the greentrees live
at
beans in the belfry,
brunswick md.

cool place with high ceilings,
perhaps a converted church,
cozy, old time comfy with smorgasborg
of chairs and tables

(belfry means bell tower, by the way,
beans, as opposed to bats, in the belfry)
dig it.

thanks to songwriter tomy
for running clean sound and a tight show

and thanks to tomy

Lonesome Weary Sailor


I'm that lonesome weary sailor
drifting through the ink of the night,
teary eyed well-worn travellor
reaching out towards the light.

..............new york night, new york flight
..............yellow taxi cab at a red, red light
..............black umbrella in a silver gray rain
..............tapping crazy rhythms of the drum, drum, drum of my brain.

when everything is certain,
life's all laid out in a row,
there's a wizard behind the curtain,
pulling strings, and letting me know,
i just don't know.

.................uptown, downtown
.................you pay the fare i take you around
.................show you the heights of the big city lights
..................show you the depths of the red light steps
...................show you the church, for better for worse
...................show you the graveyard where the box hits the dirt,

i'm that lonesome weary sailor,
drifting through the ink of the night,
teary-eyed, well-worn travellor,
reaching out towards the light,
extend your presence to me,
shine on down, shine on through me
be the pearl
of my dark night.

...................new york night, new york flight
...................yellow taxi cab at a red, red light,
...................black umbrella in a silver gray rain
...................tapping crazy rhthyms on the drum, drum, drum of my brain.

extend your presence to me,
shine on down, shine on through me....
be the pearl
of my dark night.

there you have it!
the song
as it appears that night.
is it finished?
not sure,
apparently close enough to play.

we just kinda slipped into that
(it really draws you in once you start)
okay!
thanks for listening,

take back your heart,
take back your power,
and make it a joyous journey!
