Where Do I Go From Here

Where do I go from here     The money`s gone     So`s the wife     Need a reason to change my life      I walk the streets alone at night     Thinking out loud     What do I do to make it right     Fought the wars a thousand years     Too old too tired to care      Impossible now to believe in prayer     From one corner to the next     Like straying sheep I am led       Looking for a home     A place to lie my head     Can`t sing for money     Don`t know the beat     Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall       I live on the street      They pass me by     Never stopping to speak     Just stare and point       I am a sideshow freak     Don`t know the day     No watch to tell the time     Very few words do I say     Why am I here      What was my crime       Where`s the man in charge     Who do I see       I`ll fill out the form     That sets me free      No ticket for the bus     The train ran off the track   Click my heels 3 times     Show me the way back     I`m not alone     Thousands of others like me      The homeless armies     Not invisible     Open your eyes and see     Are you my savior     Any miracles left for me     Does God exist    If so      Show me for all to see Too cold here to be hell     No angels to open the gate     Walking the streets     Appears to be my fate     For most of my life     Full speed ahead     Nothing to fear    Could do no wrong    I saw the future all too clear    Only a fool knows all     A wise man opens his eyes to see     When the train stops     Where will he be    Never made plans for the future    Thought my world was in place    Saw the end of the rainbow    As plain as the nose on my face   A thousand times a day    I ask myself the question why    What sin did I commit   Who did I make cry    No answers to my pleas    Silent voices ringing in my ears   No relief for the weary   Been walking these streets for years   My angel of mercy   The cop on the beat   Closes his eyes   Allows me to sleep on the street   Darkness is my enemy   When I close my eyes to sleep Never know what the day will bring   Will I awaken from the deep   Nobody to share my covers   Alone too long to know   Afraid to ask the question   Are you friend or are you foe   Despair and lonliness   My two best friends   Breaks your heart And captures your soul   These two powerful emotions   Take their toll   Where do I go from here   I see the future all too clear Walking the streets alone at night   Obvious to me I`ve lost the fight

Only You

Before the world began    Before the apple fell from the tree     It was always 
you with me   A million years before man walked the earth     Before I could 
see     It was always you with me     When I close my eyes      Only you do I 
see     The truth never lies     It was always you with 
me

Home

Tin roofs with no paint      Windows covered with bars      Faces in the 
doorway     Lined and covered with scars      No children laughing and playing 
here      Hiding beneath the swing      Not knowing      What their future will 
bring      No books to take to school      No teachers to teach the golden rule      
Always hungry      Morning, Noon, and Night       Where`s the man of the 
house      That makes everything allright     Vanished one night      Without a 
word      Dogs barking wildly      Was all that could be heard      Her young ones 
now fast asleep       Time for her to hit the street       Asking for money      From 
everyone she will meet       No longer does she care       How many men enter 
her at night      She is now the man of the house      Needs to make 
everything        Be all right                            RICHARD FERRY

Blanket of security       Soiled by man       Muddied footprints

Favorite Actor

Tough to say       But I think the Duke      His years in the spotlight      Were definitely no fluke       He fought the wars      Won the west     This giant was always       At his best      At the very end       The Shootist      And     True Grit       Will forever stand the test       Happy trails       John Wayne       You were       Without a doubt      Heads above the rest

I Live On Love

My pockets are empty    The cupboards are bare    No problem for me    Never give it a care    No need for food    No use for money    No dark clouds    For me always sunny    Our first moment    Was a sudden glance    From across the room    I asked you to dance    We danced on and on    All through the night    In my arms    Till the morning light    Been dreaming of you    All my life    MY destiny, My fate, My love    Will you be my wife    Sorry  I have a man    Waiting for me    You and I    Were not meant to be    For the last ten years Of my life    Can`t change the fact    I`m his wife    Her eyes said yes    A voice said no    It`s getting late    I have to go    Been waiting for her    A thousand years     Left my arms Covered with tears    Our night together     Changed my life    No other woman    Will ever be my wife    I look for you    Wherever I go    The woman I love    That told me no    I`m a fool in love    A victim of fate    Our dance together    Ten years too late    All the lonely hearts    Cry out to me    Never love a woman    That was not meant to be    Have not danced    Since that night    Only with you    Does everything feel right    I`ve prayed to God    A voice on deaf ears    No answer to my pleas    Been waiting for years    Alone for a lifetime    My choice to be    Hoping one day    It would be you with me    The world has passed me bye    I`m at the end of my life    Never will I be able to say    Thank you for being my wife     I`m a fool in love    A victim of fate    Our dance together     A lifetime too late       12/29/2012

Is It a Dream

A dream is never just a dream        Fractured lies and untold truths         Fear of 
the unknown        Infantile thoughts         Progressing through hostile 
youths        A clouded vision of many       Every night to be seen       This 
nightmare that we all call a dream       Before we know it        In the blink of an 
eye         Father time is upon us       Hearing our pleas of one more        One 
more        Before we ..............
