Königskind


All deine Tage und all deine Wege, er kennt sie
Alles hält der Herr in seiner Hand
All deine Träume und all deine Ziele, er sieht sie
Wir vertrauen seinem Plan 

Darum legen wir dich in seine schützenden Hände
Und beten, dass du immer wieder spürst

Du bist von Gott geliebt
Einzigartig gemacht
Glaube daran, was er zu dir sagt
Du bist unvergleichlich, kunstvoll ausgedacht
Du bist ein Königskind
Vom Höchsten bewacht
Reichlich beschenkt mit Liebe und Kraft 
Du bist unvergleichlich wertvoll, denn du bist ein Königskind

All deine Ängste und all deine Sorgen, versteht er
Alles hält der Herr in seiner Hand
All deine Freude und all deine Hoffnung erfreut sein Herz
Er will dir nah sein

Darum legen wir dich in seine schützenden Hände
Und beten, dass du immer wieder spürst

Du bist von Gott geliebt
Einzigartig gemacht
Glaube daran, was er zu dir sagt
Du bist unvergleichlich, kunstvoll ausgedacht
Du bist ein Königskind
Vom Höchsten bewacht
Reichlich beschenkt mit Liebe und Kraft 
Du bist unvergleichlich wertvoll, denn du bist ein Königskind

Er sieht dich
Er liebt dich
Er kennt dich
Er trägt dich
Beschützt dich und segnet dich
Er behütet, begabt dich
Versorgt und versteht dich
Du bist sein geliebtes Kind

Du bist von Gott geliebt
Einzigartig gemacht
Glaube daran, was er zu dir sagt
Du bist unvergleichlich, kunstvoll ausgedacht
Du bist ein Königskind
Vom Höchsten bewacht
Reichlich beschenkt mit Liebe und Kraft 
Du bist unvergleichlich wertvoll, denn du bist ein Königskind

This song is for anyone who is sick and tired of being lied to and manipulated by the powers that be.

I ran into an old friend he didn't have much to say
I said "hoss how you feeling? You ain't looking to good these days"
So we ducked inside this little dive and we had a drink or three
He said I don't mind talking now 'cause it's the only thing that's free
I feel like I'm up against and no one gives a damn
People just look right through me yeah they don't remember who I am
I wanna be my brother's keeper but sometimes I just don't care
I wanna cut it loose, gonna light my fuse
Let em know that I'm really there.

'Cause I'd rather be drinkin in hell than sober in heaven
Rolling with them snake eyes up instead of seven eleven
Screaming with the losers at the winners
Fighting them saints with the sinners
Well I'd rather be drinkin' in hell than sober in heaven.

I've been hunkered down and laying low but the bills keep coming 'round
I could use some stimulation but it's nowhere to be found
They say just grin and bear it son because help is on the way
All I got is time in the hiring line while I'm waiting on some better days.

Well I'd rather be drinkin in hell than sober in heaven
Rolling with them snake eyes up instead of seven eleven
Screaming with the losers at the winners
Fighting them saints with the sinners
Well I'd rather be drinkin' in hell than sober in heaven.

Good folks are crying
Good folks are trying
But we just can't ever seem to catch a break
Life just keeps on coming, like a freight train on a run
And there's only so much a working man can take
I'm feeling mean and pissed off
Just worn down to the bone
So my friend pull up a chair because I don't like drinking alone

Yes I'd rather be drinkin in hell than sober in heaven
Rolling with them snake eyes up instead of seven eleven
Screaming with the losers at the winners
Fighting them saints with the sinners
Well I'd rather be drinkin' in hell than sober in heaven.

Drinkin' In Hell

Verse 1:
So many games to play
When we wake up on Christmas Day   
Make a row of angels fly
Take snowflakes from the sky
Let cold air fill our lungs
Like it did when we were young
Oh, to go back in time once more   
That’s all I’m wishing for.

Chorus
My December dream is coming true
Christmas time is better with you
Kiss me gently in the snow
You’ll make my winter heart glow

Verse 2:
We’re getting ready for tonight
You look splendid in candlelight
Who can resist the mistletoe
While Silent Night is on the radio
Stars shining after heavy clouds
Illuminating Santa’s route
The best times are coming once more
That’s all I’m wishing for

Chorus

Bridge
So good to have you home, again

Like last year's When the Sky Darkens, this track was also mixed and mastered by Giuseppe di Gloria. 
Enjoy!

Richard Libeton - Crystal & Silk

You’re a diamond in the mist
Beautiful in the silver shower
Until your silhouette thins
In the early morning hours

My love remains
Beyond the break of day

If time was to reverse
While these moments linger on
Consider this a miracle to happen
Any day now
It's clear like crystal
And soft as silk 

Instrumental

You’re a diamond in the mist
Beautiful in the silver shower
Only love remains
Clear like crystal
And soft as silk

Clear like crystal
And soft as silk
Clear like crystal
And soft as silk

Crystal & Silk

Hey dog it’s time for you to to go out and do your nightly canine business
Cause I’m so tired and I really just want to go to sleep in my bed.
You need to empty out your doggie bladder and intestines
So you don’t leave a surprise on the kitchen floor instead

Poo Poo Pee Pee Poo Poo Pee Poo Poo Pee good dog
Poo Poo Pee Pee Poo Poo Pee Poo Poo Pee good dog

I wish I could train you to use the toilet in the bathroom
It doesn’t seem like that would be so hard
But instead I go outside wearing a rubber glove 
And hold my breath as I clean up your mess in the back yard

I got a doggie bag in my hand and I’m waiting with anticipation.
Cause when you have a dog, that’s your situation

Poo Poo Pee Pee Poo Poo Pee Poo Poo Pee good dog

A dog is like a child that constantly needs your attention
And there are mornings I wake up feeling apprehension
I tread on the kitchen floor carefully because she has a special spot
And  when she feels the urge to do her business that’s where she likes to squat

Poo Poo Pee Pee Poo Poo Pee Poo Poo Pee good dog
Poo Poo Pee Pee Poo Poo Pee Poo Poo Pee good dog

Poo Poo Pee Pee Good Dog

The most celebrated wartime diva from Budapest, Katalin Karády, reflecting on her haunting experiences at the hands of the Gestapo, forty years later, as she adds the finishing touches to a hat for one of her regular clients, Nancy Reagan, in her milliner's salon in Manhattan. Lyrics below:

She works behind the curtain 
In her salon late at night
The milliner to the stars 
Holds the pillbox to the light
She smoothes the chiffon ribbon
Under feathers and the lace
A confection in scarlet 
For the First Lady’s date

It brings to mind one she wore
In a film about doomed love
Made in black and white
But she called for matching gloves
Shown back home again
After thirty years taboo
Her hits on shortwave
It feels sweet but bitter too

Time heals
But the healed heart still hurts
They say time heals
But the healed heart still hurts
  
She yearns to see the Danube
But fears she can’t go back
Her sleep is often broken
By ghosts of men in black
Nearly killed for being human
Her light refused to die
Home is now Manhattan
Her client’s due at nine

Time heals
But the healed heart still hurts
They say time heals
But the healed heart still hurts

Actress by accident
Diva by design
Voice of a dying age
Chanteuse of the lost

They say time heals
But the healed heart still hurts
Time heals
But the healed heart still hurts

First go at making electronic track using Logic Pro.

The recording of the erhu, a traditional Chinese two stringed instrument, was made at Apliu Street market in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong.

Maggie in the Desert (one of my dear "Camping Crones" as in old wise Crones) 
Maggie in the Desert by Laurie Dameron (started writing this on a hike up McClintock/Mesa trail in June 2020 working on it July 2, 2020 


I hike and hear the music of the forrest 

I feel a lovely breeze upon my skin

I come upon a snake and do the 7th 

Another chance a new life to begin


I turn my thoughts to Maggie in the desert

Imagine her so peaceful and serene

If you search you’ll never even find her footprint

Just a trace of her spirit on the breeze 


	Maggie is a nomad - drifting with the wind 

	where the currents flow her - traveling without end 


500 miles she walked the El Camino

Just before the age of 75

Seems like she’ll walk on and on forever 

her spirit for eternity survives 


I dream of playing music round the campfire 

Diane and Kaya all the camping Crones          

Memories that bring me so much pleasure     

Wondrous times retained in my old bones

Maggie in the Desert

I'm a songwriter, singer, guitarist and also play the clarinet. I released my debut album 'Postcard from Budapest' in February 2020. I am engaged in a number of diverse collaborations with other songwriters from around the world. A recent co-write resulted in a Nashville release in January. I have a single, "Elena", coming out on February 24th, inspired by the story of an older woman fleeing war. Writing is well underway for my new album, due out early 2024.
