When the sunlight hits the water
And all the ripples sparkle gold
You meet with mother nature's daughter 
She's a wonder to behold
You can feel the life arising
As the crickets buzz and jump
And all the earth's awake and thriving
And you can tell the time has come 

Chorus:
And when you know you know you know
You just feel what's there to feel
You're gonna go where you got to go
to dream the dream and make it real
You gotta be what you got to be
When you see her there you see
When you know you know you know

And the spirit's there to guide you
And you've woken up to love
You can feel it there inside you
You just have to open up
And the heat is like a furnace
But the water's cold and sweet
Just to see her makes you nervous
Til your eyes will softly meet

Chorus

M8
That love has finally found its way to you after oh so long
Love has finally come and made you it's own

When you roll down to the river
And you hear those crickets play
When you see the gold light shimmer
Off the crest of every wave
Well if you meet her there you'll feel it
The ancient spell re-cast anew
You say the words and know you mean it
No, no-one teaches it to you  

Chorus

You Know You Know

"Greed (What More Do You Want)" (#489, 210807)

 * co-written with Texas Dave * 

I’m sick of my Ford
Lord gimme’ a Cadillac
I always want more
Ain’t that a fact

Look in the mirror and ask myself
What I’d say to someone else

What more do you want
What more do you need
When we already have it all
Anything more is greed

My bathtub’s too little
Give me a pool
A fountain in the middle
That would be cool

Look in the mirror and ask myself
What I’d say to someone else

What more do you want
What more do you need
When we already have it all
Anything more is greed

Could use more money
How about my own bank
And a good lookin’ honey
Please and thanks

Songaweek Week 34
songaweek.org theme: Shape of your shadow
r/songaweek theme: Reverb

Aren't we peculiar 
Aren't we estranged
Aren't we indifferent
Aren't we unchanged


The look on your face 
The shape of your shadow
A twisted projection of your soul
The gestures you make
The sound of your echo
A twisted projection of your soul


2x
Please tell me 
what you think  and
Please show me
what you got
I'm on the
brink of losing hope

For gooo_ooood


Aren't we audacious
Aren't we afraid
Aren't we imprudent
Aren't we astray

Shape of your shadow

Revisiting some of my band Side Street catalog from 1970s with some new musicians on board - Jarod Fedele on drums and Neal Morse on lead guitar.

Sunstroke

see again
free again
Welcoming the promise of the light
Walk again 
Talk again
Soon the darkness will be far behind

You held my hand and led me through the shadows
I saw the shape of all that is to come
I held my breath to dived into the water ever flowing
To swim into your depths of love 
Nothing   here will be enough

Dream again
Need again
Call among the planets and the stars
Fall again
War again
Shake the cosmic ruins of my heart

You held my hand and led me through the shadows
I saw the shape of all that is to come
I held my breath to dived into the river ever flowing
To swim into your arms of love 
Nothing here will be enough

Steal again
Feel Again
Open up my eyes that blind my shame
Break again
Make amends
Change the way my shadow hides in rain

Oh your arms of love
Welcome all of me
Shatter all the pain
let the rusty chains fall free

Week 35 Prompt: Batter Up!

Note about the song: I'm actually not old enough to have actually seen some of the baseball players mentioned in this song, but honest to goodness, my little toddler heart swooned for Paul Molitor, who left the Milwaukee Brewers to play for the Toronto Blue Jays. 

--

well i remember when i was just a kid
we'd pile into that pick-up truck and we'd get on in
and we'd head down to County Stadium
down in ol' Milwaukee
cheering on the Brewers with soda and coffee

always had a bag of snacks
forget those cheap crackerjacks
peanuts and starburst and licorice galore
screaming out the players' names
even though we'd missed the '82 team 
just the same still got to see some of the big time stars

like Robin Yount, Rollie Fingers, 
and my favourite one of all, 
Paulie Molitor before he went on to 
Toronto and all
i'd scream and i'd hoot and 
i'd holler with the best
scream, "Batter Up! Uh, who's next?"

and all those times when we 
couldn't get down to the game
down at the ballpark, it didn't matter, 
we could listen just the same
to Mr. Baseball himself, Bob Uecker, 
calling out every play
"Batter Up!" i'd listen to him say

oh those sweet memories
they stay with me
listening to the baseball game with my family
hearing the sound of the ball crack against the bat
oh i'll remember nights like that

Batter Up!
