Somewhere over the rainbow




Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I? i iiii

Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I hiii ?

Images from the darkest night


Images from the darkest night
Fight for mind and soul,
Rattling sticks and beating drums
Screams from masks unfold.
Shadows spin and slide from sight
Wild white eyes stare.Stamping feet beat up the dust
Cries rent the air.
A black crow perches up aboveCruel beak and claws bare,
Where now the promised land my love
Lush fields at heaven's gate.
Morning is an age away
Love, save me from my fate.

Six Ribbons


If I were a minstrel I’d sing you six love songs,
To tell the whole world of the love that we share,
If I were a merchant I’d bring you six diamonds,
With six blood red roses for my love to wear,

But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer,
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair,
Yellow and brown, blue as the sky,
Red as my blood, green as your eyes,

If I were a nobleman I’d bring you six carriages,
With six snow white horses to take you anywhere,
If I were the emperor I’d build you six palaces,
With six hundred servants for comforting fare,

But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer,
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair,

If I were a minstrel I’d sing you six love songs,
To tell the whole world of the love that we share,
So be not afraid my love, you’re never alone love,
While you wear my ribbons tying back your hair,

Once I was a simple man, a poor common farmer,
I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair,
Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share,
Is only six ribbons to tie back your hair,
Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share,
I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair.

Yellow Eyes


Closing my eyes . . . .

listening to the music . . .

I can see in my mind the two wolves roaming the wild country . . . . . . . . .

We've roamed the wild country

My beautiful yellow eyes

Side by side we've hunted

Shadows dancing on northern skies

There have been times of plenty

We were content and serene

Peacefully sleeping

Dangers few and far between

We've also known much hunger

Ribs protruding from each side

Mournfully we howled

When our starving cubs had died

And then there was our first winter

Romping through the glistening snow

Tasting each crystal snowflake

Falling gently to and fro

Ah my dear, sweet yellow eyes

I've known no greater love

Without you I am nothing

Our wild souls are one

And now you lay there dying

Steel jaws upon your frame

Life's blood slowly seeping

I whisper your sweet name

Helpless, I watch you struggle

Chest heaving with labored breath

Steel jaws clenching tighter

Winds whisper the song death

The blood has now stopped flowing

I know the time is near

And you will forever leave me

My love, my life, my dear

And now my world is silent

Your struggles now have ceased

I lay my head upon you

And now you are at peace

Perhaps your soul has lifted

To skies where eagles soar,

And there you'll greet your brothers

To run with them forever more

And someday I shall find you

In the heaven's so far above

And when our wild soul's unite

They'll be no greater love

The saddest night - Pablo Neruda




Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

Through nights like this one I held her in my arms.
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.

She loved me, sometimes I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.

To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.

What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is starry and she is not with me.

This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

My sight tries to find her as though to bring her closer.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.

The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.

Another's. She will be another's. As she was before my kisses.
Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.

When they come for you? Bad boys bad boys whatcha gonna do?

"Mother" John Lennon



In July 1946, an event occurred that would emotionally scar John Lennon for life.

In a ludicrous attempt to throw their responsibility as parents onto their young son, Julia and Freddie left it up to John to decide which one of them he would stay with.

The terrified, sobbing child first chose his father, but upon seeing his mother walk out of the door and down the street, he quickly changed his mind and ran after her. . . . . . . . .


When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.
John Lennon




Mother, you had me but I never had you
I wanted you but you didn't want me

So I got to tell you
Goodbye goodbye

Father, you left me but
I never left you
I needed you but you didn't need me

So I just got to tell you
Goodbye goodbye

Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk and I tried to run

So I got to tell you
Goodbye goodbye

Mama don't go
Daddy come home

The song by John Lennon

One safe place


The beautiful song by Marc Cohn

From the movie "Brokeback mountain"

How many roads you’ve traveled
How many dreams you’ve chased
Across sand and sky and gravel
Looking for one safe place


Will you make a smoother landing
When you break your fall from grace
Into the arms of understanding
Looking for one safe place

Oh, life is trial by fire
And love’s the sweetest taste
And I pray it lifts us higher
To one safe place

How many roads we’ve traveled
How many dreams we’ve chased
Across sand and sky and gravel
Looking for one safe place
