Eternal friend...

Viagem Para Lugar Nenhum

I showed the world just who I was
The world replied with a shirk and a shrug
And a laughing refrain and a 'what was your name again'
Please oh, please, consider these burnt offerings

I worked the stages all up down the coastline
Been loved, been murdered, been lauded and still I
Search for the part that forever defines me
Please oh please, consider these burnt offerings

Oh my vanities
These songs I sing

I did not look to no one 
I did not study art
I did not look to books
I'm illiterate
The story I told is my story alone
Please oh please, consider these burnt offerings

Oh, my vanities
These songs I sing

In workshops and gardens, I tarried and toiled
My masterpiece there in sweat, grease and oils
And it's there for the ages in granite, on pages
Please of please consider these burnt offerings

I showed the world just who I was
The world replied with a shirk and a shrug
And a laughing refrain and a 'what was your name again'

Burnt Offerings

Traditional Welsh folk song ("Llwyn Onn") 
English lyrics by Thomas Oliphant (19th century)
Vocals and Instrumentals by Layna Claunch

The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking
The harp through it playing has language for me
When over its branches the sunlight is breaking
A host of kind faces is gazing on me
The friends of my childhood again are before me
Each step wakes a memory as freely I roam
With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle o'er me
The ash grove, the ash grove again is my home
 
Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander
When twilight is fading I pensively rove
Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander
Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove
'Twas there while the blackbird was cheerfully singing
I first met that dear one, the joy of my heart
Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing
But then little thought I how soon we should part
          
My lips smile no more, my heart loses its lightness   
No dream of the future my spirit can cheer
I only can brood on the past and its brightness
The dear ones I long for again gather here
From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me
I lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome
And others are there, looking downward to greet me
The ash grove, the ash grove again is my home

Ash Grove

Change is Coming

Back in time
150 
million years ago
Archaeopteryx
 is up to tricks
In the canopy 
His wings he flicks
Y’know 
Y’know 
Looking for a juicy bug
Stegosaurus wonder past
Mammals dug a den
Hearts are beating fast
But will they last?

Only halfway through the dinosaurs long day
Is there really that much I can find to say?

Feathers on the wings
These are newly flying things
Though the birds will really take flight
Easy to miss 
Is Allosaurus Fragilis 
Hiding in the tree line out of sight 
Hold on tight 

Ceratosaurus is the dinosaur we want to see
A nose crest has to be the best, can we agree?

Archaeopteryx 
Has had his big bug nicked
He may be a dinosaur
But that don’t stop a lizards jaw
Tasting victory 
Catastrophe 
Stegosaurus takes a dump
And I won’t do a joke about his rump
Even though I could rhyme arse
Well, shit  - that came to pass

Another day in prehistory
Bring a book and why not stay for tea?

Back In Time

Smile (Charlie Chaplin Cover)

This is Charnia.
Charnia is the oldest extinct  organism known to man.
We still dont know if it was a plant or animal.
What we do know is that it lived alone in the bottom of the ocean in freezing temperatures and total darkness.
Charnia died .... without ever feeling the warmth of the sun.
Art work idea by me,done by SamBuddz.
