Grass-stained shirt and dusty knees"
Dar Williams, When I Was a Boy"

And the seas are rolling easy, as they did so long

That the
world is always turning toward the morning."

Morning"

May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be
strong,
May you stay forever young,

My

My thoughts will not cater to

No one can deny, die Gedanken sind frei!"
trans by Arthur
Krevess, "Gedanken sind frei"

"I will live with you and love you but I'll never
call you mine"

What is
love?
"It's hard love, but it's love all the same.
Not the stuff of

And the only kind of miracle that's worthy
of the name,
For the love that heals our lives is mostly hard love."
Bob
Franke, "Hard Love"
What is friendship?
"Tonight the smoke is rising, from all around the
room,
And judging from the warmth of the smells from the kitchen,
There'll
be supper ready soon...
And our table's set for twenty,
room for more if
they should come,
And later on we'll pass around a pipe for our
pleasure,
And sit and take a little rum... "
Stan Rogers,
"Pharisee"

"Now the sun has disappeared.
All is

Go groping
on their knees and cry in pain.
And the sun has disappeared."

Like the swallow will
learn to fly."

plenty, and drunkards barely twenty,
There are men of over 90 that have never

But give me a ramblin' rover, and frae Orkney down to
Dover
We will roam the country over, and together we'll face the
world."
Silly Wizard, "Ramblin' Rover"
What would you tell the one who loves you?
"No fancy gowns, no high
class towns to promise,
I'm plain as rain and that's just not my style.
I
never was the one to ask for favors,
But I hope you plan to stay with me a
while
You're as comfortable as quiet conversation
Among close friends who've
shared the time to eat,
Like good meat loves salt, that's how I love
you."
Si Kahn, "Like Butter Loves Bread"

Gonna punch that time clock 'til it can't ring

'Cause no one's gonna fold, bend or mutilate me!"
Nigel
Russell, "White Collar Holler"
Where do you want to be?
"There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place
for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us, somewhere....
There's
a time for us,
Somewhere a time for us
Time together with time to
share
Time to look, time to care"
West Side Story, "Somewhere"

Because my love
loves me"
