Who goes to bed supperless, all night tumbles and tosses.

When Sleep Eludes
All those nights
When sleep eludes
The wily night plays
Many tricks!
Sometimes it smiles
Sometimes it mocks
Sometimes it pains
Most times it tosses
It tosses the body
On its undulating waves
Teases the mind and heart
And leaves one empty, dry and high!

Better to go to bed supperless than run in debt.
Go to bed supperless and you will wake without debt.
Better go to bed supperless than to rise in debt.
Better go to bed supperless than rise in debt.
One Tumbles Down
Power blinds, money blinds
And sex blinds. One tumbles down
Hunger blinds; so does revenge
Jealousy blinds. One tumbles down

Every Time I Go Around Here
Every time I go around here
I see tumbles
Gone is the Regal automobile
And ever since Im down
Im down
We used to ride in it
In this frozen town
Any time we had in the time we had
We found
We found
In some frozen place
Parked half off the ground
Every time I go around here
I see tumbles
Through my head and the glass cleared
And the motor rumbled
I dont know if its good that they did make the wheel
But ever since I know
I know
Ive been rolling on
Rolling on to you
Any time we have in the time we have
Well go
We go
To that frozen place
Frozen place that we knew
Every time I go around here
I see tumbles
Through my head and the glass cleared
And the motor rumbled

Fell Deed
a fell deed this night,
in the silent dark,
a dagger flashes,
and blood flows.
a fell deed this night,
done in candlelight,
the knife does fall,
as the victim tumbles.
a fell deed this night,
only a slight,
to the killer,
who doth run.
a fell deed this night,
running he be,
through the slight light,
a corner he turns.
a fell deed this night,
a bang a shot,
a gun doth drop,
a killer killed.
a fell deed this night,
a new killer laughs,
an evil sound.
a fell deed this night.

Splitter Splatter
Splitter splatter, splitter splatter
The rain tumbles, the rain scatters
Such a day for rubber boots
Such a day for a poncho suit
What a moment to kiss my fella
Under this polka dot umbrella
The muddy puddles, we straddle
Should have brought a wooden paddle
The rain's no more a pitter patter
The rain is now a splitter splatter
Splitter splatter, splitter splatter
The rain tumbles, the rain scatters

The Conscientious Deacon
(A song to be syncopated as you please)
Black cats, grey cats, green cats miau—
Chasing the deacon who stole the cow.
He runs and tumbles, he tumbles and runs.
He sees big white men with dogs and guns.
He falls down flat. He turns to stare—
No cats, no dogs, and no men there.
But black shadows, grey shadows, green shadows come.
The wind says, 'Miau!' and the rain says, 'Hum!'
He goes straight home. He dreams all night.
He howls. He puts his wife in a fright.
Black devils, grey devils, green devils shine—
Yes, by Sambo,
And the fire looks fine!
Cat devils, dog devils, cow devils grin—
Yes, by Sambo,
And the fire rolls in.
And so, next day, to avoid the worst—
He takes that cow
Where he found her first.

House Of Sand
(words & music by grant - baum - kaye)
Oh you can take a whole lot of sand
And build a castle on the beach
And though you mold it and you plan
Still you got nothing in your reach
One little slip and it tumbles down
One wrong step and it crumbles all around
Like a house without love, thats sure to fall apart
A house of sand is an empty work of art
You can build a tower of clay
But if you ask my advice
Well it is worthless as I say
I got no heart its cold as ice
One little slip and it tumbles down
One wrong step and it crumbles all around
Like a house without love, thats sure to fall apart
A house of sand is an empty work of art
One little slip and it tumbles down
One wrong step and it crumbles all around
Like a house without love, thats sure to fall apart
A house of sand is an empty work of art
A house of sand is an empty work of art
A house of sand is an empty work of art

Just when you think you've finally hit bottom, someone tosses you a shovel.
The Storm
A purple sky with
Its premature night
Arouses the breeze and
Sends it to flight
Through shivering trees
Who bow in its sight.
Ghosts of the sky
Gather and groan
Abhorring their lot as
They hang there alone.
Sudden arcs spark rumbles
Sending tumbles below.
A splotch, two, two million
And then...
The air is no longer
Sultry and warm,
But fresh and cool
In face of the storm.

It's a bad sign when the sick person tosses and turns in bed.
Life Is Like A Coin
Life is like a coin
Its two sides are joy and pain
Allah tosses it

He tosses aside his paint-pots and his words a foot and a half long.
Like in summer and spring
Nowhere there’s a place
where I can describe,
what joy you bring me
with every passing day.
As the sun kisses the morning
and the stars caress the night,
and the moon dances
over a sky filled with clouds
you are the one really good thing,
that this life has brought me.
When life tosses its darkest winter
and blizzards filled with disaster blow,
your love stays unwavering
like in summer and spring.

bed tosses and turns, returns
