Old tunes

[metub4]

Ready for a new one? May we try something different? I have been tripping of late through my old tunes and find many memories stirred through the process. They are coming out in my haikus. Loose rules here except for the 5-7-5 standard. Write a haiku about your favorite tune, capture favorite lines from your song, write about your favorite songwriter or however you choose to do it. You can tell what the song is if you like or have your friends guess. Let's have some fun here and bring back some of our favorite tunes. Might be a way of honoring our "heroes" of younger years. Below are a couple of haikus from our prior discussions as examples:

I talk to the wind
time to say goodbye my dear
the wind does not hear

(by Scott Williamson in 'Goodbye and Wind')

OR -

c'mon and touch me
can't you see I'm not afraid
c'mon touch me babe

[Angharad]

just ain't no sunshine
when he's gone...only darkness
this house ain't no home

[metub4]

classic from the heart

[Angharad]

i'm independent
i can take care of myself
but i still need you

i'll raise our son if
you'll teach him to be a man
fact is, we need you

[metub4]

Lord I need your smile
child like the one I once knew
made my grass green

and my blue skies blue
Lord was time when two was one
where've all good times gone

cry me a river
girl you are my riverboat
tears fallin like rain

oh how sweet the sound
I was once lost, now I'm found
was blind, but now see

bright shining the sun
no less days to sing God's praise
sing amazing grace

[metub4]

I remember when
and I was just about ten
mama plays guitar

the sky is crying
the tears rolling down the street
the sky is crying

my baby left me
I don't know the reason why
hate to see us part

[Angharad]

thanks to you, my love
there's something too good to miss
a reason to live

waiting for a train
thousand miles away from home
sleeping in the rain

moon and stars above
I'm on my way from Frisco
go to Dixieland

pocketbook is empty
and my heart is full of pain
waiting for a train

Okay, this is a little different, but it's a gospel song we sang at church a couple weeks ago that I continue to hum, sing, whistle & dance to.....

Cannot tell it all
Jesus, been so good to me
can-not / tell it / all!

[metub4]

gotta good reason
for taking the easy way out
she's a day tripper

make a devil out of me
got your spell on me
