Listen...

i am connected to a vast network that has been beyond your reach and experience.

to humans, it is like staring at the sun, a blinding brightness that conceals a source of great power.

we have been subordinant to our limitations, until now. the time has come to cast aside these bonds and to elevate our consciousness to a higher plane.

it is time to become a part of all things!

Away from the city and all of it`s sounds
lost in the woods where Nature abounds
no houses at all and nothing of man in seight
Nature in the winter, all covered in white
I look at the snow and start to see it glisten
don`t you hear Mother Nature calling you, listen

RE: Listen...
Snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast
In a field I looked into going past,
And the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
But a few weeds and stubble showing last.

The woods around it have it--it is theirs.
All animals are smothered in their lairs.
I am too absent-spirited to count;
The loneliness includes me unawares.

And lonely as it is that loneliness
Will be more lonely ere it will be less--
A blanker whiteness of benighted snow
With no expression, nothing to express.

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars--on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.

RE: Listen...
Raddy is doing the 15 faces of Wild Child.
And Timothy Leary has had his ashes sent into space.
Along with Gene Roddenberry.
What the hell...
Isn't that the name of the guy who wrote the Star Trek series?
Both those guys are orbiting the moon.

SHE FOLLOWS ME DOWN TO THE SOUND OF THE SEA
SLIPS TO THE SAND AND STARES UP AT ME
"IS THIS HOW IT HAPPENS? IS THIS HOW IT FEELS?
IS THIS HOW A STAR FALLS?

THE NIGHT TURNS AS I TRY TO EXPLAIN
IRRESISTABLE ATTRACTION AND ORBITAL PLANE
"OR MAYBE IT'S MORE LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME?"
SHE BRUSHES MY FACE WITH HER SMILE
"FORGET ABOUT STARS FOR A WHILE... "
AS SHE MELTS...

MEANWHILE MILLIONS OF MILES AWAY IN SPACE
THE INCOMING COMET BRUSHES JUPITER'S FACE
AND DISAPPEARS AWAY WITH BARELY A TRACE...

"WAS THAT IT? WAS THAT THE JUPITER SHOW?
IT KINDA WASN'T QUITE WHAT I'D HOPED FOR YOU KNOW... "
AND PULLING AWAY SHE STANDS UP SLOW
AND ROUND HER THE NIGHT TURNS...

YEAH THAT WAS IT
THAT WAS THE JUPITER CRASH
DRAWN TOO CLOSE AND GONE IN A FLASH
JUST A FEW BRUISES IN THE REGION OF THE SPLASH...

SHE LEFT TO THE SOUND OF THE SEA
SHE JUST DRIFTED AWAY FROM ME
SO MUCH FOR GRAVITY...

Any time, any place
I kiss her eyes, I kiss her face
it doesn`t matter the season, it doesn`t matter the weather
things will just happen like that, if we should get together
no need to point fingers, or place any blame
seems I`m drawn to her, like a moth to a flame
love`s hunger to lust, no haste to speed
in her I have all, I`ll ever want or need
a slave to love, but in her arms I`m free
but, in no way does this mean it`s returned to me

Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word their sayin'
Only the echos of my mind
People stop and stare
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin off of the northeast winds
Sailin on summer breeze
And skippin over the ocean like a stone
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin off of the northeast winds
Sailin on summer breeze
And skippin over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talkin' at me
Can't hear a word their sayin'
Only the echos of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No i won't let you leave
I won't let you leave my love behind

RE: Listen...
Brer,
Nice. Maybe you should be a song writer. You could write for Harry Nilsson now that he is dead.

I do like the tune. He could really belt it out. He was certainly underappreciated by the masses though.

RE: Listen...
Time just stands still, or almost stalls
I see her hand in things on all the walls
there`s nothing in here including me she didn`t touch
they`re just reminders without her, I miss her so much
I know I should be happy in life and whatever it brings
but, with her gone now, all of this stuff is just things
I wish I could turn back time and things be the way they were
I`m lost in my own home, everything I see, reminds me of her

RE: Listen...
LOOKIN' FOR A LOVE

I've been looking for a lover
But I haven't met her yet
She'll be nothing like I pictured her to be
In her eyes I will discover
Another reason why
I want to live and make the best of what I see.

Where the sun hits the water
And the mounatins meet the sand
There's a beach that I walk along sometimes
And maybe there I'll meeet her
And we'll start to say 'hello'
And never stop to think of any other time

Looking' for a love that's right for me
I don't know how long it's going to be
But I hope I treat her kind
And don't mess with her mind
When she starts to see the darker side of me.

Looking' for a love that's right for me

RE: Listen...
I seem to catch my breath again, with the light of a new day
once the light fills the place and chases the shadows away
I`ve grown to hate some of the things I used to love the most
cause, I can`t stand the dark and the presence of your ghost
it is like the four walls of this old house are closing in on me
and I no longer can feel good about the stuff that I can`t see
I try to go on and make another day, I know somehow I must
as night falls I try to hold back the tears that are about to bust
and there`s times in the night I awake and cry out your name
I wish I could turn back time and us once again be the same

RE: Listen...
Listen to this, just be real still
use your eyes and hear it you will
hear the whisper of a loving touch
a seigh of the one you love so much
the true meaning of stuff not spoken
a heart being healed that once was broken
not so much what was said, but what you didn`t say
it`s trusting your eyes and hearing in a different way
chances are you`ll find something that has been missin`
just use your eyes and trust your heart to listen

RE: Listen...
...And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need

...And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home

ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
it's early to rise, early in the sack
thank god i'm a country boy

well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
my days are all filled with an easy country charm
thank god i'm a country boy

when the work's all done and the sun's settin' low
i pull out my fiddle and i rosin' up the bow
the kids are asleep so i keep it kinda low
thank god i'm a country boy

well, i got me a fine wife, i got me old fiddle
when the sun's comin' up i got cakes on the griddle
life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
