“My Soul Music‪”‬ Unknown

Written in the early 1990’s ~ performed live by Gabrielle Gerard and the Blind Venetians on the 24th street stage ~
I saw her face, I’ll never forget that face
Drifting off, Drifting off in the days
I’ll never forget, Never forget that face
The face that housed that soul, of Adrienne’s way
What she had to say I thought I’d never believe
What she had to say I thought I would never forgive
What she had to say I didn’t want to believe
Oh Adrienne’s way
I see her walk into the room and I turn and walk away
With my hands, With my hands over my ears
Then I turn to the window sit and wait, Watch her to return again Anticipating
What she had to say I thought I would never forgive (Oh Adrienne’s way)
What she had to say I thought I would never believe
Adrienne’s way
Adrienne’s way
I have one job here it’s to wake you up from your morbid dream
I’m gonna kick you all around, Kick you all around
I have one job here it’s to wake you up from your morbid dream
I’m gonna knock on your door–I’ll wait until I score
What she had to say I thought I would never forgive
I’d thought I’d never forgive
I thought I’d never forgive her
And finally I asked her in
So she took me out and walked to the sea
Drew circles in the sand and X’s on the land
We drank some wine, shared some bread
After awhile we rested
Drew circles in the sand and X’s on the land
She said, don’t go here don’t go there and everything will be alright
Don’t go here and don’t go there and everything will be alright
She kissed me and flew to the moon
Oh Adrienne’s day and Adrienne way
Adrienne’s day and Adrienne way
I waited in anticipation

You gotta take time to listen
To listen to your soul
To that place of darkness
That seems to never let go
I know the best I can offer
I know the best I can do
& it will always be changin’
The more I follow through
Have you your own best interst’
Before your Movin’ on
I know I’ve been re-arrangin’
My interests’
FINALLY CHANGIN’
I thank the forces above
For pushin’ me through and tappin’ my mind
Tappin’ my heart and Tappin’ my mind
Tappin’ my heart and Tappin’ my mind
Cycles Ring on and the pain it still remains
Frustrate your days with your
andictotes and diversions
Your grace of balance must be sustained
Take heed it’s your calling
There is no mercy
He asked the man at the door
is there any way out
He said even if you tried Life
would not deny you
The opportunity to defy yourself
Again and Again
Do you really want to go it’s not
time for you to end
Because
Cycles Ring on and the pain it still remains
Frustrate your days with your andictotes and diversions
Your grace of balance must be sustained
Take heed it’s your calling
There is no mercy
I thank the forces above
For pushin’ me through and tappin’ my mind
Tappin’ my heart and Tappin’ my mind
Tappin’ my heart and Tappin’ my mind
There is no Mercy
There is no Mercy
There is no Mercy
There is no Mercy

Erratic Stars
You only see the world at a glance
And you wake up in the morning
Do the same thing as every
other day
Where does the love come from
You only see the world at a glance
And you wake up in the morning
Do the same thing as every other day
Where does the love come from
I want to see the skies every moment I strive
Night fire sparks at the turn of dawn
And dance in wild spinnings with erratic stars
Dance in wild spinnings with erratic stars
My friends my friends
If where we are now
Is like rain felt in different grounds
Then melodies should ring in between
My friends my friends
Why won’t you come with me and save the world and rest awhile
Where does the love come from
I want to see the skies
Every moment I strive and
Night fire sparks at the turn of dawn
Dance in wild spinnings with erratic stars
And dance in wild spinnings with erratic stars
Tall mountain grass and honored I to be so surrounded by
Tall mountain grass and honored I to be so surrounded by

Pretty Child

London Bridges
One man says there ain’t no Jesus
The other man says there’s only one book
One guy says he just saw Elvis
The other guy wants to know where to look
Well I don’t know what you been told but I know what I’m feelin
Well I don’t know it’s kind of cold even though there is a global warmin’
Well I don’t know something is going down (on)
Three men on the T.V. couldn’t tell me what’s goin on
I don’t know we’re falling we’re falling
London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling down (me falling down)
One man says there’s a whole in the ozone
The other man says there ain’t no whole at all
One guy says you got to fight the powers of our destruction (no not again, not again no)
The other guy says their to tired to fight us at all
A year ago things were on a roll yeah you could see it
Well now I know something’s got to go, yeah you could feel it
Another stone another throw yeah were still healing
Another stone another throw
We’re falling ,
London Bridge is falling down ~ falling down
One man says there ain’t no Jesus
The other man says there’s only one book
One guy says he just saw Elvis
The other guy wants to know where to look
Ancient times are yielding their head
Will we make the same mistakes twice
The possibilities are many at hand, we know your choices afraid to command
They are on one side and we are on the other
And in between is a bridge that is falling
London Bridge is Falling down
Falling down
