Hawker’s Request 

Sing from the chamber to the grave
Thus did the dead man say
A sound of melody I crave
Upon my burial-day
Bring forth some tuneful instruments
And let your voices rise
My spirit listened, as it went
To the music of the skies 

Chorus
Let’s sing a song for a passing 
One last song to lead us on
A Cornish song for our loved ones 
And to guide our spirits home

Sing sweetly while you travel on
And keep the funeral slow
The angels sing where I am gone
And you should sing below
Sing from the threshold to the porch
Until you hear the bell
And sing you loudly in the church
The Psalms I love so well

Chorus 

Then bear me gently to my grave
And as you pass along
Remember twas my wish to have
A pleasant funeral song
So earth to earth, and dust to dust
And though my flesh decay
My soul shall sing among the just
Until the Judgment-day Until the Judgment-day 

Chorus x2


Hawker's Request

I remember talking to my daddy
Oh so long ago
His vacant eyes, staring sadly
Oh so long ago
It didn’t matter what he said
Oh so long ago
‘cause I remember, how he’d hold his head
Oh so long ago
Before I saw the world, so dark
And happiness was being at the park
And I would hold his finger in my hand.

I remember when the world was clean
Oh, so long ago
Reality was hard to tell from dreams
Oh so long ago
I’d creep down at night when I didn’t feel safe
Oh so long ago
My daddy'd be there by the fireplace
Oh so long ago
Before the pain started hurting
I guess my life wasn’t starting
Now my daddy can’t help me
I’m on my own

It’s too late to hold me
That time has passed
I know that I am alone

My daddy said that he was sorry
Oh so long ago
I guess that’s why I feel melancholy
And on my own
A puzzled look upon his face
Oh so long ago
I wish I could return to that place
Oh so long ago

When life was simple
And smiles, were ready
When I had my daddy

So Long Ago

HAVE A LOT TO SAY

Photo/Art: Scout 
After nearly losing one of my new kittens, Scout, to the deadly parasite Toxoplasma gondii (Toxoplasmosis), which caused some horrifying neurological symptoms, including body twitches, I decided to express my feelings about the experience in song using my new DAW. The song is upbeat because she recovered, and is now parasite free!

Lyrics:
What's real or not I don't know
It ebbs and it flows
Mysteries of my mind, nobody knows

I take your word as truth, sing your song today

I'm confused and so are you
Fighting for a cause cuz' they told us to
Blind reason that we think is always true
Lead to dirty water but it tastes so sweet
Washed my brain I cannot sleep
It's funny that we cannot think

Take your word as truth, never understand
The game they play with our brain, It's  not OK
We always lose

When will we begin to stand and rise
And see through their, their thin disguise 

It's such a shame that it's all a game
They play with our lives
Used for their selfish gain, they have no compromise

Stand and Rise

Games
