circle slowly JFK, <br />
so much there to see inside of a week they came looking for something new <br />
try to press it flat inside of a few days Old Dominion Saturday, <br />
Arlington's eternal flame Sunday tour Niagara Falls in the mist. <br />
Monday I'll be heading south New Orleans the Cajun sound <br />
Tuesday's Tupelo Elvis's home . . . <br />
try to press it flat inside of a few days what a wonderful stay, <br />
on a mule Grand Canyon ride on Wednesday, <br />
hope to get to Denver in a day Friday ride to Washington, <br />
in the glacial mountain sun hop a train for Canada <br />

Eager to please was just the way <br />
that he was though his attempts there falling short, <br />
expectation see he would tell of all his conquests, was he bragging? <br />
but in the evening all alone Ellen unplanned delays saving for someone <br />
who really cared about you invincible <br />
they say married to your name she was the kind between a child and a lady, <br />
quick was her temper like a blaze from an ember no one had measured <br />
to her standard, so in the evening all alone all alone how do I tell them <br />
to open their minds and to take a chance maybe on finding <br />
life's treasure stubborn they stay set in their ways really not wanting <br />

but these complications now make life a bit uneasy hallowed buildings scrape <br />
the sky voices ride the airwaves once a city years gone <br />
by will they still be standing in the centuries ahead going <br />
underground little children hiding, <br />
bullets never meant for them must there be such bloodshed in our hearts, <br />
our homes, our heads? will I be walking, walking so free? <br />
this was a city once this was once a city harmony a common theme <br />

looking back at me back through the foggy window <br />
on and on miles pass years turn over <br />
on and on there from that rolled down window ponies run free <br />
cradled protectively there in the greenery somewhere I keep this picture <br />
on and on miles pass years turn over <br />
on and on for all the roads we've travelled <br />
and all the bridges burned I was thinking out loud the ways <br />
of the world that all seem so constant how few <br />
of the lessons we really have learned. <br />
out through the foggy window frozen in frame capturing passing pictures <br />
life's last refrain, memories ashes scatter <br />

at my legs drunk and giddy full of fate at the cabaret smokey stares <br />
from the bar do stray bottles tumble I feel the misty spray what a perfect, <br />
perfect day for the cabaret from afar he sees Venus rise <br />
overwhelmingly beautiful he sighs the look of love was in her eyes <br />
puts his hand upon her leg looking closer his lust begins to fade "what a drag,<br />
" the queen did say. could this be a dream I'm in? <br />
Fellini would be proud. gluttony enfolds the scene "give them one last round" <br />
shining faces dance away swinging skirts between the panted legs <br />

what you left me out there in the cold days fading away <br />
I see you so near I hear your voice calling <br />
it calls me from these pages to you beyond the blue, <br />
so sudden too soon the secrets we knew <br />
I was thinking today if you would surrender to feelings <br />
that you tried deserting and if given the choice <br />
I'd still wait for the moment still wait for the moment <br />
when I could have a hero like you days fading away <br />
but I see you so clear I hear your voice calling <br />

when the valley is shrouded in snow, <br />
when you're feeling that hope somewhere vanished <br />
and there's no poetry left to console you, <br />
with the smallest step you'll find a way oh of fate borne <br />
and life is a jewel but stone will tarnish as dust will descend take a minute <br />
and wipe free the lustre, <br />
it'll mirror a day without end with the smallest step you'll feel <br />
it starts a journey your way. <br />
oh they tried to tell me but I'll learn for myself <br />
and when they tried to tell me you know the words disappeared <br />
on the wind I was running away <br />
and when the laughter echoes through you in a pale beaming ray <br />
and you'll know always and ever within you anywaydiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10048419105849687910noreply@blogger.com0
