Lost On The River

Mark Knopfler/Emmylou Harris
Lost on the River

two from Serpentine Rapid

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

South of the river is good,
Long ago, I knew the landscape well.
At sunrise, the river's flowers are red like fire,
In spring, the river's water's green as lilies.
How could I not remember south of the river?
--Bai Juyi

Rock-a Hula Baby

Elvis Presley
Rock-a-Hula Baby from Blue Hawaii

when she moves her hips to her fingertips
i feel like i'm heaven bound
and when she starts to sway i've got to say
she really moves the grass around

No One Knows I'm Gone

hell above
and heaven below
all the trees are gone
the rain makes such
a lovely sound
to those who're
six feet underground
the leaves will
bury every year
and no one knows i'm gone
leave me golden
tell me dark
hide from Graveyard John
the moon is full here
every night
and i can bathe here
in his light
the leaves will
bury every year
and no one knows i'm gone
--tom waits

Yes, The River Knows

freefall flow
river flow
on and on it goes
breathe underwater
'til the end
yes, the river knows



Doors:

Broken Arrow

did you
see them
in the river?
they were
there
to wave
to you.
could you tell
that the
empty-quivered,
brown skinned
indian
on the banks
that were
crowded
and narrow
held a
broken arrow?
