I saw spring move out’the way Grumbling in a stormy, black surrender I saw petals withering Thirsty and completely undefended I read headlines in the dirt Telling of tomorrow’s armageddon Like the snowflakes in the spring So delicate, the change is out to get them Oh why’d you have to lie? Why’d you have to make a fool of me? Life is always on the line Why’d you have to leave me wondering? Just tell it like it is I saw gutters full of cash Flowing past the poet’s jurisdiction Twirling truth like maple seeds Giving way to any noisy fiction Oh why’d you have to lie? Why’d you have to make a fool of me? Life is always on the line Why’d you have to leave me wondering? Just tell it like it is I’m running to the edge Of the waters of substance Looking for the shade ‘Cause I’m dizzy and confused I’m searching for the fruit And it’s here in abundance I’m never going back To a diet of fake news I saw Summer’s setting sun Retreating in a stormy, black surrender

Living Spree 03:47
I’ve got a plan my heart is spilling out, love so take my hand the river’s edge will be our home you will never be alone We’ll have a place Where we can beat the weather let’s count the days while time and tears lay the stones this traveller’s found a home If you would be mine for a lifetime We’ll never stop chasing horizons touching the days that we should never see On our living spree our garden grows just like our love as sure as the big river flows We look to spring for the surprise …looks like this one has your eyes

I’ve got a dog I take for walks She thinks she’s walking me She picks the tree and where to pee My leash has let her free In afternoon sun, she cuts and runs By dusk when it’s dark, she’s scared and done I pour the food into her dish She’s growling at my leg I wonder if she had a wish We’d switch and I would beg With freedom in sight, her collar’s tight The hands that provide, she tries to bite I love her although her teeth still show My love pays the cost -- she’ll never know You love me although my teeth still show Your love pays the cost -- I’ll never know

The days go by Time won’t behave, don’t even try So let me give These weathered words to help you live The world believes Their chains will somehow make them free Don’t let your light Be put out by this windy night This worried heart is new to me I can’t save your soul or make it free This life’s a crazy one I wish I could warn you, son I had a thought That you could learn from scars I’ve got You could stand tall On all I‘ve done -- screw ups and all There’s so much I could never be So touch a day I’ll never see And take this life Make it your own And grow the seeds of oats I’ve sown This life’s a crazy one I wish I could warn you, son
