taken at Barrio Brewing here in tucson….as karma would have it i was born with a genetic trait from my mothers side…allergy to ALL alcohol! not even a cold beer in summer!!

if truth be known it has been a blessing, i have seen to many fine people succumb to addictions, including my father.

Once There Was A Way…

142.365

… to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

The Night Before

141.365

We said our goodbyes, ah, the night before.
Love was in your eyes, ah, the night before.
Now today I find you have changed your mind.
Treat me like you did the night before.

Were you telling lies, ah, the night before?
Was I so unwise, ah, the night before?
When I held you near you were so sincere.
Treat me like you did the night before.

Last night is a night I will remember you by.
When I think of things we did it makes me wanna cry.

We said our goodbye, ah, the night before.
Love was in your eyes, ah, the night before.
Now today I find you have changed your mind.
Treat me like you did the night before.

When I held you near you were so sincere.
Treat me like you did the night before.

Last night is a night I will remember you by.
When I think of things we did it makes me wanna cry.

Were you telling lies, ah, the night before?
Was I so unwise, ah, the night before?
When I held you near you were so sincere.
Treat me like you did the night before,
like the night before.

Stages of the Path

“This human life with all its freedoms,

Extremely rare , with so much meaning;

O Bless me with this understanding

All day and night to seize its essence.”

This Boy

138.365

That boy took my love away.
He’ll regret it someday,
But this boy wants you back again.

That boy isn’t good for you.
Though he may want you too,
This boy wants you back again.

Oh, and this boy
Would be happy
Just to love you,
But oh, my, that boy
Won’t be happy
‘Til he’s seen you cry.

This boy wouldn’t mind the pain;
Would always feel the same
If this boy gets you back again.

This boy.

Devil In Her Heart

137.365

She’s got the devil in her heart
But her eyes they tantalize
She’s gonna tear your heart apart
Oh her lips are really thrilling

I’ll take my chances
for romance is
So important to me
She’ll never hurt me
She won’t desert me
She’s an angel sent to me

She’s got the devil in her heart
No, no, this I can’t believe
She’s gonna tear your heart apart
No, no nay will she deceive

I can’t believe that she’ll ever ever go
Not when she hugs and says she loves me so
She’ll never hurt em
She won’t desert me
Listen can’t you see

She’s got the devil in her heart
Oh, no, no, no, this I can’t believe
She’s gonna tear your heart apart
No no nay will she deceive

Don’t take chances if your romance is
So important to you
She’ll never hurt me
She won’t desert me
She’s an angel sent to me

She’s got the devil in her heart
Oh, no, no, no, no this I can’t believe
She’s gonna tear your heart apart
No, no nay will she deceive

She’s got the devil in her heart
No she’s an angel sent to me
She’s got the devil in her heart
No she’s an angel sent to me

Holding Back The Years

136.365

Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I’ve had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that’s gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later

Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I’ve known
Holding back the tears
Cause nothing here has grown
I’ve wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could yeah

I’ll keep holding on
I’ll keep holding on
I’ll keep holding on
I’ll keep holding on
So tight

I’ve wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Cause nothing ever could oh yeah

I’ll keep holding on
I’ll keep holding on
I’ll keep holding on
I’ll keep holding on
Holding, holding, holding

That’s all I have today
It’s all I have to say

lyrics by Simply Red
