You seem so sad...why not smile

Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have
In your mind
I’ll show them to you
And you’ll see them shine

  • Bob Dylan

On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

  • The Carpenters ( Burt Bacharach / Hal David)

Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

Bananarama. (Robbie Van Leeuwen)

Spent the last year
Rocky Mountain Way
Couldn’t get much higher
Out to pasture
Think it’s safe to say
Time to open fire

I live up here in this cabin in the woods.
Up where nobody visits and probably nobody should.
There’s a lot to consider once you get inside the door.
I’ve got a box full of secrets buried under the floor boards.

Little field mice livin’ under the house
Never eatin’ much, tough life for a mouse
And if you think you’re gonna be spared
You’re wrong
Field mice, head lice, spiders in the kitchen
Don’t think twice ‘bout whatever keeps you itchin’
Ice water, flyswatter, gonna get you through
The day

Mice eat cheese
And for the most part they do as they please
Cat comes home
mice don’t feel very free to walk around

Up the stairs to the landing, up the stairs into the hall
Take oasis, Marat’s bathing
We walk through the woods
We walk

Walk awhile, walk awhile, walk awhile with me
The more we walk together, love, the better we’ll agree
We’ll agree
One hand in your mouth and your finger in your eye
Undertakers bow their heads as you go walking by

Fairport Convention

Hey there
Come and take a walk with me
Stroll into infinity
We’ll stroll along until the dawn is gone

  • Patti Smith

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

And I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high

(Norah Jones)

Saturday night’s already old
Walking into Sunday, and I find
All desires are cold
I could walk forever, I don’t mind
Show me a light, your company
Goes a little way to help me see
The path on which I’m bound
Rather than the things I leave behind

  • Cold Chisel

My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then, I walk alone

The stars are out and shining
But all I really wanna know
Oh, won’t you show me the way, yeah
I want you to show me the way

Bad iPad shit formatting. Soz. And that was from my daughter’s wedding song too. Drat.

You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You had to lose yourself along the way
You changed your name
Well that’s okay, it’s necessary
And what you leave behind you don’t miss anyway

Goodbye, you can keep this suit of lights
I’ll be up with the sun
I’m not coming down

It’s hard to believe that there’s nobody out there
It’s hard to believe that I’m all alone
At least I have her love, the city she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry

  • RHCP

That’s what keeps me, that’s what keeps me
That’s what keeps me down
To leave, believe it
Leave it all behind

  • R.E.M.

So here I sit, rolling back to bed
Knowing love’s a hazard that I’d never guessed
But from this side of the morning
I couldn’t care less

Have become all I lost and all I hoped for
But I must carry on
Always one
Never broken

So I hold two fingers up to yesterday
Light a cigarette and smoke it all away
I got out, I got out, I’m alive and I’m here to stay

Carry on my wayward son
There’ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don’t you cry no more

  • Kansas

You snatch a chill and you match a cigarette
She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
I don’t know how much more of this I can take
She’s filing her nails while they’re dragging the lake
