French Song

Never summer. Always winter.
Never sunny. Always cloudy.
When it rains I hide my eyes.
When it’s cold she always wore a scarf.

Never stopping to tie shoelace.
Always walking at the same pace.
Now her footsteps rings like a telephone in a dreaming ever waking.

Now and then, near or far.
Same breeze blowing, hush hush going.
What is this? A faint growing. Could this be a new idea?

Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala la la la.

What is this? A faint growing. Could this be a new idea?

I Don’t Drive

Take me to the movies, for I don’t drive.
Take me to the art shop, for I don’t drive.
And I wouldn’t mind a little ride.

Take me to the drug store, for I don’t drive.
You can take me anywhere, for I don’t drive.
And I wouldn’t mind a moonlight ride.

You can wear pants and you can wear sweaters, but you can’t walk in this cold weather.

Take me to the bookstore, for I don’t drive.
Take me to the corner store, for I don’t drive.
And I wouldn’t mind a moonlight ride.

Picnic

It’s a nice day for a picnic. It’s a nice day for a picnic. It’s a nice day for a picnic. Won’t you join me dear?
They said you were homesick for another place to live.
You said it was the state of mind that you were in, and you just needed to be challenged.
So we packed a basket full of food, and went down to the park.
(We) waved hello to all the families there, and their dogs.

It’s a nice day for a picnic. It’s a nice day for a picnic. It’s a nice day for a picnic. It’s so nice, won’t you join me dear?

You have so much potential.
I can see straight through your straight face.
Don’t get discouraged cause you’re on the winning team.
Yeah, you’re on the winning team.

Home Sweet Home

Fresh cilantro and ripe tomatoes to grow in our garden.
And when you enter in this space,
There will be a special place,
For you to feel at home.

You can sit where you please.
Enjoy your tea.
And say what you need.

You can sit where you please.
Come and enjoy your tea.
And say what you need.

La La La.
