FOR YOU
RICK......

Thanks for the reminder Ceph.
SNAKE
JUST ONE MORE MORNING,
I HAD TO WAKE UP WITH THE BLUES.
PULL MYSELF OUT OF BED,
PUT ON MY WORKIN' BOOTS.
CLIMBED UP ON THE HILLTOP, BROTHER,
TO SEE WHAT I COULD SEE.
AND THE WHOLE WORLD CAME FALLING,
RIGHT DOWN IN FRONT OF ME.........
I DON'T DO THAT MUCH TALKING, THESE DAYS.
THESE DAY, THESE DAYS I SEEM TO THINK A LOT
'BOUT THE THINGS THAT I FORGOT TO DO,
WITH YOU...
AND ALL THE TIMES I HAD A CHANCE TO......
AND IT'S A SHAME,
ALL THE FEELINGS WERE LOST IN OUR SCHEME.
THE "TIMES" WE HAD WERE FINE,YEAH,
DID WE HAVE TO HAVE THEM ALL THE TIME?...
SOMEDAY WE'LL FIND
WE SHOULD HAVE RELIED ON TIME......
DON'T LIVE TOO FAST'.
'TROUBLES WILL COME,
AND THEY WILL PASS'.
'WELL, FIND A WOMAN(yeah) AND YOU'LL FIND LOVE'.
AND DON'T FORGET, SON ,
"THERE IS SOMEONE UP ABOVE".
AND BE A SIMPLE KIND OF MAN
OH BE SOMETHING YOU'LL
LOVE AND UNDERSTAND......
OR WILL YOU HIDE THE DEAD MANS GHOST?
OR WILL HE LIE BENEATH THE CLAY?
OR WILL HIS SPIRIT FLOAT AWAY?
BUT I KNOW THAT HE WON'T STAY...... ......
WHERE YOUR SOUL IS ALWAYS FREE.
COVERS, PAGES, GOLDEN CURTAINS,
WILL MY HEAD PLAY THE PAST TO ME?
AS A RAINBOW GREW AROUND THE SUN,
ALL MY STARS ABOVE ME DIED,
THEIR THOUGHTS SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE SCENE YOU SEE,
THESE LOVELY PEOPLE PLAYED
JUST FOR ME...
WELL, IF I LET YOU SEE THIS PLACE
WHERE STORIES ALL RING TRUE,
WILL YOU LET ME PAST YOUR FACE
TO SEE WHAT'S REALLY YOU?
IT'S NOT FOR ME TO ASK THIS QUESTION
AS THOUGH I WERE KING
FOR YOU HAVE TO LOVE, BELIEVE AND FEEL
BEFORE THE BURST OF TAMBORINES TAKE YOU THERE...
THOSE THAT DON'T BELIEVE ME,
FIND THEIR SOULS HAD SET THEM FREE.
THOSE THAT DO BELIEVE IN LOVE,
AS TIME WILL BE YOUR KEY.
TIME TO TIME AGAIN A MAN CAN AFFORD PEACE OF MIND.
TO HELP ME FIND MYSELF AMONGST THE MUSIC AND THE RHYME
LET IT CHANT YOU THERE...
GREEN GRASS AND HIGH TIDES FOREVER
CASTLES OF STONE SOLELY FOR THEE
LOST FACES SAID, "WE ADORE YOU"
AS KINGS AND QUEENS BOW AND PLAY FOR YOU......
I'M AWARE OF THEM!
BUT IT'S JUST THAT I HAVE BEEN LOSING
SO LONG......
AND THOSE STILL TO COME,
YES, I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER!
BROTHER, I LOVE YA' & MISS YOU!,
