Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth

You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette

The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget

Ohhh how how how, youre a rock n roll suicide

-David Bowie

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

 

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

 

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking

And racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

 

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way

The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

 

Home, home again

I like to be here when I can

And when I come home cold and tired

Its good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away across the field

The tolling of the iron bell

Calls the faithful to their knees

To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

 

- Mason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour

Thanks Kwakatak, the best song off the best rock and roll album of all time.

 

Run, Rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun

and when at last the work is done,

don't sit down it's time to dig another one.

Kind of a stretch maybe, but it's in there....

 

 

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood

When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud

I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.

"Come in," she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

 

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured

I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word

In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.

"Come in," she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

 

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved

Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.

Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.

"Come in," she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

 

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,

Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,

Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.

"Come in," she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

 

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there

With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.

She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.

"Come in," she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

 

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost

I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.

Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.

"Come in," she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

 

Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount

But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts

And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.

"Come in," she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

 

I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove

And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.

Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?

"Come in," she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

 

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes

I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose.

I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.

"Come in," she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

 

Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line

Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.

If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.

"Come in," she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

The past is much to heavy for me to carry

If I hold on to it for too long

You know it will crush me

 

The future is far to fragile for me to worry

If I hold on to it for too long

You know it will rush me

 

Right now is where you live

Right now is where I want to be.

 

from Phil Keaggy's Dream Again CD

thank you for today - music PK, lyrics Todd Albertson

Your day breaks, Your mind aches

You know there'll come a time

When every thing she's said will fill your head,

You won't forget her

 

Lennon & McCartney

 

Time, time, time for the gunner in the war

Time stands still for Roland 'till he evens up the score

You can still see his headless body stalking through the night

In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

 

Warren Zevon
