you probably don't deserve the love I've got, and I don't deserve to be sitting here ...I don't deserve to be sitting here on a Friday night all alone.
you didn't exactly promise, I'm just hoping here by the phone...don't you know who's waiting for and wanting you. 
for a good time call...
you sure seem happy to see me . . . and I'm always willing to fall
you're not the kind of guy who needs to take a girl to bed
last time we only made it to the hall
oh, but when you're done with me, I'm left here staring at the wall
you know my number, plus it's in the book, so how come you don't call?
you know my number when you want ... ...
you know my number come on, ring me off the hook
come get a mouthful of what I can cook - I just sittin' waitin' in my breakfast nook
it's a lonely morning come and take a look
but baby, I don't hear a word at all
I don't deserve to be sitting here on a Saturday morning all alone
you didn't really make a promise - I'm just hoping here by the phone
don't you know who's waiting for and wanting you?
for a good time ... call.

For A Good Time {:::lyrics:::}

River flows, goes down, he don't think of returning.
Birds fly high for the never ending sky.
Restless Wind you run and blow ever so free,
Never know the fear of tight and strangling chains
...
Could it be that to these things, we are all strangers?
And when life will end, we'll all be looking to die?

Restless Wind - written by Melanie Safka {::::lyrics::::}

God gave me the morning. Yes, he wrapped it up for me.
Just to see what I would be - if the sun came out on me.
And the morning looks like you.
I wouldn't lie you see, if it's coming out of me, you know it must be true.
God gave me a rainbow. Till the very day I die there'll be a rainbow in my eye.
Since you called my name I'll never be the same.

The Morning written by Melanie Safka {:::lyrics:::}

As I Went Walking written by Melanie

Moonbeam was written by a very young Melanie, but sadly never recorded. It was published in 1973 in a rare songbook "Another Side Of Melanie" - this is my version based on that transcript.

Shamed

Ashamed to be an American

I walk the earth my darling and all around behold the works
From God's Grande Lounge to Man's delicate web cast across the ground and into the heavens
And as I look upon the machinery of civilization's grace sentinel upon God's face
I fail to believe it is the evil in men's hearts that built all this from simple starts
But the glory of hope and dream cooperation and courage intent on realization
 joined by sweat of brow and backs and hands have set these miracles before us

As the sun rises ever further across the landscape of consciousness
In the shortening shadows ever hide . . .

In the shortening shadows ever hide
 - the mistakes not yet made - understanding not yet stood
 - the subtle damages where malice has worn and frayed the fabric in its persistent tiny bites
 yet to be discovered and repaired
 - the limits not yet tested

No, I fail to believe that it is the evil in men's hearts that built all this 
And if mistakes were made it was the ignorance in men's minds
 and forgive them as they are endeavoring to 
 - sweep away the shadows
 - shine ever brighter
 - to sweep the shadows away

TIME is on my soul (7:22)

There are several unreleased Melanie songs in the 1972 songbook ANOTHER SIDE OF MELANIE. Thought I would try a few. Hope you find this one interesting. 1:28 length.

Love, a curse or a joy, I can't make up my mind, it's music in the day but lonely in the night
I walked out to the sea with all it's tempting foam. I drowned when the waves came in, but I never drowned again.
I can't make up my mind. I can't make up my mind. Love, a curse of a joy? I can't make up my mind.

Curse Or A Joy - written by Melanie Safka {::::lyrics::::}

WHO TOLD YOU
Who told you you could runaway when times got tough and the world turned away?
I was waiting for a new dawn's day, I was waiting but you couldn't stay. I was waiting in the rain.
Who told you you could run away when the sky got dark 'cause the clouds rolled astray.
Mary waited and the stone rolled away.
You can run away from earthquakes. You can run away from lightning.
You can run away from lions. You can run away from fighting.
You can save yourself by running. But if they catch you - then you're gone.
Better say your prayers then, quick. 'Cause you won't be here for long.
Love is only fatal when the one you love has run,
 then something's left unfinished that only just begun.
Life goes by so quick that a fear of death's just vain.
It comes and then it's gone, just like the passion of the rain.


Who Told You

Robb Nesbitt lived an honest and unassuming life, trying marriage and attempting to raise two daughters, paying too many bills and busting his body on corporate industry. Then he retired.
Remaining humble, he read his poetry out and got published dozens of times and places, even editing a collection of Peace poems "Waging Words For Peace" with Chuck Culhane (a buddy of Pete Seeger), then without ever auditioning, his performance style (as evidenced in the 'Ice9' troop) won him roles in four plays - his lead character in Sweet Street (nominated for best ensemble cast - 2010 Artie Awards) was noted as the high point of the play by Buffalo News when he performed Leonard Cohen's 'Bird On The Wire' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5z2VFNO7Tg 
Simultaneous, were appearances in four local films: he provided the original song 'Roll,Lord' to Sweet Jesus, and performed in 'The Big Mess', 'Fake Job' and 'Beyond The Mainstream' for which he composed and played the music for its theme song 'Welcome To My World' which is found here on Soundcloud.com/slowheart-1/welcome-to-my-world-short
Robb Nesbitt's contributions to art also include photography and a few videos, such as his 1989 masterpiece 'Don't Believe' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdJIBKN-o80
Robb Nesbitt is a realist and knows the internet allows everyone to take what he has done for free. He makes a funny face about that, but is not bitter.
New eminent and imminent 2cd song cycle should appear relatively soon (provided he is not assassinated by anyone - or by himself for promotional purposes) will be called 'DREAMS UP THERE' and 'GRAVITY B-LO'. 
B-lo stands for Buffalo NY a cool, inexpensive place to live and own a home
 - everyone left, so there's not much traffic jam or elbow bashing sidewalk hustle. 
C'mon down. C'mon up. C'mon over. Fill yer cup !!!
