A summer Saturday On the road with my thump Hoping for no bumps on my road Just my towel and bathing suit Looking to go Jones's Where the sand is long and hot That West End 2 Waves to play all day Across this island paradise Offering a sweet summer swim Deep in a flux of ocean rays The tide is out The day is gone Eyes billowing sea salt On that road again, my thump Got this burn happening While the Atlantic oceans waves Across this island paradise So I say, I need wheels To tour my island paradise 1 11 2018

The Ocean
I can dress you up You can let me down I Love you even more You can even do less I'll still hold your door I'll still carry your bags I can dress you up You can never let me down I know my heart melted When you stole me whole To hid my love away Just to let me down I'll always dress you up I'll still melt for you I'll hold your heart I'll carry your love But honey, just don't let me down. 8 4 16

Let me Down
Little Boys, they play all day Little Boys, don't need no toys Scruff and ***** little boys Sneakers and shorts, little boys Playing with sticks and stones Finding spiders and snakes Taking a mud dirt swim In search of ponds and streams Little Boys, don't need no toys Little Boys, they do have toys Sticks and stones, spiders and snakes. Playing all day to starlight No concern behind their sight In search of the unknown Little Boys, look out Finding my own ponds and streams.

Little Boys
I was A Dainty Boy In all my robes In all my jewels Colf stick at my side My youth was coursed by elders Knowing my place And places to come Served by servants Protected by walls Groomed by power, for power I was A Dainty Boy In todays society Enriched by others labor No sense of hunger My youth set above, the lesser set Still my place. And places to come Unknown in today world, tomorrow Today's world is only today Stars and the sun are tomorrow I am The Dainty Boy In all my wealth, and glory Yet I'm still just a youth Will I see the stars and the sun, Will I see tomorrow 6 12 16 Based on a painting, Adriaen, 1603, by van Der Linde

A Dainty Boy
So I brushed my teeth Put the part in my hair And shined that Apple Ready as ever my teacher So I got dressed With new threads on As I tied my shoes Ready for teachers rules So I look so good Cause I know I'm cool Yet I know I'm bad Ready as an Eddie Haskel So I ask the bus driver "What holds the bus together?" "The nut behind the wheel!" Ready as an Eddie Haskel So the teacher gets the apple Spitballs and passed notes Knowing I look so good I'm just an innocent 6 year old boy!!

Oh Sweet Lord Born in humble glory A new world saving Shepherds guide the way Our Sweet Lord Land beyond holds your fate Curved by nature's grace Topped by man's hand Please Sweet Lord Forgive our blindness Bless us to see A baby to heal us You Sweet Lord The shelter of life The nature of time The Shepherd guides us My Sweet Lord Shepherd my life Guide the way Out of the blindness 6 12 16 Dennis Faulk

Sweet Lord
There is a Man With his world, his wife Transported by wheels Fueled by love A world unknown By gods design Laugh or cry Smiles are a Motown beat There lives a Man Along with his love Transported by wheels Fueled by love In a world unknown To let you and me Know Life is a complex love Hearts bound in pride Two hearts rolling as one Fueled by love Transported by wheels Fueled by love Dennis Faulk 7 26 16

A Man and His Wife
Why she loves me? Why she cares for me? With my shortcomings With my faults The Evening Sky dressed in golden hues. Rolling across a pressed red horizon A dance of beauty behold Gave promise  To tomorrow Why does she love thee ? She is my Evening Sky! Giving me promise for tomorrow With all my sins Why does she care for me? My Evening Sky glows in her eyes! As I dance with her beauty She gives me tomorrow promises She is my Evening Sky Dressed in golden hues I dance with beauty For tomorrow promises Dennis Faulk Started 9 19 15 Finished 2017

Evening Sky
Something special bout this bridge As the day's Sun rest west Something special crossing that bridge As the day's sky glowed red Church steeples guiding the way Chasing my fears away Chasing sunsets across that bridge That old Susquehanna River Crossing her west at sunset Church steeples chasing my fears away. To bring me home. Dennis Faulk 11 13 16

The Bridge
In Dutch time His time so taken With dress and pleasure Courting his society In a Dutch courtyard Pieter has no time In Dutch time Only his bottle Only his friend In his Dutch courtyard Only last so long sixteen Delight be taken When his pipe flows To a filled glass Only in a Dutch courtyard His clothes so defined In his ruff With capotain brimming Only his bottle, Only his friend Only time in a Dutch Courtyard Dennis Faulk 6 18 16
