They called him MURPHY BLEEDING GUMS
he HAD FORGOTTEN THE SUN, 
the loving TASTE OF HIS MOTHER'S sauce
AND HIS FATHER'S ADVICE.
FOR 30 YEARS he'd NOT WATCHED THE NEWS
appetite for NOODLES AND the STREET FOOD
BETWEEN the FAT AND NOTES he devoured
he found himself alone
and blowing the blues
he wears those DARK shades AT NIGHT 
to hold the loneliness inside
as he plays in the club underneath the Detroit Moon
ahhh here comes RACHEL 
HAIR AS RED AS THE ORANGES OF SICILY, 
her EYES AS BLUE AS the sea
ohh the beautiful sea!
SKIN AS WHITE AS THE SNOW ON THE ROOFTOPS
in the Detroit city
BEHIND the BAR SHE MOVED LIKE A CAT, 
KEPT TIME BY DRUMMING WITH HER LONG RED FINGERNAILS, 
AND OH WHEN SHE SANG SHE SOUNDED LIKE A MADONNA 
TO THOSE POOR DEVILS IN THAT dimly lit CLUB IN DETROIT
(she's so beautiful) 
AND WHEN MURPHY PLAYED he DID IT FOR HER 
( play for me murphy)
and WHEN MURPHY PLAYED BETWEEN LAUGHING AND CRYING
(oh murphy baby)
ohhh THEY WOULD STARE AT EACH OTHER UNDER THE NEON LIGHT
never say a word, in that danky SMOKY PARADISE
( shhhhhh , shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
OF DETROIT
A STEP BEFORE DAWN and PEOPLE WERE LEAVING
RACHEL WITH REDDENED EYES SET UP at THE COUNTER
and MURPHY SAT AT A TABLE DRINKING A WHISKEY 
AS HE WATCHED HER WRITE POEMS he knew SHE would tear up
( tear up - oooh ) 
AND SHE SMOKED WITH HER EYES CLOSED WAITING FOR THE BUS 
AND FOR YEARS NEVER asked her, 
or FOUND THE COURAGE TO OFFER if she needed a RIDE
UNTIL that SNOWY NIGHT 
she was SHIVERING and needed a ride
murphy DROVE so SLOWLY AS IF HE NEVER WANTED TO ARRIVE
THE RADIO PLAYED CROAKING JAZZ TUNE
and SHE SAID "hey MURPHY HONEY YOU'RE much BETTER than this"
SHE LAID HER HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER AND FELL ASLEEP
(go to sleep baby)
AND AFTER A LONG TIME 
MURPHY SAW THE SUN AGAIN, 
A CHEMICAL SUNRISE UP IN THE SKY OF DETROIT
THEY ARRIVED HOME SHE MADE him BREAKFAST 
and ON HER PANCAKES SHE MADE A HEART, 
and BY AND BY 
THEY LEFT DETROIT

Written @ 19 years… I’m now 53.., still seems relevant!Hope you enjoy!! If you “ know”… you will know the lyrics I lifted from various places!!😎

Long ago, it was long ago
I promised you in a letter
I would always be your comforter and friend 
Now the times they’re changing 
And it’s time that I made a change 
Cause you know that the end it’s coming soon 

Chorus 
￼ If it wasn’t so I would’ve told you
Things will happen. All just the way they’re planned. 
If you yourself, find yourself
Found that you’ve hit the bottom 
There’s always more room at the top 

Before the Son has risen 
When the sky burns a fiery red
You’ll see, many will see,see and fear

I had a conversation 
And it was all accounted for 
All of this, this will pass away 
And what’s more?
What’s knocking at your door? 

Such a common sight to see
What we’ve all been waiting for
Another rhyme without a reason
Another scheme…￼
But don’t let this elude you 
Don’t ever let it slip away 
I promise you I am coming back again 

Long ago, it was long ago in a room at the top 

Take this message to my love 
My love, love of my life 
All I have it’s all I have and it’s yours for free

Room At The Top

Yet another instrumental inspired by a road trip. 
Can I fit another road trip in before the summer is gone?

All the guitar parts were played on my American Telecaster with Texas pickups... I aways seem to reach for this guitar when road trips are on my mind.

Open Road

Instrumental lullaby. Music and performance - LeoMReznik. ( And again, my favorite open guitar tuning. This is a short lullaby that is part of an earlier " Open string's lullaby" that was not included in it.)

Rainy Window Lullaby

LYRICS:
In the beginning, you were just friends
You gave it a go, both fucked it up, made your amends
Then he met me, and he fell in love
He took his chances, asked me to be his, forever enough
 
But all it took was one kiss, just one simple fucking kiss
And suddenly he’s chasing dreams and pushing me away
He promised me forever, that we’d always be like this
But suddenly there’s you, and what was black is now in grey
 
I've never felt so incredibly sick
Back to the wall, foetal position, cut to the quick
Such a betrayal, cutting as ice
All I can see is that image of him gazing into your eyes
 
So all it took was one kiss, to make this train jump the track
Inexplicably those buried feelings flooded back
He promised me forever, told me that he’d always stay
But suddenly there’s you and what was black is now in grey
 
The nightmare keeps unfolding and I know my hands are tied
There’s nothing I can change, and there is nothing I can fight
This can’t be happening, let me out please wake me up
 
Cos all it took was one kiss, to bring back the love you missed
And suddenly he’s wanting you and pushing me away
He promised me forever, that we’d always be like this
But suddenly there’s you, and what was black is now in grey
 
Yeah all it took was one kiss, to bring back the love you missed
Sabotaging everything I thought was there to stay
He promised me forever, that we’d always be like this
But suddenly there’s you, and what was black is now...
