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
Angles at her feet
Doesn't care
What she leaves behind
The music is so deep

So deep
So deep


Foreign Soundscape

Lyrics and music in progress.....




Foreign Soundscape

Images of you
While I wake
Wrapped up in a new
Foreign soundscape
Birds are beckoning
Down by the lake
Crazy but it's true
The waves won't break

Just like that
I've fallen
Fingers on the backbone
I've fallen

Touch me in that spot
You know where this is going

Is it love,
I've fallen
Is it love,
I've fallen



Collide

Lyrics in progress......





















This is where we both collide
If we could only 
rewind
This is where we both collide
Slipping 
through time

Maybe we would get it right?
(What's right that's right?)
Like a mystery in streaming sight
(Bells are singing)

This is where we both collide
Find time
slip and slide
This is where we both collide
Out of sight
out of mind

Maybe we can fix our flight
(Soaring, soaring) 
Like a mystery in beaming light
(Church bells singing)







Drops - Song Lyrics From the 90s - Marion Daze



Marion Daze Live - Somewhere on Bleecker Street 25:28







Drops
By Julie Gengo/Ohad Varsano

And the rain fell
down the back of my neck
and off my fingertips
and my heart beat in unison
with the drops that hit my
feet hit my feet

Racing with the moon
In the
Course we will choose
Racing under the stars
Slowly rest
In between the parts

Shiver the loon
On bare mountain backs
Wandering through the haze
Searching for her match

Heaven knows
It's beauty shows
As the lake lies low
And the mist disappears

I'm falling
Into the night
Falling
Meet the face of delight
Falling
In through the clouds
Falling
Hear the wistful winds
Howl

And the rain fell
Down the back of my neck
And off my fingertips
And my heart beat

And the rain fell
Down the back of my neck
And off my fingertips
And my heart beat

Three Fat Guys

3 fat guys on a limb
One climbs to the top
One climbs like a lemur holding on for its life
One climbs like the swirl of a glass of Pinot in the hands of a world traveler 
All for the beauty of love on the edge 
And innocence protected
3 fat guys deep into soil, harvesting the riches of the past and the old country remembered

Yes I know, it's been a while. Life certainly gets in the way. Daughter now in her second year of college in NYC, been to Italy twice....and so much more. But hey, you have to live. 


I've been working on new song lyrics which are far from finished, but I'm posting the meager drafts that will hopefully encourage me to get my butt in gear and turn them into proper songs. 


And yes, I did find a guitar player that is just lovely. 



Wanna be my friend
Gotta catch me—run
I follow a cloud
Under midnight sun

Somewhere in the distance
Attention turned around
Where am I’m going
Can you slow me down?

With a slip of a tongue
And a bottle of rum
Well meet in the courtyard
Under sleepy sun

You and me
And a bottle of rum
We dance in the courtyard
Till moonlight comes



+++++++++++++==
Sally was laughing
She had a very fine day
She gave at wink to the postman
Then threw her mail away

And the people that you meet
When you passing down the street
Tips their hats and walk away

It’s all good she said
Waving her hand


+++++++++++++==
There was a man
Who kept all his gold in a can
He wandered around
With his head looking down

He can’t seem to find his
He can’t seem to find his way home

He was in love
He hid it inside of his head
It spun him around
His feet left the ground

He can’t seem to find his
He can’t seem to find his way down

Tick tock
The clock is broken
The clock is broken
And time has been stolen again

We pull the record off
The needle shrieks
And silence resounds
Yet again


+++++++++++++==
Everything’s better together
But sometimes you need to be alone

And it’s okay
I have a feeling
All okay
The calm is soothing

When you get you that perfect flight
And you figure out was working right

I’ll take the early bird
No need to check in

I can book on the fly

Lovers - Song Lyrics from the 90s - Marion Daze

This is a Marion Daze song that we never recorded as a demo. I'm not sure why as I like it. We were really hard on ourselves and we had no guidance. Maybe we just didn't think it was worthy. Our music surfaced when grunge was just taking off and we were different for the time we were living in. In the early 90s, internet didn't exist. There was no streaming service and email was debuting as the new way to communicate. And you really needed a record deal to make a good record. Those were hard to come by then. It's too bad Marion Daze didn't stick around as I think our songs would have gotten better and better. Maybe there is hope for a reunion?

Lovers
By Julie Gengo/Ohad Varsano


We are only lovers
Holding our breath
We are only lovers
Consumed by innocence

We are only lovers
In revolving unrest
We are only lovers
Holding our breath

Diving in
With my hair down
The sound of waves
In the background
La dolce dolce
Far Niente
Mystery ends
With the laughter
And the rain
The rain.....

Bop bop bop bop
oh whoa whoa whoa whoa wah
Bop bop bop bop
oh whoa whoa whoa whoa wah
Bop bop bop bop
oh whoa whoa whoa whoa ah

Young and restless
Full moon in view
Count the beats
Between the two
The measure
Never lies to you
Slip down through
There's nothing
Left to do
To do
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa

Diving in
With my hair down
The sound of waves
In the background
La dolce dolce
Far Niente
Slip down through
There's nothing
Left to do
To do
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa

We are
Only lovers
We are only lovers
Only lovers
Holding our breath
