Dude stole my guitar

BICYCLE EDDY
Bicycle Eddy, he rode at night
Had no fenders on his bike
Had a brown streak up the back of his shirt
Eddy don't care. "It's just dirt."
Bicycle Eddy, he slept all day…
KAWEAH (says the crow)
"Kaweah, Kaweah"
There's a place on up the hill
Redwood trees are standing still
The murmur of the river will invite you
Lay your head down on a rock
You'll forget about the clock
The whisper of the sun will…
This is the original "song".

It was raining in the parking lot
We ran all the way to the door
That's when you said,
"I love you but I don't need you any more."
This is the original "song".

Is this a true story? How very sad. I was wondering how I would reply to such a statement, but then I realized you answered that question -- if you're a songwriter, you write a song about it. Even if it's only 35 seconds long. :(

FOR A PENNY
From the moment Toy saw the light
he was the center of attention.
In a room full of sunlight and 'Welcome,"
he was a new dimension.
Tiny traveler, arriving wet
Peggy hardly breaking a sweat
Toy was born in the middle of the…

The guest who commented below I must agree with regarding the early to mid '60s feel. and yet again, as the same guest noted, there is that "distinctively Jim Taylor" sound. And finally, again like the guest below, I like it!

"Svetlana" makes me smile. It evokes happy memories of the music of the early to mid-sixties for me. Yet it is quintessentially and distinctively Jim Taylor. Your songs are all so different, yet all bear your distinctive stamp. I like it!

VOICES
There is something deep inside that wants to laugh and cry
Something that would like to tell it's story
There is something deep inside that wants to dance and wants to fly
Maybe you would guess it's called the…
THERE, I SAID IT
The more you got, the more you got to lose
From the top of your head down to the bottom of your shoes
The things you love. The things you abuse
It's enough to give a white boy the blues
I said it. There, I said it
It might…
Mellow morning mist fall
Melting into day
This summer said son, you are lazy
Don’t follow any example, break every rule
After awhile you’ll find it’s so easy to do
Just stay within the limits of your love
Soon the air will turn colder…

Snow flakes splashing on my windshield
My old heater hums a tune
And I can hardly see the road
