G, singing to the universe

He is rooted in the redwoods now,
Cascading down the waterfall,
To dance on the waves of the sea.

He'll fly on the wings of the wind from mountain tops,
And find peace and prayer at the temples where his dreams lay.

His wingspread, now infinite

Untethered by earthy limits,

He will follow the paths of the saints,
In the villages of the cypress dotted hills.


His lovers will spread him on streets where his feet tread,
and the children will play his songs.

Orange Sky

Well I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky 
Yes I had a dream 
I stood beneath an orange sky 
With my brother standing by 
With my brother standing by 
I said brother, you know you know 
It's a long road we've been walking on 
Brother you know it is, you know it is 
Such a long road we've been walking on 

And I had a dream 
I stood beneath an orange sky 
With my sister standing by 
 
I said sister, here is what I know now 
Here is what I know now 
Goes like this
In your love, my salvation lies 
In your love, my salvation lies 
In your love, my salvation lies 
In your love, in your love, in your love 

But sister you know I'm so weary 
And you know sister 
My hearts been broken 
Sometimes, sometimes 
My mind is too strong to carry on 
Too strong to carry on 

When I am alone 
When I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone 
When I've lost all care for the things I own 
That's when I miss you, that's when I miss you, that's when I miss you 
You are my home 
You are my home 
And here is what I know now 
Here is what I know now 
Goes like this
In your love, my salvation lies 
In your love, my salvation lies 
In your love, my salvation lies 
In your love, my salvation lies 
In your love, my salvation lies 
In your love, my salvation lies 
In your love, my salvation lies 
In your love, in your love, in your love 

Well I had a dream 
I stood beneath an orange sky 
Yes I had a dream 
I stood beneath an orange sky 
With my brother 
With my brother standing 
With my brother standing by

G, in Jazz now

Muffle the drums.. and hope the new century comes…?
Was it all the amphetamine presidents and their busy wives
Or did Manhattan crumble the day Marilyn died?

All your life you dreamed a dream
Somehow connected with the silver screen
With half closed eyes you realise
It’s love in the life that is paradise
In a technicolour fade - I dream a parade
Like some flob house - bop house serenade
Every dog must have his day

Ramshackle day parade
We’re going on through
Ramshackle day parade

This is the Ramshackle day parade
Of all those lost, unborn and unmade
And whose heads got filled with neon lava
And remain buried under this road

Ramshackle day parade
Taking the freight elevator from the incinerators
Come all the hopped up G-men riding refrigerated alligators
Faces of the civil wars
In holograms holding 44’s
And after the deranged cowboys
Bring out the banners of Stalingrad

Bring out the banners of Stalingrad

Here comes the marching band - The band of the underhand

This is the Ramshackle day parade
Ramshackle day parade
