"birds got to fly…"
- Fish got to swim, birds got to fly,

A Walk in the Park
A walk in the park.
I've got to get some sense

I`m in the dark.

Where I`m being led.
I`d give the world
To set the clock back
And act like a man.

When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.

And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,

Dharma
The way the dog trots out the front door
every morning
without a hat or an umbrella,
without any money
or the keys to her doghouse
never fails to fill the saucer of my heart
with milky admiration.
Who provides a finer example

Lyrics to Tiptoe Through the Tulips
Tiptoe to the window,
By the window
That is where I’ll be,
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me.
