anyone can whistle

 I can slay a dragon

Any old week-
Easy.
What's hard is simple.
What's natural comes hard.
Maybe you could show me
How to let go,
Lower my guard,
Learn to be free.
Maybe if you whistle,
Whistle for me.

- Stephen Sondheim

wherever I go

 

There's a place in my heart
Though we're far apart
May you always know
No matter how long since I saw you
I'll keep a flame there for you

Wherever I go

Wherever I go - Mark Knopfler

    

the Most

 

 
Someday well I'll look back and wonder
Someday comes around quicker than they told you
Asking, "Did I do, what I was suppose to?"
In my life

Don't know why the little things make us and sometimes it takes us
Too damn long to figure out what matters the most...
My life is green grass through the snow
A sweet reckless hope
And, baby, I know what matters the most

-The Most- Lori McKenna

morningside

 

Don't want to waste what I have to give

In any of the time that I've got left
I can do more than I thought I could
Work brings more luck than knocking on wood
There's random bad and random good
Work brings more good luck

Better be off
I've got dreams to dream
Though it seems uphill and a little extreme
If I can find hope in this fading light
Then I'll find you on the morningside

-John Gorka

love is pleasing

 Oh love is pleasin' and love is teasin'

And love is a pleasure when first it's new
But as it grows older sure the love grows colder
And it fades away like the morning dew

And love and porter makes a young man older
And love and whiskey makes him old and grey
And what can't be cured love has to be endured love
And now I am bound for America

love is pleasing- the Dubliners

Movin On

 

And now you're gone, now you're gone
As if there ever was a you
Who held me dying, pulled me through
Who's moving on
who's kidding who

Who's moving on?
Who's kidding who?

    Leonard Cohen

Better Days

 I may never understand the full measure of a man

But this is what I'd tell him if he was here
Sometimes it feels like you're caught in a riptide
Pulling you out to a watery grave
Sometimes it feels like you've seen enough
It's all too much
You feel like giving up
Sometimes it feels like I'm stretched too thin
How does anyone win in this race that we're in
Sometimes the going gets pretty rough
But I'm hangin' tough
I'm not giving up on better days

I'm not giving up

"Better Days" -Noah Gunderson
