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

[metub4]

Then there is : Sam Stone
Dear Abby, Illegal Smile
Donald / Lydia

Please don't bury me
Grandpa was a carpenter
Big old goofy world

[Angharad]

This isn't old, but it feels like a classic...

our love is easy
water rushing over stones
like none i have known...

[metub4]

when I die and they
lay me to rest gonna go
to the place that's best

when I lay me down
to die I'm going up to
spirit in the sky

don't want a pickle
just ride my motorcycle
I don't want to die

[metub4]

used to be a lunatic
my aching heart bleeds

the language is leaving me
changes are shifting

[Angharad]

you light my dark side
you remain my power, my
pleasure, and my pain

[metub4]

[metub4]

oh riding down the highway
rockin down the road

[metub4]

Mick and the boys sing
can't always get what you want
you get what you need

[Angharad]

i get things cookin'
and grab 'em in the bicuits
do the humpty hump

[metub4]

humpty had big fall
too many hands on round mounds
he is now scrambled

[metub4]

I'm driving that train
high on cocaine Casey Jones
better watch your speed
