Run to the Rainbow

There’s no pot of gold
if that’s what you’re looking for.
Different kind of treasure
one worth so much more.

Peace and understanding.
World with no war.
Riches for the taking.
New world to explore.

(Refrain)
Run to the rainbow.
Catch it if you can.
Colors coming toward you
since serenity began.
Run to the rainbow.
Reach out and take a hand.
Keep it safe inside you.
Brotherhood of man.

We come in many colors –
it shouldn’t change the plan.
Time to show hate the gate
and ban it from the land.

Let’s all the share the rainbow.
Paint new portraits of ourselves.
We all can be a better me
and bid our fears farewell.

Why leave this world as enemies
when we can part as friends?

(refrain)

Supernaturally High

I don’t know this feeling
Never had it before.
I just hit the ceiling
while being on the floor.
Captured by enchantment –
always craving more.
Emotionally dependent,
it’s you I adore.

(Mid-8)
You are my addiction,
my dangerous desire.
You are my prescription
to get closer to the fire.

(Refrain)
Gotta stay high with you
Hey Hey Hey Doo Doo Doo
U gotta stay high with me
Hey Hey Hey Hee Hee Hee
Supernatural,
Supernaturally high.
Supernatural,
Supernaturally high.
Supernatural,
Supernaturally high.
Supernatural,
Supernaturally high.

Be each other’s castles
Live each other’s dreams.
Heaven without the hassles –
a kingdom for a queen.
We take it to the limit –
intense and full extreme.
A high I’ll never know again.
A love full-on supreme.

(mid-8)

(refrain)

It’s all so supernatural.
Magic’s in the air.
If it’s a habit, then I have it.
Caught the love disease.
Jonesin’ for your body, baby.
All it takes to please.

(refrain)

Lavender Love-In

Music in the meadow.
Peace is now declared –
Sharing good between us.
Compassion everywhere.

(Refrain)
Lavender love-in.
Incense in the air.
Lavender love-in.
together in our lair.
Lavender love-in.
Blossoms and a prayer.
Put a flower in your hair.

Gentle beings gather.
Flock without the fleece.
Does it really matter
how we tame the beast?
How we tame the beast?

(refrain)

(Mid-8)
Our intention, so much more
when we are hand-in-hand.
Go to where the love is.
Peace will find a way.
Walk on this earth gently.
We can change today.

Dance to heart’s desire.
Commune with other souls.
Time to put the love in.
Lavender love-in.

Make Love, Not War

Will you share my jasmine tea
until our pot runs dry?
Sleep under the shining stars –
watch sunrise in the sky.
See the colors all around
without a reason why.

Let’s walk hand in hand.
Kiss with kind embrace.
Smell blossoms in the fragrant air.
Trouble without a trace.
Let’s declare it everywhere.
Every person. Every place.

(Refrain)
Make love, not war.
Make love, not war.
Make love. Make love.
Make love, not war.
Hate is such a bore.

(Mid 8)
Friend instead of foe?
Truth instead of lies?
Unity for you and me
grows and multiplies.
Emerge from our cocoons.
And fly like butterflies.

I’ll tell you all my dreams
if you will tell me yours.
Why fit in when standing out
frees us from the herd?
Dig the music. Do the dance.
Up to us to spread the word.

(refrain)

Someone

Someone left the light on.
Someone shared a smile.
Someone saw the daybreak.
Someone reconciled.
Someone kept a secret.
Someone found a treasure.
Someone saw the blue skies.
Someone found the pleasure.

(Refrain)
I want to be that someone
with sunshine in my soul.
With happy days ahead –
who’s warm instead of cold.
I want to be that someone.

Someone helped another.
Someone made it better.
Someone found a new way.
Someone shines with splendor.
Someone lit a candle.
Someone paved the way.
Someone forgot their sorrow.
Someone had their say.

(refrain)

(Mid-8)
It’s a journey to get to heaven.
It’s a walk to find the joy.
Discover your own essence.
Cut out all the noise.
Love is not the question –
it’s the answer we should give.

Someone showed some kindness.
Someone saved a stray.
Someone hugged a stranger.
Someone made their day.

(refrain)

I want to be that someone.

Our Turn

You had your chance to do your dance –
form the future for us all.
Is it better? Have lives improved?
Or have your efforts hit the wall?
We’re still at war, just like before.
You don’t talk about it much.
If our system’s still run by you
no wonder we’re out-of-touch.

(Refrain)
It’s our turn, It’s our voice –
we’ll step up to be heard.
Time to store old ways away –
questions to be answered.
It’s our turn, It’s our voice,
time to shape what life becomes.
We create our destiny –
to do what must be done.

Such a mess you’ve left us in –
so many issues unresolved.
Can women earn as much as men?
Has prejudice evolved?
Do homeless have a place to live?
Do Vets now have good care?
Why is health so costly when
the sick are in despair?

(refrain)

(Mid8)
No one else can do it for us.
No one else can make it right.
It’s up to us to lead the way.
Up to us to lead the fight.
We’re not idle puppets who
let others pull our strings.
Our turn to be first in line –
bring what we need to bring.

(refrain)

We create out destiny —
to do what must be done –
to do what must be done –
to do what must be done –

Using You

Finally found
the one I was looking for.
Magic, the first moment.
Want to be together.
Want to make it tight.
Build a future –
making love through the night.

(Refrain)
No matter what you think.
He’s just using you
He’ll push you to the brink
with every wink.
Using you. Using you. Using you.

When we’re online –
it’s like you’re really here.
Your smile on my screen
comes in so loud and clear.
Got the flowers
you sent last night.
Roses for our romance –
my dating dynamite.

(refrain)

(Mid 8)
I want to come and see you
but you live far away.
I’m in Pennsylvania –
and you’re in L.A .
The miles between us
shouldn’t keep us so apart.
No matter the distance, baby
you’re always in my heart.

No matter what you think.
He’s just using you
No matter what you think.
No matter what you think.

He’s just using me...

H’ashbury (Haight-Ashbury)

Brothers and sisters
come hear the clarion call.
We all were here before
when love was a waterfall.

Find the family again
on the corner of peace and love.
We can get together
with flowers and the doves.

(Refrain)
H’ashbury.
Haight-Ashbury.
Comin’ back to you.
H’ashbury.
Haight-Ashbury.
Dreams can still come true.
H’ashbury.
Haight-Ashbury.
A loving landlocked ark.
H’ashbury.
Haight-Ashbury.
H’ashbury’s in our heart.

Listen to the music.
Dance the way you feel.
Be the spirit flying free.
Make it all too real.
Smell the incense. Wear some beads.
A flower in your hair.
Find your tribe, it’s what you need.
A place where love is shared.

(refrain)

(Mid-8)
Been gone so long dear H’ashbury.
Forgot our way to here.
The golden city by the bay –
different than it appears.

Can we return and reunite
the clan back once again?
Kindness and understanding
where everyone’s your friend?

(refrain)

Rock It!

Rock it like it used to be –
ROCK IT!
Rock it like Jerry Lee –
ROCK IT! like Bill Haley –
ROCK IT!

Belt it out like Bo Diddley –

Play guitar like Chuck Berry –

Back to where it first was sung.

Now the party’s just begun!
ROCK IT!
Three two one, let’s have some fun –

(refrain)

(Mid8)
Grab a dance with your little doll.
Love it, love it, love it.
Inspiration for John and Paul.

(refrain)

Opposites Attract

Some might think we’re a little odd.
Opposite of two peas in a pod.
Less in common, lots we lack.
All good, it’s understood
‘cause opposites attract.

Magnetic attraction’s always there.
Plus and minus, circle and square.
Can’t be more different, that’s a fact.
All good, it’s understood
‘cause opposites attract.

(Refrain)
Opposites attract.
(certainly not the same)
Opposites attract.
(goes against the grain)
Opposites attract.
(really can’t explain)
Opposites attract.
(our love still remains)
Opposites attract.
(certainly not the same)
Opposites attract.
(goes against the grain)
Opposites attract.
(really can’t explain)

You dig veggies, I like meat.
Quite contrary what we eat.
I add, while you subtract –
All good, it’s understood
‘cause opposites attract.

(refrain)

(Mid 8)
I love you, not a mirror of me.
Together is where we want to be.
I say right, you say left, agree to disagree.
Unlikely possibility –
but then, I think that’s the key –
a perfect match,
like champagne with brie.

Opposites attract.
(certainly not the same)
Opposites attract.
(goes against the grain)
Opposites attract.
(really can’t explain)
Opposites attract.
(our love still remains)

It Don’t Work that Way

I‘ve watched your battles.
Struggle as you try to cope.
Wrestle with your demons.
Wrecks havoc with your hope.

There’s no easy access.
No shortcut for your life.
Sometimes you just can’t get there
no matter how you fight.

(Refrain)
It don’t work that way.
It don’t work that way.
Best laid plans. Another chance.
It don’t work that way.
World turns, it’s not concerned.
Cuz, it don’t work that way.
It don’t work that way.

You’re going nowhere.
Gettin’ there plenty fast.
Already wore out your shoes
from places you have past.

Walkin’ in big circles –
you’ve seen the scenes before.
Discover a new direction.
Get out and explore.

(refrain)

(Mid-8)
What if there was really gold
at the rainbow’s end.
Unicorns, fairy dust
and imaginary friends.
All the food we can eat,
sweets without decay.
Fantasy is fiction,
‘cause it don’t work that way.

It don’t work that way.
It don’t work that way.
It don’t work that way.

Frets and Regrets

Eatin’ my heart out.
Drink ‘til I black out.
Carryin’ a heavy load.
All my frets and my regrets.
Watchin’ my life erode.
My life erode.

(Refrain)
It ain’t easy.
It ain’t right.
All my frets and damn regrets
keepin’ me uptight.
The blues never lose.
Cry into the night.
The blues never lose.
Cry into the night.
All my frets and sad regrets –
wrong instead of right.The blues never lose.
Cry into the night.
The blues never lose.
Cry into the night.
All my frets and sad regrets –
wrong instead of right.

Nerves – fried and fragile.
Stomach in a knot.
Nothing soothes the heartbreak.
Spirit’s set to rot.
All my frets and damn regrets
laying me so low.

Can’t escape the sadness.
Gnawin’ at the grief.
Missed my shot at happiness.
Lookin’ for relief.

Trouble at the door.
all my frets – sad regrets
there’s more in store.

(refrain)

A Dinkin’ Problem
(The Pickleball Song)
Got a dinkin’ problem
Back in the court again.
Got a dinkin’ problem
The net is not my friend.
Got a dinkin’ problem
End up getting’ smashed.
Got a dinkin’ problem.
Goin’ by too fast.

Got a dinkin’ problem
Really in a pickle.
Got a dinkin’ problem
Money’s in the middle.
Got a dinkin’ problem
Lob the ball a bit.
Got a dinkin’ problem.
Make the baseline hit.

(Refrain)
Who’s the serve?
What’s the score?
Are you one or two?
Can’t stay out of the kitchen
or make drop shots true.
First one to eleven
wins and then stays in.
If there’s pickleball in heaven
that’s where I’ll find some friends.

Got a dinkin’ problem
Wish I had the touch.
Got a dinkin’ problem
Slammin’, not so much.
Got a dinkin’ problem
Takes patience, that’s for sure.
Got a dinkin’ problem.
Looking for the cure.

Got a dinkin’ problem
Can’t get over it.
Got a dinkin’ problem
I’d rather do a hit.
Got a dinkin’ problem
It’s all about the stroke.
Got a dinkin’ problem.
Try and then I choke.

(refrain)

(Mid-8)
In the gym or great outdoors
fresh start, new game, new scores.
Side in, side out,
If you lose, no time to pout.
When the poacher pounces
that’s the way the ball bounces.
That’s the way the ball bounces.

If there’s pickleball in heaven –
If there’s pickleball in heaven
that’s where I’ll find some friends...

Thirsty University

Friends leavin’ hometown –
off to parts unknown.
College is a callin’ –
leaving me all alone.
Folks come up and ask,
“Where you headed, (girl) son?”
I tell ‘em “Thirsty University”
where I’ll graduate in fun.

Lager and Pilsner –
Brown Ale and some Stout.
Dark ones, light ones –
I-P-A’s will really knock you out!
Gotta start in the morning
if you’re gonna drink all day.
Stumblin’ through my classes
and I’m goin’ to get an “A!”

(Refrain)
Thirsty University.
Drinkin’ lotsa beer.
Crammin’ for a pop quiz –
with a bottle full of cheer.
Thirsty University.
Homework every night.
Get a P-H-D in alcohol –
my future’s lookin’ bright.

(Refrain2)
Higher education
is where I want to be.
A school that helps make
everything easy, you see.
Might take years of study,
that’s alright with me.
Washin’ down all that knowledge
while getting my degree.

Thirsty University.
Never skip a class.
Don’t have to study
just to raise a glass.
Thirsty University.
Higher education.
Everyday a Saturday.
Always a celebration.

Few go to college to be
doctors and engineers.
Some have to find themselves
before they start careers.
Do what you love to do
is the best advice for me.
Sippin’ suds with my buds
at Thirsty University.

(refrain)

(refrain2)

Joni

I wish I had known you then.
Singing your poetry so confidently –
a woman in control.
A woman expressing her wisdom,
composure, certainty.
A woman expressing her skepticism,
vulnerability, sensitivity.
Just you and me
alone together
listening to the LP –
lyrics speaking to my heart.

Perhaps, I should have abandoned school
and driven to Laurel Canyon.
Would you have been my friend?
Ten years older and so much wiser.
As a girlfriend, I didn’t intend.
I’d leave that for David or Graham
or fellow Canadian Neil.
But I would have loved to know
what made you tick.
Learn what made you feel.

For the Roses is still my favorite.
Capturing the devotion
of a precocious eighteen year old
with words that shaped my life.
Listening again, forty seven years later,
it catapults me back instantly
to that fresh, frustrating, formative time
that helped craft the whole of me.

I remember you complaining on
Miles of Aisles about the audience
demanding to hear your old songs.
You said they never would ask Van Gough
to paint another Starry Night.
But I can listen without your permission
as many times as I desire.
Experience my own starry night
as my soulful reflection transpires.

I wish I had known you then.
