Jacqueline( The Pages within)


 Where are You Going My Jacqueline?





Are you bound to the book and the pages within







Where have you been My Jacqueline? I think I saw you at the county fair.






 Browsing those Books while brushing your hair.








  Cinders is seeking her long lost shoe, and your unaware That I'm Missing You


.
 




Where do you go Jacqueline . When does the fantasy really begin







You seek adventure in your Head. Dreaming of Witches upon your Bed









Your soft brown hair Those eyes so Blue An English Rose scented and true






 
Where have you been Jacqueline? out with Jules Verne in his Time Machine








 
You disappear into a world unknown. Some wild place in the twilight zone.








Time travel Takes you away, to an alien planet on a perfect day.








The Silver Surfer and Fantastic Four have sailed you away from an Atlantic shore









Goblins and elves have lead you astray. A pleasure palace is where you will stay








Is it true lust or is it sin Where are you now My Jacqueline








A classic Film a long lost Scene, what are you watching Jacqueline







Pour water on my face to wake me or take me away into space








Lets sail away on a pirate ship lets drink from the Flask that lays on your Hip








Turn another page wipe away those tears, collect your thoughts and deal with your fears.








Feed Me Your love before Dawn. embrace  my Heart and Keep me warm








Include me in a chapter you wrote, wrap me in the feather of your Mystic Coat







We can be together on a cosmic plain just take me with you Jacqueline








Where are You Going Now Jacqueline Include me this time amid the pages within.







Hello again My Jacqueline. Enjoy another Book and the magic within.










Jac Jac Jacqueline

 Are you bound to the book and the pages within?

Cinders is still seeking her long lost shoe, and your still unaware That I'm Missing You.

Seasons


January Is long The new year so cold
No light ahead on a Rocky Mountain Road
February blinds us The sun so Low
Frosty Mornings playing out in the snow
March winds gather No moss
The festival over so counting your loss

Your looking forward to Midsummers Day
As April she dances herself into May
The Maypole The ribbon The sun coming thru.
The Green Fields of June, The fresh morning Dew

These are the Seasons we cherish and love
every one sent from The heavens above. 
Enjoy every one whether  Hot, Cold or Mild
From leaving the womb thru the eyes of a child.

July is Warm The sky so Blue
The coast lights so colorful the moonlit view
Wishing and hoping it stays  like this
A warm embrace and a Good night Kiss
The Front Porch swing The still of the night
The cold iced tea and  dancing to Dwight,

Music n Memories will keep us together
Whatever the season whatever the weather
Playing Country Love songs on acoustic Guitar.
Singing Karaoke in your favorite Bar.
August she reigns and Autumn will call.
September The Leaves turn gold and fall.
October brings Rain, November the same
December Brings Peace but with it the pain

These are the Seasons we cherish and love
every one sent from The heavens above. 
Enjoy every one whether  Hot, Cold or Mild
From leaving the womb thru the eyes of a child.

Jane and Jo


 You don't want to be somebodies Heartache






You don't want to be somebodies Queen








All you want is a Good Nights Sleep with the chance of a beautiful Dream








You don't want to talk over old times



 




You don't want to buy something new








You just wanna stand at the foot of the stairs to see Janie staring back at You.








You Don't need to share another Heartache







You don't want to seem unkind







You would just like to share a memory from the front of your precious mind.








You never meant to cause Me heartbreak







You didn't take my Heart in vain







I sense you beside me on long walks home Together Forever Never alone








I Know your beside me on the Midnight Train Your my Twin Your My Sister Jane








I don't want to be somebodies heartache








I don't want to be Somebodies Queen







All I wish for is to meet you again, The other half of my favorite team








Call to Joanne Shout out to Joe







Your the Angel with the after Glow








Call to Joanne shout out to Joe leave a stardust trail where ever you go








The Brightest star in a deep dark night







A shining Beacon A Ray of Light









You don't want to be somebodies heartache







But you maybe My Favorite Queen. 








You don't wish to climb or reach that summit








But somewhere safer in-between









You don't wanna be Somebodies heartache









You don't wanna be somebodies Queen









All you want is a good nights sleep and the chance of a beautiful Dream.

Old Times Good Times


 Its long past your Bed time and your still awake

You Blown out the candles on your Birthday Cake

Hard to believe  you got so old, sleeping under the stars, Staying out in the cold

Still sat  on the patio which faces the bay

We know where to find you on a summers day. 

You love to consume a cold beer or two, Walking the downs enjoying the view.

Many a year have passed you by. You learned to love and laughed till you cry

Your Kids have grown and long left home, The locals think that your all alone

But you have companions 3 four legged Friends

A Lurcher A Lab An Alsatian 

They keep you fit and young at heart, Pulling your arms out on the way to the park.

You set them free and off they run like sprinters after the starting gun

You whistle them back when your ready after heeding your call they come back steady

Life is for living and you know it for sure The welcome you get when the key meets the door

Your four legged friends are eager to greet, jumping for joy Its time to eat

Food disappears not touching the sides then sleeping it off until the sun rise

Each morning you wake come rain or shine Your invited for coffee but you decline

Gonna walk your dogs and get some fresh air after brushing their coats and removing dead hair

Plenty of time later for breakfast or brunch in the local tavern The Devils Punch

Since You retired not bothered with time and in no hurry to hear The Bells chime

Relaxed in mind body and soul, Off down the tavern to play rock n roll

A nap or snooze may be on the cards, A Game of Chess or maybe charades

Back down the lane Late afternoon While the Dogs are waiting You Whistle a tune

They hear your Heart beat From a Mile away, Up at the Window Looking over The Bay

Ready to run once more before dark. There favorite Place The local park

These days  are our best these days are pure fun, These days together forever as one.

Old times Good Times Together we run These Days Together Forever as One.

Old Times Good Times together as one Old times Good Times Forever we'll run.

Remember Those Days


 Keeping Warm on the late night Bus

Could be the same for everyone of us

Better to be safe than sorry my friend, keep to the straights you wont handle those bends.

Whatever happens from now on, wont be so good but wont last too long.

All the best days are in your past, Riding to win but now coming in last.

A warm summers day would not go amiss, A welcome hug and A good night kiss

Memories of You and I wont fade, Drinking cool Beer with iced Lemonade

A pebble beach or Golden sand, Walk the promenade while holding your hand

Candy Floss we bought at the Fair, That pretty ribbon in the back of your hair

No luck again in the penny arcade, Your parasol will give us some shade.

Remember the days of fun on the Pier, Comedians were funny Hear Hear Hear

Just been told that this is my stop, Gotta make my Bed outside by a Shop 

Been Homeless now 10 years or more, No money to burn, Am one of the poor 

I will wait it out endure my last days look for a break on window sill bay

Tonight again I will be on that bus with faded memories of the two of us

So drink up your shandy and eat ice cream,  I'll Fall asleep and enjoy the Dream.

So drink up your shandy and eat ice cream,  I'll Fall asleep and enjoy our Dream.

Remember those Days Remember those Days, Wheat fields to lye in The hot suns rays

Pray for me that I don't wake, Tomorrows a day that I cant take

I miss You I love You so so much. Your kiss Your scent and warm soft touch

Our anniversary will always be the day A yearly reminder of you taken away.

What did I do to deserve these tears. Its been too long too many years

See You soon My special Love, See you soon on a cloud above

Remember Remember Remember those days, The Yellow fields and Halcyon Days, Together forever just like the book says

Remember Forever Those Wonderful Days  Remember remember The warm summer Haze

Remember Remember When we stood tall, Remember remember The best days of all.............

Wake Up! {You have a Mountain to climb}


 Inspired By You so it must be true, Harsh early days can shape our ways.

Being used and abused can leave us confused. In the darkest of nights we can still see lights.

One more memory from the cupboard of fear. we laugh it off and wipe away a tear.

Comedy is king. It erases that thing and a smile last long into the night.Wake up! You have a Mountain to climb,Sleep is priceless Our favorite time, Wake up! You have a Mountain to climb.

You got your Hair pulled while bawled at for sure. Walking on tip toes before closing that door. 

Sit down shut up stand up face the wall. Wait for your destiny Yeah your curtain call.

Its cool to be a clown and I need to laugh since Mother tried drowning Me in a cold bath. 

We got this far without crying to sleep, A bed time story or little Bo-Peep.

Running away could be the answer, Drink yourself silly with a Ballet Dancer

Create your own Hero while looking real cool. Bang your own drum while acting the fool

I prefer Dogs to people as well. They love me and hug me I guess you can tell. 

Not every song will capture or rhyme Wake up! you have a Mountain to climb

It takes a while to realize Your special too in every ones eyes.

So believe in  all your inner most desires. Making us laugh keep stoking those fires.

We are gonna miss you now your not around. Take care of Buster while painting the town.

I hope we meet on the other side but until then I'll stay on this ride.

Up then down, Fast then slow veering left and on with the show.

We Will remember the Days when you would be Queen, The Funniest Drag that I ever seen.

Oh Lilly so savage a Bombsite for sure/ Your POG cast a hoot, cant wait for the tour.

We know your out there somewhere A curse in the evening air

I cant stop laughing or crying I swear.

We all miss you while standing in line to shake the hand of Mr Canine

Whistle your favorite tune while the Cow jumps over the Moon

No one knows why or reason You went? Remain in our hearts in the garden of Kent 

Just remain in our Hearts in The Garden of Kent. 

Time is a Healer so waste no more time, Wake up You have a Mountain to climb

Yeah wake up You have a Mountain to climb.

Can you hear that shouting something about a Mountain

Can you hear that shouting something about a Mountain

Does it Matter


Dressing down in My Sunday Best

Facing South But Heading out West

Been Caught Offside Swam against the tide,Really didn't matter being taken for a ride

Acting the fool on Saturday Night

Trying on black then deciding on white. 

Staying indoors Going out for a bite. Sailing against the wind Flying a kite

Did it matter Did it Shatter Did the Glass Break

What the Hell for Heavens Sake Yeah What the Hell for Heavens Sake.

Hanging around Didn't hesitate Got home early after going out late 

Wasted My time on a life of crime Lost a few pound but then found a Dime

Decisions Decisions Don't have a clue Front Runner Baby Back o the Queue

 Going in while their Chucking Out, Decisions Decisions Swings and Roundabouts

Did it Matter Did it Shatter Did the Glass Break

What the Hell for Heavens Sake Yeah What the Hell for Heavens Sake

Running on empty far too long

A line just taken from a favorite song

One day flush then needing a loan

Tyrone shoelaces and Basketball Jones

Cant think for the life of me, Too noisy in here. Stuck in neutral while in top gear.

Did it matter, Did it shatter? Did the glass break, What the Hell for heavens sake 

I started out on a one way track. No destination and no going back

Once I was History but soon I'll be dead

Once I was Green but often saw red

Ignored the Warnings whispered to me, Sang from the Heart but in the Wrong Key

Did it Matter? Did It Shatter? Did The Glass Break, What the hell for heavens sake

All Right Now My Brother Jake

Did it Matter Did it Shatter Will the glass break

Will we all end up like the lady in the Lake

Dancing in the Moonlight, Thin Lizzy and Phil

The last bus home , Running up  that hill.

Does it matter Will it Shatter Will our Hearts Break What The Hell for Heavens Sake.

Shoulda Wudda Coulda


 As sure as Tick follows Tok I was born to rock.

As sure as Night follows day. I was born to play;

Missed my vocation Singing to the Nation. Should have been a Real Rocking Celebration.

But oh no I didn't do the show, Much too Busy to play that Rock n Roll.

Maybe I  didn't catch the eye of people passing by and. Shoulda  wudda  Coulda been a Rock n Roll Queen.You know whatta mean A real Mean Machine But it was just a Dream -

That didn't come True  In front of the Mirror with Bolans Boogaloo

I was sounding good  practicing alone. Busting my moves with a beat up microphone

Created a band with some old friends, doing covers from way back when, Yeah we were sounding good or at least seemed good to me.

As sure as Chuck wore a Beret I  drove down to the levy in a rusty Car shoulda coulda been a Chevy

I missed the Greyhound Bus going off track. Made the wrong move and never going back.

Shoulda Woulda Coulda been a Rock n Roll Star Instead of a Dreamer propping up the Bar.

Spent all night playing the Blues Catching up with more bad news when( I SHOULDA  WUDDA COULDA ) x4

Repeat 1st four lines and fade

Horses For Courses


 My thoughts are running thru my mind

People think that I'm unkind and wasting precious energy on gambling online.

But let them say what they think while treating me like a missing link, I aint part of a chain and know I aint going Insane. 

I believe in myself while leaning here on this shelf 

Writing out my Betting Slip. just one more Beer and one more Tip

Waiting for my Luck to turn, Dreaming of  tomorrow. knowing that I will Earn or beg steel and Borrow

Another Photo finish. A pounding in my heart. Cant we raise the flag again Go back to the start

Lady Luck is playing Hide n Seek. while I search for that winning streak, I bet my wages on a Bay Maybe I should call it a day.

No money in my Purse. Things are getting Worse

I made a promise to myself while Leaning on this shelf

Writing out My Yankee Bet. This is it No more debt.

Got a feeling that feels good.  My fingers crossed Come On Touch wood.

Cant believe he just pulled up and why o why Its just my Luck

Bad aint the word Going Insane Cant believe I didn't Win Again

Falling at the last when eight lengths Clear

Tear up the slip wipe away a tear

Get back to work Get back to life, How will I tell the wife

No money for Rent and I'm still bent on Making things right no sleep tonight

Bad thoughts are running thru my Mind

Family think that I;m unkind and wasting precious energy Gambling online.

I lost My Money

I Lost My Honey

And now I;m losing My Mind.

Cherry Red Apple Green


 Pull over baby The cherry Man said

Slow down your speed. The Devils ahead.

The Fruit may be Tiny but shiny and red

Don't swallow those stones Honey Kiss  them instead.

Be good to Your self  living  the Dream

Bitter ain't sour when Apple Green. 

Have Faith in The Orchard while the leaves fall.

Nothing But Cold Nights surviving is cruel.

What evolves from laughter is learning to cry 

Cherry Red Smiles Apple Green Lies (Repeat x 1)

BRIDGE & Chorus

One more time in the orchard we climb, Picking Red Cherries while sucking on Lime

Soon will be winter No Blossom No Flower. Just apples green Bitter Twisted and Sour.

The Juiciest Fruit wont ripen for Long

Its there in your youth and then fades until gone

Cherries are history, Green apples decay.

Fall from the tree and then fade away.

BRIDGE & Chorus

One more time in the orchard we climb, Picking Red Cherries while sucking on Lime

Soon will be winter No Blossom No Flower. Just apples green Bitter Twisted and Sour.


The warm summer sun The Harvest is King

An Angel of Mercy Unfurls Her Wings,

 Rainbows appear in the Bluest of skies Take a Deep breath with tears in your eyes.

Awake from the Dream Rise From Your Bed Embrace Apple Green and Cherries so Red.

Good Night Stranger the Cherry Man Yells

Embrace The New Shoots and the Sound Of Life Bells. 

We fade away in search of a light. To welcome New Fruit The Joy And Delight.
