PAGAN MAN
Pagan man in a pagan land
You need britches britches
Sell 'em to the Indian
Trade 'em to the Indian
Dump 'em on the Indian
Pagan man in a pagan land
You need horses, horses
Sell 'em to the Indian
Trade 'em to the Indian…

The Winnowing Wind
I feel the wind blow thru me
Oh, please don't let it undo me
Let it level and true me
The Wind. The Winnowing Wind
And here I stand, alone, against the wind,
And, who am I to think that I
Can stand alone against the…

JONAH LIVES UNDER THE BRIDGE
Jonah lives under the bridge
He's there, up off the ground
His world is looking down
Bicycles pass him by
Children ask parents why
Jonah lives under the bridge
Jonah lives under the bridge

SHOES
During the Iraq war there was a traveling exhibit: On a mall they would line up pairs of boots. One pair for each American soldier killed in Iraq.

This is from a poem by Cindy Sheehan's daughter, who's name I will include here when I remember it. It's her response to losing her brother in the Iraq war. A much publicised death. I think her name is Carlie.

Little did I know...

I was hanging out with Lisa Aschmann.
She was going to tell me a melody for it
but that never happened
so I took the…

WE DON'T KNOW MUCH
We don't know much...
We could be sad and not know why
We could say we're happy and know that it's a lie
We could say we're finished and start right up again
We could sware we're losin' and turn around and win
We could…

THERE IS A LOVE
There is a love that withers. There is a love that fades
The kind of love that makes you wanna hide behind the door
Pull down all the shades
There is a love that makes me wanna tell you
About how good I feel
There is a…

SONG OF THE CIRCLING MOON
We live on the shore of a mighty sea
Where the current is strong and nothing is free
The water is cool at the warmest noon
And the tides are ruled by a circling moon
We live on the edge of eternity
With our minds…

SLOOP JOHN B - REVISITED
My 9/11 song
Come on the Sloop John B, my grandfather and me
Blindly sailing. Hopes are failing. Storm hangs o're the sea
Guns a-blazing! Blaze amazing. Pants down around my feet
Captain, he got drunk. Just sits…

SHE DIDN'T KNOW
Her flame wasn't orange. It was white.
The kind you can't see at the noon day bright.
Not the fickle flicker of a candle light
But a point miles off on a moonless night
She didn't know she was beautiful
Nobody told her…

ACID TEARS
As the hours turn into days and the weeks turn into years
I am happy, but I'm always close to tears
Surely as the love that we share will last forever
Our bodies will die and our love will go on
And tho the thot that love will…

FOREVER EYES
Let's just say it's 20 years from now
Your hair's turned gray and I'm still alive, somehow
When all is lost, we've found, that money buys
Will I still see Forever in your eyes?
Let's just say our promises are true
That you…
