All I’m Saying
All
I’m Saying
Tongue
twisted tumbling like a gymnast on speed
My
sorry soul wounded I feel my heart bleed
I
spend hours in fantasy and you’re the star
To
confess this mess I pick up my guitar
All
I’m saying is I love you
Tell
me is that wrong
All
I’m saying is I love you
And
baby this is your song
You’re
a beauty the rapture of a trillion suns
With manic laughter cackling one of the wild ones
The wild bucking mare that nobody could tame
I
am the grandest fool to play this cruel game
All
I’m saying is I love you
Tell
me is that wrong
All
I’m saying is I love you
And
baby this is your song
Dreams
you’re only a dream that was yesterday
Dreams
you’re only a dream you faded away
I
could never speak what you needed to know
Now
hear this song playing on the radio
I
was high as the sky at the edge of space
I
had memorized the words seasoned with grace
But
I could never say the secret words out loud
Now
I sing them so proud to the screaming crowd
All
I’m saying is I love you
Tell
me is that wrong
All
I’m saying is I love you
And
baby this is your song
If
there was a time machine I could borrow
Would
I use it so I could end this sorrow?
Women
by the score but none ever compare
I
could name your name but I wouldn’t dare
All
I’m saying is I love you
Tell
me is that wrong
All
I’m saying is I love you
And
baby this is your song

Lazy Day Blues (Song #11)
Lazy Day Blues (Song #11)
Took
Ventura Boulevard and headed out east
Picked
up a hippie preaching about peace
She
had some grass to help pass the time
Why
is getting high a capital crime?
I got me them crazy lazy day blues
Sunsetting in many magenta hues
I’m
a songwriter paying my dues
I
got me them crazy lazy day blues
Couldn’t
read the speedometer ran out of gas
Wheels
spinning in desert sand going nowhere fast
In
Arizona we crashed the Hopi dance
We’re
all criminals victims of circumstance
I got me them crazy lazy day blues
Sunsetting in many magenta hues
I’m
a songwriter paying my dues
I
got me them crazy lazy day blues
I
was tutoring math but the children revolted
They
said I needed a bath and I got insulted
I
made a video adding two and two
They
say heaven is high why is that true?
I got me them crazy lazy day blues
Sunsetting in many magenta hues
I’m
a songwriter paying my dues
I
got me them crazy lazy day blues
I would quote Dylan but Guthrie was
much better
Some people like Z but W is a finer
letter
The words and chords melted in
something placid
Uh oh oooh no the grass was laced with
acid
I
was close to understanding the paradox
Of
a million doors with a single lock
I
had no paper so it’s all on memory
If
you don’t have the key you’ll never be free
I got me them crazy lazy day blues
Sunsetting in many magenta hues
I’m
a songwriter paying my dues
I
got me them crazy lazy day blues

China Cat
China Cat (Song #9)
Whiskey
wild women and a sweet sweet song
Chasing
the dragon feeling really strong
Didn’t
think anything could possibly go wrong
Then
in just like sin walked a woman who didn’t belong
She’s
a China Cat hear her purr
She’s
a China Cat yeah that’s real fur
Feel the fire burn then feel some more
She’s a China Cat hear her purr
She
was tall the tallest woman I had ever seen
Sparking
silver and gold with hair ivy green
A
leather jacket with a lion giving a roar
She
was trouble the devil’s double for sure
She’s
a China Cat hear her purr
She’s
a China Cat yeah that’s real fur
Feel the fire burn then feel some more
She’s a China Cat hear her purr
Well
she strutted down the bar catching every eye
In
a silent scream I knew the dream of every guy
We’d
sell our souls and more for just one try
We’d
sell our souls and in the morning not ask why
She’s
a China Cat hear her purr
She’s
a China Cat yeah that’s real fur
Feel the fire burn then feel some more
She’s a China Cat hear her purr
Fantasy
manifesting in perfect perfection
She
was ravishingly beautiful need I mention?
The
lovely lady she walked to where I sat
She
said “Hello baby I’m the one and only China Cat!”
Feeling
beat sweet perfume consumed the room
As
I awaked my body ached with delightful doom
By
my side curled up in a ball she lay asleep
I
knew sure as the sky was blue she’s one to keep
She’s
a China Cat hear her purr
She’s
a China Cat yeah that’s real fur
Feel the fire burn then feel some more
She’s a China Cat hear her purr

Rain
Rain
On the shore of evermore the
armies march to war
A terrible scene that we’ve
seen many times before
For God country and king the
united voices sing
Doom death and destruction
the fruits they bring
May the heavens open let it
rain
Can sinners be forgiven let
it rain
A baptism of fire ample pain
Life mysteries that none can explain
Let it rain let it rain let it rain
A mother’s weeping bitter
tears flowing as a stream
Her son’s a casualty and thus
dies the dream
She clutches a photograph
he’s in his uniform
How many will perish in this
devilish dark storm
May the heavens open let it
rain
Can sinners be forgiven let
it rain
A baptism of fire ample pain
Life mysteries that none can explain
Let it rain let it rain let it rain
Businessmen with greedy minds
clutch coins of gold
Don’t you know that long ago
their souls they sold
Fluent in lies it’s no
surprise the words they tell
They promise heaven on Earth
bringing only hell
May the heavens open let it
rain
Can sinners be forgiven let
it rain
A baptism of fire ample pain
Life mysteries that none can explain
Let it rain let it rain let it rain
And the child is innocent
pure as a dove
And the child is innocent
secure in love
The tender shoot they pollute
with deceit
A wicked world always to
compete
An innocent man there was in
some distant time
Nailed to the cross telling
the truth his only crime
Sacred saints recorded his
words in a holy book
The profits of today say amen
and never look
May the heavens open let it
rain
Can sinners be forgiven let
it rain
A baptism of fire ample pain
Life mysteries that none can
explain
Let it rain let it rain let it rain

Naked Under The Stars
Naked Under The Stars
Blonde
curls sporting cherry twirls
He
said you’re one of the cutest girls
Do
you dance do you romance
If
I asked, would you give me a chance?
Naked
under the stars
Long
before the glory of electric guitars
An
acoustic dream playing the bars
Naked
under the stars
Shy
and slow you hear him mumble
Unsure
he wants to flee he stumbles
The
smile on her face brings him glee
Maybe
she’s the one the one for me
Naked
under the stars
Long
before the glory of electric guitars
An
acoustic dream playing the bars
Naked
under the stars
She
gives a silly sigh creating a lie
The
past is something never to die
He
seems pure but she’s not sure
This
is a place a race she’s run before
Naked
under the stars
Long
before the glory of electric guitars
An
acoustic dream playing the bars
Naked
under the stars
She
was a lady in the House of the Rising Sun
She
was a lady and she sure had her fun
She
was a lady and now she’s on the run
She
was a lady in the House of the Rising Sun
She
knows the moves she knows them well
He
likes her likes her hard she can tell
Dreams
they are precious for the keeping
And
dreams they are only for the sleeping
Naked
under the stars
Long
before the glory of electric guitars
An
acoustic dream playing the bars
Naked
under the stars

Pieces Of Me 2
Pieces
Of Me 2
Hand
in hand on a midnight stroll
You
kissed my lips touched my soul
Under
the witness of infinity
You
whispered softly
Take
these pieces of me
Pieces
of me a ring around the heart
No
beginning no start
Pieces
of me a ring around the heart
Pieces
of me never to depart
I
sailed the seas searching for what?
In
each view never forgot
Even
on the eternal sea
The
wind spoke quietly
Take
these pieces of me
Pieces
of me a ring around the heart
No
beginning no start
Pieces
of me a ring around the heart
Pieces
of me never to depart
Forever
is something that is made
Red
roses grow only to fade
Thorns
remain I pray they depart
Can
we my love make a new start?
Close
enough to be vulnerable
Full
of fear trembling wonderful
Tomorrow
holds only promise
Sorrow
to turn to bliss
Love’s
fetters so shall it be
Take
these pieces of me
Pieces
of me a ring around the heart
No
beginning no start
Pieces
of me a ring around the heart
Pieces of me never to depart
