Here are some "non-dead" lyrics you may want to add to the archives. You=
=20
might have some already -- I'm not sure. I haven't kept a list of the=20
ones you have. However, someone asked me to add all the "Old & in the=20
Way" lyrics that I had, & I'm including some others that you might not=20
have yet.
Let me know, if you have time.
Happy New Year!
Love,

Book of Rules=09=09(H. Johnsen/B. Llewellyn)
Isn't it strange how princesses and kings
Can clown their capers in sawdust rings,
Just like poor people like you and me
Will be builders for eternity;
Each is given a bag of tools,
Shapeless lines, and a book of rules.
Each must make his life (as flowing ink/e'er as flown)
A stumbling block or a stepping stone,
Just like poor people like you and me
Will be builders for eternity;
Each is given a bag of tools,
Shapeless lines, and a book of rules.
Pow pa Pow Pow, Pow Wa-Pa-Pa Pow Pow
Wa-pa-pa-pow pow, wa-pow pa pow pow pow.
And I say small people like you and me
Will be builders for eternity;
Each is given a bag of tools,
Shapeless masks, and a book of rules.
Look where the rain is fallen from the sky.
I know the sun will be only missing for awhile.
And I say poor people like you and me
Will be builders for eternity;
Each is given a bag of tools,
Shapeless masks, and a book of rules.
Pow pa Pow Pow, Pow Wa-Pa-Pa Pow Pow
Wa-pa-pa-pow pow, wa-pow pa pow pow pow.
And I say small people like you and me
Will be builders for eternity;
Each is given a bag of tools,
Shapeless lives, and a book of rules.
Pow pa Pow Pow, Pow Wa-Pa-Pa Pow Pow
Wa-pa-pa-pow pow, wa-pow pa pow pow pow. (4X)
Forever Young=09=09(Bob Dylan)
May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true.
May you always do for others and let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
And may you stay forever young.
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true.
May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong.
And may you stay forever young.
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift.
May you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung.
And may you stay forever young.
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
The Hobo Song=09=09(Jack Bonus)
Too late to feel sorrow, too late to feel pain.
He's just an old hobo, and he's lost out in the rain.
He'll never cause trouble, so don't have no fear;
He's just an old hobo, and he'll soon be far away from here.
He used to be a gamblin' man, just like you,
Until he sank so low there was nothin' that no one could do.
He used to be a gamblin' man, just like you,
Until he sank so low there was nothin' that no one could do.
=09=09- break -
Oh, don't make him ask you; oh, don't make him beg.
He was a war hero, and that's how he hurt his leg.
Well, he killed thirty Indians with one cannon ball;
Now he's just an old hobo asleep out in the hall
He used to be a gamblin' man, just like you,
Until he sank so low there was nothin' that no one could do.
He used to be a gamblin' man, just like you,
Until he sank so low there was nothin' that no one could do .
(Repeat above verse.)
=09=09- break -
My wife and my children, who live in L.A.,
Oughta miss their dear Daddy who's gone so far away.
But they still have his picture; it's a-hung on the wall;
And he's just an old hobo asleep out in the hall.
He used to be a gamblin' man, just like you,
Until he sank so low there was nothin' that no one could do.
He used to be a gamblin' man, just like you,
Until he sank so low there was nothin' that no one could do.
(Repeat above verse 2 times.)
Knockin' on Your Door=09=09(Traditional)
I'm a-knockin' on your door again, my darlin',
I'm a-knockin' on your door, please answer me.
Well, (I've tried/I'm tryin') to make you realize, my darlin',
That no one else was ever meant for me.
Well, I remember, dear, you said you'd always love me,
And you promised me your happiness, so true.
But now you've gone away, dear, with another,
And I wonder if you feel the way I do.
I'm a-knockin' on your door again, my darlin',
I'm a-knockin' on your door, please answer me.
Well, (I've tried/I'm tryin') to make you realize, my darlin',
That no one else was ever meant for me.
=09=09- break -
I'm a-knockin' on your door again, my darlin',
I'm a-knockin' on your door, please answer me.
I never read the letters that you wrote, my little darlin';
I'm a-sailin' far across the deep blue sea.
I'm a-knockin' on your door again, my darlin',
To return the letters that you wrote to me.
I'm a-knockin' on your door again, my darlin',
This time, honey, I'm sure things gonna be.
=09=09- break -
So goodbye, my dear, I know you'll soon forget me,
And I hope that you find happiness, so true.
But wherever you may go, sweetheart, remember,
That my love will always be the same for you.
I'm a-knockin' on your door again, my darlin',
I'm a-knockin' on your door, please answer me.
Well, (I've tried/I'm tryin') to make you realize, my darlin',
That no one else was ever meant for me.
(Break, and repeat above verse.)
My Sisters and My Brothers=09=09(Traditional)
I'm gonna (say/sing) to my sisters and my brothers:
"Keep the faith;
When the storm flies and the wind blows,
Go on at a sturdy pace;
When the battle is fought and the victory's won,
We can all shine together -- we have overcome;
We'll talk to the Father and the Son
When we make it to the Promised Land.
"If we walk together, little children,
We (don't/won't) ever have to worry;
Through this world of trouble,
We gotta love one another.
(Let us) take our fellow man by the hand,
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together forever and ever
When we make it to the Promised Land.
"All by the moon (?) thou shalt not be afraid
Of the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day;
Nor of the pestilence that waited in the darkness,
Nor for the destruction that waited in the noonday hour.
"If we walk together, little children,
We (don't/won't) ever have to worry;
Through this world of trouble,
We gotta love one another.
(Let us) take our fellow man by the hand,
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together forever and ever
When we make it to the Promised Land.
"This world is not our home--we're only passing through;
Our trail is all made up way beyond the blue.
Let us do the very best that we can
While we're travelin' through this land.
We can all be together, shakin' a hand,
When we make it to the Promised Land.
If we walk together, little children,
We (don't/won't) ever have to worry;
Through this world of trouble,
We gotta love one another.
(Let us) take our fellow man by the hand,
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together forever and ever
When we make it to the Promised Land.
When we make it to the Promised Land,
Make it to the Promised land,
Make it to the Promised land,
Make it to the Promised land,
Make it to the Promised land,
Make it to the Promised land,
We can all be together forever and ever
When we make it to the Promised Land.
Mystery Train=09=09(Phillips/Parker)
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long.
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long.
Woman I love,
She's on that train to go.
Train, train, rollin' down the track.
Train, train, rollin' down the track.
Took away my baby,
You know it ain't bringin' her back.
Well I went down to the station
To meet my baby at the gate;
I asked the station master:
"Is the train a-runnin' late?"
"Whatever you been waitin' for?"
"The local forty-four."
"I hate to tell you, boy,
That train (ain't runnin'/don't run here) anymore!"
Train, rollin' down the bend.
Train, train, runnin' round the bend.
Took away my baby,
I'll never see her again.

Old and In the Way=09=09(Grisman)
CHORUS:
"Old and in the way,"
That's what I heard them say.
They used to heed the words he said,
But that was yesterday.
Gold will turn to grey
And youth will fade away.
They'll never care about you
While you're old and in the way.
Once, I hear tell, he was happy;
He had his share of friends and good times.
Now those friends have all passed on;
He don't have a place called home.
Lookin' back to a better day,
Feelin' old and in the way.
CHORUS
=09- break -
When just a boy, he left his home;
Thought he had the world on a string.
Now the years have come and gone;
Through the streets he walks alone.
Like the old dog gone astray,
He's just old and in the way.
CHORUS
=09- break -
CHORUS
They'll never care about you
While you're old and in the way.

Panama Red=09=09(Peter Rowan)
CHORUS:
Panama Red, Panama Red,
He'll steal your woman then he'll rob your head.
Panama Red, Panama Red,
On his white horse, Mescalito, he comes breezin' through town,
Then your woman's up in bed with ol' Panama Red.
The judge don't know when Red's in town,
(He's/He keeps) well-hidden underground;
But everybody's actin' lazy,
Fallin' out and hangin' 'round.
Well, my woman said, "Hey, Pedro!
You're actin' crazy like a clown."
Nobody feels like workin';
Panama Red is back in town.
CHORUS
=09=09- break -
Everybody's lookin' out for him,
'Cause they know Red satisfies.
Little girls love to listen to him
Sing and tell sweet lies.
Whenever things get too confusin', honey,
We're better off in bed.
And I'll be searchin' all the joints in town
For Panama Red.
CHORUS
On his white horse, Mescalito, he comes breezin' through town,
Then your woman's up in bed with ol' Panama Red.
Pig in a Pen=09=09(Traditional)
CHORUS:
I got a pig home in a pen,
Corn to feed him on;
All I need is a pretty little girl
To feed him when I'm gone.
Dark clouds a-risin',
Sure sign of rain.
Get your old grey bonnet on,
Sweet little Liza Jane.
CHORUS
Bake 'em biscuits, baby,
Bake 'em good and brown.
When you get them biscuits baked,
We're Alabama bound.
CHORUS
Goin' up on a mountain
To sow a little cane;
Raise a barrel of sorghum,
Sweet little Liza Jane.
CHORUS
Positively 4th Street=09=09(Bob Dylan)
You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning
You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it
You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it
I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with
Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with
You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it
When you know as well as me
You=D5d rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it
No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob them
And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You=D5d know what a drag it is
To see you
Sitting in Limbo=09=09(Jimmy Cliff)
Sitting here in limbo
But I know it won't be long.
Sitting here in limbo
Like a bird without a song.
Well they're putting up resistance
But I know
That my faith will lead me on.
Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the dice to roll.
Sitting here in limbo
Got some time to search my soul.
Well they're putting up resistance
But I know
That my faith will lead me on.
I don't know where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen.
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is passed and gone.
This little boy is moving on.
Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the tide to flow.
Sitting here in limbo
Knowing that I have to go.
Well they're putting up resistance
But I know
That my faith will lead me on.
Sitting in limbo
Sitting in limbo.
Strugglin' Man=09=09(Jimmy Cliff)
Every man has the right to live.
Love is all he has to give.
Together we struggle by the will to survive.
Together we fight just to stay alive.
CHORUS:
Strugglin' man has got to move.
Strugglin' man has got no time to lose.
I'm a strugglin' man and I got to move on.
The sun lights the day and the moon lights the night.
Strugglin' man keeps reachin' for the higher heights.
So we plan for tomorrow as we live for today.
Like the flowers we bloom and then later fade away.
CHORUS
The sun lights the day and the moon lights the night.
Strugglin' man keeps reachin' for the higher heights.
So we plan for tomorrow as we live for today.
Like the flowers we bloom and then later fade away.
CHORUS
That's What Love Will Make You Do
When I hear your name,
I start to shake inside.
When I see you stroll,
I lose my self control.
CHORUS:
That's what love will do for ya --
That's what love will make you do.
No matter how hard I fight it,
Baby, I'm still in love with you.
When they speak of beauty,
You can stand the test.
When they talk about makin' love,
Baby, you're the best.
Don't wanna brag about you too much
And give others ideas.
I'm tryin' hard to express myself,
'Cause, baby, that's the way I feel.
CHORUS

Tore Up Over You=09=09(Hank Ballard)
Ever since you've been gone,
I've just cried the whole night long.
Since the day you said goodbye,
You hurt me so; no lie, no lie.
Tore up over you and I just can't find my way
CHORUS:
Tore up, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Tore up, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Tore up, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Tore up (tore up).
Tore up over you and I just can't find my way.
There'll be nothing like you told me so;
If you did, how could you go?
It was you, not me, that left;
You went away with someone else.
Tore up over you and I just can't find my way.
CHORUS
Tell me, what did I do
To make you go away?
Tell me, what can I do
To make you come back to stay?
Tore up over you and I just can't find my way.
CHORUS
Tough Mama=09=09(Bob Dylan)
Tough Mama,
Meat shakin' on your bones
I'm gonna
Go down to the river and get some stones.
Sister's on the highway
With that steel drivin' crew
Papa's in the big house
His workin' days are through.
Tough Mama
Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Dark Beauty
Won't you move it on over and make some room
It's my duty
To bring you down to the field where the flowers bloom
Ashes in the furnace
Dust on the rise
You came through it all the way
Flyin' through the skies
Dark Beauty
With that long night's journey in your eyes.
Sweet Goddess
Born of a blinding light and a changing wind
Now, don't be modest
You know who you are and where you've been
Jack, the Cowboy, went up north
He's buried in your past
The Lone Wolf went out drinking
That was over pretty fast
Sweet Goddess
Your perfect stranger's comin' in at last.
Silver Angel
With the badge of the lonesome road sewed into your sleeve
I'd be grateful
If this golden ring you would receive
It was a-hotter than a crotch
I stood alone upon the ridge
And all I did was watch
Sweet Goddess
It must be time to carve another notch.
I'm crestfallen
The world of illusion is at my door
I ain't a-haulin'
Any of my lambs to the market place anymore
There is no end in sight
I've gained some recognition
But I lost my appetite
Dark Beauty
Meet me at the border late tonight.
Walk in the Sunshine=09=09(Barlow/Weir)
(Spoken: Look out, 'cause here comes some free advice ...)
Walk in the sunshine;
Watch for the bright sun;
Be all those things you're able to be.
You got to listen to the heavens;
You got to try and understand
The greatness of their movement
Is just as small as it is grand.
Try not to hurry;
It's just not your worry.
Leave it to those all caught up in time.
You got to deep-six your wristwatch;
You got to try and understand
The time it seems to capture
Is just the movement of its hands
I ain't preachin'
'Cause I don=D5t know
How to make fast things move along slow.
Can't stop it, can't make it go.
Just 'cause I say it,
That don't mean that it's so, no, no.
Watch what you hear now;
Make sure it's clear now.
Just 'cause it's said,
That don't mean that it's true
You got to make a revolution;
You got to help me with my cause;
You got to burn down all the buildings;
You got to roll out all the laws.
I ain't burnin';
Lord, I'm still only learnin'
How to become a man of my own.
I ain't crazy,
Nor am I (dizzy/dazey) (?).
I just want to find out
What's right and what's wrong.
I ain't burnin';
Whole world keeps on turnin'.
I'm still tryin=D5 'o find out
What's right and what's wrong.
I ain't crazy ...
The Way You Do the Things You Do
You got a smile so bright,
You know you could've been a candle.
I'm holdin' you so tight,
You know you could've been a handle.
The way you swept me off my feet,
You know you could've been a broom.
The way you smell so sweet,
You know you could've been some perfume.
Well, you could've been anything that you wanted to;
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do.
As pretty as you are,
You know you could've been a flower.
If good looks was a minute,
You know that you could be an hour.
The way you stole my heart,
You know you could've been a cool crook.
And, baby, you're so smart,
You know you could've been a school book.
Well, you could've been anything that you wanted to;
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do.
=09=09- break & key change -
You made my life so rich,
You know you could've been some money.
Baby, you=D5re so sweet,
You know you could've been some honey.
Well, you could've been anything that you wanted to;
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do.
The way you do the things you do.
The way you do the things you do.
Werewolves of London=09=09(Marinell/Wachtell/Zevon)
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain;
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's;
Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein.
Ah-oo, werewolves of London, ah-oo.
Ah-oo, werewolves of London, ah-oo.
If you hear him howling around your kitchen door,
Better not let him in;
Little old lady got mutilated late last night;
Werewolves of London again.
Ah-oo, werewolves of London, ah-oo.
Ah-oo, werewolves of London, ah-oo.
He=D5s the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent;
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair.
Better stay away from him!
He'll rip you lungs out, Jim.
I'd like to meet his tailor.
Ah-oo, werewolves of London, ah-oo.
Ah-oo, werewolves of London, ah-oo.
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen,
Doing the werewolves of London.
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen,
Doing the werewolves of London.
I saw a werewolf drinking a pi=96a colada at Trader Vi'=D5s,
(And) his hair was perfect.
Ah-oo, werewolves of London, ah-oo.
Ah-oo, werewolves of London, ah-oo.
Love,
Jolie

Keep On Growing=09=09(Clapton/Whitlock)
I was laughing
Playing in the streets, I wasn't moving
I didn't know my fate
Playing
The game of life was never really showing
I thought love would wait
I was a young man and I was sure to go astray
You walked right into my life
And told me love would find a way
Got to keep on growing,
Keep on growing,
Keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was standing
Looking in the face of one who loved me
Feeling so ashamed
Hoping
And praying, Lord, that she could understand me
But I didn't know her name
She took my little hand in hers and she told me I was wrong
She said "You're gonna be alright boy, whoa, gonna take so long."
Got to keep on growing,
Keep on growing,
Keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby,=20
Smeday Baby, who knows where or when girl
Just you wait and see
We'll be walking
Hand in hand alone as lovers
Honest as can be
Time is gonna change us, Lord, I know it's true
Our love is gonna keep on growing and growing is all we're gonna do
Got to keep on growing,
Keep on growing,
Keep on growing,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Next Time You See Me=09=09(William Harvey/Earl Forest)
Next time you see me,
Things won't be the same.
Next time you see me,
Things won't be the same.
Well, if it hurts you, my darlin',
You only got yourself to blame.
Well, it's a true, true sayin':
All that shines is not gold.
Well, it's a true, true sayin':
All that shines is not gold.
(And) like the good book say,
You got to reap just what you sow.
Well, you lied, cheated,
Whoa-oh for so long.

Oh Babe, it Ain't No Lie=09=09(Elizabeth Cotten)
One old woman, Lord, in this town,
Keeps a-tellin' her lies on me.
Wish to my soul that old woman would die;
Keeps a-tellin' her lies on me.
Oh, baby, it ain't no lie,
Oh, baby, it ain't no lie,
Oh, baby, it ain't no lie,
You know this life I'm livin's mighty high.

Honey babe, what more can I do?

All-a my love, all-a my kissin',
You don't know what you been missin',
Oh boy (oh boy), when you're with me
Oh boy (oh boy), the world can see
That you were meant for me.
All-a my life I been waitin',
Tonight there'll be no hesitatin',
Oh boy (oh boy), when you're with me
Oh boy (oh boy), the world can see

You can hear my heart a-callin'.
(A) little bit of lovin' makes everything right,
And I'm gonna see my baby tonight.
(Repeat entire song!)
All-a my love, all-a my kissin',
You don't know what you been missin',
Oh boy (oh boy), when you're with me
Oh boy (oh boy), the world can see
That you were meant for me.
That you were meant for me.
That you were meant for me.

Visions of Johanna=09=09(Bob Dylan)
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so=20
quiet? We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it
And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
Just Louise and her lover so entwined
And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind
In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out of the =D2D=D3 train
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That Johanna's not here
The ghost of Electricity howls in the bones of her face
Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place
Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
And when bringing her name up
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall
How can I explain?
Oh, it's so hard to get on
And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower freeze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze
I can't find my knees"
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel
The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
Sayin', "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a=20
prayer for him" But like Louise always says
"Ya can't look at much, can ya man?"
As she, herself, prepares for him
And Madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain
Wake Up, Little Susie=09=09(Felice & Boudleaux Bryant)
Wake up, little Susie, wake up,
Wake up, little Susie, wake up.
The movie wasn't so hot;
It didn't have much of a plot.
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked,
Our reputation is shot.
Wake up, little Susie,
Wake up, little Susie.
What're we gonna tell your mama,
What're we gonna tell your pop,
What're we gonna tell our friends
When they say, "Ooh-la-la"?
Wake up, little Susie,
Wake up, little Susie.
Well, I told your mama that you'd be in by ten;
Well now, Susie, baby, looks like we goofed again.
Wake up, little Susie,
Wake up, little Susie,
We gotta go home.
Wake up, little Susie, wake up,
Wake up, little Susie, wake up.
We both fell sound asleep;
Wake up, little Susie, and weep.
The movie's over, it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep.
Wake up, little Susie,
Wake up, little Susie.
What're we gonna tell your mama,
What're we gonna tell your pop,
What're we gonna tell our friends
When they say, "Ooh-la-la"?
Wake up, little Susie,
Wake up, little Susie.
Well, I told your mama that you'd be in by ten;
Well now, Susie, baby, looks like we goofed again.
Wake up, little Susie,
Wake up, little Susie,
We gotta go home.
What's Become of the Baby?=09=09(Hunter/Dead)
Waves of violet go crashing and laughing
Rainbow-winged singing birds fly 'round the sun
Sunbells rain down in a liquid profusion
Mermaids on porpoises draw up the dawn
What's become of the baby
This cold December morning?
Songbirds
frozen in their flight
drifting to the earth
remnants of forgotten dreaming
Calling ...
answer comes there none
Go to sleep, you child
Dream of never-ending always
Panes of crystal
Eyes sparkle like waterfalls
lighting the polished ice caverns of Khan
But where in the looking-glass fields of illusion
wandered the child who was perfect as dawn?
What's become of the baby
This cold December morning?
Racing
rhythms of the sun
all the world revolves
captured in the eye of Odin
Allah
Pray, where are you now?
All Mohammed's men
blinded by the sparkling water
Scheherazade gathering stories to tell
from primal gold fantasy petals that fall
But where is the child
who played with the sun chimes
and chased the cloud sheep
to the regions of rhyme?
Stranded
cries the south wind
Lost in the regions of lead
Shackled by chains of illusion
Delusions of living and dead
