Turnstile

play a little kiss and tell
with poison pills
bitten in the valley of thirst
the body kills

i-i-i-i've got an ocean pearl
i-i-i see an open world
ocean pearl

you just have to whisper

promising the moon
if she dares to dream
make it true

i-i-i-i've got an ocean pearl
i-i-i see an open world
ocean pearl

it's what i wanted
cause i'm only going to this once
gonna wash me in your water
and put the "vive" back in "la difference"
yeah

i-i-i-i've got an ocean pearl
i-i-i-i'd die without my
ocean pearl

Electric Light Orchestra Last Train to London

It's always no it isn't.

The Shut-Eye Train

Come, mylittle one, with me!

There are wondrous sights to see

As the evening shadows fall;

In your pretty cap and gown,

Don't detain

The Shut-Eye train--

"Ting-a-ling!" the bell it goeth,

"Toot-toot!" the whistle bloweth,

And we hear the warning call:

"All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!"

Over hill and over plain

Soon will speed the Shut-Eye train!

Through the blue where bloom the stars 

And the Mother Moon looks down

We'll away

To land of Fay--

Oh, the sights that we shall see there!

Come, my little one, with me there--

'Tis a goodly train of cars--

All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!

Swifter than a wild bird's flight

Through the realms of fleecy light

We shall speed and speed away!

Let the Night in envy frown--

What care we

How wroth she be!

To the Balow-land above us,

To the Balow-folk who love us,

Let us hasten while we may--

All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!

Shut-Eye Town is passing fair--

Golden dreams await us there;

We shall dram those dreams, my dear,

Till the Mother Moon goes down--

See unfold

Delights untold!

And in those mysterious places

We shall see beloved faces

And beloved voices hear

In the grace of Shut-Eye Town,

Heavy are your eyes, my sweet,

Weary are your little feet--

Nestle closer up to me

In your pretty cap and gown;

Don't detain

The Shut-Eye Train!

"Ting-a-ling!" the bell it goeth,

"Toot-toot!" the whistle bloweth,

Oh, the sights that we shall see!

All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!

Poems of Childhood

November 24

I'm grateful today. My Son's don't drink.

The Wedding Ring

"Where to Mam?" 

"Figuero, Figuero and Temple"

"Yes, Mam"

"Edie's Bar, indian territory"

"Delorca's territory too Mam"

"The Family owned almost all that section in the old days, but that's the way it goes with the old families bit by bit they sell off the land, but I never would of thought I'd see the last of the Delorca's to the grave-that I didn't, and me with seven grandchildren, all boys"

"And his only son died"

"Mam?"

"I said Mr. Delorca's only son died"

"Mam there's been no child born or died in the Delorca family boy or girl that I know of"

"Huh, course that was twenty years ago"
"Twenty years ago Mam? It's been forty years or more I've been driving the Delorca family, if they'd had a child I'd a known about it"

"They never had a child, a boy, when they were first married?"

"They certainly did not Mam"

"Well perhaps they were away, when it happened"

"No, Mam that first year, the first 2 or 3 years, after they were married as I remember well, they never left here, Mr. Delorca said he's shifted around enough in the service to last him quite a while"

"Thank you very much."

"Your welcome Mam."

Quote.  Cole: "Heavenly Father we call upon you in this hour of need for you are the shepherd that shall guide the wanderer through the desert. You are the light that shall be his beacon in the darkness and yours is the mighty sword that shall strike down his enemies for he is in the path of righteousness. 

Amen"
