Angel on the Tide

Barnstorming (Ian Farnam 2015, 2017)
Well my grandad he told me
don’t you keep your wing tips down.
Well my grandaddy told me 
don’t you plant feet on the ground.

Well maybe he wouldn't of died, 
maybe he’d still be here,
maybe he wouldn’t of died,
barnstormin' up there 

June of ‘23,
just five years old,
he saw the planes a flying
and he got it in the soul.
‘41 to’ 45
he flew through the war 
but he lived to fly again 
barnstormin' through the air. 

Well maybe he wouldn't of died, 
maybe he’d still be here,
maybe he wouldn’t of died,
barnstormin' up there, 

but the wind caught his wing,
and it tossed him through the air, 
he died doing what he loved
flying through the air. 

He was 90 years old 
cataracts in both eyes, 
couldn’t see the landing strip 
and he fell down through the sky. 

So now I’m gonna fly 
gonna cross the seven seas
now I’m gonna ride 
where wind will take me please.

Boy meets Girl (Ian Farnam 11-12-16)
Boy meets girl and they fall in love
Boy meets girl and they share a kiss
Boy meets girl and they live out their lives
And the world spins around
 
Boy meets girl and they fall in love
Boy meets girl and they fall apart
Boy meets girl and they work it all out
And the world spins around
 
Was there ever an answer
So ever simple it seems
Was there ever an answer
If you know what I mean
 
Boy meets girl and they have a kid
Boy meets girl and they have to work
Boy meets girl and their lives consume them
And the world spins around
 
Boy meets girl and times are hard
Boy meets girl and he goes to war
Boy meets girl and he comes home in a box
And the world spins around
 
Chorus
 
Boy meets girl, and one fools around.
Boy meets girl and one drinks too much
Boy meets girl and one beats the other
And the world spins around
 
Boy meets girl and one gets sick
Boy meets girl and they care for each other
Boy meets girl but then time comes
And the world spins around
 
Chorus

Boy meets girl and one loses a job
Boy meets girl and then they come together
Boy meets girl and things aren’t as bad as they seem
And the world spins around
 
Boy meets girl and they fall in love
Boy meets girl and they understand
Boy meets girl and they live out their live
And the world spins around
 
Chorus
 
Boy meets girl and they have a kid
Kid meets kid and they have a kid
Kid meets kid and they have a kid

Boy Meets Girl

PINK MOON MAN - Ian Farnam 2017
Oh please, doctor 
remove my brain, 
replace it with another heart, 
so that I can love again
And when my first heart breaks, 
and like glass it shatters, 
the second heart will save 
all that matters

Oh please doctor take my call. 
Oh please doctor don’t stonewall

You can put me on the pills 
you gave the pink moon man, 
but oh please doctor 
have a plan
For the he and Phil Ochs 
are under the earth, 
and no one will ever know 
his true full worth

Oh please mother, I’m in the hall. 
Oh please mother, I feel another fall

Oh please brother, I’m like lightning in the rain. 
Oh please brother, my hopes are down the drain.

I spent a week in heaven 
And another week in hell, 
I don’t know how 
But somehow I fell
I been running round. 
I got no destination
I ain’t going nowhere,
I got no hesitation

I been in my mind and my mind’s been in me
Oh please sister let me be.

Love was supposed to bring 
meaning to my life 
And music was supposed to save 
me from love struggle and strife
But now I see 
its greatest illusion
I wasn’t born for 
this cold fusion
