SEVEN SISTERS ROSE (Leonard/vanDam)

I cannot see the Northern lights From the patch of ground where I lay
At night I see the Southern cross And the Southern sun by day

Sometimes a flock of blackbirds trace a path across the sky
And other times I find your face in clouds as they float by

My fingers search my pocket for the comfort that is there
Your parting gift, the only thing that's saved me from despair

A locket with your picture some strands of golden hair
A seven sisters rose and a folded paper prayer
A seven sisters rose and a folded paper prayer

My brother fell before me I have not séen him since
I made it to the stream beyond the pretty picket fence
An ochre veil subdued the sun at dawn when I awoke
Close thunder pealed, like gunfire the air was stacked,like smoke




I long to lay my weary head in your two loving arms
To know the warmth of tender touch so far away from harm
As soon as I can stand again I'll run the gauntlet through
I'll set my compass by the stars and take me home to you

The moon and I can hear you Annalisa when you cry
I said I'd never leave you and to you I'll never lie
The moon and I can hear you Annalisa when you cry
To such a love, eternity could never be denied
To such a love, eternity could never- be denied

OK, so a guitar player I know told me that the thing stuck to Rudy's guitar is a Sabine AX-2000 contact tuner. Sticks to the top using a tactile silicone pad.

[Scarlett4Zanzibar]

Lovely, lovely, lovely ... when the accordian kicks in I cry like a baby. What is that thing on your guitar, may I ask? Good job, Rudy.  Thanks to Nancy for a poignant, poetic, sweet ballad. Thank you for posting this. ;)

HAd to fix it in my mind before heading out the door to work. Now I have something lovely to contemplate! NAncy
