When that fat old sun in the sky is falling,Summer evening birds are calling.Summer’s thunder time of year,The sound of music in my ears.Distant bells,New mown grass smells so sweet.By the river holding hands,Roll me up and lay me down.And if you sit,Don’t make a sound.Pick your feet up off the ground.And if you hear […]
Sunlight bright upon my pillowLighter than an eiderdownWill she let the weeping willowWind his branches roundJulia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreamsEvery night I turn the light out Waiting for the velvet brideWill the scaly armadilloFind me where I’m hidingJulia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreamsWill the misty master break meWill […]
It’s awfully considerate of you to think of me hereAnd I’m much obliged to you for making it clearThat I’m not here.And I never knew we could be so thickAnd I never knew we could be so blueAnd I’m grateful that you threw away my old shoesAnd brought me here instead dressed in redAnd I’m […]

Let There Be More Light" Far, far, far away – wayPeople heard him say – sayI will find a way – wayThere will come a day – daySomething will be done. Then at last the mighty shipDescending on a point of flameMade contact with the human raceAnd melted hearts Now, now, now is the time […]
The memories of a man in his old ageAre the deeds of a man in his prime.You suffle in gloom in the sickroomAnd talk to yourself till you die.Life is a short, warm momentAnd death is a long cold rest.You get your chance to tryIn the twinkling of an eye:Eighty years, with luck, or even […]
The path you tread is narrow and the drop is shear and very highThe ravens all are watching from a vantage point near byApprehension creeping like a choo-train up your spineWill the tightrope reach the end; will the final cuplet rhymeAnd it’s high timeCymbalineIt’s high timeCymbalinePlease wake me Butterfly with broken wings is falling by […]
