Into beauty sharin'
Resurrecting Stills and Manassas, Lane, Modesto, Kurt, Martha's tortillas, Fat Dog, Doce Robles, slacking in the south barn, that green pearl the Frio, Patty Matheny (yes, that Patty Matheny), and all that is/was right when it wuz:
Johnny’s Garden
There's a place
Where I'm safe
From the city blues
And it’s green
And it’s quiet
Only trouble was
I had to buy it
And I'll do anything I got to do
Cut my hair and shine my shoes
And keep on singin' the blues
If I can stay here in Johnny's garden
As the swift bird
Flies over the grasses
Dipping now and then
To take his breakfast
Thus I come and go
And I travel
And I can watch that bird
And unravel
And I'll do anything I got to do
Cut my hair and shine my shoes
And keep on singin' the blues
If I can stay here in Johnny's garden
With his love
And his carin'
He puts his life
Into beauty sharin'
And his children
Are his flowers
There to give us peace
In quiet hours
And I'll do anything I got to do
Cut my hair and shine my shoes
And keep on singin' the blues
If I can stay here in Johnny's garden
[stephen stills: rhyming grasses/breakfess: not bad: worthy of the slant rhymes of - though this pair is straight up, not leanin' - Quad and MamaQuad's little rhyming genius miQ]
For all this and more, Quad, even waxing nostalgic, is thankful.
