Midnight, not a sound from the pavement. Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone. In the lamp light, the withered leaves collect at my feet, And the wind, begins to moan. ---

Gold and silver rings and stones Dances slowly off the moon No one else can know She stands alone Sleeping dreams will reach for her She cannot say the words they need She knows she’s alone And she is free Ocean gypsy of the moon The sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold Ocean gypsy, where are you The shadows followed by the stars Have turned to gold, turned to gold ---

Has anybody seen a dog dyed dark green. About two inches tall, with a strawberry blonde fall; Sunglasses and a bonnet and designer jeans with appliques on it? The dog that brought me so much joy Left me wallowing in pain. Quiche Lorraine. ---

Casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde, And the band played on. He’d glide 'cross the floor with the girl he adored, While the band played on. But his mind was so loaded it nearly exploded, The poor girl would shake with alarm; He married the girl with the strawberry curl, And the band played on. _ **-“BB”-** _ ---

To please both my parents, I’ve had to give way, And dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers. Their manners are fine, but their feet are of clay, And there’s none with the style of my log driver. For he goes birling down and down white water, That’s where the log driver learns to step lightly. Yes, birling down and down white water, The log driver’s waltz pleases girls completely. ---
