Gray Beard Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Carry on my wayward son For there'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreamin', I can hear them say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Half a mile from the county fair, and the rain came pouring down Me and Billy were standing there, we had a silver half of crown Our arms are full of fishing rods, we had the tackle on our backs We just stood there getting wet, with our backs against the fence. Oh the water Oh the water Oh the water, I hope it don't rain all day It stoned me to my soul It stoned me just like jelly roll, Well it stoned me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I feed from the bottom, you feed from the top I live upon morsels you happen to drop And coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup If nothing comes down then I'm forced to swim up On the way upwards, the colors come back But all along the bottom is blue, grey, and black The darkness is cold and perception goes wrong And the night seems to go on incredibly long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 If you could read my mind, love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old time movie About a ghost from a wishing well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet You know that ghost is me And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost you can see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
