Lyric: Lovin Me, Lovin You

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Sun is out – I’ve made a list
Today I’ll get caught up on all the things I’ve missed
And the last thing is lovin you
Well I’ve got grass to cut, and bills to pay
I’ve got enough set up to sweat away the day
And the last thing is lovin you

How come we don’t know what’s really important?
How come little things get in the way?

Say my dear, do you remember when
The world was young, and all the time we’d spend
You lovin me, me lovin you
But years have passed, and all the stars have crossed
And somewhere in there something good got lost
You lovin me, me lovin you

How come we don’t know what’s really important?
How come little things get in the way?

Sun is out – I’ve made a list
Today I’ll get caught up on all the things I’ve missed
And the only thing is lovin you
Say my dear, do you remember when
The world was young, and all the time we’d spend
You lovin me, me lovin you
You lovin me, me lovin you
You lovin me, me lovin you

How come we don’t know what’s really important?

Word to your mother.

I’ve got my brain on inside out
And I cannot help but shout
That you never loved me
The way I loved you best
And this world’s tired and old
Quite a lot like the two of us
Remember what you’ve been told
And forget what you knew of us

If the day is done tonight
The sun doesn’t rise tomorrow
Please tell your mother
That there never was another
And I loved her daughter
More that I could ever say (more…)

Song Lyric: Untitled 1981

Woke right up in love with you
Baby don’t it feel fine
Woke right up in love with you
You really blew my mind

Well I love you, Baby
It’s understood
Don’t know what ya do
But you sure do it good

Woke right up in love with you
Baby don’t it feel fine

You give and you take
You laugh and you cry
You push and you pull
And a year goes by

Song Lyric: Your Kiss (2002)

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

Continuing with the kissing theme…

In the Grand Banks off of Newfoundland
The fishing fleets are riding low
Two miles above the dark Titanic
An iceberg passes, drifting slow
The old Atlantic is a barrier
With rolling waves and blowing mist
But though an ocean lies between us
My body reaches for your kiss

The Corn Feast

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

This post is the result of a game played with some of my poet friends. We each found poems online in a foriegn language. We each then “translated” the found poems into English. We did this not by actual translation, but by writing English lines inspired by associations in the sounds of the original poem. (I confess, however, that my poem was Spanish, of which I know a few words, so “casa” inspired “house,” etc.) I chose the poem “VEM PARA FICAR.”

Here is the original poem: (more…)

Everyone expects me to be jealous instead of relieved…

First thoughts, last thoughts, second thoughts.

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

I’ve just written this about ten minutes ago. I guess it’s pretty emo.

When I wake in the morning
What is my first thought
Is it all the things I’m missing
Or all the things I’ve got

Song Lyric: Full Moon (1998)

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

It’s cloudy tonight, the whole sky is covered
The full moon is hiding, but I know she’s there
‘Cause I can see a faint glow, I can feel her tides tuggin
And I’m certain she’s shining on someone somewhere

Song Lyric: I Gotta Try (1984)

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

The sad stranger passed away on Tuesday.  No matter what else I am, I am also my father’s son.  This could be his song as much as it is mine.

I have been famous for being obscure
And I got me a fine set of symptoms, but nary a cure
I’ve struggled hard at my life
Sustaining an effort just barely enough to get by
But I’m still in there pluggin
I still gotta try
