A LITTLE GREEN

Born with the Moon in Cancer
Choose her a name she will answer to
Call her Green and the winters cannot fade her
Call her Green for the Children who have made her
Little,Green, be a gypsy dancer.

He went to California
Hearing that everything`s warmer there
So you write him a letter,say, "Her eyes are blue
He sends you a poem and she`s lost to you
Little Green, he`s a non-conformer.

CHORUS:

Just a little Green
Like the color when the spring is born
There`ll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little Green
Like the nights when the Northern Lights perform
There`ll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there`ll be sorrow.

Child with a child pretending
Weary of lies you are sending home
So you sign all the papers in the family name
You`re sad and you`re sorry, but your not ashamed.

CHORUS

Just a little Green
Like the color when the Spring is born
They`ll be crocuses to bring to school tommorow
Just a little Green
Like the nights when the Northern Lights perform
There`ll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there`ll be sorrow.

BLUE

Blue, songs are like tattoos

You know i`ve been to sea before

Crown and Anchor me

Or let me sail away

Blue, here is a song for you

Ink of a pin

Underneath the skin

An empty space to fill in

Well there`re so many sinking now

You`ve got to keep thinking

You can make it thru these waves

Acid, booze, and ass

Needles, guns, and grass

Lots of laughs, lots of laughs

Well everybody`s saying that hell`s the hippest way to go

Well i dont think so

But I`m gonna take a look around it though

Blue, I Love you


Blue, here is a shell for you

Inside you`ll hear a sigh

A foggy lullaby

There is your song from me.

THE QUEEN AND THE SOLDIER

The soldier came knocking upon the
Queens door
He said, "I am not fighting for you anymore"
The queen knew sh`d seen his face
Someplace before
And slowly she let him inside.

He said, "I`ve watched your palace up here
On the hill
And I`ve wondered who`s the woman for
Whome we all kill
But I`m leaving tomorrow and you can do
What you will
Only first I am asking you why".

Down the long narrow hall he was led
Into her room with her tapestries red
And she never once took the crown from her
Head
She asked him there to sit down.

He said, "I see you now and you are so very
Young
But I`ve seen more battles lost than I have
Battles won
And I`ve got this intuition, says its all
For your fun
And now will you tell me why?"

The young queen, she fixed him with
An arrogant eye
She said, "You wont understand, and
You may aswell not try"
But her face was a childs, and he
Thought she would cry
But she closed herself up like a fan.

And she said, "I`ve swallowed a secret
Burning Thread
It cuts me inside,
and often I`ve bled".
He laid his hand then on the top of
Her head
And he boed her down to the ground.
"Tell me how hungry are you? how
weak you must feel
As you are living here alone, and you
are never revealed
But I wont march again on your
Battlefield"
And he took her to the window to see.
And the Sun, it was gold, through the
Sky, it was grey
And she wanted more than she
could say
But she knew how it frightened her,
And she turned away
And would not look at his face again.

And he said, "I want to live as an
Honest man
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
And to love a young woman who I don`t
Understand
Your highness, your ways are very
strange.
But the crown, it had fallen, and she
thought she would break
And she stood there, ashamed of the
Way her heart ached
She took him to the doorstep and she
asked him to wait
She would only be a moment inside.

Out in the distance her order was heard
And the soldier was killed, still waiting for
Her word
And while the queen went on strangling in
The solitude she preferred
The battle
Continued ON*

Lyrics by SUZANNE VEGA....
from Her Album TRIED AND TRUE

ALL ABOARD!!! (Not bored)
For a little ride on the Gravy Train!!! Our destination today will be Terrapin Station...

"Terrapin Station"
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Gar-CIA

-LADY WITH A FAN-

Let my inspiration flow
in token lines suggesting rhythm
that will not forsake me
till my tale is told and done

While the firelight's aglow
strange shadows in the flames will grow
till things we've never seen
will seem familiar

Shadows of a sailor forming
winds both foul and fair all swarm
down in Carlisle he loved a lady
many years ago

Here beside him stands a man
a soldier by the looks of him
who came through many fights
but lost at love

While the storyteller speaks
a door within the fire creaks
suddenly flies open
and a girl is standing there

Eyes alight with glowing hair
all that fancy paints as fair
she takes her fan and throws it
in The Lion's den

"Which of you to gain me, tell
will risk uncertain pains of Hell?
I will not forgive you
if you will not take the chance"

The sailor gave at least a try
the soldier being much too wise
strategy was his strength
and not disaster

The sailor coming out again
the lady fairly lept at him
that's how it stands today
you decide if he was wise

The storyteller makes no choice
soon you will not hear his voice
his job is to shed Light
and not to master

Since the end is never told
we pay the teller off in gold
in hopes he will come back
but he cannot be bought or sold

-TERRAPIN STATION-

Inspiration, move me brightly
light the song with sense and color,
hold away despair
More than this I will not ask
faced with mysteries dark and vast
statements just seem vain at last
some rise, some fall, some climb
to get to Terrapin

Counting stars by candlelight
all are dim but one is bright:
the spiral light of Venus
rising first and shining best,
From the northwest corner
of a brand-new crescent Moon
crickets and cicadas sing
a rare and different tune

Terrapin Station
in The Shadow of the Moon
Terrapin Station
and I know we'll be there soon

Terrapin - I can't figure out
Terrapin - if it's an end or the beginning
Terrapin - but the train's got its brakes on
and the whistle is screaming: TERRAPIN

-AT A SIDING-

While you were gone
these spaces filled with darkness
The obvious was hidden
With nothing to believe in
the compass always points to Terrapin

The sullen wings of fortune beat like rain
You're back in Terrapin for Good or ill again
For Good or ill again

Grateful Dead

A CASE OF YOU

Just before our Love got lost you said,
"I am as constant as a northern star."
And I said,"Constantly in the darkness
Where`s that at?
If you want me I`ll be in the bar."
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue T.V. screen Light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you are in my blood like Holy Wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I`m frightened by the devil
And I`m drawn to those ones that ain`t afraid
I remember that time you told me, you said,
"Love Is Touching Souls"
Well surely you touched mine
`Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Oh, your in my blood like Holy Wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said,"Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed
But you are in my blood
You`re my Holy Wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.

Lyrics by Joni Mitchell from her Album entitled BLUE

ASTRONOMY DOMINE - Pink Floyd

LIME and limpid green,
a second scene,
A fight between the blue
you once knew.
Floating down the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground
Jupiter and Saturn Oberon Miranda
And Titania Neptune Titan
Stars can frighten...

Blinding signs flap flicker flicker flicker
Blam pow pow
Stairway scare Dan Dare who's there...

Lime and limpid green
The sound surrounds the icy waters under
Lime and limpid green
The sound surrounds the icy waters
Underground

Into The Mystic

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic

Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky

Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don’t have to fear it

I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old

Then magnificently we will float into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home

And when thst fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don’t have to fear it

I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old

And together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl...


Lyrics By Van(The Man) Morrison

Cool, Opti! A Van ride/write to the Morrison Hotel !!!

* * * Sweet Thing by Van "The Man" Morrison * * *

And I will stroll the merry way
And jump the hedges first
And I will drink the clear
Clean water for to quench my thirst
And I shall watch the ferry-boats
And they’ll get high
On a bluer ocean
Against tomorrow’s sky
* And I will never grow so old again *
* And I will walk and talk *
* In gardens all wet with rain *

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I shall drive my chariot *
Down your streets and cry
’hey, it’s me, I’m dynamite
And I don’t know why’
And you shall take me strongly
In your arms again
And I will not remember
That I even felt the pain.
We shall walk and talk
* In gardens all misty and wet with rain *
* And I will never, never, never *
* Grow so old again. *

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
* And I will raise my hand up *
* Into the night time sky *
* And count the stars *
* That’s shining in your eye *
Just to dig it all an’ not to wonder
That’s just fine
* And I’ll be satisfied *
* Not to read in between the lines *
And I will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain
* And I will never, ever, ever, ever *
* Grow so old again. *
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
* Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes *
* * * * And your saint-like smile.... * * *

* * * Astral Weeks * * *

If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your Dream
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
From the far side of the ocean
If I put the Wheels in motion
And I stand with my arms behind me
* And I’m pushin’ on the Door *
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
There you go
Standin’ with the look of avarice
Talkin’ to Huddie Ledbetter
Showin’ pictures on the wall
Whisperin’ in the hall
And pointin’ a finger at me
There you go, there you go
Standin’ in the Sun darlin’
With your arms behind you
And your eyes before
There you go
Takin’ good care of your boy
Seein’ that he’s got clean clothes
Puttin’ on his little red shoes
I see you know he’s got clean clothes
A-puttin’ on his little red shoes
A-pointin’ a finger at me
And here I am
Standing in your sad arrest
Trying to do my very best
Lookin’ straight at you
Comin’ through, darlin’
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your Dreams
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me
Would you kiss-a my eyes
Lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
To be born again
In another world
In another world
In another time
Got a home on high
Ain’t nothing but a stranger in this world
I’m nothing but a stranger in this world
I got a home on high
In another land
So far away
So far away
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
We are goin’ up to heaven
We are goin’ to heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place
* In another face *

Hi Blue Dove...Welcome to the jam session.


* * * DOCTOR MY EYES - Jackson Browne * * *

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand

I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long

'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me

Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the PRICE for having learned how not to cry

LOve,
Stephanie
