    Touch Of Grey / Lyrics By: Robert Hunter
    Touch Of Grey Lyrics By: Robert Hunter It must be getting early Clocks are running late Paint by numbers morning sky Looks so phony Dawn is breaking everywhere Light a candle, curse the glare Draw the curtains, I don't care 'Cause it's alright I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive I see you got your list out Say your piece and get out Yes I got the gist of it But it's alright Sorry that you feel that way The only thing there is to say Every silver lining's got a Touch of grey It's a lesson to me The Ables and the Bakers and the C's The A B C's We all must face And try to keep a little grace I know the rent is in arrears The dog has not been fed in years It's even worse than it appears But it's alright Cows are giving kerosene The kid can't read at seventeen The words he knows are all obscene But it's alright I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive It's a lesson to me The Deltas and the East and the Freeze The A B C's We all think of And try to keep a little love The shoe is on the hand it fits There's really nothing much to it Whistle through your teeth and split 'Cause it's alright Oh well a touch of grey Kind of suits you anyway That was all I had to say And it's alright I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive We will get by We will get by We will get by We will survive

    note to self
    Loving under all conditionsIs enlightenment, happiness, and health. Loving only under some conditions Is self-limited suffering, from false belief. If we find ourselves dreaming It is only to give ourselves Permission to love only Under some conditions. To wake up, Love under all conditions. Giving ourselves permission To love only under some conditions Ensures suffering until we Return to loving under all conditions. Loving under all conditions Is enlightenment, happiness,and health.

    Silence in the city
    Silence in the cityMeans buzzing in my ears Not like the warm Blanket of unbroken silence Out on the foggy mountain pass. Returning to constant temperature And smiling faces Quickly replacing The sour pusses On all the red necked gooses. Big white tail Like a flag; Come up on the land For a month We won't shoot you We think you're cute With your grey mouse ears All stood up straight How do you walk throught the snow When it's over eight feet deep? Back to streetlight colors splashed off Rain-soaked streets As snow above So rain below Walking through the valley Of the shadow Living in the light Silence in the city You got an hour between The last of the last callers And the droning streetsweeper Oh, I can't wait a few months Until the city plow is smashing its blade Upon my curb? Shaking my bones? No, bring on the snow, Bring on the snow! I don't ski but shoe But don't you know I can still get lost in it Like a child in a blizzard Who doesn't come home Until the sun has Gone down in flames Over the icy lake.

    Winter
    The air must be discontented too,as it throws jagged icy daggers at my face. Mottled black and grey sky, echoes depression like a chorus of sympathetic, yet helpless friends. The snow has no choices, or opinions. It simply lives it's life as the snows before. Born of clouds, it falls through air, joining it's siblings on the ground below. Dogs and Children revel in it's family reunion. It's kinder to them, I thought while shivering. Frozen breath and wet clammy eyes, watching a world turn from green and brown to white. Age and Winter do not mix, I mused again. Like Cognac and Ginger Ale. The fit's all wrong. This scene is for the Canines and kids. The rest of us just trudge along.

    on going goings on
    Only the searcherEver finds Only the knocker Ever has the door opened for On going Towards Goings on Falling so far behind On the catching up. Building and storing Accumulating of what? Only the Truth Knocks on the door Open And it will enter. And dine with you The Truth seeker and the fact finder Sitting across a round table Stacking a couple of chords While the hickory snaps In its ember bed. The over looker Looks over Giving and taking Care. Cats listening for Furry things scurrying by Dog's making his bed Closer to the stove But nobody knows Where nobody goes. I see you there All together now Every sweet spot Can turn sour Depending the way Thought is turned and held Dog stands up and Shakes it off Only the searcher ever finds Opens the door and dines.

    From The Heart Of Me -- D. Godchaux
    From The Heart Of Me Lyrics By: Donna Godchaux Horses slide down off the mountain Sunlight turning red Falls on the earth and it spreads Even the families lower their head As they ride Age old faces of the mountains Looming naturally I wonder if they're looking at me Their monumental eyes I can feel And the glow in the twilight The dawn of hope Reminds me Now I'm reaching out to you Anything I can do To be safe and warm In your arms All I have is the heart of you I'd meet you anywhere in the country Or anywhere on the sea All over the world it could be I would follow you With the heart of me Love calls echo in the valley Dream come true tonight Remembering you hold me tight In tomorrow morning's light I will find you When I awoke the stars were out And shining, shining for you and me All I ever want to be Safe and warm In your arms All I have from the heart of me

    Intuitive Transition (After-Visit)
    Intuitive Transition (After-Visit) Transition, internalized upon an intuitive regard. This witness originates as anyone who visits a friend in their last days. Malleably determined to appease the unavoidable Returning to rest in an realization of conversation. Testifying revisionist, corrects the mistaken moment, an affirmation that nothing followed as the door closed The anonymous lantern, a lambent of anomaly, offering to help yourself to it's clarity. Perfect beginnings, patiently comprehend the convergence We discuss watering the after-lands with tears of liberation. Interact a unique reproach, instincts left undone through out the empty room. Obvious impression sustain emotions, issue of fate and mortality Not in this lifetime, never did we answer unto our own Mind set alone, no other inevitability, occupies the horizon envisioned. Sage weather, spectrum of experience, lightning fire asunder intimacy Connect a physical initiation, senses thrive in the presence of the imminent. To soon the conclusion, ageless rebirth is an obligation to become the last to first. Sleep a peaceful night, its been raining since Sunday. Nature of the sentient embodiment, radiant beings, the lessor of gods creatures Cast upon the, ethereal epicycle, the universal calendar. Hourglass sand drifts over its faded past. Settling upon a sub-surfacing depth, a neutral landing. No one was mislead, when ever heaven's possible. Blessed with three reasonings, remembrance, mourning and condolence. Nurturing this cherished inactivity a reflection shown upon the inner deity. Every-light redeemed, thunderous pulse, turning hearts, and at the center of it all, love. II Come back around, be responsible, forgive the self. Don't we know, maybe today a truth no truer will heal you in the promise of tomorrow. Patiently we discuss the approaching definition. Grasping whispers of approval for this is the simplest accomplishment. Subjectively questioning, I don't know why we can’t hide. Distractions restrict the minds rebellion, rebelling against the bodies limitation. Cracked soul, redeems solitary daylight, shinning silently as faith defines. Transcended complications, you'll fly away once the continuum acclaims. The initiation of this original paradise, return from this earth's commitment. Falling from the eyes, fall away, revealing, where, they're to be. Mystic disk, tenuous blueprint, infinite sphere These days of calm behold us, reaching for the hands of heaven. Hearts replete its greatest belief resolving this lucid obstacle As we see the familiar beauty reinventing its outlook upon inspired sight lines. Resounding solitude, a shelter closer, giving solace, for tonight you are inspiration. You're done waiting to die, suffer no more, welcome home.

    Can You Understand? -- Betty Thatcher-Newsinger
    Dollars down the penny drainFrozen in the clouds Dream away the last of pain In waterfalls of sounds Float across the icy pools Leaves with curl and sway Now your mind is floating cool And you can find the way Can you understand you can really understand When the darkness comes you still shine Open up your eyes and make the day shine sunshine now Open up your dreams and and make the way shine sunshine now Can you understand you understand Can you understand you understand Open up your life and make your lifetime sunshine now Open up your soul and make your lifeline sunshine now Can you understand you understand Can you understand you understand Dancing without moving now Growing with your soul One with all around you now Related to the all Purple mist around your hair Eyes are fading blue Smiling into everywhere Love is coming through -- Betty Thatcher-Newsinger, lyricist for the band 'Renaissance' in the 70s

8/11/08 I'm not one to attract attention But there's something I have to mention Some might think it's an invention We believe it's true That His Love is bigger than a cadillac When He tries to show us but we drive him back Forgive us for the faith we lack And lead us home to you Some might say there's another solution But Heaven is my evolution I've seen enough of sins pollution To last me many lives And so I'll try to hang around Endure all I have lost and found Fight for Love another round Each and every day

Wake up, dig it, get jiggy with itOut the door, and then spin it Don't look back, gotta go Find something to call your own It's a wide-open feeling, as you fly through the air It's a wide-open feeling, to release all your cares It's a wide-open feeling, this Love that we have It's a wide-open feeling, don't drive yourself mad Looking left, looking right Straight ahead is your green light Put the pedal, to the floor Ain't no stoppin anymore It's a wide-open feeling, as you blast off the pad It's a wide-open feeling, maybe the best that you've had It's a wide-open feeling, this freedom we know It's a wide-open feeling, to let yourself go Out in front, the view is clearer The past is in the rear-view mirror Speed of light, stopping time Till I cross the finish line It's a wide-open feeling, as you're building up speed It's a wide-open feeling, when there's nothin you need It's a wide-open feeling, if you know who you are It's a wide-open feeling, you can shine like a star

I look at the starsFloating in the sky I'm stuck in a rut And I wonder why I need a jack And I need a tow I need a miracle To get to the show Along came a maiden With love in her eyes And for me she stopped While I sat surprized And then she said May I give you a hand? I'd like to help I'm with the band And I can see You've been through enough Come on and take A shower of Love Clean up yourself And get with the plan Show us your heart We understand

The notes would fly from his fingers The drums beat loud and wild The memory still lingers Like the smile of a child Take me back to Terrapin Lets go to Shakedown Street I find myself rememberin' The times that were so sweet Let it shine on me forever I will never forget Just like a wild rushing river Haven't reached the sea yet...

That's what poetry, lyrics, music is, after all. A gift from one heart/soul to another. Thanks to all who share their gifts. Here's another one. Still rough, but it's getting there. Can't help but think about All that might have been If I'd been a better man If I'd been a better friend. Would we have let the lovelight die? Would we have let the heartache in? If I'd been a better man If I'd been a better friend Well, I should have been a better man I should have been a better friend And I never should have let you go The way I did in the end It's too late now for turning back Time has passed to try again Wish I'd been a better man Wish I'd been a better friend

I wrote this one about 10 years ago when I was caretaking a place for six years in a geodesic dome on 40 acres on the side of Mt. Shasta with the closest neighbor the Ski Park two miles away and the closest town six and while I was hiking, mt. biking, or, for six months of the year, snowshoeing to to town I would see a lot of log-truck drivers and I put myself in their shoes for this one. Well I'm ridin' in my big rig Haulin' logs for Champion I got two more runs, to do today Before I cash it in And yes I love the forest And I wouldn't hurt a bunny But when it comes to me or trees I'll damn sure take the money Big trees, keep on fallin' Load em' up, and let me go So I can do my haulin' And when it comes to quittin' time And the beer-man starts a-callin' I'll park my rig, shoot a rack And order up a tall one These hippies and those Greenpeace freaks Get on my bloody nerves Just sittin' on their haunches Screamin', we must save the earth! Well if they had their way they'd soon be screamin' They were wrong It's no fun using corncobs When you're sittin' on the john And I believe in workin' hard for my pay I got a wife to feed, and kids to educate Don't take away my job, and put me on the dole I need to be a workin' man, it keeps me in control I'm rollin' down Route 89 It's another sunny day Two cuties in their sports-car Just gave me a wave Soon I'm off the pavement Winding up a dusty road I pull into the landing and I Grab another load Big trees, keep on fallin' Load em' up, and let me go So I can do my haulin' When it comes to quittin' time And the beer-man starts a callin' I'll park my rig, shoot a rack And order up a tall one

When I was young, Things went so slow You know how things Can go But now that I'm old and gray It's good to be Friends of the family. Things they go so fast today There's nothing that will last Past these days Everything is gonna Pass away so fast now Yeah, it's good to be Friends of the family Always far, and never near There's something still stays Together Through all the winds of Destiny that blow Yeah it's good to be Friends of the family. When I was young, you know, Things went so slow But now that I'm old and grey It's good to be Friends Of the family. -enjoy, andy

Until all the heavens have gone awayUntil the oceans they do the same I'll hang around for you Just like I said I'd do For you You For you Until the oceans they turn to rain Until the heavens they do the same For you I'll hang around Up on this dirty ground For you You For you Until the mountains they call your name Until your pleasure, it turns to pain I'll be here for you Just like I said I'd do For you You For you Until the atoms they go their way Until the giants they have their say All you have to do is call my name And I'll be there to ease the pain For you You For you -schubert andy

Puddlehead and Puddin' TimeCame out west in '49 To the gold fields they would go A miracle, was theirs to know They left St. Louie, one fine day Early in the month of May Onto the plains, they made their way The children laughed, the horses neighed Into the wilderness they moved Past the Omaha and Sioux They crossed the Rockies, by South Pass God's creations, built to last They endured both sun and shower Stopped a while at Franklin's Tower Re-supplied, and with new power Nothing here could make them cower Then one day they came to see A village of Shoshone They hailed the chief, and made their rest Smoked the peace pipe, passed the test Broke out fiddle, and banjo Danced all night under moonglow Good friends they had come to know But now it was time to go One last stretch of barren waste Was staring them right in the face They prayed unto their Lord and Giver And made it to the Truckee River Now more mountains in their sight They crossed over the Range of Light To Sutter's Fort, they made their way And waited out the winter's rains Prospecting in the spring thaw They moved up a secluded draw And there beside a rushing stream They knew that they had found their dream Puddlehead and Puddin Time Six long months they worked the mine Broke their backs in heat and cold And dug up fify pounds of gold

Stranger in a strange land I'm drifting away on Pink Fluffy Clouds I pause while the picture changes You seem to appear Right out of nowhere But it just keeps on Getting stranger, Stranger and stranger. You turn your head And toss your hair And I feel you Getting closer How can I get you to Come over here So I can tell you what I already told you What I already told yuh What I already told yu-uh. That I'm drifting away on Pink Fluffy Clouds I pause while the picture changes. You seem to appear Right out of nowhere, But it just keeps on getting Stranger and stranger Stranger and stranger.

What was that You used to say to me Things sure ain't What they used to be. Running crazy in the streets Living alone in between the sheets Was a struggle just to make it day-to-day Always looking for a better way. Never quite seen Anything come free No, things sure ain't what they used to be. Kids running crazy in the streets Night walker's dream, but they never sleep You talk so loud, but you look afraid Now it's time to sleep in the beds we made. So, well, come in to reality Still the same as it's always been And if you're still into the run around Well, everybody else long gone to ground. What was that You used to say to me Yeah things sure ain't What they used to be. -a

Hi folks, As the politicians continue their parties in this election season, I've written this little satirical rag to help us recover our righteous indignation and moral outrage over what these bozos have done to our country and world. Everyone can sing along: So, a one-a and a two-a: The Righteous Indignation Rag Welcome friends, how do you do Glad to see some of you pullin’ through Tell me now and tell me true Has this ol’ world been lyin’ to you Gather round and tip your hat The shadow man is the one in the black Got your name and number too Photographed in red, white and blue Blame it on the liberal pinko fags Do the righteous indignation rag You know, my god he don’t love the Jews The camel jockey ‘slamics too The Buddhists man can be such a bore Drop those atheists dead on the floor I know ‘cause Falwell told me so Now serving time way down below No air-conditioned fat cat limousine Just dinin’ on his sulfur and kerosene So be you straight or dressed in drag Do the righteous indignation rag Come on, boys, let’s join in the fight Through the gates of Hell we’ll be marchin’ tonight Dress you up in khaki and green A pocket bible and an M-16 You can fire on everything in sight God’ll sort ‘em out later tonight So jump onboard the war’s begun The new world order is a barrel of fun So wrap my ass up in the flag Do the righteous indignation rag They bomb my brain with EMP My guitar replies with its own remedy Dancin’ in the grass to keep me sane My mind goes a’ridin’ on the wind and the rain They call, “To arms!”, but I ignore Back myself right out of that door Locked forever, I’m gone, goodbye I got no mind for the idiot lies Time to split this scene’s a drag Do the righteous indignation rag Do the righteous indignation rag Do the righteous indignation rag… Peace, Byrd

I know it's been a long time And a long, long, lonely road. And I know that I hurt ya, babe And I just can't make that go. Baby, please don't make me Go through all this all alone It was hard enough before you left But now there's just no hope And if you're wondering why I called today I just called to say, Baby, I love you, and won't you please Come on home Baby won't you come on Won't you come on home. Baby won't you promise me You won't never, never go I know it's been a long road And you've come along, long way And I know that I hurt ya baby, And I just can't make that go away And if you're wondering Why I called today I just called to say Baby, I love you. and won't you please Come on home Baby won't you come on Baby won't you come on Baby won't you come on home.

Wakin' up this morning Drinkin' yesterday's coffee It's burnt tasting and bitter Just like the two of us. I think I'll let this morning Turn right into tomorrow I'm just gonna lean back And turn on the Jets Cause I got nothin' to add To this pile of words Just don't want to see you Turn your butter into swords So if you find me dreaming You might just leave me be Don't you know some stones Are better left unturned Sometimes it's better to Just walk on by Walk on by and Let sleeping dogs lie. Wakin' up this morning Drinkin' yesterdays coffee It's burnt tasting and bitter Just like the two of us I think I'll let this morning Turn right into tomorrow I'm just gonna lean back And turn on the jets.

No please don't go Just please stay We will pass our time away Inside the sunshine That we have stumbled Upon. Now that you're home Stay awhile Take a load off your bones, And let me say I don't ever want to see You go away. --- a thanks for the kind words, stuman and tl. i'm just trying to express a little intelligence, while i appear to be here. at any given moment, i'm gettin' way more than i'm givin', especially when it comes to dead.net. i enjoy trying to find my way around this vast virtual library architecture, and reading yer'all posties. love, andy ps i try to tiptoe in while you're all sleeping, and lay little poem-roses on your pillows, for when you awaken.

Just give me a reason to believe, And I'll go on, Wearing my heart out on my sleeve, I'll carry on, Just give me a reason to hope, And I'll go on, No matter how steep the slope, I'll carry on, I'll carry on. Just give me a piece of your heart, And I'll go on, Just a little piece of your heart, That I'll carry on. Just give me a reason to believe, And I'll go on, Wearing my heart out on my sleeve, I'll carry on, I'll carry on.

Just need a moment to clear my head,Straighten my spine, Allow my spirit to rise. One more time singing, one more time bringing Everything to life, in my mind. Just need a moment to clear my head Straighten my spine, Allow my spirit to shine. Telephone wires singing, trying to get higher Thinking that, there are no words Words. I'll have nothing to do with them Words. Won't be the same when I get through with them Just need a moment to clear my head Straighten my spine, Allow my spirit to rise. Bird on the wire singing. I have no idea, What was I thinking? That there are no words Words. Well, I'll have nothing to do with them Words. Won't be the same when I get through with them. Just need a moment to clear my head Straighten my spine. Allow my spirit to shine. Wind on the wire Singing. I have no idea, What are you thinking? Words Words. Well, I'll have nothing to do with them Words. Won't be the same when I get through with them Just need a moment to clear my head Straighten my spine. Allow my spirit to rise One more time singing, One more time bringing Everything to Life. In my mind. -a

I ain't got no place to call my own I ain't got no place, I'm all alone Ain't got no wife Stay out all night Cause I ain't got no life. But i'll tell you why These are the best Days of my life Cause I got you Lord, cause I got you. I'm losing hair I'm losing sleep I'm making promises I can't keep Time slips away To no one knows where If I think about it too much I get scared I ain't got no place to call my home I ain't got no place, I'm all alone Ain't got no wife Stay out all night Cause I ain't got no life. But I'll tell you why These are the best Days of my life, Cause I got you, Lord, cause I got you.

Why don't we close our eyesAnd fall into the future Just so we realize What we are shooting for Why don't we close our eyes And fall inside Into the world inside our mind It's all right, yeah, it's so nice So, don't you be unkind And I think you will find Everything is gonna be alright In good time So clap three times And you will know the answer It works everytime We believe Takes us right through The eye of the needle You can't use force To get inside. So, Why don't we close our eyes And fall into the future Just so we realize What we are shooting for Why don't we close our eyes And fall inside Into the world inside our mind It's allright, yeah, it's so nice So, don't you be unkind And I think you will find Everything is gonna be alright In good time. -a

What you gotIt's all you need You could have nothing And still be Singing in the breeze. Don't hold yourself down Spread your wings and fly Or just walk on into town And let those cars go by. Cause what you got It's all you need Head up into the hills And camp out in the trees. No one can keep you down Spread your wings and fly Or just kick on back And stare up at the sky. Cause what you got It's all you need You could have nothing And still be Singing in the breeze.
