American I only say what I want you to know / or think. / I am only as truthful as I find fit / or allow. / You don't know me outside and in / I'm an actor, a deceiver, / I'll turn you up down and up again.
Thought I left. No sounds were heard you heard the cricket but not the bird Was I gone so long? did you miss me my dear? I think you did, love. (that's what i hear ;) The road won't be easy walking once more perhaps some music therapy could put my feet on the floor Maybe it's lost a penny in the wood you think you could find it? (I bet that you could ;) There's only one G-d and one woman in my life inspire compose my savior (my w-fe? ;) Can't promise I'll stay any longer than before But what I can say is, I'm walking once more. (p.s. the last boat I boarded sorta sprung leaks and sank. but it's all been sorted, and there is an incredibly pretty girl out there to thank ;)

The Return
Take my saxophone Take my piano Take my guitar Take my mandolin Take my washboard Take my harmonica Take my sunglasses Take my hairbrush Take my Bible Take my clothes Take my trophies Take my baton Take my ballet shoes Take my cane Take my sword Take my monkey Take my collections Take my cat Take my house Take my memories Take my plans My, that was a heavy load. I feel so light.

Like A Feather
You can try to dodge the raindrops. If evasion is your intent, then dive right in. I won’t stop you, but I will tell you. Each raindrop you try to avoid finds its own special way of dampening your mood. That is, if you try to dodge the raindrops. You can try to true the lies If truth is you intent, then speak it. I won’t stop you, but I will tell you. Each lie you try to true finds its own special way of satisfying truths. That is, if you try to true the lies. You can try to touch the rainbow.. If feeling is your intent, then reach out. I won’t stop you, but I will tell you. Each rainbow you try to touch finds its own special way of keeping you on the move That is, if you try to touch the rainbow.

You can try to Dodge the Raindrops
I can take a great moment and tear it to shreds. I can consume an opportunity not even knowing it was there. I can dwell on a problem mindfully for days and make the wrong decision. I try to write something happy and I turn it upside down. I try to write a memoir and I write a poem.

Oh the Things I can Do
Expectations and accusations can fall away every time I play. this time, you can sit still and observe the sound of my thought. Whether you come through or not have it or don’t I imagine we all have our moment. You can only take it. That’s the choice.

The Great Escape
I only say what I want you to know or think. I am only as truthful as I find fit or allow You don’t know me Outside and In. I’m an Actor, a Deceiver. I’ll turn you up, down and up again.

Dylan and I
Whether you know what it means or not, you do it Whether you see it or not, it's there Whether you leave or not, it stays Whether you wake up or not, it happens Whether you make the time or not, it does Whether you feel it or not, it's touching Whether you know what it means Whether you see it Whether you leave Whether you wake up Whether you make the time Whether you feel it or not I love you.

It's not me, it's you
is just another word for control freak. But let me back up. Who decided that things are FTW? **** competition. I apologize for line 4, but I wanted to make sure you know I’m being serious. Winning is meaningless. The one thing the Arts had going for them is gone. It’s all about being the best and it’s devastating G-d. When I play my saxophone at the right time with right mind I swear John Coltrane couldn’t recreate that. When I write a poem about truth or of it I swear ee cummings couldn’t have written it. Expression is all that really matters, but only to me. The world doesn’t accept it, so it doesn’t accept me. That’s just the way it is. I’m not concerned with success. I’m not like all the rest. I am happy and blessed. Does my mind deceit me? We’ll see When I face Judge

Judge
You could be her. I could be him. You could be I and I could be him. You could be him and I would be I. You could be you and I could be her and you could be I and I could be you And him could be her and her could be him. Her could be I. I would be her you would be you and him could be him. Him could be me while I is you and her is her. Him could be her and you would be I. I would be you and her him again. But you are you. He is he. She is she. and I am I

I, She, He, You
You rent out my hand and abduct my mouth to force me to speak I will oppose You intoxicate my legs and hide away my feet while returning my debt and ***** me just so I may speak I oppose You embrace me in a tea room send me grape juice and give me a sentence only for me to speak I am opposing You amputate my brain so I may admit to my thought And play me a tape which is outgoing So I might decide to say of my needles and say so speaking I still oppose
