Ahhhhhhh, more Leonard. This man has the sweetest voice.
The birds they sang
at the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.
Ah the wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again
the dove is never free.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.............
(rising from behind the bar)
Huh? Did I hear somebody singing?
I've been down here on my hands and knees for the last hour, cleaning up the whipped cream.
Of course, BillW helped. (pat, pat) Good doggie.
lobo, if you would please - glad to have been of assistance
thankee my lovely little lady
It's so nice to have a wolf around the house....... thanks Eva and BillW..........but sit here with me on the sofa by the fireplace and have a cup of coffee or whatever you would like. Wassau and Sal will finish up.
Fifi? Coffee please with lots of milk
Whew! Glad that's all done! I think I WILL join you on the sofa. Bailey's on the rocks for me, please. It's been a long, long day... (putting feet up & taking a deep breath)...oh, this sofa feels good.
It is a warm and snuggly place, here on the sofa. It's not quite cool enough for a fire, but it won't be long now...........in the meantime, we can swim and relax here on the sofa.
Has anyone been up to the tree house to visit with the blue caterpillar lately? I've just been there and now I feel quite grand.
Wassau joins them both for coffee and they all make beautiful music together. I think sometimes people forget that although Elton John has a lovely voice and is an accomplished musicaian he would be nothing without those beatiful lyrics of Bernie Taupin. I love the whole Tumbleweed Connection album, its probably cos I head it at a very vulnerable part of my life.
Lets all go and play in the hot tub, I'm exhausted after writing that letter to Blatham's daughter. I sent it Pony Express he is a former Mountie !!
The hot tub sounds good. I've been on my feet all day...need to relax. No, no coffee for me, thank you. Perhaps just a nice glass of wine?
And here's Lola in her little black bikini and a tall glass of champagne stepping into the hot tub with her friends. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......... this is what life's about..................
Lola, I love the bikini and I love the bits where there is no bikini too !!
Eva, I agree about the wine, lets open a new bottle and I'll bring it to the tub. Chilled Chardonnay and a hot tub, nice combination.
So there's just me and you two lovely ladies, now what can we do I wonder ? Ummmmm
I love bits and bites.............
...and bottles!
I believe we've emptied this one, Wassau. How about another? Oh no, don't take it away! We might want to....spin it?
Suddenly the night has grown colder.
The god of love preparing to depart.
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
They slip between the sentries of the heart.
Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;
And radiant beyond your widest measure
They fall among the voices and the wine.
It's not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust
Say goodbye to alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to alexandra lost.
Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
Do not say the moment was imagined;
Do not stoop to strategies like this.
As someone long prepared for this to happen,
Go firmly to the window. drink it in.
Exquisite music. alexandra laughing.
Your firm commitments tangible again.
And you who had the honor of her evening,
And by that honor had your own restored
Say goodbye to alexandra leaving;
Alexandra leaving with her lord.
Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
Do not say the moment was imagined;
Do not stoop to strategies like this.
As someone long prepared for the occasion;
In full command of every plan you wrecked
Do not choose a coward's explanation
That hides behind the cause and the effect.
And you who were bewildered by a meaning;
Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed
Say goodbye to alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to alexandra lost.
Say goodbye to alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to alexandra lost.
Alexandra Leaving -- Cohen
