you say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend
lyin' on the pavement with a misery on his brain stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall he only had a dollar to live on 'til next monday but he spent it on some comfort for his mind did you say you think he's blind someone should call his parents a sister or a brother and they'll come to take him back home on a bus but he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother yeah he'll always be another one of us he said he wanted heaven but prayin' was too slow so he bought a one way ticket on an airline made of snow did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low? flyin' low dyin' slow Hoyt Axton/Steppenwolf - Snowblind Friend I'm wondering when and where you could get one of those tickets for a dollar... |

REO Speedwagon - Riding the Storm Out
Riding the storm out
Waiting for the thaw out On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter My wine bottle's low Watching for the snow I've been thinking about what I've been missing in the city And I'm not missing a thing Watching the full moon crossing the range Riding the storm out |

are you OK?
you've been shot in the head and I'm holding your brains the old woman said so I drink in the shadows of an evening sky see nothing at all the stars look so special the snow looks so old* a frail form is drifting beyond the yoga-zone time to question the mountain why pigs can fly it's nothing at all I praise to you nothing ever goes away I praise to you nothing ever goes I praise to you Bowie - Earthling - Seven Years in Tibet *"the snow... is warm..." |

....my mind... I can feel it going Dave...
a river
a mountain to be crossed the sunshine in mountains sometimes lost around the south side so cold that we cried were we ever colder on that day a million miles away it seemed from all eternity move forward was my friend's only cry in deeper to somewhere we could lie and rest for the the day with cold in the way were we ever colder on that day a million miles away it seemed from all eternity the moments seemed lost in all the noise a snow storm a stimulating voice of warmth of the sky of warmth when you die were we ever colder on that day a million miles away we seemed from all eternity the sunshine in mountains sometimes lost the river can disregard the cost and melt in the sky warmth when you die were we ever colder on that day a million miles away we seemed from all eternity Yes - Fragile - South Side of the Sky |

Two more by Kate. (they are only waffer theen)
Under Ice (from Hounds of Love) it's wonderful everywhere so white the river has frozen over not a soul on the ice only me skating fast I'm speeding past trees leaving little lines in the ice cutting out little lines in the ice splitting splitting sound silver heels spitting spitting snow there's something moving under under the ice moving under ice through water trying to get out of the cold water "it's me" something someone help them "it's me" Moments of Pleasure (from The Red Shoes) some moments that I've had some moments of pleasure I think about us lying lying on a beach somewhere I think about us diving diving off a rock into another moment the case of George the Wipe oh god I can't stop laughing this sense of humor of mine it isn't funny at all but we sit up all night talking about it just being alive it can really hurt these moments given are a gift from time on a balcony in New York it's just started to snow he meets us at the lift like Douglas Fairbanks waving his walking stick but he isn't well at all the buildings of New York look just like mountains through the snow just being alive it can really hurt and these moments given are a gift from time just let us try to give these moments back to those we love to those who will survive and I can hear my mother saying "every old sock meets an old shoe" isn't that a great saying every old sock meets an old shoe here come the Hills of Time: hey there Maureen... hey there Bubba dancing down the aisle of the plane... it's Murph playing his guitar refrain... hey there Teddy spinning in the chair at Abbey Road... hey there Michael do you really love me? hey there Bill could you turn the lights up? |

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on But it dont snow here It stays pretty green I'm going to make a lot of money Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry He tried hard to help me You know, he put me at ease And he loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I've gone and lost the best baby That I ever had Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh I wish I had a river I made my baby say goodbye It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on The unsurpassed Joni |

thick cloud steam rising hissing stone on sweat lodge fire
around me buffalo robe sage in bundle rub on skin outside cold air stand wait for rising sun red paint eagle feathers coyote calling it has begun something moving in I taste it in my mouth and in my heart it feels like dying slow letting go of life medicine man lead me up though town Indian ground so far down cut up land each house a pool kids wearing water wings drink in cool follow dry river bed watch scouts and guides make pow-wow signs past Geronimo's Disco Sit 'n' Bull steakhouse white men dream a rattle in the old man's sack look at mountain top keep climbing up way above us the desert snow white wind blow I hold the line the line of strength that pulls me through the fear San Jacinto I hold the line San Jacinto the poison bite and darkness take my sight - I hold the line and the tears roll down my swollen cheek - think I'm losing it getting weaker I hold the line San Jacinto yellow eagle flies down from the sun from the sun we will walk on the land we will breathe of the air we will drink from the stream we will live hold the line PG - Security - San Jacinto |

strip the branches
unsheathe the hatchets the threads of friendship are coming off the teeth of lawyers man the trenches bands of betrothal are coming off but if we're good if we're kind but if we're good generous and kind we'll inhabit their sunsets their goddesses and queens we'll try to do the right thing oh save them oh save them let the children come to me it's a harrowing world of adults and girls lashing out at the hurt that surrounds them with the knives drawn apart they shatter the heart of anyone that dares come between them let the children come to me once a playground of swings then the malice set in and reduced all the colours to winter so we made it our own this snow borne sorrow and this love that stutters and splinters let the children come to me her apostles have gone they left one by one with no forwarding address to trace them it's a secular world of adults and girls and we ask because nothing is certain let the children come to me when their feet touch the ground naked unbound I want them to know they can trust me there's so much to be ungrateful for let the children come to me Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow - Title |

she's here in the snowfall
at dead of night the mood is of courtship the final fight she's all that I need all that I am the voice of compassion inside the man if you open the gates the madness begins I'll follow you down I'll follow you back in she's here in the lifelines in every curve suspended in silence between each word it's all in the way that she moves the grace and the light that will see me through it's coming true she's prising the rope from my hands the fear and the hopes that I held onto it's coming true color the river I swim back to you Krishna blue waist deep in water she starts to sing the voice is familiar and draws me in she's lighting the fires I dowsed by hand erasing the figure drawn in sand you open the gates the madness begins I follow you down I follow you back in and here in the darkness the boundary gone the flame is alive and burning strong it's all in the way that she moves the grace and the light that will see me through it's coming true color the river I swim back to you Krishna blue "in the softest belly and the warmest heart In your open hands I lay my head In the never ending I fall apart In the silent forest and the brilliant red And through the stream of words there comes a sound And I listen childlike to her voice spellbound" David Sylvian (& Ingrid Chavez) - Dead Bees on a Cake - Krishna Blue Hint: two 'accidental' clues to trivia question in post #30 |
