Forever young May god bless and keep you always may your wishes all come true may you always do for others and let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung and may you stay forever young. May you grow up to be righteous may you grow up to be true. May you always know the Truth and see the light surrounding you. May you always be courageous stand upright and be strong and may you stay forever young. May your hands always be busy may your feet always be swift may you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful may your song always be sung and may you stay Forever young.

Across the Universe Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe. Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind, possessing and caressing me. Jai guru De-va Om Nothings gonna change my world. Nothings gonna change my world. Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes that call me on and on across the universe. Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they tumble blindly as they make their way across the Universe. Jai guru De-va Om Nothings gonna change my world. Nothings gonna change my world. Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing thru’ my open views inciting and inviting me. Limitless undying Love which shines around me like a million suns It calls me on and on, across the Universe. Jai guru De-va Om Nothings gonna change my world. Nothings gonna change my world. Jai guru De-va

Song For Joni She has a quality all men admire in equality music, art and words inspire. Women aspire to capture and parade her secret given but to them only be a charade. Her grace and fortune can’t be bought or sold by the many who could sacrifice their souls. So rare a beauty singing of her dreams kept secret until now are told. She sings to the sound hole her guitar inlayed portrays among the scars the songs of many wars betrayed that she has sung. And strums deep beneath her purple veil that hides the hurt she softens with her voice that cuts in waves of ice and salt water from her tongue. She leaves you dreaming: could you sit down at her table in a smoky bar to share her company as she sings to you as she caresses her guitar. And you struggle not to love her as you listen to her voice her soul enlightened sings beyond your reach with angel's wings lifted from afar. Her legacy of words and music only measured by her paintings worth more than gold. Her compassion warms the hearts her fans across the world both young and old. You want to give her love and flowers feed her cats and hear her play. She makes you want to keep within your heart her precious gifts for you to hold today.

Carrickfergus I wish I was in Carrickfergus only for nights in Balygran. I would swim over the deepest ocean only for nights in Balygran But the sea is wide and i cannot swim over Neither have I the wings to fly If I could find me a handsome boatsman to ferry me over to my love and die. Now in Kilkenny it is reported They've marbled stones there as black as ink. With gold and silver i would transport her But I'll sing no more now 'till i get a drink but I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober A handsome rover from town to town O, but I'm sick now my days are numbered Come all ye young lads and lay me down.
