to me?
I said they call it stormy monday.

Driving Song
Will they ever stop drivin me?
Have they ever taken time to see
That I need some rest
If Im to do my best?
Can I please stop workin so hard?
They just tell me gotta close it hard.
Got to think of my health.
Can I be by myself?
Oh, they tell me Ill be home someday.
Well I doubt it if I continue this way,
'cause this hard life Ive led
Is makin me dead.

Set-aside
Hard black crows bobbing where once ran deep furrows.
Frazzled oak silhouetted in her ivy dress.
Winter sun catches dog fox through thin hedges:
Throws his long shadow north to the emptiness.
Farmhouse in tatters; shuttered and battered.
Even lovers dont go there these last few years.
Spider-web windows on set-aside heroes
Standing lost in a landscape of tears.

Bad-Eyed And Loveless
Yes'n she's bad-eyed and loveless
A young man's fancy and an old man's dream
I'm self-raising and I flower in her company
Give me no sugar without her cream
She's a warm fart at Cristmas
She's a breath of Champagne on a sparkling night
Yes'n she's bad-eyed and loveless
Turns other women to envious green
Yes'n she's bad-eyed and loveless
A young man's vision - in my old man's dream

Some Day The Sun Wont Shine For You
In the morning -- gonna get my things together.
Packing up and Im leaving this place.
I dont believe youll cry, therell be a smile upon your face.
I didnt think how much youd hurt me.
Thats something that I laugh about.
Bring in the good times, baby.
And let the bad times out.
That old sun keeps on shining,
But someday it wont shine for you.
In the morning Ill be leaving.
Ill leave your mother too.

Just Trying To Be
There was a time when you were so young and walked in their way.
They made you feel they loved you all-seeing they say.
Youre going wrong if their game you dont play
And that the song I sing will leave you astray.
Unfeeling, feel lonely rejection,
Unknowing, know youre going wrong.
And they cant see that were just trying to be,
And not what we seem,
And even now believe that its not real and only a dream.
