Follow the flow of the Tees
Meet the folk whose sweat
and tears shaped the land,
brought in the bounty,
shifted the steel to build
Better places.
Follow the flow of the Tees.
Meet the people who fish
in peace. Look for a seal or two.
See them bobbing, watching you
watching them. Observe them catching the
rays of the sun on the sand.
Follow the flow of the Tees
Day dream on the swirls and foam,
a moving picture on top of the murky depths.
Who would care to venture down?
Not me. I enjoy watching the wildlife
busy foraging for food as I pass by,
following the flow of the Tees.

When we get it all wrong
Life just keeps moving along
No time for us to stand strong
We balance it all out like a delicate love song
Carefully sorting out what lies in our path
So we don't get tripped up in the aftermath
Handling this busy life on the fly
Unable to just let all things ride
As hard as we try
Some things we just have to accept
There is no bottom side
So much of life we need not ask ourselves why
To that many of us can testify
It's when we get it right
Like a spotlight magnifies a beam of light
That molds it all into flight
Making us feel like we are winning the fight
Even when we get it wrong
The quicker we are able to just move along
The less likely we are to become headstrong
In a world that can make you feel like you don't belong
Life keeps passing us by
So learn to ride its highs
Don't get hung up on its whoa's
In this world of so many unknowns
Take it all in nice and slow
This makes it possible for us to grow
So your life will continue to flow
Like a moving picture show

Visual impact styles moving picture glimpse,
Invoke brilliance here with ample insight;
Success follows smiles as feeling good streams,
Urge prompts atmosphere to create delight;
Ask to wonder far where wisdom thrills tint,
Live the lovely quest where rhymes fund fond fest;
Indulge fate on par with excellent mint,
Side with wit and jest as laughter works best;
Embrace pure vision to make dream come true.
Decide on sure deed to seed fine sparkle,
Reach with clear action clear focus in you;
Expect wants and needs to forge fond marvels,
Abide faith that states firm purpose and pact,
Meet your certain fate as passion moves fact.

this moving picture
moving moments
monuments like
hearts racing through time
pasted to the next
to each other
to no time to consider
no time to pause
the next

You are full up of moonlight
In all the right places
But now I like it best
When the sun shines on my face
It's not up to me
But when is fate going to intervene?
You spin out behind me
And what I saw I have unseen
Now I can't feel it when
My mobile cellular telephone will buzz
I dread when it's you and when it's not you
It's not like the way that it was
This sense of vague annoyance
Is really starting to get to me
A clue about the new you
Has yet to come
To me it's strange how when you change
All your old familiar friends seem new
It wasn't that you don't like me
Now it's that I don't like you
Now I can't feel you in
My mobile cellular life because
I am in a bow and I am moving
I don't know you like the way that it was
If I could move in slow motion
It would be a moving picture montage
As I pass your lit-up barred-up studio window
Hair wound tight but we feel the barrage
Sometimes I wish that I felt a thing
But you know I'm cold to the touch
Frosted over in terms of you
And what we want to hear so much
Sometimes I wish that I felt a thing
Sometimes I wish that I felt anything
But even now when I sing
It's not the way that it was
