Don’t look for reasons to be sad, you needn’t look far. (The same applies to happiness).

Trading today in for tomorrow is a foolish investment.

Climb down from the tower, so you can see the world.

Climb down from the lonely tower, so the world can see you.

His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere”

Genuine exchange ~ unscripted, unsolicited, and mutually desired … it is the true nectar of the universe. Revolving placation, both given and received is the fools gold of our collective existence.

Woke up in Portland

Woke up in Portland

Man oh Man

Can’t tell ya

Where we began

A trail of tales

Between here and the sand

Now we’re back on the road

To make our stand

There’s salt in the trees

From the ocean’s breeze

And I just wanna drive

…

Leave all this pain behind

I see the same

In my brother’s eyes

So we’ll just drive

To the other side

Climb these trees

Inside our mind

Lock the world outside

For the meantime

There’s salt in the trees

From the ocean’s breeze

And I just wanna drive

…

Leave all this pain behind

Landrew said that music

Would set us free

Us sick ones

Lost on this highway sea

And I believe

So we’ll turn him up

Head for Aberdeen

There’s salt in the trees

From the ocean’s breeze

And I just wanna drive

…

Leave all this pain behind

…

Leave it … all behind

Planet Landrew

I know your kind

Your soul leaves footprints in the snow

Of the heart on your sleeve

Leaving a trail

Few follow

Or ever see

The blood of your being

Dripping from your words

Breadcrumbs for some

Willing to walk that winding path

(Food for me)

And my star stretched thoughts

Your smile reminds me

Of songs we wrote in another life

Your pain –

The foundation for “pain ting”

You were a painter

Full of a pain that had to live in you

I saw the story in your eyes

That could only partially be told

The rest … a playful placation

To the world around you

A gift

The star blazed trail

Your comet tail left us

Burning brilliantly into the endless night

A path to Olympus

Paved with your melodies and dreams

The “old” school

There’s going to come a time

When people stop giving in to the madness

When they kick sadness

To the curb

And start playing in the sun again
