'wow where has the time gone
it seems like no one is having fun
the economy is in a tizzy
making me feel dizzy
but still glad i can look back
as nothing is white and black
the colour of the blonde hair
a world without a care
is why i feel free
for i am here
and i am still me'

'on the shores of the sound
no body could be found
a tribute to 9/11
for those who went to heaven
the rocks were brown
the city was only a town
but the cold chilly days
would not change our ways
my friend and me
we were by the sea'

'the streets of venice
reflect the old
last night's laundry
hanging to be sold
blows in the wind
i recall the day
i wish and i pray
that these thought won't linger
that feelings are suppressed
new avenues to travel
new riddles to unravel'

"oh beautiful day
come my way
to the top of the hill
i will call you bill
i will play your tunes
on the sandy dunes
i will live your dream
on the edge of what is seen'

'this month is mine
as i drink sweet wine
of life's joys and ills
there are no magic pills
i am but one with you
as we live this through
i am certain you know
that in the white snow
we melt in the heat
of the passionate heart beat'

'it's not a wonder
time does not stand still
we shine in our heart's glow
though it is not our will
that keeps us on our toes
looking for the next adventure
another year to fulfill
coming back for a refill'

"take me back to the time
of roses and wine
lovely images abound
i don't hear a sound
nothing left to contemplate
given god and given faith
i am on the upper course
you are the knight on the horse
save me from my destiny
inner beauty you will see'

Que Sera Sera
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

'flowers everywhere
no flowers in the hair
today i recall
yesterday i remembered
how i took these shots
wishing for september
when the leaves would fall
cold winds will blow
i can then recall
why i took these photos at all'

'there was one man who loved me
he made my heart flutter
he made my love matter
he came to me from above
he came as free as a dove
no one could know
what it was like to love so
when the love was not free
it becomes an unreality
when the love is forever
it is as light as a feather
floating on the rhine
as sweet as its wine
forever in my time
he will be mine'

‘i looked in the mirror
and who did a see
someone i thought
would always love me
i looked in the mirror
and i saw only the lens
someone was thinking
she had many good friends
i looked in the mirror
and could not see my face
someone told me
your life is blessed'

'they say the camera never lies
but what they don't know
is that the woman relies
for the rain to wash away the tears
for the snow to cover the years
the wind blows away the fears
the sun warms as he nears
the one man that is kind
that turns inside her mind
as every woman searches for
another soul to touch her core'

'wonder what tomorrow brings
for those who wear wedding rings
one day falling down from grace
another day she walks the race
one day up
one day down
one day
aida going to leave town
wonder what tomorrow brings
for those who lost their wedding rings
read it clearly
read it now
for all those
who think they know the what and how
you will fall in all your hate
you will drown after it's too late'

'in a hint of orange

'what one can find
that washes up from the sea
are broken sea shells
that once were as we
they swam the seas
they lived their lives
they came on shore
they are no more
what we can find
beside the sea
is a surreal peace
that fills our soul
that lets us know
we live to be'

'lonely when you found me
sitting on the shelf
aging like a fine wine
towing my own line
waiting for the cork to pop
drink the wine in crystal glasses
taste the grapes of ageless ways
never knowing for what he pays
you forgot about me
i was prime for men to see
i was ready for the squeeze
last drops of my fruity juice
the scent forever your tease'

'fenced in by my emotions
looking for answers
to unknown questions
nothing left to contemplate
sometimes the heart does not know
where the obvious begins
where the unknown ends
only looking back to see
there was always a fence
between you and me'

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Artist: The O'Jays Lyrics
Song: Use ta Be My Girl Lyrics
Good lovin'
The girls got plenty good lovin'
Ask me how I know and I'll tell you so
She use ta be my girl
I respected her when she was mine
I used to neglect her
She wanted more than I could give
But as long as I live
She'll be my girl
She use ta be my girl
She use ta be my girl
She had a charming personality
The girl was so right for me
She's my girl
And if I had the chance
I know I would take her back
As a matter of fact, right away that day
Not only good lookin'
The girl was so smart
You can't beat her cookin'
Ask her how I know and I'll tell you so
She use ta be my girl
Deep down inside I still love her
I would place no one above her
She's warm and sensitive
For as long as I live
She'll be my girl
If I had the chance I'd take her back
As a matter of fact right away, by today
Good lovin', the girl's got plenty good lovin'
Ask me how I know and I will tell you so
She use ta be my girl, my girl
She use ta be, use ta be my girl
She use ta be my girl
She use ta be my girl

'i know he thinks i am starved for attention
i know he thinks i am looking for love
i know he thinks no one would want me
i know he thinks i am waiting for him
i know he thinks i need his hand to touch
i know he thinks i will wait forever
who knows it could all be true
but...
what he doesn't know is that i walk alone
in the fields of god's earth
i have lived in the deepest solitude
i have loved myself despite all odds
i have laughed at myself
though no one laughed with me
i have smiled to faces
who cared not to notice
i have reached out with kindness
to only to be misunderstood and rejected
i have been alone with my thoughts
even in the nights when i was not alone'

thinking about you
So Sad, So Lonely
I found out
On a late-night drive
In my winter coat
With my blood-shot eyes
My faith ain't been
No friend to me
And the way I sin
Is hanging off of me
And I'm sorry
You can't take me anywhere
Pretty soon we're almost there
Baby, one more night
It's been a long, long drive
And I'm way, way tired
I don't need no
Back-up plan
I don't want nobody
Nobody don't want me
I'm so sad, so lonely
But I've always landed on my feet
One more time
With a sad, sad smile
And your white bread friends
In the circus life
All the one-way rides
The sweet beginners
Passing on the left-hand side
With a sideways smile
And I'm always
One step from stalling
Bad trips can make great stories
Dance all night
With your ass on fire
And your hands up high
And feel me one more time
I learn to love myself
And I don't need no one else
And when a love moves on,
'Cause it gets cold
Then another moves in
And it can fill the hole
I'm one more hopeful
Lying on the bedroom floor
No sense trying
When the whole thing drops
You lose your nerve
I hope we get what we deserve!

Living in Philadelphia
"look in the mirror
can you see
if living is real
or just imaginary
there is no reflection
there is no connection
there is only imagination
only a hint
of the real me
of the soulful me
of the fragile me
that you can see
living in philly"

trapped in the Canon 20D

c for curiosity

Living in Philadelphia
"the world is upside down
in my hometown
because i have a spirit
that fills me with cravings
that fills me with laughter
that fills me with joy
that tumbles me over
that tumbles me under
that spins my world
out of control
out of the mold
out of this feeling
comes a state of mind
comes a state of place
that is here to erase
the present, the past
that is here to create
the future for me
in my philly"
