Strings

Musical renditions The voice in unison, together we chante Strings play their story In harmony fate sings along The winds blow in from the sea The sun runs away We are the band of the night With whiskey we sing and play We are young and we are old The night breeze carries the tunes I may be fao, and I may be inebriated Harps and chords, strings to be strummed I see you stare, would you like a Rum? You know what you want So close your eyes The kiss will be sweet Tomorrow you may fly away Tonight the strings they are all in play String me along Not for long All strings fall Naked is your deception The strings are all gone Notes "chante" pronouncec shante, = sing in french Fao = ugly in Spanish

Arthur, what would you like to know about my friend Tatoo, he was a good man, a fellow whom lived two doors down from me. He was 57 years old an engineer, but he loved a women who was hooked on drugs, he got caught up in her mischief, and died of a massive heart attack. But they was more within this man's heart that he never spoke about a sensivity, a gentleness of the human spirit. He love to be free on his motor cycle, and the open road mentality, and he touched all of us here with this
