Rowena Is Queen
There she sits
Forever enshrined
Rowena is queen
Never be mine
Procession moves on
The ladies who wait
A golden gown
She radiates
Her violet eyes
Can’t look away
Acknowledgment
A holy day
Blow now wind
From the west
My lady rides by
I’ll have no rest
In the sky
Search for signs
The raven will fly
It’s harvest time
O who am I?
She’s above me
Rowena is queen
Eternally

From Afar
I have seen you from afar
Fascinated by who you are
Summer days when the light shines on you
Illuminating all you do
In the morning when I rise
See the world through new eyes
Because of you
And I’ll be drinking most every night
A country inn where the moon shines bright
I’ll think about you and dream away
And hope to meet you by chance one day
In the morning when I rise
See the world through new eyes
Because of you

Rainy Season Never Ends
Out in the rain
Steady drops outside
Out in the rain
Summer just a lie
And I don’t know where I’m going
And I don’t know where I’ve been
But the rain just keeps on falling
And this season never ends
Out in the rain
A late afternoon
Sudden memory
Safe in my old room
And I don’t know where I’m going
And I don’t know where I’ve been
But the rain just keeps on falling
And this season never ends
Out in the rain
People rushing by
Water overflows
Rain falls from the sky

Running Through the Fields
Running through the fields I don’t know why
Running through the fields I don’t know why
Head full of confusion burning lights
Running through the fields I don’t know why
Running through the fields I don’t know why
Dancing around the flames on Bonfire Night
Dancing around the flames on Bonfire Night
Catherine wheel exploding colors bright
Watch the flames go higher in the sky
November moon keeps flashing, flashing by
Running through the fields I don’t know why
Running through the fields I don’t know why
Head full of confusion burning lights
Running through the fields I don’t know why
Running through the fields I don’t know why

Guiding Light
Please be reassured that my love will be true
Wars call me away thoughts return to you
Saturdays in summer
Picture you in white
In my darkest hour
Be my guiding light
Stay with me tonight
Please be reassured that I’ll survive these days
Though death may pursue me I will make my way
Saturdays in summer
Picture you in white
In my darkest hour
Be my guiding light
Stay with me tonight

Watch the Ripples
Said you were tired of the same life – the same life
Up in the morning fatigue at night – every night
You’re riding home the day is done
Thinking about the future – what’s to come
Standing by the river casting stones in the afternoon sun
Sweet consolation – watch the ripples form again
End your frustration – watch the ripples form again
Thought you were clever, thought you were smart – O so smart
Left friends and family made a new start – a new start
You’re riding home the day is done
Thinking about the future – what’s to come
Standing by the river casting stones in the afternoon sun
Sweet consolation – watch the ripples form again
End your frustration – watch the ripples form again

The Way It Must Be
Heather and the morning dew
Turn around you’re not by my side
Dreams that will never come true
Wish away these days my pride
Down the sleepless nights, down the restless days – eternally
Pray for change to come but I know for now – the way it must be

Bigger Fish to Fry

Bigger Fish to Fry
I was walking to the park 5:53
The dog end another day extracts its fee
But in truth it didn’t matter much to me
I saw lovers on the bridge walk hand in hand
Wish I could have defected and joined that band
Gone solo – I know alone I’ll make my stand
Once number one now I’m shipwrecked on dry land
They say lovers look before the fatal leap
A common fact I’ve noted on a midnight creep
I stood on the riverbank 7:05
Wondered if I was awake barely alive
The Eye twists ‘round, revelations going by
As John said “there are bigger fish to fry”
They say one and one will never equal three
Tell me where your reality might be
Did you read Lamentations 23?
Tell me where your reality might be
Staggered back to the Borough 12:20

Faith Healer

Faith Healer
You sang yourself to sleep
And missed the Happy Hour celebration
You died within a dream
Of the imagination
The ambulance arrived
A siren fading off in the distance
The faith healer walked in
Offering assistance
So dry your dreary eyes for one moment
Float up to the skies if you dare
His hands reaching out if you take them the faith healer is there
You watched him from above
And noted how he shook with conviction
Took off the rubber gloves
Offered his prescription
So dry your dreary eyes for one moment
Float up to the skies if you dare
His hands reaching out if you take them the faith healer is there
And so he pulled you through
You journey now a dark expedition
Renewed your faith and hope
In superstition

Traveling
O don’t you really want to get away?
And don’t you really want to leave today?
Trains and planes and traveling mentally
Breaking through the clouds gliding on the sea
O don’t you really wish for something more?
The night sky calls to you beyond your door
Pubs & bars black motorcars highways
And day gone down that you’ve thrown away
Time keeps rushing forward
At the speed of sound
Like a bullet train
Destination bound
You wake up one day
You’ll wake up one day
Realize that time has slipped away
There will come a day…
So you drift away
So you drift away…
