You Are Immortal
You will be there,
Winds will shift the sands
Away will drift the lands
Your footprints will be hidden
Under debris of time….
In search of a honey drop
They will stop
to find you at the beehive
or in a dusty archive
where tales eons old
will be valued in gold….
Death comes not to spurn,
But to begin a new yarn,
It’s definite
You will remain a part of it.

Spectral
Come brother death, come walk with me
And tell me thy tales of long ago.
Show me thy patterns in thy sands of time.
Lend me thy dark cloak against thy cold.
Come brother death, come walk by me
And sing me wraith's song, full of men's woe.
Trace me thy footprints where all the world ends.
Wrap thy slender white fingers around mine.
Come brother death, come run with me
Far to where all wind and stars do sing.
Far away from this human hurt and pain.
Far to where thy peace and darkness reign
Come brother death, come run by me
Past blood laid lands and frozen seas.
And sing me of when death shall be no more
And pain but a dust wrapped memory.

Never Stop (1986 EP)
Never Stop" is an Emily Saliers song from the 1986 EP. The last
time I heard it performed was in March of 1990, I think. The lyrics
are transcribed directly from the EP lyric sheet. It's odd in that
it's one of the only IG songs that's gender-specific, in the line
"throw away your hidden ace, you clever man."
Never Stop
You say she's a very good friend,
Circumstances I should understand.
But like recurring tide she comes on to you
And looks as though she's looking for a man
Honey, Don't make yourself so available
My pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonable
Still, all in all, I forsee my own fall
But I've climbed too far to drop, so stop
I know it's your ego puts the smile on your face
Because you know you got your options open
She's a beguiling snake and she'll keep what she takes
But when she leaves you, I'll be the one coping
Honey, don't make yourself so available
My pride's in my pocket, but I can be reasonable
Still, through and through I can see clean through you
I know you like to be the one on top, but stop!
You will miss my conversation when you're talking to yourself
You'll be thumbing for advice through the pages of the novels on your
shelf
Honey, don't you see our love together's the very best bet
Put your focus on me and I'll forgive and forget
Throw away your hidden ace, you clever man, take my hand
You needn't play the part of your image
This is not a one act play we're living
As long as I'm here the situation is clear
It'll be 50/50 take and giving
Honey don't you see a lifetime's not much to ask
take off your costume and remove your mask
If yes is what you will say we're gonna satrt from today
We're gonna take it to the very top
Never stop

Red Velvet
Four months ago in april on a daycoach she came down
And the dust autumn winds begin to blow
Shoulda known I couldnt hold livin out so far from town
And the nights to come are long are slow to go
Well now shes up and left me and when walkin down the line
And the dusty autumn wind begins to blow
All dressed up in red velvet and he high heeled shoes so fine
And the nights to come are long and slow to go
Well if I had only know before we kissed
You cant keep red velvet on a poor dirt farm like this
Oh now shes gone and left me and went walkin down the line
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
Well Ill sit and count the evening stars as they walk around
When the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
Then Ill call my dog and Ill take the truck and Ill drive on into town
Cause the nights to come are long and slow to go
Well Ill sit and count the evening stars as they walk around
When the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
Then Ill call my dog and Ill take the truck and Ill drive on into town
Cause the nights to come are long and slow to go
And those dusty autumn winds begin to blow

Hidden Chapters
pieces of our story
waiting to be written
lay hidden in tomorrows
in places were yet to see
and the things still to do
events unfolding, reveal
so that we find in time
all that we will need
search and you shall find
the pieces to complete
yesterdays and today's
parts of our story
hidden away
together we search
together we find
together we live our lives
one hidden chapter
at a time

Footprints In The Sand
We are but pilgrims
traveling on this
journey
Leaving positive
footprints, in the
sands of time
The tide sweeps in
washing them to sea
again
but we must main-
tain
steady
through the floods
of time
When our journey has
ended
someday, we will
stand
before the master
planner
give account for our
footprints
left in the sands of
time.

The Sands of Tıme
Yesterday.!
I returned to
the beach,
once again
to gather
memories
looking for
a dream.
happy
moments
were spent
there,
moments to
be cherished.
gathering
shells for
our
collections,
whispered
secrets,
laughing
leaving
footprints
in the sand.
Today.!
as I wander
back
only one
set of
footprints
remain.
the other
lost
forever
in the
sands
of time.

Bop 'Til You Drop
Bop 'til you drop
Bop 'til you drop
Bop 'til you drop
Bop 'til you drop
No matter what
You just can't stop
Bop 'til you drop
Bop 'til you drop
Stick'em up
Give me your money
You act like a big shot
But you're really a dummy
They want your blood
They want every drop
Bop 'til you drop
Bop 'til you drop
Hey!
You tried and tried
But you're a flop
You're thirty five
Still pushing a mop
No time to cop
Do the cretin hop
Bop 'til you drop
Bop 'til you drop

Direction and Purpose
A river flows in one direction,
on down to find the sea.
As humans we to see a direction,
and ask our God to lead the way.
Everything needs a direction,
or purpose in being be.
Without a purpose or direction,
we are like the winds of the desert,
lost and forever wandering.
If we have nothing to justify
the existence of our soul,
we will drift on aimlessly,
through the eons of time,
until the poets run out of rhyme.

Honey you're so hot
Honey you're so hot
You're a ring of red gold
An amber ring on my finger
Honey you're so hot
You're a ring of red gold.
Honey you are a stage fright
Monster on my mind
When those wedding bells chime
For all... for all time
Honey genesis will sort
The mice from the men
Because when I'm with you
All I hear is amen
Like an anthem
Honey what's all the fog and haze
Will it not take us back?
To those lost lonely days
When we were racked with pain
Oh let us honey surmise
Oh honey you're so hot
You're a hot ring of gold
When I'm in the cold
Oh honey you're so hot
You're a hot
Amber ring on my finger
When all else is not?
Oh honey, oh honey, why not?
Oh honey, why, why, why not?
Let us surmise
A ring of red hot gold
Put that stage fright
Monster behind me
Because honey you're the one
For me
Because honey you're so hot
You're a ring of gold
An amber ring on my finger
Honey you're so hot you're
A ring of red, red hot gold:

Time
As precious as the golden sands
That fleeting winds blow freely,
Once in flight, he never lands
And with no leave, departs quickly.
He does not stop for any master,
Nor does he wait for any king.
For those who love, he will not falter,
For the dying, he is everything.
He mocks those who are wealthy,
His price has value more than gold.
Forever fleeing is his duty,
A fugitive we cannot hold.
So while he's in our company,
The best in life we have to give:
In work, in love, in family -
For Time when gone can't be retrieved!

In life and death
We will meet and we shall meet
the darkest day of our lives
For time moves on till a mirror reflects
For time doesn't stop neither for life nor death
Beauty and joy, wrinkles of pain
in life and time may remain a stain
Neither diamonds nor gold can stop its flow
for in life and death time will never move slow
For on the darkest day
of our flag, time will not lag
In repent or joy, time will show its stealth
for time neither mourns for life nor death

Love Sonnet 169 I Have Seen Sadness On The Prestine Sand
I have seen sadness on the pristine sand,
In faded footprints, you have failed to make,
More so that sands were once huge rocks, so grand,
Before this fate, that only sands could take:
To become the dunes, were dwelt my sorrow,
In dire stillness that aggravates my loss,
The craved tenderness, which you did not show,
That spawned a desert, much too wide to cross;
Though minute are the grains that slip my grasp,
Like truths that seep through a mind grief ridden,
Vicious as though rose harboring a wasp,
Thereby, in sweetness lurks its sting, hidden;
......Yet, your footprints did not last till evening,
......As blown sand covered your tracks of leaving.

Good Times
Sometimes I feel,
Ill never belong
I want to get there so bad
But its taking so long
Sometimes I feel
Like letting go
But when it comes right down to it, baby
Who wants to know? (no-one)
(chorus)
And I find (for a good time)
Im knocking for a good time (for a good time)
Now I find (for a good time)
Im knocking for a good time (for a good time)
Standing on the outside
Im looking in
Trying to be heard
I dont know where to begin
Help me baby show me how
To be a part of it all and all
Right here - and now
(chorus)
Hands are full of silver
My pockets full of gold
Its time Im trying to spend
And I cant get myself sold
Im a bargain honey
Im a giveaway
And you can have it all
If youd use up my day.

Just A Thought
On a sunny afternoon when
rain pours on my wooden deck
sometimes at dusk when I drive
as the evening lights begin to glimmer
daily routine is conjured up
and then the old tune plays on my radio
I am reminded again of that smile of yours
I heave a sigh and find myself with you
Eons have passed
The dust has settled
I have moved on
And so have you
Yet every now and then
You seize my thoughts
What is this hold I feel
I wonder now
Could this be real
Can this exist
I have read it in fairy tales
Screens are embellished time and again
This notion of love
What is it?
I sometimes wonder
An invisible string
That ties that knot
Somewhere two souls just stay and drift along
No touch is needed to keep it warm
No words are written but the saga goes on
Sometimes as a smile
at times a painful knot deep in the throat
A luminous secret
Cherished in the bosom
a butterfly that's let go but stays within you
just because its meant to be
i fooled myself
tried to run away
Put away those lovely notes
Hid all those happy pictures
Stayed away from the crowd
that has known me as yours
gone far away from the land you wake up and sleep
Yet not a day goes by
Not a dawn breaks through
Not a song passes by
not a love lorn look is lost
when your thoughts don't seize my mind
Don't get me wrong
I am happy where I am
I still smile and dance
I think I have it all
But that powerful magical whiff of warmth
I feel when I think of you
Now that's what I don't understand
i yearn at times
to see you
to talk to you
Sometimes just to sit next to you
on long bus rides along the dusty path
where roses are all I smell and fairies make my bed
I feel I may explode if I don't find u now
And then I wake up to make the meal
So long my friend
My soul's faith
I shall do what I need today
Till next time
When u seize my thoughts
And I give away

All I Ever Need Is You
Sometimes when i'm down and all alone
just like a child without a home.
The love you give me keeps me hanging on
oh honey, all i ever need is you.
Your my first love your my last.
Your my future your my past.
And loving you is all i ask
oh honey, all i ever need is you.
Winters come and they go,
and we watch the melting snow.
sure as summer follows spring
all the things you do.
give me a reaon to build my world around you.
Some men follow rainbows i am told.
some men search for silver some for gold.
i have found my treasure in your soul honey
all i ever need is you.
without love i'd never find a way,
through ups and downs of every single day.
i won't sleep at night until you say my honey,
all i ever need is you.

Sands Of Time
It was a time gone by
a time with no goodbye
but I left you
in the sand and the wind
You gave me your hand
but I couldn't hold on
you was taken
by the winds of time
Sands of time
blowing in the wind
when will they come for me
when will they come for me
I see your soul
dancing in the sands of time
I hold out my hand
but I just feel the sand and the wind
god forgive me
I can't go on
living in a world I don't belong
see my soul flying in the night
I will find you
no matter how long
I will find you
Sands of time
blowing in the wind
when will they come for me
when will they come for me

An Autumnal Frenzied Dream!
'Hey! Chum leave that sleepless graveyard shift
You are too old now and you said that you have the guard License?
Let's go to a Ghost Town and there's a project of Gold mining.
They hurriedly search for Security guards and offer a handsome salary
And much more benefits with a health insurance?
You get an opportunity to cure your nagging Sciatica too!
By the way secretly you can collect gold dust! '
The dark fellow murmured like a ghost
And I saw his upper golden denture that glitters!
In the morning I told my beloved wife
That I have an idea to work in a Gold mine.
Then she said; 'O No you are allergy to gold
That's why our jewelry still remain in the pawn shop
And not yet redeemed? '
And she cried secretly.
