sunshine voice gold
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come through the music Would you hold it near as it were your own?
blind crippled
Crippled but free, I was blind all the time I was learning to see.
yellow blue sky
The sky was yellow and the sun was blue...
circles darkness lovers
Outside major darkness where the circle is complete there's no fear that lovers born will ever fail to meet
jewels gold pay
I won't slave for beggar's pay, likewise gold and jewels, but I would slave to learn the way, to sink your ship of fools.
dream song fall
When it seems like the night will last forever, And there's nothing left to do but count the years, When the strings of my harp to sever, And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears... I will walk alone by the black muddy river, And dream me a dream of my own, I will walk alone by the black muddy river, And sing me a song of my own.
dream without-love
Without love in a dream it will never come true
couple infection nurses request soon spinal touch
I got really, really sick with a spinal infection that put me in a hospital for a couple of months, and it was touch and go. I had my guitar with me, and as soon as I got well enough to play, there was nothing else to do in that hospital. The nurses would come in and request songs.
