| LION OF MY HEART In the hour of shadows When the sun has run away And the moon has raised Her mournful head And the elves come out to play Celtic illuminations Find their place up in the sky Telling tales of conflagration In ancient days gone by That�s when I think of you My lion. Your heart, your soul your eyes In that hour of the shadows Before the stars begin to shine. |
| Mama Lion The sky in the morning Chalky gray wall. Pale daylight gloom It encompasses all Even the birds have a whine in their song A loud clap of thunder, Crack of lightening~ That�s what I long Something to break open This droning old shell Something to brighten This gloomy old hell Not living, just existing Is such a sad game. So hollow, so empty So limpid, so lame. I shout out to the heavens~ Mama Lion, a roar~ Just to feel the vague echo In my soul�s hollow core Then in a shrub Still damp with the wet A web full of diamonds! At last, I feel blessed |
| FACTORY TOWN The women in a factory town have hard faces old before their time There's a price to pay for $18.50 an hour and double time and a half on Sundays... The men in a factory town drive the company truck- Their wives drive the company van that has the company radio installed at cost- Its the way things are done in a factory gown- Do I sound condescending? No - I'm just an outsider My men were grocery men My women were telephone operators We fed our families on factory people. Forgive me if I wanted sweeter fare Its just the way things are done in a factory town. |
| SWEET SAMMY SUNSHINE AND LITTLE BOY BLUE Lijah sweet Lijah, My little boy blue So solemn and quiet In all that you do- I've seen that sweet grin In spite of yourself When no is looking You are my wealth. Sammy sweet Sammy All fire and speed, Giggles and knees And oh so much need. I've seen your heart break My bundle of joy. Then you mend it again My little blond boy. I've heard your laughter I've seen your tears I've cradled your hopes I've felt all your fears Know that I love you My little boys two Sweet Sammy Sunshine And Little Boy Blue |
