Slacken

Relax your muscles and slacken your jaw
A tight and unyielding grip on ropes and sails will result
In wear and tear to your vessel and crew
So ease off and look where the wind has a'blown you
Relax your muscles and slacken your jaw
Let the tide and the current lift you wholly from the floor
Let's drift awhile in pirate style at the mercy of the breeze
And our seas will roll from east to west, north through south with ease
Relax your muscles and slacken your jaw
We float in the darkness just a pocketful of stardust
Matter that's journeyed through oceans of time
Inert, then alive, now a million billion light years down the line

Let's all sing together !
Making sweet harmony !
Today is the most beautiful day
Though I can't see the sky
Today is great because I'm thinking of you dear
And your sexy body thrills my mind
I want to hold you tightly through the day
And squeeze you in that special way
Love you darling come what may
Maybe if I please you right you'll stay
Seasons come and go
We build ourselves a home
And now we've been together girl
For twenty years and more
But I still feel the same as I always have as I always do mama
When you come through that door
I want to hold you tightly through the day
And squeeze you in that special way
Love you darling come what may
I must have done something right 'cos you stayed

Early Earth

The water is cold but I'm hungry
And my sister has already caught one
It's the season when the gods will provide this food for us all
And the means to keep my children warm
The wind blows over the marshes
Where the spirits foretell to the elders
It's the season when our rivals might enter our lands for the hunt
Will we need to fight, reaffirm our right on this early earth
I play in the grass with my brothers
And my sister pretends to be animals
It's the season when a girl can be paired with a boy as a wife
She has a life to live, not only with us, on this early earth
The smoke drifts over the fire
I can see my ancestors moving
It's the season when they come to remind us of what they know
When the moon and sun in the twilight are one they appear
In this early earth

Faithful People

Ain't no changes in the badlands
With the Padres in the air
And the girl who starts to wonder
Why she's been there so long
There were mountains deep and purple
Sweet as James Taylor's sweet guitar
On a ranch off Santa Barbara
And it's been there so long
Then we grooved right down to Haight Street
Because we love those seven hills
Spent some time with the faithful people
And they've been there so long
Now I'm diggin' writing this song
It's the first one in a while
Every time I think of California
I feel I've been there so long
