LYRICS
If the Beatles ain’t your bag
And ya need a bridge over the pass
Just gotta pray it won’t sag
Alas, don’t let me down

The Definitive Bob Dylan
Keith Richards Life
Neil Young Waging Heavy Peace
All You Need to Know About the Music Business

The meaning hangs on your wall
Like velocity multiplied times mass
Just gotta pray it won’t fall
Alas, hospital gown

Songwriting Along the Delaware River

LYRICS
The Delaware is running high
Thanks to the banks
For keeping us dry

While on the other side, the well runs dry
While where the well runs dry they cry,
“Is salvation hiding nearby?”

Flanks of the ranks
Make trying a try
While on the other side, Fat Cats — big, fat & wide

LYRICS
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech
When you start to wine, wail n’ preach
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech

Chorus
If you’re going to talk the talk
Better make sure you can walk the walk
To get what we teach to reach
(2) To get what we seek in deep
What we seek to sink in deep

Start to think I can see the kingdom come come
When we start to find, sail n’ then some
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come

LYRICS
I am reminded of all that’s been
No matter what I’ve seen
No need to forget
If you don’t regret
So long as you don’t regret
So long

You have rekindled all that can be
Far better than time’s lean
We can all ingest
’till the age is best
Sow long

Then we’ll reap, reap, reap
‘fore the reaper

LYRICS
If at first you need to look in
It’s time to lookout
Once you can start to begin
You’ll figure out what it’s about

Cherry blossoms
Spring springs
Gone are the winter doldrums
Things are happening

LYRICS
From here to there
Will the weather be fair
The path is clear
End moving ever nearer

The clouds roll loud
The rain reigns rain
Washing pride from proud
Pointing out the sane brain

Can we live
Our ability to give
Take on parade
Vulnerability we aid

LYRICS
Is your zept inept?
The Zept Department
Is apt to reconfigure it
The Zept Department
For reconfigurement

Turn it inside out
Reversible
Without a doubt
Turn it upside down
Remarkable!
Become renown

The zept leapt
A leap to the top of the heap
Time crept
A seep until asleep

Give your zept some pep
Perpetuate while they others slept
