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

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 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.

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.

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 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) 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.

I saw Renaissance back in the late 70's, that's a flashback, can't really remember many of their songs but used to like them.

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
