Red rocking horses
We played capture the banner
I’ll rock you in my arms, And kiss you
when the war is over
We had a dream in color
It was a dream of peace time
And when the battles over
I’ll have a coffee with a soldier
So lets go home to Russia
Yes lets go home to lovers
Cause no one wins when brothers
Slaughter brother Slaughter brother

Turning the page on the day as it goes
Goes away to another place
A man in a hat sys it’s a wrap
But the man in the booth doesn’t know
Trying to find, trying to workout
The name of this play but I can’t figure it out
The place where the day goes, I don’t know
And The man in a hat falls down a hole
…gathering winds
blow me across a great plane
I fly by night …I Fly In a plane…a great plane.
Turning the page on a new play..
that goesTo another place…
But the man in the booth says its a wrap
And the man in a hat falls down a hol
…gathering winds
blow me across a great plane
I fly by night …I Fly In a plane…a great plane.

What is what / what do I see
The clock comes around / and back to me
Lost and found, tears and smiles
What do I find / a beer with a pal
Time goes by / I buy a harmonica
I’ll play it for you / for you I have time
Sing with me / you’l pay the keys
We’ll whisper love songs / for boys and girls
Radio songs / songs on the radio
I’ll sing with you / you play the keys
Well whisper love songs / for boys and girls
I’ll meet you tonight/ we’ll have a beer

I met you, at the zoo .
we walked around and met the animals.
You were cute, in your jump suit.
We ate pop -corn over by the penguins.
The penguins, are fun,
but no body likes being locked up
I’m just sayin There’s a blue sky,
And the birds are fee to laugh or cry.
….Walk softly with a big bat.
Umbrellas keep the rain away.
Dark sky’s bring showers
But darling kiss me in the rain.
We walked down I town
I looked cute, in my corduroy.
sute and hat.
and the sky was blue, yes the sky was blue
I met you, at the zoo .
we walked around and met the animals.
You were cute, in your jump suit.
We ate pop -corn over by the penguins.
….Walk softly with a big bat.
Umbrellas keep the rain away.
Dark sky’s bring showers
But darling kiss me in the rain.

A WINTER'S TALE

A winters tale. I saw him there.
A boy is walking on the beach.
A Winter wind is on my face.
I look away, a distant dream.
And starlings dance above the lake.
I walk in silence, and a gull cries.and a gull cries.
A man is dancing in the pavilion ,
That man is dancing with his children
Smiling father. Laughing children
The sun comes up on the pavilion
A winter wind is on my face
On the beach …A boy waits
Children dancing on the beach
On the beach a boy is singing
Rock or ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
On my face a Winter breeze
I look away, a distant dream
