as i look into the sun

standing there with the sound puring over your shoulders
feeling that you might be riding out a storm
captain of this boat willing it forward
smiling ear to ear staring into sheets of rain

need a woman to love
need a guitar to strum
need a crowd of folks to sing to
as i look into the sun

memorized your moves knowing that you need it
you laugh into the dark, somehow there’s a clearing

need a woman to love
need a guitar to strum
need a crowd of folks to sing to
as i look into the sun

Settle Down

gregorygibson — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:24:32 +0000

woke up with no plan, no plan at all
window breathes cold winter air, down the hall
and that look in your eye as we roll out of bed
says this is as good, as good as it gets

we walked door to door
we talked of looking for
a place to…
settle down, down, down, down

took to the first place, first place we saw
perched on the side of a hill, ready to fall
in our hands if we take the next step

we knew and nothing more
we’re through, looking for
a place to…
settle down, down, down, down

ooohhh

settle down, down, down, down

the wild west

you share my name you share my fate
your old t-shirt wrapped around my dusty face

a tuft of your hair flips in the wind
and your gaze fixes on the nowhere we’ve been

now here comes the sun, rising in the east
and it’s taking my breath, as it moves,
reckless and wild, like a beast

there’s nothing left here on the desert floor
can’t lift my arm to shade you from the warmth

reaching out for your hand as we grasp at the end
the clouds rolling in with the morning again

place my ear to your heart and listen for God
but he doesn’t beat here not a wink not a nod

i think i hear music rolling ‘cross the plain
as i move toward the sound, i’ll be singing
to the rain

Nusrat Tuesday

Some video of one of the finest singers to walk this earth for you on this wonderful Tuesday morning…

Often too much is made of how much Jeff Buckley was influenced (although he most certainly was) by his work without actually emphasizing what the music is all about. Jeff said himself that he was afraid Nusrat would just be that “thing” people refer to or check out just because. Just listen. It’s gorgeous music, and that voice…

all of us

why wait for the day to come
you haven’t spent an hour with me until now

til now
til now

why wait for the day to come
it’s been now or never for a while

for a while
for a while

all of us are feeling the world
and we can’t help but turn
over in our sleep
over in our sleep

all of us have waited too long
for things we should have
like someone to hold
someone to hold

all of us have waited longer
for basic rights to come
and it shouldn’t take that long
