I looked through the lyrics of The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion and found myself instantly transported back to freshman year at college, 1970. What a trip! Aloha, Mark |

I often find myself singing fragments while driving in the car. Margaret THE TUNE I HEAR SO WELL With a stranger's frown I came to town riding in a car With a bloody rose in my lapel & whiskey in a jar And all I left behind me to remind me who I am Was plain boiled potatoes & the blood of the lamb (Chorus) But with all the words that I have heard I don't see how I'll tell I don't see how I'll ever play The tune I hear so well The nursemaid has her coup de grace, the nun her cup of gall Young girls have their silks & satins, old maids have their shawls The judge's book, the boxer's bell, the butcher his sweet smile The rhyme must have a reason, the time must have a while (Chorus) The lady has her vision & the lazy have their sleep The dream that I dreamed on the world was long & dark & deep And when I woke I broke my fast, drinking at the still By the bright stars of morning on the road behind the hill
