When I think of all the good wines I have tasted
I loved those good wines.
When I think of all the pure time that's been wasted
I miss that pure time.
When I was drinking
there was no thinking
I thoughtI knew the right thing
it came to be so frightening
the time that I was losing
finally found conclusion
by a bubbling greenwood stream.

When I think of all the good friends that were lovers,
I love those good friends.
When I think of all the good friends I have covered
I miss those good friends.
Some of them were dying
I was always crying.
I still miss their talking
I'd love to see them walking
these memories I'm draining
as tender as they came in
to the living loving stream.

Well now the bell tolls sounding precious time
Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring always fall in line.
I miss those good friends
by the bubbling greenwood stream.
I need my good friends
in the living loving stream.

When I think of all the good sleep I have wasted
I need that good sleep.
When I think of all the good deeds that I've tasted
I'll do more good deeds.
When I was faking
hearts I was breaking
Now I'm realizing
to myself no lying
good friends still beside me
and the memories I need
come from the living loving stream

ETHome~
A little different, and pleasurable, from your pen.

'I'd love to see them walking
these memories I'm draining
as tender as they came in
to the living loving stream.'


What loving thoughts.

I like seeing all your different poetic faces here of late..
your styling my sweet Van-pal ... looking good

~Till We Get the Healing Done~
Van Morrison

Down those old ancient streets
Down those old ancient roads
Baby there together we must go
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
Till you're satisfied with your life
Till you're satisfied with your life
Till you're satisfied with your life
And it's running right, and it's running right

Till you deal with the poison inside
Sometimes you've got to sit down and cry
When you deal with the poison inside
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done

Till you feel the tingle up your spine
Till you're satisfied and you're mine
Till you feel a tingle up your spine
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done

Till you live in the glory of the One
Till you live in the land of the sun
Till you feel like your life has just begun
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done

Till we dwell in the house of the Lord
Till you don't have to worry no more
Till you open a brand new world
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done

Till it makes you feel alright
Till you're satisfied with your life
Till you know you live in the Light
Till we get the healing done
Oh till we get the healing done

Till you look at the mountains every day
Till you wash all your troubles away
And you live right here in the day
Till we get the healing done
Oh till we get the healing done

Oh till it's Truth and it's beauty and it's grace
Till you've finally found your true place
Till you know your original face
Till we get the healing done
Oh child, till we get the healing done

Oh when everything's going right
Till you're satisfied with your life
Till you're living in the Light
Till we get the healing done
Oh till we get the healing done

Oh when you feel it, when you feel it in your soul
Baby, and you really know
That you reap just what you sow
When we get the healing done
Oh till we get the healing done
Till you know that it's working every time
Till you work it out in your mind
And you know it straight down the line
Till you get the healing done
Oh make no worry till we get the healing done

Oh we gonna go back, back to our favourite place
Oh look at it again
See it all through different eyes
When we get the healing done
Oh when we get the healing done

Oh we're living for the grace of the Lord
Baby feel so good about it all
Oh give thanks every day
Till we get the healing done
Oh till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done

Oh baby, baby till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
Baby you got to stay
Till we get the healing done

If it takes to the break of day
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
You got to stay all night long
Till we get the healing done



Sprayed across my heart and hers
Danced butterflies in the wild
This angel, this woman ,
who loves me with the innocence of a child.

ethome,
A living loving stream of thoughts and feelings you've shared here.
Was a pleasure to read.  Nicely done.

ethome,

Wonderful writing here.  Take those lessons you have learned from life and use them to find your happiness my friend.  You deserve it.     Beautifully written.
