Up in the mornin’ Out on the job Work like the devil for my pay But that lucky old [silly] sun got nothin’ to do But roll around heaven all day.
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids Sweat till I’m wrinkled and gray While that lucky old [silly] sun got nothin’ to do But roll around heaven all day.
Dear Lord above, can’t you know I’m pining, tears all in my eyes Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise
Show me that river, take me across Wash all my troubles away Like that lucky old [silly] sun, give me nothing to do But roll around heaven all day
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise Show me that river, take me across Wash all my troubles away Like that lucky old [silly] sun, give me nothing to do But roll around heaven all day

I'm a young man in an old man's body, trying to catch up to myself, trying to find pieces of me I left back in a disconnected youth and the early years of manhood. I'm a stereotype of many in my generation who can play the 'blame game', yell 'foul', and 'let's start over'. But, we are what we are, the sum of all the scary kid-emotions we experienced, the gin mills and piano bars that became our sandboxes of pleasure - lotus eaters of the best (or, worst) kind, the love affairs that did not quite settle us down, the sad poetry and songs written in bars and motels along the way... A Dreamer! A Wanderlust! The world needs such fools as we to write our books, our poetry, our songs, to offset the madness that plagues the soul.
I've written fourteen books, over three hundred blog posts, in search of those pieces left somewhere in many parts of the globe. You can preview my books on the next page. There's even a Blog page...all my posts are not showing on this recently created blog page, but, if you want to read more, go to my official blog site and check out the archives: http://www.thefinalcurtain1
Writing for me is therapy for the soul.
