I'm MagicWhen just a lad, I thought I was magic,
Doing a trick can sometimes be tragic.
The bird sang the wrong song,
The rabbit was long gone,
When they booed, I got very dramatic.

Gambler's Romance~Down in the "Big Easy" playing cards in a house of chance,
she’ll lay you down a losing hand, with her bluffed romance.
Her cards have many faces, but few can win her hand,
and a hard hand bet can break a heart; you'd better understand...
When you play the cards...

The Memory of You---First KissI can still feel your lips on mine,
your fingers tangled in my hair.
I can still smell your sweet perfume,
a whisper lingering in the air.
As if you're with me every hour,
as if your love will always stay—
as if I’ve known you a thousand years
and fell for you again today.
Won’t you...

So say nothingWhat is This?
nothing can be said
apparently
no time and distance
for figuring This out~
language opts out
without subj and obj~
nothing makes sense
nothing to explain
so say nothing
which is everything~~...

Lost GoodbyesWhen there's no more tomorrows
to become yesterdays
and regrets drip with sorrow
too late to repay,
we will wish for the chances
to say lost goodbyes --
egos that fight
blinded with pride.
But the sunlight that screams
in the skies gone away
casts gold on my memories
and become yesterday.
When I spoke without fear
of what you would say
I...

Siren Song
I thought I heard
an island siren croon
a sophisticated tune
with words in song
about the moon in June
as a big bright
and bold balloon
enchanting music
captured me
shipwrecked
my heart is all at sea
or am I wrong
imagining things
it's only the waves
and the wind that sings

Penny LaineAs he gently pressed his lips against her photograph
His one last hope; to see her once again
A tear ran down his cheek as he spoke her name…
Penny Laine
He sits there with the roof down on his motor car
And cursed the rock on which she tripped and fell
The lifeboats; they had searched the sea in pouring...

Not entirely clay[Verse 1]
No place to go
if the door to your heart is closed,
When your love stays my subject,
even when I doze,
Yet you keep ignoring
the true love I propose.
You're already driving me nuts, everyone knows,
Though many loves abound,
to yours, none comes near close.
[Pre–Chorus]
Day by day, to have your love I pray,
Less...

Morning SongMy heart sings a morning song
I feel its soothing warmth
yellow sunshine drips down the dale
far and beyond
a whiff of enchanting breeze
skipping up and down the hills
whispering priestly prayers
all over the world
like clouds my soul drifts
freely among the towering cliffs
visualizing beauty so pristine
everywhere
nature cradles life with love
embracing each and everyone
singing gloriously to us
the morning song
and then...

Come to the Pub with me
Come with me and have a drink
to my favourite Irish Inn
as winter gales across glens do blow
take life, a bit , more slow
He stood in front of oak wood bar
his drink upon the table
he hadn't traveled very far
by horseback he was able
He was a handsome strong built guy
and the apple in mothers...

A toe tapper
Man did He love God

Mighty David praised and danced before God
And David danced before the Lord
And David danced before the Lord

Antiquity
If we'd lived in olden days
days of yore
the golden days
and I were a troubadour
I'd serenade you with my lute
unless I had a flute to toot
or go more than the extra mile
and sing a song to make you smile
not with the end of a lance
would I beg my lady's favour
but gallantly request a dance
mayhaps a carol...

An Irish Love SongRed flowing hair, she waited long
in her arms, he did belong
why go to fight, she did not know
a bloody battle, the Somme, in flow
she waited long, with babe in arms
in her heart, it tears apart
they were so young and very poor
why war to fight, she wasn't sure.
would he come back, to her devote
so...
