I smelled the rose and I touched its velvet eye And I raised my hand just to feel it in the sky But I don't feel love Its a long walk home Through the naked trees as they're bending in the falling snow You lit a fire and I watched the embers glow Like a melting sun, like a spark dark long ago And it feels like home But it never was And we burn it down just to feel the scars of love. And we burn it down just to feel the scars of love. I smelled the rose and I touched its velvet eye And I raised my hand just to feel it in the sky But I don't feel love Its a long walk home Through the naked trees as they're bending in the falling snow.

Next day they found him down in the basement with his tongue cut out. CHORUS Gangster love, gangster love The boss accepted Ray's talkative nature but he drew the line at love When Ray recited Shelley and Byron then he'd had enough. CHORUS He walked around like a one-eyed king With a gun and diamond ring Then he fell in love with a southern belle She was born in Amarillo Kept her dog on a satin pillow If she loved Ray she hid it well One day she left him, and all the note said was "Goodbye" CHORUS Ray finally clammed up on the night of the big storm when the lights went out CHORUS Love,,Stories Douglas J.

They rode from Rockport to Boston while lightning shocked the sky. When she fell asleep she had a dream She saw the Monkey King born from a stone, in a poppy field With a tiger at his feet And his fingers poked the sky and made the rain. When she woke up from her dream the gap-toothed girl looked at the Monkey King He ate a peach and smiled to himself, then fell asleep The peach pit fell from his open hand, into her lap When she swallowed it whole she turned into a star, a second sun. The new lover of the King Until the day he disappeared and her tears became the snow. Stories Douglas J.

The fog crawled in And a boat's on fire Birch Reddy jumped overboard And swam for the shore The smoke was thick as tar "You can't see heaven, and hell's not far" Said Reverend Miller, at the parish door. Birch Reddy's lobster boat, Burned out, black as a tire. When the sheriff rowed out There was nothing left to see But the transom sinking slow You could read her name like blood on a bone He said, "I guess that's the end of the Brenda Lee". Sheriff Eggers was A God-fearing man Afraid of nothing else Except his wife's rump roast. But then as he rowed to shore He had a terrible fright and he rowed no more He thought he saw Birch Reddy's ghost. The sheriff coughed And said, "who's there?". Birch Reddy, pale as a curtain, Waved like a willow tree. He didn't know he was dead. "Poor Dot Miller", was all he said. And Sheriff Eggers watched him leave. With dinner set And chairs pulled in Dot Miller bowed her head As Reverend Miller prayed: "Forgive us father, for our sins," "Keep the devil out and the angels in" "And may every kindness be repaid". It was then she knew What he'd done. The good shepherd of his flock Had put the black sheep down. "Forgive me father for my sins" Dot said as the blade slid in. And then she cried for the lover drowned. Sheriff Eggers rang the bell Dot stood and opened the door The Reverend didn't get up. Ever again. Like the pork chop on his plate, It was by the knife that he met his fate. And every kindness was repaid. Stories Douglas J.

Stuck in Rockport with a broken down car It was a Sunday so I couldn't go far I walked to the Cornershop for coffee and eggs That's how I found that wooden leg That's how I found that wooden leg At the Cornershop I saw Sean Carnell He looked at me and the leg and said, "What the hell?" I said, "I found it on Union Street" Then I sat down for something to eat There's a pirate somewhere, tipping over. After breakfast I was walking home When I saw a one-legged man on the side of the road I walked over and said, "This must be yours" He said, "No, it's not. What's it for?" I said, "It's for walking, if you lose your leg" He said, "Mercy", then he scratched his head I gave it to him and he walked away "Mercy me" was all he could say "Mercy, mercy" I heard him say There's so much in this world I'll never understand.
