Donovan: "Three Kingfishers"

with Shawn Phillips on sitar

look at the tiny oceans
in my hand
waves of liquid colours
touch the sand
oh i dreamed
you were a jewel
sitting on a golden crown
on my head

Bandersnatch: "Feel So Near"

i feel so near
to the howling of the wind
i feel so near
to the crashing of the waves
i feel so near
to the flowers in the field
i feel so near

Weaving Time In A Tapestry

Simon and Garfunkel
A Hazy Shade of Winter
New Orleans Jazzfest 2010

seasons change with the scenery
weaving time in a tapestry
won't you stop and remember me
at any convenient time?
it's funny how my memory slips
while looking over manuscripts
of unpublished rhyme
drinking my vodka and lime

And All Of That Jiving Around

i remember you well
in the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous
your heart was a legend
you told me again
you preferred
handsome men
but for me you
would make an exception
and clenching your fist
for the ones like us
who are oppressed
by the figures of beauty
you fixed yourself
you said
"well never mind,
we are ugly but
we have the music"
and then you got away
didn't you babe
you just turned your back on the crowd
you got away, i never once heard you say
i need you, i don't need you
i need you, i don't need you
and all of that jiving around

--Leonard Cohen
from Chelsea Hotel #2
