There are ghosts behind the house tonight They're partying in the woods She warned me not to leave her [As if I ever could] Strangers shout my name in the street They're knocking at my door She thinks she's gonna find me Passed out on the floor.
Too many voices talking in my head Too many wanting to be heard If she'd sing me the melody I know I could find the words
They're dancing in the moonlight keeping me awake Is she an angel or a devil Is a feeling I can't shake Gods and Generals call me all trying to spread the Word I used to be an eagle Now I'm just a tiny bird
Too many voices talking in my head Too many wanting to be heard If she'd sing me the melody I know I could find the words
I stumble thru the rocks and leaves to where I saw the light It;s gotten so quiet now they left without a fight The ones I've loved, the ones I've lost Come back again in songs There's so much in life that's good It's just taking so damn long Too many voices talking in my head Too many wanting to be heard If she'd sing me the melody I know I could find the words
If she'd just sing me the melody I could find the words. Hank Beukema revbuckmanmusic 2010

The gold wire you left in your saddlebag...I'm wearing around my wrist. As tight as you wound it. |

"I used to be an Eagle, now, I'm just a tiny bird."
Love that line, Hank. And, this one, too.
"It's a tunnel running nowhere"
You write some pretty awesome stuff ... stuff I love to read. You write with everything in you .... comes from all that you are and have been. Right?
Love, BarbraG

In her voice a dog is barking, Just outside my soul. She never saw the best of me She never saw me whole. Ornaments for earrings, Rainbow tattoos on her skin. Some days her hair was blonde Turned red the nights she sinned.
There never was the time then The way I've got it now. Forever's never long enough Always learning how. The times I knew and the times I cared They don't matter anymore Tonite that dog is barking Time to close up that back door.
Ornaments for earrings, Rainbow tattoos on her skin Some days her hair was blonde Turned red the nites she sinned.
One day or nite can change things The leaves blow down the street A woman laughs, a baby cries Did I teach her how to cheat? Somebody else's life Is playing in my head No direction left but up, More alive than dead
Years they pass, scars they show Redemption draweth nigh If it wasn't for the moonlight No one would see us cry Love comes to town once or twice Sometimes it even stays Like the circus, roll the tents The clown's the one who pays.
Ornaments for earrings, Rainbow tattoos on her skin Some days her hair was blonde Turned red the nites she sinned
Ornaments for earrings, Rainbow tattoos on her skin.

Where they sail to and where they arrive at are...not the same destination. "...just a little leap of Faith..." he says, treading water, pressing his mouth of invention to her ruby-stung ear. Later, he says, "I like to be surprised. How 'bout you?" |

Contagious candles. A litany of tides to enchant them. The usual palms and blue sky. All that falling-down Shangri La light where they live on the fault line leaning on Fate. "Bits and pieces of dreams scraping our cheeks," he says. |

Divine intervention pried the lips of the shell She had a body from Heaven A swagger from Hell He never saw her coming Pirate smile on her lips You have one and like it It's that easy to slip. Sometimes in neon he could see clear as day The ferryman rides you but you don't want to pay Eyes closed you don't see it, the bottle, the lips You have one and like it It's that easy to slip The perfume is smelled when you take off the top Her skin, the white powders Too good to stop. Pleasure keeps rolling Like a train thru his hips You have one and like it It's so easy to slip
So Easy To Slip

GIVIN UP ON GIVIN UP
They say no one likes a quitter And a quitter never wins, There's things I'm long past quitting That keep me where I've been
I'm riding round in circles Lord, I never see a smile I passed this place a week ago Yeah, It's the same old dusty mile
But I'm givin up on givin up I know it's going to take some doin But it's time I leave this highway This road is bound to lead to ruin I'm givin up on givin up God, I just can't take the pace When you're in a pack headin downhill You don't want to lead the race
I've seen my share of sunshine But mostly it's been rain I never see the top of the hill It's the same tired downbound train
Lord, I'm askin for one time to try Just One chance to get it right We've both been down this road before This time let me share your light
I'm givin up on givin up I know it's going to take some doin But it's time I leave this highway This road is bound to lead to ruin I'm givin up on givin up God, I just can't take the pace When you're in a pack headin downhill You don't want to lead the race
I'm givin up on givin up God, I just can't take the pace When you're in a pack headin downhill You don't want to lead the race

When the telephone doesn't ring after midnight, I always know it's you...
Three years and a day tomorrow, baby.

There were never problems between Carmelita and him anymore, they had settled in for the long run.
It was from outside, outside the circle, it was always from the outside, that it started.
When it ended, the bond stayed; for him.
Sometimes he thought it was taking a damn long time living without her
and him.

Before he ever put his arms around her, "Tomorrow..." he said, "...if there is one." |

He knew he was bad at fixing things, so he thought he would be good at breaking things.
The only girl in the commune/family/house that had a real job and a car had bought a horse and she couldn't ride him. She might of been, um, a little heavy but it wasn't just that. It was that no one had ever ridden this horse before. Buck was stoned [surprise] and he said he could break the horse but he was just showing off for the new girl, Michelle's friend.
They drove up to the Napa valley and it was over quick. It took one up and down shiver of the horse's butt and he was over the head and into a new state. The state of pain... and two cracked ribs. After Buck and the new girl washed the dust off in a roadside creek, they made love for the first time and he had hiccups all the way back to the City.
Not much of an ending, but it wasn't an ending. It was just a day that went on for a long long time...
Twenty years as a matter of faction... |

So I said to Miranda, Do you ever wonder what the next big thing is gonna be? She said, [as usual] What do you mean? [She says that alot] I said, You know, like John Lennon said nothing's gonna change my world, but, of course, something did. From towers sinking into themselves against that brilliant blue background to losing someone you love to death or a whim of the weather or the whiskey, every once in awhile, you blink once and the planets are in different places. She said, Oh, that. I try to stay away from thinking about politics.

She's searching for redemption From a past that let her down The dreams she had so long ago No longer come around The ticket to salvation Slipped just out of her reach She thinks the ship has sailed away She's still standing on the beach.
Winter spring summer fall Lessons to be learned Sure as there's a spark inside Bridges can be burned A touch of tenderness in the night A place to make a stand The times that we remember Are the ones we never planned
Morning brings another day Filled with hope and chance The gypsy music in her soul Can make the angels dance Dreams don't die when we awake They just go deep inside She's due a hundred days of laughter For evry night she cried
She's searching for redemption From a past that let her down The dreams she had so long ago No longer come around The ticket to salvation Is just within her reach She thinks the ship has sailed away She's still standing on the beach.
A touch of tenderness in the night A place to make a stand The times that we remember Are the ones we never planned
The times that we remember Are the ones we never planned
