Some Fear

some fear takes hold of me
dreamin’ about things I ain’t never seen

what does it mean
these wolf-moon dreams

this fear still grips me

blood on her talons
snow on her wings

she does a wink-blink thing
and she did it to me

what will we find
if we look inside

locked up tight
maybe stopped [up] the light
for a lotta nights

is it over
is it handled

did he trade-in his work-boots for sandals

leave the handles and scandals
on westside high-ways and side-walks

it’s been almost five years
since we made the talk

and now I stand onstage
in a pitch black bird-cage

singing...
[lady marm-alade/mai-mon-ides]
[we are family and stand by me]

I think it’s tonight
but it could be today

best lesson I learned
I learned the hard way

best to do what she say
best to do what she say

when the nights are bright
high above the sea

a malibu scene
one night sunset light
was so bright

and the band played Love songs
wrapped in rhythms so tight

this is one of those nights
this is one of those nights

a kinda west coast delight

this is what we wait for
in the lobbies and alleys
hall-ways and high-ways

I did it my way
til’ my way broke [me]
now I do it [His/Her/Love’s] Way

not a man on a mission
just a daily decision

to suit up, brew a cup, and show up
about my good ideas - I gave them up

jump up on the Lord’s Truck
in that state there’s no such thing as luck

only Love Love Love
Love is all you see
Love is all you be…/
