Love  And  Affection _ Katie Morgan /Brian Clayton

If You Could Read My Mind - Gordon Lightfoot - circa 1970
If you could read my mind, Love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie 'bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And, I will never be set free as long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
If I could read your mind, Love, what a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel, the kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come, the hero won't be me
Because heroes often fail
You won't read that book again, because the end is just too hard to take
I walk away like a movie star, who gets burned in a three-way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene of bringin' all the good things out in me
But, for now, Love, let's be real.....
I never thought I could act this way, and I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong, but the feeling's gone....
And, I just can't get it back
(Repeat Chorus 'Blended' Verse.....and Out)

Together Forever
Lyrics by John Nicholson
Music by Kate Stanton

Colored boats drift on by
Mountains standing proud and high
He's dressed like winter's passed him by
But tomorrow's promise is not a lie

And he gets you to see his ways
Like a scene from those old Shakespeare plays
You’ve now seen what he holds inside
Crashing in like a high spring tide

And you always want to be with him
Until your eyes are old and dim
You want to walk this path together
Step by step onwards forever

And you keep on checking in on him
As stones on the water skim
Seen from the lookout on the hill 
Above the water dark and still

And you always thought you knew the path
Coz he knew when to frown and when to laugh
His looks are beyond compare
But that he knows just isn’t fair 

And you always want to be with him
Until your eyes are old and dim
You want to walk this path together
Step by step onwards forever

But dawn appears on faint horizons
Painting pictures on the skyline
His smile his look his sweet suggestions
Gives answers to all your questions

There seems to me, more tea in China
And really there is nothing finer
Given with his God's grace
the sun shining on his face

And you always want to be with him
Until your eyes are old and dim
You want to walk this path together
Step by step onwards forever

Together Forever (feat lyrics by John Nicholson)

Shaddow On The Wall { Dont Turn The Lights Out} by Brian Clayton

Take it Easy

This is a song that has great meaning to me. My mother suffered with dementia for most of the last 7 or 8 years of her life, and as her only child I became like her parent. Having watched this strange and difficult process, and lived through it with her, I began to write this song. I've tried to capture the emptiness and despair of what dementia, or Alzheimer's, causes its victims. At the same time I wanted to express my vision of her ultimate release from suffering. I hope it offers some comfort and hope for others who have had, or are having such experiences. This release is actually a somewhat updated version of the track I had previously released on SoundCloud.

Lyrics: Wisconsin Shoreline by Craig Durgy

What you gonna do when the words are hard to find
And your busy world escapes your dizzy mind
What you gonna do when you can’t tell dusk from dawn
When your son’s your dad and your friends are just plain gone

Where you gonna go when you don’t know where you’ve been
And you lose your keys and your dignity again and again
Where you gonna go when the door is so unsure
And the doctor seems so certain there’s no cure

Oh, Wisconsin shoreline that’s my home, it comes back to me
How did I get here, so alone, so unhappy to be
Did you happen to see…what has happened to me?

How you gonna feel when your reasons let you down
And their reasonable decisions push you around
How you gonna feel when New England gets so cold
Where your husband died and left you to get old

Who you gonna turn to, what’s the name?
Why is this happening, who’s to blame?
Where is this place I shouldn’t be?
When can I leave what’s come of me?

(chorus)

Close your eyes and rest,
And soon you’ll realize your life’s been blessed
Those clouds will fall away, and the light will come I pray
And I know you will recall, they will be there one and all
Quiet and so still, sitting by your final battle of the will
And I know as you move on, I’ve got you back now Mom
Now put your best dress on, they’ll be waiting, everyone
(chorus)
