"I Think I Understand" - Joni Mitchell

 

Daylight falls upon the path

The forest falls behind

Today I am not prey to dark uncertainty

 

The shadow trembles in its wrath

I've robbed its blackness blind

And tasted sunlight as my fear came clear to me

 

I think I understand

Fear is like a wilderland

Stepping stones or sinking sand

 

Now the way leads to the hills

Above the steeple's chime

Below me sleepy rooftops round the harbor

 

It's there I'll take my thirsty fill

Of friendship over wine

Forgetting fear but never disregarding her

 

Oh, I think I understand

Fear is like a wilderland

Stepping stones and sinking sand

 

Sometimes voices in the night

Will call me back again

Back along the pathway of a troubled mind

 

When forests rise to block the light

That keeps a traveler sane

I'll challenge them with flashes from a brighter time

 

Oh, I think I understand

Fear is like a wilderland

Stepping stones or sinking sand

"She's a Butterfly" - Martina McBride

 

She remembers when she first got her wings

And how she opened up the day she learned to sing

Then the colors came and erased the black and white

And her whole world changed when she realized

 

[CHORUS:]

She's a butterfly

Pretty as the crimson sky

Nothing's ever gonna bring her down

And everywhere she goes

Everybody knows

She's so glad to be alive

She's a butterfly

 

Like the purest light in a darkened world

So much hope inside such a lovely girl

You should see her fly, it's almost magical

It makes you wanna cry, she's so beautiful

 

[CHORUS]

 

God bless the butterfly

Give her the strength to fly

Never let her wings touch the ground

(x2)

 

She's a butterfly

Pretty as the crimson sky

Nothing's ever gonna bring her down

And everywhere she goes

Everybody knows

She's so glad to be alive

She's a butterfly

 

She's a butterfly

She's a butterfly

 

God bless the butterfly

Give her the strength to fly

Never let her wings touch the ground

(x2)

"High" -  Lighthouse Family 

 

 

When you're close to tears, remember

Some day it'll all be over

One day we're gonna get so high

 

And though it's darker than December

What's ahead is a different color

One day we're gonna get so high

 

[CHORUS:]

And at the end of the day, remember the days

When we were close to the edge

And we wondered how we'd make it through the night

At the end of the day remember the way

We stayed so close till the end

We'll remember it was me and you

Cause we are gonna be forever you and me

You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love

 

Don't you think it's time you started

Doing what we always wanted

One day we're gonna get so high

 

Cause even the impossible

Is easy when we got each other

One day we're gonna get so high

 

[CHORUS]

 

High, high, high, high

High, high, high, high

 

And at the end of the day, remember the days

When we were close to the edge

And we wondered how we'd make it through the night

At the end of the day remember the way

We stayed so close till the end

We'll remember it was me and you

Cause we are gonna be forever you and me

You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love

 

Cause we are gonna be forever

You and me

You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love

 

Cause we are gonna be forever

You and me

You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love

” The House Of The Rising Sun”

The Animals

 

 

 

"The House Of The Rising Sun"

 

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know I'm one

 

My mother was a tailor

She sewed my new blue jeans

My father was a gamblin' man

Down in New Orleans

 

Now the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and a trunk

And the only time he's satisfied

Is when he's on a drunk

 

 

Oh mother, tell your children

Not to do what I have done

Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the House of the Rising Sun

 

Well, I got one foot on the platform

The other foot on the train

I'm goin' back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain

 

Well, there is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know I'm one

To take this pain away from me

“ Troubled Souls”

Jack Savoretti

 

 

"Troubled Souls"

 

Never gonna break my silence

Never burden the ones I love

Never need head[?] or violence

Never asked help from god

Everything I go looking for heaven

I end up looking down in shame

And every time I am touched

I never know, if you feel the same

 

Am I ever gonna find it

What it is what I'm looking for

'Cuz I believe I'm gonna feel

What I never felt before

Only love

Only love

 

I get so high, I lose my breath

Every day I get a little bit closer to death

Some are frightened, some are not

Some forgive, some just want what everybody else has got

 

Am I ever gonna find it

What it is what I'm looking for

'Cuz I believe I'm gonna feel

What I've never felt before

Only love

Only love

Hmmm...

Only love

Only love

Yeah

 

Only love can stop this

We don't wanna fight no more

Only love, only love, only love

Only love can stop the world

We don't wanna fight no more

Only love, only love, only love

 

Only love

Only love

Am I ever gonna find it? (Only love)

What it is what I'm looking for

'Cuz I believe I'm gonna feel (Only love)

What I never felt before

Only love

Only love

 

Never gonna break my silence

” No Easy Way Down”

Norah Jones

 

 

 

 

"No Easy Way Down"

 

Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky

But now it must fall to the ground

Now you're sad eyes reveal

Just how badly you feel

'Cause there is no easy way down

 

The view from the cliffs

Must have been exciting

And up to the peaks you were bound

Now you're stranded all alone

And the path leads unknown

And there is no easy way down

 

No it isn't very easy

When you're left on your own

No it isn't very easy

When each road you take

Is one more mistake

And there's no one to break your fall

And lead you back home

 

Oh, oooh. . .

We all like to climb to the heights, I know

Where our fantasy world can be found

But you must know in the end

When it's time to descend

There is no easy way down

You know, you're gonna find

There is no easy way down

 

No it isn't very easy

When you're left on your own

No it isn't very easy

When you're left on your own

No it isn't very easy

When you' re left on your own...

 

❤️❤️❤️

” Nobody’s Crying”

Patty Griffin

 

 

"Nobody's Crying"

 

He jumps in a taxi, hands for the sky

He's off to slay some demon or dragonfly

He's lookin' at me, that long last time

I'll turn away again and I wave goodbye

In an envelope, inside his coat

Is a chain I wore, around my throat

Along with, a note I wrote

Said "I love you but, I don't even know why"

Darling, I wish you well

On your way to the wishing well

Swinging off those gates of hell

And I can tell how hard you're trying

And just have our secret hope

Sometimes all we do is cope

Somewhere on the steepest slope

There'll be an endless rope

And nobody's crying

 

Well a couple of long nights turn into a couple of long years

Of me walkin' walkin' around, around this trail of tears

Where the very loud voices of my own fears

Is ringin' and ringin' in my ears

It says that love is long gone

Every move I make is all wrong

Says you never gave a damn for me

 

For anything, for anyone

 

Darling, I wish you well

On your way to the wishing well

Swinging off those gates of hell

And I can tell how hard you're trying

And just have our secret hope

Sometimes all we do is cope

Somewhere on the steepest slope

There'll be an endless rope

And nobody's crying

 

May you dream you are sleepin', in a warm soft bed

And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread

Turn the sound of thousands of angels instead

Tonight where you might be laying your head

 

I wish you well

On your way to the wishing well

Swinging off of those gates of hell

And I can tell how hard you're trying

And just have our secret hope

Sometimes all we do is cope

Somewhere on the steepest slope

There'll be an endless rope

And nobody's crying

And nobody's crying

 

❤️❤️❤️

One of my fave Neil Diamond's, Sara, am listening to it right now actually, thanks.   I always wanted to name one of my dogs "Shilo", but somehow never did, lol.  Way before the days of Shilo Pitt, hah.  Great name!

Don't encourage Shook ... in case you don't know already, he's absolutely impossible, impossible, impossible!!!  (By the way, that means "impossible, impossible, impossible" in French).

Turned into the Hulk

As ever-lovin’ Hulk! HULK! HULK!

Okay, so I just had the most strange experience. As I was reading these last few posts and looking at Shook's groovy avatar, the host of CBC Radio's morning show mentioned the old TV show, "The Incredible Hulk". SOOOO STRANGE! Why would he say that at that moment? Shook, what have you done???!!! Hayulp!

"River from the Sky" - The Weepies

 

Friends I had from younger days

Most they have been washed away

Time's a river so they say

And then you drown

And then you drown

 

Heavy storm about to cry

Like a river from the sky

 

Life is like a waterfall

You are falling like a doll

You never think of me at all

There isn't time

There isn't time

 

Heavy storm about to cry

Like a river from the sky

 

Never you mind

Sweet waste of time

Truth is unkind

Truth is unkind

 

You were never mine

Sweet waste of time

Truth is unkind

Truth is unkind

 

Is there a river in the sky

An ocean just behind your eyes

Every night I say goodbye

To you again

To you again

 

Heavy storm about to cry

Like a river from the sky

 

Like a river from the sky

Like a river from the sky

Like a river from the sky

Like a river from the sky

"Enormous Wings" - Susanna Hoffs

 

There once was a very old man who had enormous wings

There once was a very old man who had enormous wings

 

They say he saw the world

Through the eyes of a blue dog

There once was a man

Who had enormous wings

 

It was said

The rain had knocked him down

People came to see from all around

He was lying there

He was lying there

 

His dreams are forever entangled in the mud

He's an angel tangled in the mud

Every soul you meet may be a stranger

He's an angel

He must be coming for the children

 

It was said

The rain had knocked him down

People came to see from all around

He was lying there

 

And though he'd like to sleep

The stars fall to the earth in heaps

And he's got tears in his eyes

Cause the town is filled with so many spies

They all avert their eyes

 

The rain had knocked him down

People came to see from all around

He was lying there

 

It was said

The rain had knocked him down

He was lying there

 

They say he saw the world

Through the eyes of a blue dog

He's an angel

Who had enormous wings

 

There once was a very old man who had enormous wings

"Once Upon Another Time"

Sara Bareilles

 

Once upon another time

Somebody's hands who felt like mine

Turned the key and took a drive

Was free

 

Highway curve, the sun sank low

Buckley on the radio

Cigarette was burning slow

So breathe

 

Just yellow lines and tire marks

And sun-kissed skin and handle bars

And where I stood

Was where I was to be

 

No enemies to call my own

No porch light on to pull me home

And where I was is beautiful

Because I was free

 

Once upon another time

Before I knew which life was mine

Before I left the child

Behind me

 

I saw myself in summer nights

And stars lit up like candlelight

I make my wish but mostly

I believed

 

In yellow lines and tire marks

Sun-kissed skin and handle bars

And where I stood

Was where I was to be

 

Once upon another time

Decided nothing good in dying

So I would just keep on driving

Because I was free
