Don’t Give Up On Me

October 30, 2025 2:01 pm Published by Comments Off on Don’t Give Up On Me

They came at night, I had to run I left with just the gold and a gun  Don’t give up on me, don’t give up on me  My friends ahead are thinking twice My friends behind have already paid the price  Don’t give up on me, don’t give up on me The plans they made will set us free If you only don’t give up on me  I know the sleep of broken dreams I know the taste of muddy streams The ridges and the hollows...

The Body Keeps The Score

October 30, 2025 2:01 pm Published by Comments Off on The Body Keeps The Score

I thought that I had said goodbye for good To everything I’d left behind in that old dark wood Now I’m back in the shade There’s a stranger at my door With a bill I haven’t paid The body keeps the score  I thought that I was clean away But the body always keeps the score Thought I’d stepped into a brighter day But the body always keeps the score Now I can hear that whispering blade Of the knife in the nighttime kitchen drawer And I’m standing here so afraid The...

Take It Handy

Take it handy, my old friend, ours is not to reason why Who knows when we’ll meet again underneath this wild sky We cannot shape the wind, but study it we can Take it handy, my dear friend, everywhere and everywhen  The road ahead is shorter now than the road behind May those treasures serve you well that you’ve laid up in your mind May all you meet along the way be open to your song Take it handy, my good friend, you’ve never done me...

Happy Birthday, Ada Mae

Ada Mae, you’re two today Guess I’ll be gone before you’re twenty Happy birthday, Ada Mae I wrote a song for you  Who can say what’s coming at you? This old world keeps hurtling on I could try to tell the future But I’d be wrong most likely  Ada Mae, you have a way Of changing everyone around you We love you more each passing day Your laugh is yours alone  Oh, I do fear my generation has been sleeping Deep inside a fever dream We’ve sown the whirlwind you’ll be reaping And...

Made For Me

Your soft mouth was made for me, yes it was Your soft mouth was made for me, yes it was Your deep blush was made for me, that’s for sure Your deep blush was made for me, oh, give me more  Mmmmmm…mmmmmm  Your broad back was made for me, yes it was Your broad back was made for me, just because Your slow hands were made for me, yes they were Your slow hands were made for me, give me more  Mmmmmm…mmmmmm  Your proud nose was...

My Body Felt No Pain

October 30, 2025 2:01 pm Published by Comments Off on My Body Felt No Pain

Out of the blue this morning Came a golden day The early fog had lifted Through my window pane After last night’s rain  I went into the garden The flowers fed the bees I straightened up and breathed in Apples on the breeze Glints all through the trees  No thing on earth I wanted No thought of loss or gain Nobody worth my envy My body felt no pain My body felt no pain  I forgot the hurt I’d suffered Forgot my deeds of shame The kestrel high up cared not And I felt the...

I’m Not Afraid Of The Dark

I’m not afraid of the dark anymore I’m not afraid of the dark anymore  Daughter, dear, now dry your eyes I’ve had enough of this disguise You can come and talk to me Underneath the pepper tree  I’m not afraid of the dark anymore I’m not afraid of the dark anymore  When I was an errand boy Through the streets I ran for joy Held my bundle to my chest Tipped my hat to every guest  I’m not afraid of the dark anymore I’m not afraid of the dark...

Tell us a story, Billy I’ll get another big log for the fire Tell us a story, Billy With tricks and spells and mad desire I know you got a story to make our laughter roar Doesn’t matter that we’ve heard that tale a hundred times or more! Tell us a story, sweet William A great long story  Tell us a story, Rachel Of the man tied to the mast Tell us a story, Rachel How the sirens sang in vain as his ship passed Remember that old shepherd who saved...
