He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck
He'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck
His teeth were gone but what the heck
I thought that he walked on water
Said he was a cowboy when he was young
Could handle a rope and he was good with a gun
And my momma's daddy was his oldest son
And I thought that he walked on water
If the story is told only heaven knows
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo
And though his wings they were never seen
I thought that he walked on water
He tied a cord to the end of a map

He Walked On Water

He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck,
And hed sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck.
And his teeth were gone, but what the heck,
I thought that he walked on water.
He said he was a cowboy when he was young.
He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun.
And my mamas daddy was his oldest son,--
And I thought that he walked on water.
Chorus
If the storys told, only heaven knows.
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo.
And although his wings, they were never seen.
I thought that he walked on water.
Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop,
And said, son, heres a pony, keep her at a trot.
And Id ride in circles while he laughed alot.
Then Id flop down beside him.
And he was ninety years old in sixty-three
And I loved him and he loved me.
And lord, I cried the day he died,
cause I thought that he walked on water.
Chorus

I Walked And Walked

I walked and walked
And thought,
‘Maybe I'll find a poem in walking'
I walked and walked and walked-

No Poem.

But then I thought,
‘Maybe the walk is the poem'
All around me worlds of things
Green and bright,
A good day after all-

Maybe the walk is the poem

And the writing it down,
The stopping to listen.

Bottle Rockets

Thought that Id be strong enough for both of us
And you had given up
Is there anybody strong enough for you
She said shes scared of waking up
Shes realized its all been a mistake
She didnt have to be afraid
But you walked out on me
It doesnt really matter what you said
Cuz Ive tried
To turn this water into wine
It doesnt have to be so hard to understand
The things that we should do
I know I made it difficult for you
She said I couldnt give enough
To make her feel the way she wanted to
This doesnt have to be so hard
But you walked out on me
It doesnt really matter what you said
And I tried
To turn this water into wine
It takes time
Its not that way
T here are several different answers here
But you just walked away

Toes

The current is strong from what I've heard
It'll whisk you down the stream
But I never seem to have the time
So my toes just touch the water
So my toes just touch the water
Daydreamed on the bank again
I was swimming with the fish
And I thought this time that it may be true
But my toes just touched the water
But my toes just touched the water
But my toes just touched the water
Walked a mile just to find the edge
Some place low enough
To step right in
Now I'm here and I can't begin
To move
Walked a mile just to find the edge
Some place low enough
To step right in
Now I'm here and I can't begin
To move
That spoiled sun up over there
Always has to have its way
And now I know that the river's there to shelter me
But my toes just touch the water
But my toes just touch the water
But my toes just touch the water

They gave me the chaps and hat and everything. I looked like a real cowboy. I walked around the rodeo and thought, I am a real cowboy and thought everyone thought I was a real cowboy.

I Wasnt Ready

Last night I was in heaven today Im still on a cloud in his arms I was in
Heaven and I didnt know what it was all about when he walked out the hurt
Walked in I guess I wasnt ready for love
Last night I thought I was gain today I feel so ashamed if he only knew I need
Him again he would come and ease my pain when he walked out the hurt walked in
I guess I wasnt ready for love
He said that he loved me he told me hed protect me he told me he needed me but
I was to blind to see yeah I was to blind to see
Last night I was in heaven but it was hell when he walked out the hurt walked
In I guess that I wasnt ready for love
Wasnt ready wasnt ready

Little Cowboys Cry

(monte thomas)
Theres a little boy on his knees beside his bed
With a cowboy hat upon his bowed head
Tryin to keep the tears in his eyes
And his heart breaks as the little cowboy cries
As the cowboy cries
He says God forgive me please
I didnt want my daddy to leave
And I promise to be good this time
But his heart breaks as the little cowboy cries
Theres another heart in pain outside his door
His momma heard him cry as she walked the floor
Her love for his daddy has died
And her heart breaks as her little cowboy cries
As her cowboy cries
She says God forgive me please
I know I made him leave
But the pain will go away in time
But her heart breaks as her little cowboy cries
In a smoky little bar way downtown
His daddy is drinkin whiskey down
Tryin to kill the pain he feels inside
And his heart breaks as his little cowboy cries
And his cowboy cries
He says God forgive me please
I know I had to leave
Things havent been good for a long, long time
And his heart breaks as his little cowboy cries
As his cowboy cries
As his cowboy cries
As his cowboy cries
As his cowboy cries
As the cowboy cries
As the cowboy cries
As the cowboy cries
As the cowboy cries

Walking the river

You looked into the eye
of that white hot sun
and found something there
that spoke to your soul,
in your heart and mind
you heard a voice
and thought about the Creator
of the river, sun and sky
and left your car
at the river’s edge
and into the water you went.

That big black great loving dog
was with you
and it was just river and sun
and you walked on
into the water
over boulders, stumbling
over rocks
barefoot and naked
walked through pools
and felt like Eve
and for a time were free
from the burdens of life.

At first your hound
splashed out in front
but later like a shadow
was bound to you,
protecting, guarding
and caring
with wide open brown eyes,
sharp white fangs
and it didn’t understand
where you were going
but loved you more
than to bother about that
or food or heat.

At times it barked
and sometimes it growled,
but nobody dared to get near
and while the shadows draw out
you walked on
right into the night
looking up at the bright stars
and followed the full moon
rising up big and yellow
in that dark sky.

l’Envoi
You heard that river’s song
and just walked on
catching the splashing
and the murmur
over shelves of rock
into some ponds
and somehow during the next day
people found you
who had commonsense
and was sensible
and they helped you
and took care of your dog
and your feet were pierced,
had some blisters
and there were scratches
on your legs
and still the river flows
on to somewhere
and now you are back here.

Treading In His Footsteps

I heard Jesus say 'Come follow me'
and thought 'how close to Him can I be.'
So I decided in His footsteps to tread
to listen closely to all that He said.

So I walked as close as Enoch walked
and day by day we walked and talked.
Until there came that glorious day
when I had followed Him all the way.

All the way to heaven He had taken me
there to dwell with Him eternally.
Transforming me He'd taken me home
for so much like Him I had become.

Missing

The Missing Boy
The farmer boy had his knapsack on and walked from the inland,
he had not seen the ocean only knew about it as a dream he wanted
to be a part of. At every milestone a maid telling him to turn back
go tend his cows. When seeing the wondrous ocean he walked on it
towards the sinking sun as it painted the ocean glittering golden.
No one had told him it was not possible to walk on water; yet he did.
He had been observed a boy’s shimmer across the sea, many thought
they had seen an angel. Boats were looking for him with lanterns, and
sirens blared. Dawn, gleaming sun on blue sea and the boy was a ray
of sunlight.

Trapeze

can't believe she fell
the silence was unnerving
the crowd began to yell
was the thought of her returning
so you never knew him well
but you know what you've been seeing
these images of guilt
and the concrete in her hair
so far
these lions still need taming
its very sad very sad
no no
she fell very far very far
no no
for this cannonball this cannonball
as desperate as you felt
were you strong enough to leave him
oh you need to know him well
he's an angry acrobat
so you struggle with the will
with the will that you've been seeing
these images of guilt and the concrete in her hair
so far
these lions still need taming
its very sad very sad
no no
she fell very far very far
no no
for this cannonball this cannonball
and he walked away from
and he walked away from
and he walked away from
and he walked away from
and he walked away from
can't believe she fell
well it happened in a turning
struggle with the will but the thought
of this the thought of this

At magnolia dale

We walked laughing over the grass
while the dogs were running loose
and Kyla was swimming in the cool water.

On the riverbank Tinkie
sniffed on a few white flowers
and Jeanie walked from tree to tree

while Sasja barked at everybody around her
and rather silly followed Kyla splashing into the water
where like a lady Flippie paced off her steps.

Only Gator had to be kept on a leash
as he was like always out of control
and nobody could teach him any manners.

When you walked in my life...

When you walked in my life
You wiped my tears
When you walked in my life
You built my heart strong
When you walked in my life
You made my life precious
When you walked in my life
You taught me meaning of love
When you walked in my life
You showed me many things
When you walked in my life
You made my love grow for you
When you walked in my life
You told me how much I mean to you
When you walked in my life
You made your caring soul inside me
When you walked in my life
You gave me memories to cherish forever
And I will there for you till my eyes close dear

Why My Attire Gets Older?

Sitting at the banks of rivers,
looking at the water.
Their thought goes,
as the aimless water.

All of a sudden,
acquired this state.
Just had a nap,
nap of working tirelessly,
nap of fulfilling the duties,
wake up and find out,
the changed attire, wrinkled.

Look at the legs,
how many miles walked,
Look at the hands,
how much effort undertaken.
Can; t see the heart and the lungs,
damages can; t be ascertained,
with cataract and hearing aid.

Sitting at the fancy malls,
Looking at the young crowd,
thinking, if God makes,
the young age longer or
God can shorten the old age or,
a Child and then a youth,
Eternal youth..

Back up the Hill

As I walked down to the river today
I met a man with no legs in a chair
we spoke about life and he stood tall in a way
as I walked down to the river

As I walked on I met a blind girl
who gave me directions just over the hill
for someone like me who was lost she could see
as I walked on to the river

Down by the banks I met a small child
whose mother and father had recently died
and he splashed around with a heartful of life
down by the banks of the river

As I looked in the river I saw a young man
a reflection of me if you understand
who thought he would end it as he coudn't cope
as I looked into the river

Considering the people I met on the way
they didn't give up I heard myself say
and though I believed that I'd been through the mill
I laughed at the river, and walked back up the hill.

How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us

Blood from a stone, water from wine.
Born under earplay design.
A stroke of bad luck, wrong place, wrong time.
Let's fly up out of the lime.
The story is a sad one, told many times.
The story of my life in trying times.
Just add water, stir in lime.
How the west was won and where it got us.
Canary got trapped, the uranium mine.
A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died.
A marker to mark where my tears run dry.
I cross it, bless it, alkali.
The story is a sad one, told many times.
The story of my life in trying times.
Just add water, stir in lime.
How the west was won and where it got us.
I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain.
Now I can't see anything.
I made a mistake, chalked it up to design.
I cracked through time, space, Godless and dry.
I point my nose to the northern star,
Watch her decline from a hazy distance.
The story is a sad one, told many times.
The story of my life in trying times.
Just add water, stir in lime.
How the west was won and where it got us
