Lyrics:

Time, time, don't it just slip away
Like these memories of yesterday
And I wonder, was I your favorite son
When you sent me down highway 101

Burn, burn, your man locked the door
Turn, turn, as you fall to the floor
And I wish, I had known you well, 
But we'll meet again, between heaven and hell

Time, time, drifting past me
Flows, yeah flows like a river to the sea
And I wonder, was there some regret,
Some small pain, hard to forget  

Time, time, don't it just slip away
Even rainbows must fade to gray
Will you be waiting, when I'm done
At the end of highway 101

Chorus
I'm sailing ghost ships on Devereaux
On dark waters of long ago
Dim reflections fill my eyes
In the night under starry skies

Highway 101 (original)

I wrote this simple song as a tribute to my daughter and for all daughters. Daughters are the true continuity of the human race. I hope the lyrics have meaning for you as they do for me. By request, I am posting the lyrics:

The seasons come and the seasons go
The flowers bloom and the north winds blow
Your heart is like a river, that floods a great plain
Your wisdom is like a shower that wakes the earth again
You........     my daughter of time

Wheel of life, keep spinning round me
Lift me up, and help me to see
Your love is like an ocean without end
Your truth is like a dreamer who cannot pretend
You.......     my daughter of time

And when I die, when the north winds blow
There'll be a child to take my place
And all I thought I knew, I didn't really know
and all I know now, I see it in your face

Don't ask for promises, I cannot keep
Just take my hand, our blood it runs deep
Your eyes are like a mirror, when you stare
Your smile is like a secret, I cannot share
 You.......     my daughter of time

The seasons come and the seasons go
The flowers bloom and the north winds blow
Your love is like an ocean without end
Your truth is like a dreamer who cannot pretend
You.......     my daughter of time


Daughter Of Time (original - tribute to my daughter - w/lyrics)

Oh, lost boy what did you see?
Did those visions of Johanna set you free?
Or did you pawn your time?
Out there on the borderline

Oh, lost boy didn't you know?
Grace doesn't fly on the wings of a crow
And your soothsayer cannot divine
Your future on the borderline

Oh, lost boy why did you roam?
Away from your heart, your home
You lost redemption at twenty-nine 
Out there on the borderline

Lost Boy (original - with lyrics)

Lyrics:
It's dark down here
Wet and cold
My momma said
Don't go down that hole
You'll end up dead
Before your time

I was born poor
And poor I'll die
Unions are busted
And the bosses lie
Wages are low
For the working man

But I'm doing all that I can

Politicians get
Bought and sold
And they don't help
Carry my load
Sometimes I think
The world has gone to hell

Some forget their troubles with
Drugs and booze
Kill their bodies 'til
There's nothing left to lose
But that ain't no answer
To poverty

And I'm doing all that I can 

Then I think of
What's important to me
My friends
And family
You can't depend on
Anyone else

I was born poor
And poor I'll die
Unions are busted
And the bosses lie
Wages are low
For the working man

But I'm doing all that I can

Crime in High Places (cover Johnny Minstrel)

It's not easy to write and perform a romantic ballad without it sounding cheesy.  It takes beautiful lines of poetry, a melody that stirs emotions, and a delivery from the heart.  I hope this song has those qualities.

Because You Are Here

A few words about the lyrics:  Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa hundreds of years ago, and yet the "smile" continues to inspire artists today. Leonardo also believed that water is to the earth what blood is to our bodies, and a waterfall is like a beating heart.

Misty Mountain Waterfall

A ballad for Meriwether Lewis, an early American hero who was most probably assassinated.  He died a lingering death and is buried along the Nachez Trace.
