Oh Sally my dear, it's you I'd be kissing
Oh Sally my dear, it's you I'd be kissing
She smiled and replied "You don't know what you're missing"

Oh Sally my dear, I wish I could wed you
Oh Sally my dear, I wish I could wed you
She smiled and replied "Then you'd say I misled you"

If all the young men were hares on the mountain
If all the young men were hares on the mountain
How many young girls would take guns and go hunting

If all the young men were fish in the water
If all the young men were fish in the water
How many young girls would undress and dive under

If the young men could sing like blackbirds and thrushes
If the young men could sing like blackbirds and thrushes
How many young girls would go beating the bushes

But the young men are given to frisking and fooling
But the young men are given to frisking and fooling
I'll leave them alone and return to my schooling

Hares On The Mountain

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
traveling through this world below
there'll be no sadness, toil or danger
in that bright land to which I go

I'm going there to see my Father
He said he'd meet me when I go
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home

I know dark clouds gather around me
I know my way is rough and steep
but beauteous fields lie before me
and in that bright land I'm gonna sleep

I'm going there to see my Mama
I'm going there, no more to roam
I'm just runnin' on to meet her
I'm just going over home

Holy Father, here I am

Wayfaring Stranger

- drums by Johnny Rezende-Shalom -

I hear your voice in the empty container
the house and the center of my chest
the weak imposition you made
as you beat on my breast
All the last month, blue Brazilian postcards
are falling apart in my hands
and Lost Blue Darling is searching for me again

Ave Maria
fires are caving in the roof
and we're here
watching dying embers
feeling just unreal

One day, three stars will be too far apart
to hear one another burn, so
all I'm saying is
take a light when you go

Ave Maria
fires are caving in the roof
and we're here
watching dying embers
feeling just unreal

Not everything fades
Ave Maria, Ave Maria
fires are caving in the roof
and we're here
watching dying embers
feeling just unreal

Maria

Wild autumn sky
made me realize
not like other guys -
You stop and start
in my heart

Great city lives
pour out from my brain -
Memories in stain -
but in your plains
there is no shame

Great Maytime rain
made me insane -
not like on the bus -
just the two of us,
till the dust

Till The Dust

ruby prince

We met and loved and parted
I thought the world of you
You leave me brokenhearted
To me you've been untrue

I'm leaving old Virginia
There's nothing for me here
I know you love another
You've made that very clear

Dark and stormy weather
Still inclines to rain
Clouds hang over center
My love's gone away on the train

You told me that you loved me
I believed every word you said
But now you love another
And I wish I was dead

Dark and stormy weather
Still inclines to rain
Clouds hang over center
My love's gone away on the train

Dark And Stormy Weather

I'd say you make a perfect
Angel in the snow
All crushed out on the way you are
Better stop before it goes too far

Don't you know that I love you?
Sometimes I feel like
Only a cold still life
That fell down here to lay beside you

Don't you know that I love you?
Sometimes I feel like
Only a cold still-life
Only a frozen still life
That fell down here just to lay beside you

Angel In the Snow

Ankled Cinderblock

Lay down, sweet boy, lay down
I should see your sleepy eyes close
Let's not talk about tomorrow
Tomorrow we never know

You told me that you love me
High on the razor's edge
No god above or below me
Will let me wind up dead

Maybe I'm afraid I'll slip your mind
All at once or here around, in kind
All at once or years
It feels the same

Drink up, good boy, drink it down
Fill your hands with silver water
Feel the slither of evil down your throat
And treat her like you bought her

I tell you that I love you
As you roll on the razor's edge
No more Carolina maze
Or I'm gonna wind up dead

Maybe I'm afraid I'll slip your mind
Find another thing like this and hide
All at once or years
It feels the same

I'll Slip Your Mind

Been a long night looking after you
Baby I'm on
Little girl floats by your room
Whistling a song

Hold me, baby
If it's a wrap
The hour mama comes to call you home
I think I've loved you long enough to know

Your mom comes by just after 2
We share dinner on a waiting room chair
I suspect she's tired of you
But honey I know you don't care

Hold me baby
If it's a wrap
The hour mama comes to call you home
I think I've loved you long enough to know

Another long, long night at Harborview
All I want is time
I watch your window turn blue
And sunrise sketch a skyline
I shut my eyes and pray for you
Can't believe I call you mine
