I'm Off

[Arden]

Blue Sky
Allman Brothers


Walk along a river, sweet lullaby,
It just keep on flowin,
It don't worry 'bout where it's goin, no, no.

Don't fly, Mr. Bluebird,
I'm just walking down the road.
Early morning sunshine tells me all I need to know.

You're my Blue Sky, you're my Sunny Day.
Lord, you know it makes me high,
when you turn your love my way.
Turn your love my way, yeah.

Good ol' Sunday morning,
Bells are ringing everywhere,
Goin' to Carolina, it won't be long and I'll be there.

You're my Blue Sky, you're my Sunny Day.
Lord, you know it makes me high,
when you turn your love my way.
Turn your love my way, yeah

two years ago today... a heartfelt letter, a box and tears of joy...

Footsteps

if only Your name i could write upon the wind
the heavens would echo, in melodic refrain
as two hearts beat in true waltz time
and synchronized footsteps, closely guided,
paint an indelible sequence of passion
across the secret landscape of Our souls

~ Your Arden

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.

thoughts of You explode
like impossibly bright
and beautiful fireworks

So take your place here next to me
And I'll take my place there next to thee
And no matter how far we may roam
Its by your side I make my home

I give to you my everything
You’ve given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
to hear me sing my love out loud

tramps like Us...

Born To Run
Bruce Springsteen

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway american dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
Its a death trap, its a suicide rap
We gotta get out while were young
`cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
Well run till we drop, baby well never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
`cause baby Im just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild, girl I want to know if love is real

Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss

The highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybodys out on the run tonight but theres no place left to hide
Together wendy well live with the sadness
Ill love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I dont know when were gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and well walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run

 

[Arden]

Every Morning
Keb' Mo'

Every mornin', every evenin', every day I, I think of you
The way you love me, through and through

When I'm with you, it feels like heaven
You're an angel, holdin' me
Your sweet, sweet lovin', it sets me free

And in my wildest, imagination,
I could never, imagine you
Lovin' me as much as, as I do love you

And it may be winter, it may be fall
I might have plenty, or nothin' at all
But baby I'll be there, whenever you call, ever you call

'Cause every mornin', and every evenin', every day I, I think of you
The way you love me, through and through
The way you love me, through and through

dancing under the harvest moon~

http://www.hellblazer.com/media/harvest-moon.jpg

Harvest Moon
Neil Young

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin
We could dream this night away.

But theres a full moon risin
Lets go dancin in the light
We know where the musics playin
Lets go out and feel the night.

Because Im still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because Im still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.

But now its gettin late
And the moon is climbin high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin in your eye.

Because Im still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because Im still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

I Burn For You
Sting

Now that I have found you
In the coolth of your evening smile
The shade of your parasol
And your love flows through me
Though I drink at your pool
I burn for you, I burn for
You and I are lovers
When night time folds around our bed
In peace we sleep entwined
And your love flows through me
Though an ocean soothes my head
I burn for you, I burn for
Stars will fall from dark skies
As ancient rocks are turning
Quiet fills the room
And your love flows through me
Though I lie here so still
I burn for you, I burn for you
I burn...

I Wanna Roo You
Van Morrison

Twenty-third of December
Covered in snow
You in the kitchen
With the lights way down low
I'm in the parlor playing my old guitar
Speaking to you, darling, to find out how you are
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight

Come to me softly
Come to me quiet
Know what I'm after
I'm gonna try it
Snowstorm's on the way and we'll be stranded for a week
Come over to the window, look outside take a peek
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight

You know I am lonely
And in need of your company
Oh, let your love light shine on down on me

And we can just sit here
Look at the fire
Watch the flames leaping higher and higher
Tea on the stove food in the pan
Ain't going nowhere and we don't have many plans
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight

And you know I am lonely
I been in need of your company
Let your love shine on down on me
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
Woo you tonight, pretty baby
Woo you tonight, little darling
Woo you tonight, alright
Woo you tonight

Unchained Melody
U2

Oh, oh my love
Oh my darling
Ive hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time

And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine

I need your love

I need your love
God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea

Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
Ill be coming home
Wait for me

Oh, oh my love
Oh my darling
Ive hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time

And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine

Tupelo Honey
Van Morrison, sung by Cassandra Wilson

You can take all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
He’s as sweet as tupelo honey
He’s an angel of the first degree
He’s as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You can’t stop us on the road to freedom
You can’t keep us ’cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
He’s as sweet as tupelo honey
He’s an angel of the first degree
He’s as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You can’t stop us on the road to freedom
You can’t stop us ’cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
He’s as sweet as tupelo honey
He’s an angel of the first degree
He’s as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

You know He’s alright
You know He’s alright with me
He’s alright, He’s alright (He’s an angel)

You can take all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because He’s as sweet as tupelo honey
He’s an angel of the first degree
He’s as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

He’s as sweet as tupelo honey
He’s an angel of the first degree
He’s as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee

good morning, my Sir~

Free In You
by Indigo Girls

A hard knock
A cold clock
Ticking off my time
A long look
But no luck
Couldn't seem to find
Or unwind
Into peace of mind
While I was trying

A quick glance
A big chance
My heart beat like a drum
I saw you
And I knew
Chances just don't come
Round again
Not like this
First a laugh
Then a kiss

And I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you

The lost time
And self pride
Are my big mistakes
A clear voice
A bad choice
Sounding like an ache
In my day
Not too bad
But too real
To go away

But now I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you

And I don't know
How you show
Such gentle disregard
For the ugly in me
That I see
That for so long
I took so hard
(I took so hard)
And I truly believe
(I truly believe)
That you see the best in me
(That you see the best in me)
I'm in love
We all love
And that thought
Sets me free

Free in you
Got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
Yes I'm free in you

JOLIE BLONDE
Traditional

Jolie Blonde, 'gardez donc, quoi t'as fait
Tu m'as quitte' pour t'en aller
Pour t'en aller avec un autre, oui, que moi
Quel espoir et quel av'nir mais moi je peux avoir?

Jolie blonde, tu m'as laisse' moi tout seul
Pour t'en aller chez ta famille
Si t'aurais pas ecoute' tous les conseils de les autres
Tu serais ici avec moi aujourd'hui.

Jolie blonde, tu croyais il y avait juste toi
Il y'a pas juste toi dans le pays pour moi aimer
Je va's trouver juste une autre jolie blonde
Bon Dieu sait, moi, j'aime tant.

Jolie blonde, mourir, ca serait pas rien
C'est de rester dans la terre aussi longtemps
Moi j'vois pas quoi faire si tu reviens pas, be'be'
T'en revenir avec moi dans la Louisiane.

Twilight
Tom Maxwell

Oh you come to me at twilight,
The soft summer breeze,
The sand, the waving hair.
But how am I to know?
This feeling has no name.

Each morning I dream of twilight,
And wait for your glow
Down where the moonflowers grow.
Far beneath the sea
Awaits a home for me.

"Bring Me Li'l Water Silvy"
(Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter)
Sweet Honey In The Rock

Bring me little water, Sylvie
Bring me little water now
Bring me little water, Sylvie
Every little once in a while

Don't you hear me callin'
Don't you hear me now
Don't you hear me callin'
Every little once in a while

Don't you see me comin'
Don't you see me now
Don't you see me comin'
Every little once in a while

~ i love you ~

http://artfiles.art.com/images/PRODUCTS/large/10262000/10262725.jpg

In my sky at twilight you are like a cloud
and your form and colour are the way I love them.
You are mine, mine, woman with sweet lips
and in your life my infinite dreams live.

The lamp of my soul dyes your feet,
the sour wine is sweeter on your lips,
oh reaper of my evening song,
how solitary dreams believe you to be mine!

You are mine, mine, I go shouting it to the afternoon's
wind, and the wind hauls on my widowed voice.
Huntress of the depth of my eyes, your plunder
stills your nocturnal regard as though it were water.

You are taken in the net of my music, my love,
and my nets of music are wide as the sky.
My soul is born on the shore of your eyes of mourning.
In your eyes of mourning the land of dreams begin.

Pablo Neruda


​

 

[Arden]

smiling at something from a while ago~

In your arms I am held captive
willing prisoner of your deepest desires
two hearts burning with such passion
bodies completely aching to feel
that most wondrous connection of all
as you look deep within my eyes
and slowly enter my innermost being
with that very part of you
that penetrates me to my very soul
how incredibly beautiful it is, my love
when we finally become
One

 

[Arden]

it won't be long...

Emily
(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)

Emily, take me 'cross the water home
Emily, look how much we have grown
Emily, I still remember the day
Waking up, chasing the shadows away
It won't be long 'til I see your face
Eyes as bright as the sun
It won't be far down this lonesome road
'Til I see you again

Emily, run so fast through the fields
Make believe, all our dreams were so real
It won't be long 'til I see you smile
Turning my night into day
It won't be far down this lonely way
'Til I can hold you again

Emily we can hide, hide from them all
Emily, they can't catch us
They can't catch us now
They can't catch us now
They can't catch us now


​

 

[Arden]

thank you~

You are taken in the net of my music, my love,
and my nets of music are wide as the sky.
My soul is born on the shore of your eyes of mourning.
In your eyes of mourning the land of dreams begin.
