Oh Henry David
am I a hopeless case?
Pushed by the
passion of possesion in this human race
I plan to
downsize, I'll start today
I'll take all
my stuff and just "Thoreau" it all away
Mended Dreams
So if you've
got some broken dreams
Don't throw
them away
Pick up the
scattered pieces
See how they
fit today
It's
Classic
Einstein would
like our energy
He'd marvel at
our chemistry
I relate to
you and you relate to me
That's the
theory of 'relativity'
Carson
There's a
child who ponders at seventy-nine
The magic of
space, the mystery of time
The joy he
feels when a night is this fine
Dating Myself
Maybe I don't
need them
I can do this
on my own
The goodnight
kiss will be tricky
It'll be weird
talking to myself on the phone
Waltzing
in 3/4 Time
So different
at first
The feel of
all this
So many new
things to learn
Step this way
on the third beat
And don't
watch your feet
Look out
there's one tricky turn
Open Up
Your Heart
She walked in fear
Trying to be
somebody else
Now she has so
much courage
That she chooses
To be herself |
Lullaby to
the City
Like an angry
child you cry out
From neglect
you need
Here's a
lullaby to the city
May you sleep
tonight in peace
For
The Birds
I'm not your
little chickadee
I fly fine on
my own
I built my
next all by myself
And I'll sleep
in it alone
Old Cowboy Boots
And I see you
in my memories
But I feel you
in my dreams
Those boots
made a better
Pair than us
it seems
Northern
City Lights
And I can't
seem to get you off of my mind
I think about
your sweet love all the time
And darlin'
I'd sure come back home to you
If you told me
that you'd want me to
Vivian
I wonder if
she was ever married
I wonder if
she has any kids
She wonders if
folks know
She drinks in
the dark
Running in
the Wild
She used to
walk behind me taking hills in stride
Now I watch
her stumble by my side
While she
dreams I watch as she runs wild
Is she young
and strong and tough - she's running miles
Going places I
can't be
Chasing things
that I can't see |
