How Leaden-Eyed The Sky To-Day
How leaden-eyed the sky to-day
Looks at Valletta:
Surely, surely unexpected quite
This May.
How gay, how gay
The day must have been
How sad, how sad the day
This May.
Ah! so our hopes so gay
They ought to so have flowered
But how sad how sad they lie
This May.

Daddy Still Runs Your Show
Daddy surely did love you
In his own fashion that is
And surely he told you sometime?
Though in a manner quite strictly his
Daddy demanded perfection
And all that such entailed
And surely he meted out correction
With rectifications clearly detailed
Daddy was very successful
A man standing above other men
And surely his life was quite stressful
As he reminded you time and again
Daddy was hard to please
And why should you have found him other?
And surely you understood
Observing the secreted tears of your mother
Daddy set high the standard
And outlined the goals for your measure
And surely that inspired your need
To place accomplishment ahead of pleasure
Daddy still runs your show
Though he lives now but in your head
And surely your present behavior reflects
The cold way he toodled you off to your bed

El Condor Pasa
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tired out to the ground
He gives the world
Its saddest sound
Its saddest sound
I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would

Do It Again
(graham russell)
I used to watch you walk away
Till the road you take would bend
I was the man to turn you on
And you knew it after all
Come tomorrow when Im all weary
You would turn me down again
At least thats the way I can remember
(chorus)
Do it again, do it again, do it again
Do it again, do it again, do it again
Every single word you told me got home
Im still thinking about them
Every little secret we should have known
And we cant live without them
You surely started something
You surely gave me something new
(chorus)
And I do think about you each now and then
And each time it gets tighter
From the road I can see the last break
And my heads getting lighter
You surely started something
You surely gave me something...you
(chorus)
You surely started something
You surely gave me something ...you

Psalm 55
O if I had wings like a dove
I would surely fly away
If I could feel the rain from above
I would live another day
Yet I wander in this rainless place
And death is never far away
If I could only see His face
I would surely live another day
The wind and the storms are all around
And I cry out to God and pray
If I could break free and was not bound
I would surely live another day
I will cast my burden on the Lord
And He shall sustain me
I will lay down and rest in His word
And in His presence I surely shall be

Cyclic And Self Referencing Chant of I
I sat alone on a perch of stone beneath the sun
And thought about I as my neck bent back
and pitched my head up toward the sky
It reflected me back down, down to the ground
As I reached out toward the sky In hopes
Of capturing that mythical pie
To do it now or surely die
I, thought about I beneath the sky
I sat alone on a perch of stone
forever now I have wished I could fly
I could try but surely die
try and surely die
And I sat alone on perch of stone
I sat alone
Having forgotten home
alone
I

Id rather be a sparrow than a snail.
Yes I would.
If I could,
I surely would.
Id rather be a hammer than a nail.

Away, Id rather sail away
Like a swan thats here and gone
A man grows older every day
It gives the world
Its saddest sound,
Its saddest sound.
Id rather be a forest than a street.
Yes I would.
If I could,
I surely would.
Id rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes I would.

Here Comes The Knight
On the road with my sword
And my shield in my hand
Pressing on to the new day
This love will surely last forever
This love will surely last always
In the valley I see horsemen pass
Baby, baby, baby they dont want this love to last
Theres a battle for the throne
And its raging down in your soul
It says this love will surely last forever
This love will surely last always
Bridge:
Ive been accused of truth and alchemy
Ive been accused of speaking out for freedom too
I gave a demonstration in front of a crowd
A man saw my hands move and he began to shout
Here come horsemen through the pass
They say cast a cold eye on life, on death
Theres a battle for the throne
And it means to thine own self be true
And it says this love will surely last forever
This love will surely last always

Slowly And Surely
slowly but surely
and surely is slow is
and slowly is surely is
a snail climbing its way
up riding upon the merits
of its saliva
slowly, slowly,
winning whining
whining winning
till all of them drop
dead and slowly but surely
does the snail take its pace
as the rabbit
watches upon the tease
of sleep

We Shall Surely Die
We shall surely die:
Must we needs grow old?
Grow old and cold,
And we know not why?
O, the By-and-By,
And the tale that’s told!
We shall surely die:
Must we needs grow old?
Grow old and sigh,
Grudge and withhold,
Resent and scold?…
Not you and I?
We shall surely die!

My Precious Bequeath!
Whatever has been done to my precious bequeath;
Indubitably 'neath the surface, I gander beneath! ?
My family I cherished so few weeks ago-
Now here an entity I could barely even know!
Mother has become her 12-year-old self-
Maternal nature surely...to a point, on the shelf!
What is being for all others affected?
Not to mention it is I who all has rejected!
Be so wherever you may surely want to be!
Surely too though not to forget...father...me!
Happiest of holidays surely I have not had!
To be sure, for some time...without family...I will be sad!
Always, my love for thee, grows ever more deep;
Then too, always my price...ever so steep!

Reflected
Look upstanding with your head held high
You will be reflected
You looK outstanding with your eyes in disguise
Just beyond your glasses
Holy, how he would keep, it's devine
I'm surely glad, I'm surely over town
And even though I'm you will always here
Very rarely worry almost constantly
Could you be receptive
Our life's outstanding in a shower please
Wet my skins a plenty
Baby, what a day I love our town
I'm surely glad, I'm surely all around
And even since I knew it all so clear
You will be reflected
You will be reflected
You will be reflected
You will be reflected, reflected

Just A Little Bit Of You
Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctor away
Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctor away
I told my mama how I feel about your power
Your love can heal, cant no doctors remedy
Ever do what you do for me
Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctor away
Eeny weeny teeny bit of your love
Baby its all I need, its all I need
Since the day Ive been loving you
I cant catch a cold, I cant catch the flu
The sweet loving youve been giving me
Has become my daily need
Just a little o your love, every day
Its all I need, thats all I need
Just a little bit baby
Thats all I need, thats all I need
So dont send no doctor to my door
cause doctor john been here before
Dont you send him, just come yourself
Bring your loving and nothing else
Ooh just a, just a,
Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctor away
Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctor away

When I Reach The Place Im Goin
When I reach the place Im goin? br> I will surely know my way
And I will turn and look inside me
And bid farewell to one more day
Every light begins with darkness
Every flower is once a seed
And with the sun and wind to test us
We are bound to be released
I will fly beyond this valley
I will open up the gate
And when I reach the place Im goin? br> I will surely know my way
We have hands to hold our sorrow
We have tears to heal the pain
And though your eyes ask many questions
On your lips I hear my name
I was born without a whisper
I was born beneath the rain
But when I reach the place Im goin? br> I will surely know my way
I will surely know my way

Tristessa
pledged your faith
my heart embraced
struggle to renew
blurry mind
so hypnotized
fast enough who
wonder where you are
tristessa
soul takes soul
as i take eye
i will wait for you
what you believe
you'll wish to receive
i won't believe in you
hang on to your life
tristessa
i love you true
surely i do
i love you true
surely i do
surely i do
surely i do (no)
do you ever wake up and find yourself alone?
do you ever wake up far from home?
what you believe
you'll wish to receive
i won't believe in you

Dreams
SURELY I heard a voice-surely my name
Was breathed in tones familiar to my heart!
I listened-and the low wind stealing came,
In darkness and in silence to depart.
Surely I saw a form, a proud bright form,
Standing beside my couch! I raised mine eyes:
'Twas but a dim cloud, herald of a storm,
That floated through the grey and twilight skies.
Surely the brightness of the summer hour
Hath suddenly burst upon the circling gloom!
I dream; 'twas but the perfume of a flower,
Which the breeze wafted through the silent room.
Surely a hand clasped mine with greetings fond!
A name is murmured by my lips with pain;
Woe for that sound-woe for love's broken bond.
I start-I wake-I am alone again!

You're Not Alone
In a way, it's all a matter of time
I will not worry for you, You'll be just fine
Take my thoughts with you, and when you look behind
You will surely see a face that you recognize
You're not alone, I'll wait till the end of time
Open your mind, Surely it's plain to see
You're not alone, I'll wait till the end of time for you
Open your mind, Surely there's time to be with me
It is the distance, that makes life a little hard
Two minds that once were close, Now so many miles apart
I will not falter though, I'll hold on till you're home
Safely back where you belong, And see how our love has grown
You're not alone, I'll wait till the end of time
Open your mind, Surely it's plain to see
You're not alone, I'll wait till the end of time for you
Open your mind, Surely there's time to be with me

Toy Soldiers Leaden Eyed - Acrostic Mata Hari
TOY SOLDIERS LEADEN EYED
My life foams fast, spurts sudden surge,
Appraise past fancy, sullen urge,
Then see toy soldiers leaden eyed
Attest failed flight, time, grace denied.
Here at my post I’m posted, tied,
And no-one dares to act as guide.
Right, tight, where Hell’s four streams converge:
I stand and wait... serve on lead’s purge!

Toy Soldiers Leaden Eyed
My life foamed fast, in sudden surge,
All passing fancies, sullen urge, -
The child’s toy soldiers, leaden eyed,
Attest failed flight which Time defied.
Here at my post I’m posted, tied,
And none now dares to be my guide.
Right, tight, where Hell’s four streams converge:
I wait awhile, .............. how lead does purge!
