Poor Henry had a hole in his penny loafer He saw her walking and he wanted to know her Poor Henry had a look of a man much older With his bindle slung over his shoulder Sweet Sarah with her pair of parrots and her elevator eyes She said her parents were heir apparents to a certain thorny prize Sometimes I wonder Do you remember When we met In the woods behind the garden Where we found a box of flowers And we looked at them for hours With the sunlight. begging pardon Of your mellow hidden powers

We’ve been dreaming of a better life Waiting it out, watching it go, down the drain Lives on auto pilot, lining up to buy it I’m not gonna live that way Feel it taking over no more playing games Giving up control to the right brain Tired of taking cover, let go of the pain Turn it off, turn it over To the right brain Practical or reaching for our dreams What should it be, black or white, do or die? Passion traded, broken down and jaded I’m not gonna go out that way Feel it taking over no more playing games Giving up control to the right brain Tired of taking cover, let go of the pain Turn it off, turn it over To the right brain

the circuit closes no more there’s a break in the arc where there should be a spark Resistance lost in the gate no more charge in the flow from a mute radio We’ll check the manual And search the archives The base schematics for control The valves start humming The amplifier burning cold There’s a blaze There’s a rush There’s a path through the brush By the light of a moon you can’t see could be ash could be dust could be all that you can trust could be holding the skeleton key It must have been a big scene All those years long ago Fly so high, vertigo Wish I could still feel so green when the flame lost its flick When the flush feels the sick We’ll check the manual And search the archives The base schematics for control The valves start humming The amplifier burning cold There’s a blaze There’s a rush There’s a path through the brush By the light of a moon you can’t see could be ash could be dust could be all that you can trust could be holding the skeleton key

Angels go dancing on heads of steel pins Lightly divining in circles and spins Clock watching Latin and chanting the bends Sharing a whimper and watching world ends Passing time singing and lost in a dance Spending eternity having no chance Gathered together in heavenly manse Daring to think and then put to the lance Fire and brimstone give devils their due To the pit screaming what’s in it for you Bone clashing titans cross oceans of blue Banished from Heaven for secrets they knew Approaching midnight the ghosts ring their bells Soft and sweet whispers from deep seven hells Dead men sing praises of their prison cells Wearing dead flowers in fancy hotels Fixing the game drove them all barking mad No sanctuary for sinful or sad Facing the void without faith ain’t so bad Peace and some quiet the best that we’ve had Fire and brimstone give devils their due To the pit screaming what’s in it for you Bone clashing titans cross oceans of blue Banished from Heaven for secrets they knew

v1: Don't you feel a little new today Like everything might be OK Yesterday, you left it far behind ----- There's nowhere else you'd rather be No other people you'd rather see And there's no chance of running out of time ch: You were only waiting to come alive And it seems this day has finally arrived You can feel it in the sun, hear it in the way the wind sings You're an old guitar, with new strings v2: You give a little, but you get a lot You give no thought to what you're not Yesterday is just a story that we tell ----- There's no reason that we'd try to leave There's no one else I'd rather see than you, today, so come out of your shell ch: You were only waiting to come alive And it seems this day has finally arrived You can feel it in the sun, hear it in the way the wind sings You're an old guitar, with new strings v3: Don't you feel a little new today Like everything might be OK Yesterday is just a song we like to sing ch: You were only waiting to come alive And it seems this day has finally arrived You can feel it in the sun, hear it in the way the wind sings You're an old guitar, with new strings

May Song Could you see me sitting on a cloud could you see me traveling earthward bound Looking at the walls with a song in my head Walking round in circles in a mild distress Could you see me walking in my sleep Could you see me walk inside your dream Looking at the walls with a song in my head Walking round in circles in a mild distress This may be a May song a May song This may be a May song a May song Could you see me sitting by a stream Could you see me hiding behind a screen Looking at the walls with a song in my head Walking round in circles in a mild distress This may be a May song a May song This may be a May song a May song
8.
May your legs carry you far May you endlessly strum your guitar May your brush paint each vivid hue May your friends always help you through When the world makes your nerves start to fray Your high beams never seem to give way You always have something Imperfectly sunny to say May your legs carry you far May you endlessly strum your guitar May your brush paint each vivid hue May your friends always help you through You teach me with each passing day That he who finds hope finds a way And you always have something Heartbreakingly funny to say May your legs carry you far May you endlessly strum your guitar May your brush paint each vivid hue May your friends always help you through
