Virginia
Virginia, stay here with me
And let's build a house
Down on top of the lake
Or up in the onion trees
With a rhinoceros pen
And a basketball court
Let's laugh at the neighbors
They're so unoriginal
Stay here with me
And we'll dream up a plan
Made out of rainbow water
We'll form a new band
You'll play the singer
and I'll play the flute
and we'll dress up like KISS
And wear high heeled boots
And make out with strangers
Running naked through
The lobby of a federal express
Terminal in the Berlin airport
Stay here with me
Down here on the ground
Don't please fade Away
Please don't don't make a sound
With those tubes in your mouth
And the sound of the respirator
Are you asleep?
Please wake up...and
Stay here with me
In this hospital room
Don't leave me here
With these strangers
Their mouths full of
Words I can't understand
Stay here with me
You're my very best friend
in the whole wide world
Let's build a house
With a basketball court
and a rhinoceros pen

Lovin' it.
i have a feeling it might already be a song he is workin on....
Definitely one of your better ones Bob!!! Thanks for sharing
I love your ability to write things that might only make sense to you, or a few other people. How you can make it so personal, and somehow, I can feel close to it, as if I were in on your private jokes. Something in the way you put it all together makes it flow so easily. I really look forward to more from you!
It makes me sad and I can really relate to it.
The only thing I feel like doing after reading this is holding you and hope it makes you feel better.
Thanks for sharing, Bob.
