Baseball on the Radio

Baseball on the Radio

Words (In progress)

At no additional charge
We've got our six-pack
And a deck of cards

The sun 
Winding down
Humidity high
Lawn chair in place
And feelin just fine

Just baseball on the radio

She says she's hurtin'
But I don't mind 
There's two on base
With plenty of time

Just baseball on the radio

At the ballgame
Grand slam on deck
When the pitcher 
Hits a home run
And the inning isn't over yet 

Just baseball on the radio

The sun 
Winding down
Humidity high
Plastic lawn chair 
She says she's just fine

But I don't mind 
There's two on base
With plenty of time

Just baseball on the radio

Taxi driver

Take me home

It's not far from here

Come on, let's go

I don't know 

What you're thinking

But I know I'm clear

I've got to get out of here

Taxi driver

Take me home

It's not far from here

Come on, let's go

Turn left up there 

Avoid the traffic and fanfare 

And the images

I can't bear

It's okay, 

I'll be fine

Back at home

Drinkin some wine

Safe and sound

Leaving you there

So better off

Au revoir

I don't care

Taxi driver

Take me home

It's not far from here

Come on, let's go

Own Time

Own Time

Words (In progress)

Take me round

Under sound

Living your own time

Take me round 

Hear the sound

Living your first light

In your own time

Feelings arise

See the bluebird on the rise

Living your own time

Three fourths

Minor 5th

Double back

Check the beat

Feel the rhythm

Put it on repeat

 

Forget Me Nots

Forget-Me-Nots

Words (In progress) 

You got one shot

A double shot

Violins and forget-me-nots

Sing for the money

Sing for the fame

Dressed in delight 

Found your name

Play the song

Play it wild and free

With violins

And tambourines

Forget-me-nots

Floating in the breeze

Broken Couches

Broken Couches

Words (In progress)

Broken couches and cracked guitars

Music plays under stars

You make me sing

Sink or swim

Funny how that goes 

When down, you tickle my toes

You make me sing 

Sink or swim

I'll take broken couches 

With you in them

I know why 

You crack that smile

Happiness and champagne 

For miles and miles

But do me a favor

Don't ever let go

Your glowing heart

Tickles my toes 

You make me sing 

Sink or swim

I'll take broken couches 

With you in them

Broken couches and cracked guitars

(Happiness for miles and miles)

On repeat....

Velvet Petals

By Julie Gengo

Softness on my pillow
Velvet petals

Two steps closer

Dreams in sequence

She

Words and music in progress

SHE

Red dress on
Wind strokes her hair
Silhouette of armor
Blocking out what's there

Eyes shift slowly
Wonder in the air
Dancing with the dreamers
Dreams from nowhere

Sometimes
I see her
Light reveals a torcher
Sunlight
Rewinds
Message
Falling prayer
Is she there?

Throw away the candy wrapper
She is on the beat
Rushing past the window washer
Walking down the street

Hear the whistle
Blowing loudly
Angels at her feet
Doesn't care
What she leaves behind
The music is so deep

So deep
So deep
