Beautiful

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

Don’t look at me.

Every day is so wonderful
and suddenly, it’s hard to breathe
now and then, I get insecure
from all the fame, I’m so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
yes, words can’t bring me down
so don’t...

DAISY SUMMER PIPER

Friday, July 1st, 2011

Come and take me by the hand
There’s so much to be seen
The fields are dancing daisy bright
Hills are dappled green

Winter wind has ceased her labor
Giving birth to blossom rain as sweet as rain
And maybe you will fall in love
And maybe you’ll be mine

Daisy summer pipers come to town
Piping people out...

THE BEAT OF BLACK WINGS

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

words and music by Joni Mitchell

I met a young soldier
He said his name was Killer Kyle
He was shakin’ all over
Like a night-frightened child
This is his story
It’s a tough one for me to sing
Hard as the squawk and the flap
And the beat of–the beat of black wings

"They gave me a gun,"...

STORMY WEATHER

Friday, February 11th, 2011

Don’t know why
There’s no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps rainin’ all of the time

Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can’t get my poor self together
I’m weary all the time
All the time

So weary all of...

BE COOL

Friday, August 20th, 2010

If there’s one rule to this game
Everybody’s gonna name
It’s, be cool!
If you’re worried or uncertain
If your feelings are hurtin’
You’re a fool if you can’t keep cool
Charm ‘em
Don’t alarm ‘em
Keep things light
Keep your worries out of sight
And play it...

RIVER

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don’t snow here
It stays pretty green
I’m going to make a lot of money
Then I’m going to quit this crazy scene

Conversation

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

He comes for conversation
I comfort him sometimes
Comfort and consultation
He knows that’s what he’ll find
I bring him apples and cheeses
He brings me songs to play
He sees me when he pleases
I see him in cafes
And I only say, hello
And turn away before his lady knows
How much I want to see him
She...

Cactus Tree

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

There’s a man whose been out sailing,
in a decade full of dreams.
And he takes her to a schooner,
and he treats her like a queen.
Baron Dean’s from California,
with their amber stones and green.
He has called her from the harbor,
he has kissed her with his freedom,
he has heard her off to starboard
in...
