It’s late at night by candlelight while I’m sitting here at home
picking on this old guitar without you in my arms.
The lightning flashed and something crashed and
all the lights went dim – ain’t it funny how
the storm outside is how I feel within.
I don’t know how it happened that you
up and went away and don’t know how
the weather works on any given day.
Refrain:
And all I know is the wind still blows no matter what I do
even when I’m picking on these six strings without you.
As my life goes on from song to song
while you’re out running free.
I’d burn every candle I could find
if it would bring you back to me.
Every time the light goes out something
changes in my mind; the love we had not long ago
is drifting down the line. Like a rolling train
in a tunnel made inside a mountain high;
I feel so lost without you now it feels like I could die.
Right here in my sadness and these low down hurting ways;
this candle fire lifts me up higher than all these rainy days.
Refrain:
And all I know is the wind still blows no matter what I do
even when I’m picking on these six strings without you.
As my life goes on from song to song
while you’re out running free.
I’d burn every candle I could find
if it would bring you back to me.
I sure hope that the light returns
in my house and in my soul; it’s hard to see
right front of me ever since you hit the road.
It seems all I have are these memories and melodies
and dreams; and every night the lights go out
you’re all that I can see. I’m like a blind man
in the darkness all my colors turned to gray
so I’ll keep this candle burning
hoping you’ll come back some day.
Refrain:
And all I know is the wind still blows no matter what I do
even when I’m picking on these six strings without you.
As my life goes on from song to song
while you’re out running free.
I’d burn every candle I could find
if it would bring you back to me.
As my life goes on from song to song
while you’re out running free.
I’d burn every candle I could find
from now until the end of time
if it would bring you back to me.
In a room stark & white
A nightmare he will ride tonight
Twisted sheets in a rider's grip
as he settles in for that fateful trip
silently he screams & shouts
This time there'll be no turn out
The final clash of beast & man
In the mind's arena plays out again
Once was a time he was among the best
Until that Brahma stepped on his chest
Now he's locked in a ride he can't quit
as his wife & his family at his bedside sit
How he longs to be up & out of this bed
Away from the demons in his head
But you can't drown a nightmare in morphine
And every night he rigs up again
In a room stark & white
She'll replay the ride tonight
"Just one more ride & I'm done
I've got to help raise our son"
He'd said as he climbed in the chute
and straddled that Brahma brute
With a nod & a prayer, he marked out
His last would be his best, no doubt
Then, with a sudden twist & a flash of horn
The cowboy from his seat was torn
She watched him fall & struggle to rise
Numb to the crowd's horrified cries
Now she sits here each night without rest
Cradling their baby boy close to her chest
How she longs to have him hold her near
Later, she reaches for the bottle to chase the fear
But you can't drown a nightmare in whiskey
And every night she rigs up again
Under the arena's bright lights
He'll dance with a nightmare tonight
Wearing a greasepaint smile to hide the pain
He plays out that fateful ride again
One step out of rhythm & rhyme
He'd lost the race against Brahma & time
Word's haunt him still of a Cowboy's last request
After that Brahma had stomped on his chest "Tell Katie I love her & I'm sorry for this"
"If I'd listened to her, I'd not be in this mess"
"You & the boys take care of her & my son"
"I hear the chopper landing, guess this ride is done"
How he wishes he could run that race once more
The memory pushes him hard, it won't be ignored
But you can't mask a nightmare with greasepaint
And every night he rigs up again
A wild Bullrider, loved one or clown
no matter the poison the memory won't drown
Nightmares, whiskey, greasepaint or morphine
Can't kill the demons that ride through your dreams
It was a still October night when I was cold and all alone
as through the forest of my mind in thought I wandered on my own
The moon lay hidden by the clouds that rested heavy on my eyes
and as I stumbled through the dark I felt the wind begin to rise
I heard my name upon the wind as he was flying through the night
he called to me to come to him so he could take me on his flight
In soothing tones he spoke to me, his voice sang gentle through my mind
and in a flowing melody he spoke of wonders I would find
The wind sang out to me that night and with his song I was entranced
and it was windward my thoughts turned as in my heart his tempest danced
But still my feet stayed on the ground for I was too afraid to fly
and as the wind washed over me in mournful howls I heard him cry
As indecision split my mind my eyes were stinging with my tears
and tenderly with his caress he tried to ease me from my fears
Across my face his gentle breath had blown the clouds out of my eyes
and then he summoned to the moon who came to light my darkened skies
And when the moon had risen high his servants came into my sight
these waiting visions that I saw were whispers in the silver light
They came to carry me to him who now is waiting there for me
they said they'd help me find my way into his arms where I'd fly free
They said they wouldn't let me fall, they told me that they understand
and so I let them lead the way as I had given them my hand
Then I was lifted off the ground and we were soaring through the sky
and as I came into his arms he took away my fear to fly
Above the earth he carried me and as I watched it spin around
from in the heavens I could see all of the wonders to be found
I'll fly forever in his arms, among the stars where I will play
across the never ending sky, the spinning world so far away
Upon the wind you'll hear my song as we are sailing through the sky
and joyous is the song I sing as we are scaling ever high
I am alive upon the wind, I'm flying in his arms tonight
and like an echo I will fade as we are blowing out of sight......

Sitting here in the dark thinking
Thinking,
Listening to Johnnie Taylor
Taking me back down that old
Memory lane..
Singing “I believe in you”
While the rain beats against my
Window pane..
All the fun memories of my
School days ring out loud &
Clear..
While skating to Disco Lady
Eating cotton candy and never
Gain a pound..
Dancing close holding hands
Moving across the floor..
Shake oh shake, shake all a
Round..
Now here comes soul heaven
He was having such a good
Time..
Seeing all his buddies in this
One night only shindig..
Line up to play their songs
Johnnie Taylor said we need to
Buy our tickets..
The tickets are running out mighty
Fast...
Hey, I love all those guys whom
To many to call their names
But, I'm not ready to buy that
Ticket just yet!
I know this concert will be jumping
Standing around with Sam Cooke
Singing "A Change Gonna Come"
Even Marvin Gaye singing "Let's
Get It On"
So many I can’t mention..
Just think about "Lonely Teardops"
Jackie Wilson dance to his own beat..
Johnnie say it raining,
But everybody just stood there..
While King Curtis Blue "Played His
Soul Serenade"
Elvis Presley
Singing "His Blue Suede Shoes"
The Mighty Temptations singing
"Ain't To Proud To Beg"
He said the Bar-kays tuning their guitars
While Z.Z Hill Singing "Down Home
Blues"
Oh so many I cannot mention..
Johnnie didn’t want to wake up
Cause he was having such a good
Time..
Amidst all those great super stars..
Oh, yes he was having such a good
Time...
Singing "Soul Heaven"
He buy his ticket to this big one
Night Show..
So he said he was having such a
Good time..
With all his super star buddies "Singing
In soul Heaven"
I know that concert was jumping with
With all those super stars singing
In that one night only concert in soul
Heaven....
You see Johnnie Taylor said he was havin
Such a good time...
And he decided to join his friends in the land
They call soul Heaven..
For this one night big show...
I was heading to the bunkhouse, after a wild night on the town
dancing & romancing & one too many round
Back in my wild & woolly days, one more rowdy Saturday night
full of cheap beer & whiskey & the necessary fight
I set Ol' Gus on auto pilot, he knew the way back to the spread
And I set to fighting with those rotgut demons dancing in my head
We were getting pretty close to home, so I eased up on the bit
when all of a sudden that dang horse he up & quit
His ears were all pricked forward, listening quite intense
I caught a drift of what might pass for music, somewhere beyond the fence
It took a lot of persuading, cussing & cajoling
but I got ol' Gus headed for all the caterwauling
the sound got more peculiar as we crested the hill
the memory of what I saw that moonlit night stays with me still
for I had stumbled on a peculiar party, hosted by a peg leg dog
and there was a one eyed pole cat doing comedic monologue
A Blueberry Roan soon took the stage, singing Motley Crue
I swear I saw a big ol' ornery hog with a "born to squeal" tattoo
There were bulls & Heifers dancing, I couldn't believe my eyes
why those bovine wore spikes and body piercings, in places utterly unwise
There where horses with mohawk hairdos head banging to the song
I swear to you, Ol' Gus, he began to sway & sing along
Now I know what you're thinking & I most heartily agree
it was the moon & wind playing tricks, along with rotgut whiskey
You city folks can keep your pink elephants parading in tutus
for this cowboy was shown the light by a Roan in blue suede shoes
I gave up hell raising & carousing, said so long to the honky-tonk life
Happy now to stick to ranching & dancing under the moon with my wife
But every now & again, when the wind blows & the moon is shining bright
I swear I can hear the livestock laughing & head banging through the night
As love flew away at the breaking of dayAs love flew away at the breaking of dayThe night shed its tears on the groundThe night shed its tears on the groundThe day flew as the night ground shed its loveon the tears at the breaking away Dawn and twilight so little time to meetDawn and twilight so little time to meetThe shadows with the light play hide and seekThe shadows with the light play hide and seekSo little shadows seek and meet the dawnPlay time with twilight and to hide the light Dancing in the air the midnight sun returnsDancing in the air the midnight sun returnsMending the broken wings of the night songMending the broken wings of the night song Wings of the midnight air mending returnsThe sun song night dancing in the broken air The broken shadows flew in the midnight twilight,at the dawn, the dancing night wings mendingtears with time. The returns of the love song.The breaking meet as on the play groundThe air, as the day shed of its sun andso little, hide away and seek to the light
Tonight I plan to go out and enjoy my time
With some folks of mine that love red wine
There is no reason to say where we go
It could be a bar, or maybe my own home.
I just want to steal away somewhere no one cares
And enjoy a glass of wine that all wish to share
I need a small vacation that lets me relax my mind
Just being alone doesn’t let me unwind.
I beg all of you to come and convey this with me
Hello my associates, why are you strangers to be
Come over there is so much to pass around
I want to take your time that was not found.
Maybe a Merlot, a Cabernet, or Burgundy for you
You see I have them all, and they are all very true.
If my home is not good enough, we could go to the bar,
And order a beer or a glass of Champaign which lasts far.
Anyway the night is young and my pallet is still dry
I would walk far to have a group of my kin nearby
No, loneliness is not good enough, today and evermore
My wine awaits me this moment more and more.
At last I heard a drum beating far away
A beautiful melody played a song this way
My friends heard my cry and were marching forth
How I smiled with joy and sang along of course.
The song continued to chant well into the night
With many toasts of happiness crossing the sight
My kin called me a lover of red wine filled with desire
It was a heavenly group that I shared with and admired.
When the moment came to an end
We parted giggling loudly around the bend
My wishes of a night with red wine came true
And all who came and left were not just a few.
Good night I will remember my companions well
You gave me a holiday that I can awake and retell
Farewell and goodbye until we toast another time
My lips are wet now and experienced great wine.
In the corner of the sky, the sunset weaves its fiery mantle,
Write, poet, write, traveler among the waves of time,
Stars extinguish and are reborn in the eternal dance of the universe,
Write as if you were a prisoner of fate, with a heart between the bars of longing.
The governor of destiny is gone, pardon is a shattered dream,
Write as if you were on the edge of a cliff, above the abyss of oblivion,
White fingers from effort, breathing heavily, with your soul on its knees,
You have one last word to say, one last cry for liberation.
Like a bird in flight, hovering above the world, seeing everything,
Eyes open to infinity, tell us something to save us,
To take us out of the labyrinth of our own shadow,
Scribe of falling stars, let the ink flow.
The river of eternity's tears, night unfolds its silk mantle,
The sleeping city, each word a leaf carried by the wind,
The moon reflects in the silent lake of memories,
Each verse a bridge to the heart of a fallen angel.
Write, poet, write, in each letter a spark of magic,
The whisper of eternity, maybe in your words we find the answer,
The light that guides us through the darkness,
Time flows like sand in the hourglass of our unfulfilled dreams.
In each line, the pulse of life, an echo of the universe's heart,
We lose and find ourselves in the infinite dance of the cosmos,
Write, poet, write, let us lose ourselves in the melancholic magic,
Your metaphors, an enchanted mirror, envelop us in mystery.
Perhaps we will learn to save ourselves,
Embrace the shadows, dance under the pale light of the moon,
The stars sing their eternal song, night unfolds its wings,
Angel of melancholy, carrying us to the realms of endless dreams.

MUSICK NONnude Review
CHarlaxFabels
Grand Funk Railroad was a fave group of mine the best time eye ever had was in
a house on a rug listening to this song of hard rock and rhinocerous thumps.
Wait. FOGHAT was the best for sex but lucky mee was never a Catholic. The
Horns blew for Chicago and there was lots of other groups to make this fable
bleed there was the Creedence Clearwater Revival so cool so wonderful a thing.
John Fogarty sure must have been a saint. Eye wish he had not got so mad and
left the other members of his group. But Creedence Song became a new fave
thing.
Daddy had a band
Played him a little guitar
Traveled in a van
Livin' that rock and roll
Night after night
People comin' up to the bandstand
Say you can't go wrong
If you play a little bit of that
Creedence song
It was late one night
Cruisin' on down the interstate
Stopped into a diner
To get him some chili and fries
Heard the waitress tell a guy
Standin' over by the jukebox
Hey you can't go wrong
If you play a little bit of that
Creedence song
Well daddy took a shine
To the lil' girl behind the counter
She movin' her hips to the swamp beat
Right on time
Said could he play her somethin'
Over there on the jukebox
She said you can't wrong
If you play a little bit of that
Creedence song
Daddy had a plan
He asked that girl to marry
With a brand new wife
They're livin' on rock and roll
Night after night
She whispers oh so sweetly
Hey you can't go wrong
If you play a little bit of that
Creedence song
Woke up this morning, in my home all alone
Set up your picture, in the hall by the phone
I glanced at the kids faces, hanging there on the wall
Dropped to my knees and prayed, there in the hall
I looked out in the yard, through the kitchen window
Saw white and yellow tulips, blooming beside our broken home
And there on the table, set the empty Easter baskets
Oh! Now my heart is filled, with all of my regrets
Today the sun is shining down, on the yard so bright
The grass is all new, looking so fresh and green
Oh! darling It's Easter, It's Easter
Last night you packed and left, after our terrible fight
Oh! but darling, you have to know
That those words, I didn't mean
Darling It's Easter, It's Easter
Now I'm standing here knee deep, in this bed of flowers
As my eyes start to drop tears, down like April showers
Oh! darling I can't bare, being alone on this Easter day
My God please open your eyes, and turn around today
I know now, that I've been taking you for granted
But if you come back, I promise I'll be the man you wanted
For this is to be, one of the happiest days of the year
But darling you left because of me, and now I shed these tears
Today the sun is shinig down, on the yard so bright
The grass is all new, looking so fresh and green
Oh! darling It's Easter, It's Easter
Last night you packed and left, after our terrible fight
Oh! But darling, you have to know
That those words, I didn't mean
Darling It's Easter, It's Easter
