A Song For Jeffrey
A song gonna lose my way tomorrow,
Gonna give away my car.
Id take you along with me,
But you would not go so far.
Dont see what I do not want to see,
You dont hear what I dont say.
Wont be what I dont want to be,
I continue in my way.
Dont see, see, see where Im goin,
Dont see, see, see where Im goin,
Dont see, see, see where Im goin to,
I dont want to.
Everyday I see the mornin come on in the same old way.
I tell myself tomorrow brings me things I would not dream today.

The Water Carrier
Crystal fountain springing from the hill.
It irrigates your soul. you may drink your fill.
Water of life, carried high.
One hand upon the gallon jar. feel her fix my eye.
Every good travellers for the taking.
All good money for the making.
Sellers market: wet appeal.
Water carrier------lets make the deal.
Covered face and black pool eyes.
Between us, no words spoken: no words to the wise.
Heres to another time and a drink somewhere.
Plush on a nain carpet; on a caf chair.

Sealion Ii
Would you like to see my lion
My friend cecil is damp and smooth
A damp smooth sea lion
Yes, cecil is a sea lion
(cecil is a sea lion)
Cecil is a clever sea lion
Cecil sometimes swims
And often sits
(and balances multicolored striped balls? )
Yes, balances multicolored striped balls
Clever cecil
(cecil is a sea lion)
Cecil the sea lion is serene
He doesnt wear spectacles or a scarf
(no central heating or cement)
Well [but? ] the whole ocean is cecils home
(cecil is a sea lion)

Hunt By Numbers
Hey little buddies:
Soft and silky night walkers.
Dangerous species -
Tiptoe menace long grass stalkers
On my bed:
No butter melting in your jaws.
Bonding monster -
Lethal weapon wearing claws.
Lets go out to hunt by numbers.
Tabby, spotted, black as coal -
Serval, margy, caracal.
Moggie in the moonlight listens:
Whiskered sensory miracle.
Felis, befriend us -
Egyptian mau - freyas familiar.
Long in the future -
Cloned disciples, the castle guard.
Now, lets go out and hunt by numbers.

To Be Sad Is A Mad Way To Be
Ive been about dizzy now, to be sad as a man will be.
Ive been about dizzy now, to be sad as a man will be.
Dont miss my point of view, without lookinyou wont see.
You bout to believe it now: you can be happy everyday.
Dont believe a little word now, you can be happy everyday.
The merry time youll ever have, you wear it down in everyway.
Ive been about dizzy now, to be sad as a man will be.
Ive been about dizzy now, to be sad as a man will be.
Dont need to wear this thing out, you wear it down in everyway.

Sunshine Day
Woke up this morning to look at things in their funny way.
Why cant they be like they used to be only yesterday.
Ooh --- bring back my sunshine day.
I look at things that once were mine with such despair.
Why do the things I say only fall on empty air?
Ooh --- bring back my sunshine day.
My mind cries: bring back my sunshine day.
I say the things I used to say, but they dont seem right.
Why does this world seem like the darkest endless night?
Ooh --- bring back my sunshine day.
Bring back my sunshine day.

Hymn 43
Oh father high in heaven -- smile down upon your son
Whose busy with his money games -- his women and his gun.
Oh jesus save me!
And the unsung western hero killed an indian or three
And made his name in hollywood
To set the white man free.
Oh jesus save me!
If jesus saves -- well, hed better save himself
From the gory glory seekers who use his name in death.
Oh jesus save me!
I saw him in the city and on the mountains of the moon --
His cross was rather bloody --
He could hardly roll his stone.
Oh jesus save me!

Fire At Midnight
I believe in fires at midnight ---
When the dogs have all been fed.
A golden toddy on the mantle ---
A broken gun beneath the bed.
Silken mist outside the window.
Frogs and newts slip in the dark ---
Too much hurry ruins the body.
Ill sit easy ... fan the spark
Kindled by the dying embers of another working day.
Go upstairs ... take off your makeup ---
Fold your clothes neatly away.
Me, Ill sit and write this love song
As I all too seldom do ---
Build a little fire this midnight.
Its good to be back home with you.

Black Satin Dancer
Come, let me play with you, black satin dancer.
In all your giving, given is the answer.
Tearing life from limb and looking sweeter than the
Brightest flower in my garden.
Begging your pardon --- shedding right unreason.
Over sensation fly the fleeting seasons.
Thin wind whispering on broken mandolin.
Bending the minutes --- the hours ever turning on that
Old gold story of mercy.
Desperate breathing. tongue nipple-teasing.
Your fast river flowing --- your northern fire fed.
Come, black satin dancer, come softly to bed.

Alive & Well & Living In
Nobody sees her here, her eyes are slowly closing.
If she should want some peace, she sits there, without moving,
And puts a pillow over the phone.
And if she feels like dancing no one will know it.
Giving herself a chance theres no need to show her how it should be.
She cant remember now when she was all in pieces.
Shes quite content to sit there listening to what he says.
How he didnt like to be alone.
And if he feels like crying shes there to hear him.
No reason to complain and nothing to fear, they always will be...
