Roll On, River   c. 2023 by Mike Manetz

V. 1
The river was Timucuan,
Before the comin' of the white-man's gun.
'Neath the giant cypress trees,
They fished the river wild and free.
Spanish priests came one day,
Taught the natives how to pray,
Named the river Santa Fe,
River watched them fade away.

Chorus
Roll on, river,
On and on forever,
She'll be rollin' on when we're all passed and gone.
Through centuries of hopes and dreams,
Conquistadors, fools and thieves,
Roll on, river,
Roll on,
River, roll on...

V2
Cracker cowboys took control,
After driving out the Seminole.
Their cattle on the muddy banks,
Would feed the hungry rebel ranks.
Black man runnin' to be free, 
Down the Santa Fe on to the sea.
Midnight paddle down to where,
A Yankee gunboat's waitin' there.

Chorus

V 3  
Lovers at O'Leno town,
On a swingin' bridge they're lookin' down,
River rushes there below,
Like a thousand years ago.
Their kids will play computer games,
They'll forget the history and the names,
But the river holds the memories,
Of all she touches, all she sees...

Chorus




Their kids will play computer games,
They'll forget the history and the names,
Of all of those who came before,
Guess it doesn't matter anymore...

Centuries of hopes and dreams,
Conquistadors, fools and thieves,
All they left is all but washed away,
Their kids will play computer games,
And forget the history and the names,
of all of those who came before,
They don't care much for that anymore...

Roll On, River

[Hook]
Time is a playing field
Is this ever real
Do you ever feel
Thoughts are never still

Time ticking only tell
Highs that always filll
All the lowest chills

Bedsheets we lay instead
Fantasy never end
so much time to spend
Moment dividend
Energy blend

[Verse 1]
Say that everything’s cool okay
I’m not running from my mind’s highway
Ain’t no one else to blame
For the better imma never be the same
Sharper tip to my blade
Keep it straight
Kill the rhymes call me death lo the grave
Ground myself in outer space
Got lose it all to find your way

[Hook]
Time is a playing field
Is this ever real
Do you ever feel
Thoughts are never still

Time ticking only tell
Highs that always filll
All the lowest chills

Bedsheets we lay instead
Fantasy never end
so much time to spend
Moment dividend

[Verse 2]
Same old trip it was back then
All new faces different friends
New phases natures dividends
Bliss and torment in unison
Lost myself now anew again

Attention that I had spent
Wanting moments like this I’m in

Tell you that it’s okay
Even when you cried yesterday
Say it’s safe to feel out this pace
Lay your head on me it’s safe
Present is your place

No vacay from the past
Moment’s not like the last

Your history’s not repeat
No need to second guess your instinct
Only wanna be in sync
Let your pain speak
Promise it’s safe with me
On this plane I’m on
Wonder why would life do you wrong
But it’s what makes you strong

Unfolding fantasies to live again
Beauty green rolling love in it
Lace it with the pleasure that we’re giving in

[Outro]
Time is a playing field…
Is this ever real…?
Do you ever feel..?
Time ticking only tell, highs that always fill..all the lowest chills
Bedsheets we lay instead..
Fantasy never end..so much time to spend..

Written by James Geer

Thanks, love. Was all I said
Thanks, love. Keep the change
Thanks, love. That alone was our exchange

Thanks love for the obvious affection 
Thanks love, thou we must part
Thanks love for leaving with me in my heart

I feel, absolutely fine
I feel, like I’m naked in the rain
I feel, like a valentine 
Like I’m drinking champagne 

I feel, like I can outshine
I feel, like I’m the rain
I feel like I’m a friend of mine
Like I’m drinking champagne

Thanks love was all I said
Thanks love was I insane?
Thanks love for walking with me in the rain

I feel, reborn and alive
I lay with you in my brain
I feel right and revived
Like I’m drinking champagne

Thanks, love

Written by James Geer

A sinking ship at sea
Sends an urgent plea
Signaling Distress
It Sends an sos

Just the other day
You looked at me that way
My heart was put in play
And I became your prey

Too soon for me to scar
Or hitch upon your star
I’m sinking in your sea
Someone rescue me

Save our ship

Only women bleed (cover)

Just wrote this song and did a one take demo.

Bless Me Father - Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

Bless me Father I have sinned again
Tried so hard but took her name in vain
Then there was that big moon
Shining through the window pane

Thought the bitter dust had settled down
Didn’t quite know that it was still around
In a flash it fell upon me
And brought me to the ground

I’m down on my knees
At the altar of the Beast
Old waters flow
The dark lights still glow
Angry gods surround me
And they refuse to speak 
An empty silence my reward
A mortal at her feet

Is this the hour the stones arise
Is this the moment all nature cries
Mourning deep and terrified
When a spirit dies

All the blessed holy saints have failed
None of them could hear the wail
None of eyes nor of ears avail
Just icons from a sale

I’m down on my knees
At the altar of the Beast
Old waters flow
The dark lights still glow
Angry gods surround me
And they refuse to speak
An empty silence my reward
A mortal at her feet

I carry flowers to an unmarked grave
Here lies the lost unsaved
The Keeper beckons me to gaze
So deep the abyss lay

Bless me Father I have sinned again
So deep the abyss lay
Bless me Father I have sinned again
So deep the abyss lay
