Arthur and Robin Hood<br />

Grandma's House,my house,your house and the little engine that said it could and<br />

the wicked witch of the West<br />

Some things you just can't ignore<br />

it's all just a question of scale<br />

My oars slice silvery water cut in two split the shimmering moon right into twi light<br />

Red tailed hawks soar so high up above<br />

Out paddling way past the civil hour for conversation bar hour 2AM<br />

the magic hour for making movies of a dry drunk who's way over his limit<br />

Sorcerers and Vampires as real as day come out to play here in Californi AY But<br />

there's no real silver bullets<br />

Is it better to have one best day or a string of ho hum drums you don't even play no<br />

more<br />

ANYWAY as you say AS IF WHATEVER just happened though I notice YOU<br />

DON'T SAY<br />

WHATEVER much anymore as a way out as if WHATEVER never happened<br />

ANYWAY.<br />

Old enough to be almost anyone's mother and nobody's baby<br />

Yeah I moved away to a planet where we're listening for sounds and signs of rain<br />

Talking to birds who tell me<br />

don't make the same mistake twice again Measure Once Cut twice have jumper<br />

cables handy<br />

free on the road again after miles of a bad back road what about a balance beam<br />

to calculate the many errors in judgement I made of anyone or anything even proving<br />

to myself by tightrope walking<br />

Old enough to know I ain't in charge of anybody's feelings<br />

and it ain't nobody's business if I do<br />

(Just don't ask me what's in it for you)<br />

Not much call for lone wolves or shape shifting wind walking clouds these days<br />

Who's to say? Could make a picnic, drink a toast under the Mulberry trees out of the<br />

heavy weather storm I've been chasing. My love is not a fragile thing.To think,silly me<br />

I chose this suit of clothes<br />

from an old suitcase long ago the years incarnate only to learn this one thing<br />

how to draw a map of the world that would bring me back to you. Out of the<br />

underworld with the pomegranate and golden thread A new Spring. We'd still be<br />

ahead of the game enough to make our own rules wouldn't that be something ,baby?<br />

(and I 'd still be loving you.This song line is 11 couplets long times 2 once removed<br />

equals me skating a figure 8 on a Northern lake with the loons.)<br />

(A talking blues ,a talkie ! It is an orchestral blues I hear and there are<br />

moments ,movements within,transitions with the droid alter ego helium child voice.<br />

Yucca Valley,California)<br />
