Bind Up My Life
Mama Earth Days

Ferryman

Let me be a ferryman
In this funny little world
And ferry to and fro to thee
In this funny little world
Let me sit me down by a riverside
And call this place a home
And smile to thee,
For the sycamore tree
And for no more to roam
Sisters of Passchendaele

Sisters of Passchendaele
Too weary to weep
For the dead and the dying
In the mud six foot deep

You try to remember
A happier day
When lovers came calling
Before the big fray

Close your eyes my dears
And a glimpse you will see
Of the sunnier  times
Before Yet to Be

Yes he pulls you now closely
And into your ear
Pours softly sweet sonnets
For your heart to hear

But you can no longer hear them
And it causes you pain
They lie lost in the mud
With the blood and the rain

Oh Sisters of Passchendaele
Too tired to sleep

Sisters of Passchendaele,
Too weary to weep
For the dead and the dying
In the mud six foot deep

You try to remember
A happier day
When lovers came calling
Before the big fray

Close your eyes my dears
And a glimpse you will see
Of the sunnier  times
Before Yet to Be

Yes he pulls you now closely
And into your ear
Pours softly sweet sonnets
For your heart to hear

But you can no longer hear them
And it causes you pain
They lie lost in the mud
With the blood and the rain

Scented Fans


The revelers all were reveling
Flagons in their hands
And, ooooh the lovely ladies
Behind their scented fans�.

Of lavender and incense,
And perhaps some lemon thyme
And there you were
My darling girl,
My darling Clementine�

They�ll make a fool of you,
You know,
In a stupid song of longing;
It�s all about the girl they knew,
While in their flagons, yawning�.

But I knew a chestnut crested girl
And the smell of hay and horses;
We heard them stomping in the cold,
As we, by the fire, warming;
Each ember cast an amber light,
And in your eyes, were glowing,
And we were all alone��
Humming Bird


I am the heart of a humming bird
Beating�.
You are the longing within,
In the early morning wet
When the earth sends out her scent
Drawing me to your Star of Egypt
Red star of the morning
Hidden among the calla lilies,
Trumpets for the dawning
Let me drink you in
Let me savor you with my tongue
Let me satisfy this endless thirst within�.
