Would you like to come home with me?I can think of things to show ya Thinkin' that I'd like to know ya, uh Mornin' milkman's comin' Get up, greet my day Evenin' brings the sun in Still I find my way Change of plans, makin' a landin' to see ya And I do wanna be your man, oh, yeah Sunday, highway drivin' It all looks about the same Nowhere, just arrivin' Still I play the game I'm home grown, growin' my own and I need ya Need ya to beg my pardon, to tend my garden Flowers, she's sittin' for poses She wants me to sing my song Hours, she's like a stoned Moses Guess I'll sing along

The streets are always wet with rainAfter a summer shower when I saw you standin' Standin' in the garden, in the garden wet with rain You wiped the teardrops from your eye in sorrow Yeah we watched the petals fall down to the ground And as I sat beside you I felt the great sadness that day In the garden And then one day you came back home You were a creature all in rapture You had the key to your soul and you did open That day you came back to the garden The olden summer breeze was blowin' against your face, alright The light of God was shinin' on your countenance divine And you were a violet colour as you sat beside your father And your mother in the garden The summer breeze was blowin' on your face Within your violet you treasure your summery words And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine Ignited me in daylight and nature in the garden And you went into a trance, your childlike vision became so fine And we heard the bells within the church, we loved so much And felt the presence of the youth of eternal summers in the garden Alright, and as it touched your cheeks so lightly Born again you were and blushed And we touched each other lightly And we felt the presence of the Christ Within our hearts in the garden And I turned to you and I said "No guru, no method, no teacher Just you and I and nature And the Father in the garden" Listen, no guru, no method, no teacher Just you and I and nature And the Father and the Son And the Holy Ghost in the garden wet with rain No guru, no method, no teacher Just you and I and nature And the Father and the Son And the Holy Ghost in the garden In the garden wet with rain No guru, no method, no teacher Just you and I and nature And the Father in the garden

It's really simple....and I hope it's new.... When I wake up in the garden Peaceful slumber wakes my eyes The sun and moon are always present There are no more crying people around Love fills all up inside me Filling my heart with wishful dreams No more sorrow fills my canvas Along this lonely sea Ships fall off of the horizon Bringing love, peace, and joy No fire can ever harm us Only music fills the air Silver turquoise teardrops drip down Into a window of your soul Touching your emotions with sorrow Of a thousand years of wisdom sold Love fills all up inside me Filling my heart with wishful dreams No more sorrow fills my canvas Along this lonely sea Silver turquoise teardrops drip down Into a window of your soul Touching your emotions with sorrow Of a thousand years of wisdom sold Of a thousand years of wisdom sold When I wake up in the garden Peaceful slumber wakes my eyes

When I wake up in the morning, love And the sunlight hurts my eyes And something without warning, love Bears heavy on my mind Then I look at you And the world's alright with me Just one look at you And I know it's gonna be A lovely day ... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ... When the day that lies ahead of me Seems impossible to face When someone else instead of me Always seems to know the way Then I look at you And the world's alright with me Just one look at you And I know it's gonna be A lovely day..... When the day that lies ahead of me Seems impossible to face When someone else instead of me Always seems to know the way Then I look at you And the world's alright with me Just one look at you And I know it's gonna be A lovely day......

....everybody look what's goin' down...... Lookin' all around me What do I see? Lots of changing faces Lots of things to be But I'm happy just to be A part of all I see As I turn around to look at you And you look back at me There isn't time to hang around Anymore So fill your heart with lovin' And open up the door Someone's calling out to you That's what love is for As I turn around to look at you And you look back no more I'm feeling low I'm feeling down My head's been twisted, yeah All around But now my feet, oh yeah Are on the ground For everyone to see... There's many ways to reach you Though you're far away All the little things we do The little things we say I miss you like I miss the sun I need you every day As I turn around to look at you And you look back my way Lookin' all around me What do I see? Lots of changing faces Lots of things to be But I'm happy just to be Part of all I see As I turn around to look at you And you look back at me I'm feeling low I'm feeling down My head's been twisted, yeah All around But now my feet, oh yeah Are on the ground For everyone to see... touché' :-)

If you gave up major vices you're between a hard place and a wall And your car breaks down in traffic on the street Remember, I'm the one who loves you you can always give me a call Turn to me, turn to me baby, turn to me If your father is free basing and your mother turning tricks That's still no reason you should have a rip Remember, I'm the one who loves you you can always give me a call Turn to me, turn to me turn to me When your teeth are ground down to the bone and there's nothing between your legs And some friend died of something that you can't pronounce, ah Remember, I'm the one who loves you hey baby, you can always give me a call Turn to me, turn to me turn to me You can't pay your rent, your boss is an idiot and your apartment has no heat And your wife says, "Maybe it's time to have a child" Remember, I'm the one who loves you and you can always give me a call Turn to me, turn to me turn to me When it's all too much you turn the TV set on and light a cigarette And then a public service announcement comes creeping on And you see a lung corroding or a fatal heart attack Turn to me, turn to me baby, turn to me, I'm just a phone call away Turn to me, turn to me hey, turn to me, one .... a dollar Turn to me, baby turn to me (Turn to me, turn to me turn to me) (Turn to me, turn to me turn to me) Total Eclipse of the Heart was my first choice but was censored... ;)

Born under a bad sign. Public radio is great, have our flavor here...short of SXM doesn't get better.....

I walked out my front door to the MOST AMAZING MORNING! Crisp air, nice breeze and dare I say it a hint of fall in the air... For STL in August that is rare. It's a beautiful morning, ah I think I'll go outside for a while And just smile Just take in some clean fresh air, boy No sense in staying inside If the weather's fine and you've got the time It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day Either way It's a beautiful morning, ah Each bird keeps singing his own song So long I've got to be on my way now No fun just hanging around I got to cover ground You couldn't keep me down It just ain't no good if the sun shines When you're still inside Shouldn't hide Still inside Shouldn't hide Still inside, shouldn't hide. Oh, oh, oh Ooh-ah-ah Ooh-ah-ah There will be children with robins and flowers Sunshine caresses each new waking hour Seems to me that people keep seeing more and more each day Gotta say, lead the way It's okay, brand new day Gotta say, it's okay Brand new day, gotta say, lead the way Oh, oh, oh Ooh-ah-ah Oh, oh, oh Ooh-ah-ah Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh Ooh-ah-ah Oh Ooh-ah-ah Oh, oh, oh

Hot and humid, was 79 degrees at 5:30 am, hit 90 yesterday... Time for an uplifting song by the Allman Brothers.... Jessica.... (It's an instrumental so feel free to hum along)

they sure do like singing about women, specific women... Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah. The gypsy flies from coast to coast Knowing many, loving none, Bearing sorrow havin' fun, But back home he'll always run To sweet Melissa... mmm... Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same. And no one knows the Gypsy's name No one hears his lonely sighs, There are no blankets where he lies. In all his deepest dreams the Gypsy flies with sweet Melissa... mmm... Again the morning's come, Again he's on the run, Sunbeams shining through his hair, Appearing not to have a care. Well, pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on, roll on. Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (Lord, Lord) Will you hide the dead man's ghost, Or will he lie, beneath the clay, or will his spirit float away? But I know that he won't stay without Melissa. Yes I know that he won't stay without Melissa.

jumpin the gun cause I want to be # 4,000 In the year 2525, if man is still alive If woman can survive, they may find In the year 3535 Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie Everything you think, do and say Is in the pill you took today In the year 4545 You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes You won't find a thing to chew Nobody's gonna look at you In the year 5555 Your arms hangin' limp at your sides Your legs got nothin' to do Some machine's doin' that for you In the year 6565 Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too From the bottom of a long glass tube In the year 7510 If God's a-coming, He oughta make it by then Maybe He'll look around Himself and say "Guess it's time for the Judgement Day" In the year 8510 God is gonna shake His mighty head He'll either say, "I'm pleased where man has been" Or tear it down, and start again In the year 9595 I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive He's taken everything this old earth can give And he ain't put back nothing Now it's been ten thousand years, man has cried a billion tears For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday
