Winter Bird
Time is asking you to move on
Time is asking you to move on
You have been walking
Walking so long
You have been walking so long
Time is calling
Away the winter bird flies
Away the winter bird flies
Into the spring skies

Lets go dancing…Out on a Moonbeam,
Lets hold hands… and step from star to star,
Lets go singing… cause you know it feels right,
Lets sing a harmony… That nobodies ever heard,
Lets go dancing… For the moon is full tonight,
…I’ll bring a picnic… You bring the wine,
Lets go singing… a song of love, tonight,
Ring a bell of lightness… upon our toes,
Can… you… write the words?
I’ve got a melody that needs an image
Can… you… hold me tight?
I’ve got a heart that needs proximity of liiiightness of being,
proximity of liiiightness of being,
Lets go dancing and fall in love again,
Fall in love again, Because we need to,
Fall in love again,
Fall in love again
Fall in love because we want to,
Monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday saturday
ni-i-i-ight
Full moon full moon full moon full moon brigheeigheeigheeight

Penny's Farm

Come you ladies and you gentlemen
And listen to my song,
I'll sing it to you right, but you might think it's wrong,
May make you mad, but I mean no harm,
It's all about the renters on Penny's farm.
CHORUS:
It's hard times in the country,
Down on Penny's farm.
Now you move out on Penny's farm,
Plant a little crop of 'bacco and a little crop of corn,
He'll come around to plan and plot,
Till he gets himself a mortgage
On everything you got.
You go to the fields
And you work all day,
Till way after dark, but you get no pay,
Promise you meat or a little lard,
It's hard to be a renter on Penny's farm.
Now here's George Penny come into town,
With his wagon-load of peaches, not one of them sound,
He's got to have his money or somebody's check,
You pay him for a bushel,
And you don't get a peck.
Then George Penny's renters, they come into town,
With their hands in their pockets, and their heads hanging down,
Go in the store and the merchant will say:
"Your mortgage is due
And I'm looking for my pay."
Goes down in his pocket with a trembling hand --
"Can't pay you all but I'll pay you what I can."
Then to the telephone the merchant makes a call,
"They'll put you on the chain gang
If you don't pay it all.

Jimmy’s In love with love,
Sally’s in love with Jimmy,
She bought him a diamond ring,
but he said its way too flimsy,
So she took it back,
And bought him a mocking bird,
And all it did was mock him,
And then his feeling hurt,
Satan’s got stock in God Yeah,
Satan’s got stock in God
Satan’s got stock in God Yeah,
Satan’s got stock in God
Satan’s got stock in God,
Satan’s got stock in God
Here comes Satan he’s driving home,
parking on your lawn,
So she fed it to the culture,
Who treated it like a vulture,
They gave it to the tax man,
Burn it it with wax man,
Then they set it free,
Back to whence it came,
Flying o’er the ocean,
Cawling him by name,
Satan’s got stock in God Yeah,
Satan’s got stock in God
Satan’s got stock in God Yeah,
Satan’s got stock in God
Satan’s got stock in God,
Satan’s got shares in God
Here comes Satan he’s driving home,
parking on your lawn, (Flaming hot rod)
Sally went to school ,
And stared up at the board,
Jimmy his mind,
Was falling through the cracks,
She stared of the window,
he was a playing ball,
Looking at the sunshine,
No one had his back,
Satan’s got stock in God Yeah,
Satan’s got stock in God,
Here comes Satan he’s riding home,
running on your lawn,
Satan’s got stock in God
Satan’s got shares in God,
Here comes Satan he’s riding home,
parking on your lawn,
Here comes Satan he’s riding home,
Driving on your walls,
Here comes Satan he’s riding home,
Squealin on your roof,
Here comes Satan he’s riding home,
Parking on your couch…

Honey Honey Bee

Once I had a dream fell into a stream
Stream took me away to where tornadoes were made
Children in the street jump underneath a car
Just in a way where the car rides over without pain and everyone’s alive
Read upon the news underneath the sea
Hidden things hiding from light
Who is here to rise above it all?
People come and some stay at the mall
haaaalls the waaaalls
The haaaalls the waaaalls
Honey honey bee hide beneath the tree
Count your petals three honey, honey tree
Knock upon the cave ancient picture waves
Knock upon the glass lets us take a bath
La la la la la la la
Living in the past history don’t last
Written on a parchment paper stored beneath the gas filled cave
Pots of clay
Oh dear old and ancient monk
Copying the scripts
Sleep alone upon your bunk
Copying the rifts between human kind
Communing with the greater thought

Let’s go plant a tree in the ground, in the ground
Let’s go plant a tree in the ground, in the ground
Bring the shovel, I got the tree and the bucket full of water
That’s up to my knee
Let’s go plant a tree in the ground, in the ground
Let’s go dig a garden in the ground, in the ground
Let’s go dig a garden, a garden, in the ground
Let’s go dig a garden in the ground, in the ground
Let’s go turn the soil and plant a seed in the ground , in the ground, in the ground
plant a seed in the ground
Watch it grow watch it grow watch it grow
Plant a seed in the ground, watch it grow
A little bit of rain a little bit of snow
Plant a seed in the ground and pray that it grows
Gonna build a garden a garden in the ground
Gonna plant a garden a deep in the ground
Grow food for my family
Grow food for my neighbors, neighbors
Gonna plant a garden in the ground, in the ground
Gonna be the best darn garden all around, all around
Gonna be the best darn garden all around, all around
Gonna be the best darn garden in the ground
With the river rolling by water from the river on the ground
