... And though I've put you down in music

And I've put you down in paint

You know I've never really put you down

At all...

Here's my song "HANGOVER", recorded at home last evening.

I hope you enjoy listening to it...

HANGOVER

--------------

© Cyrus Dali Vesuvala

It ain't fair that you're still on my mind

It ain't fair, though you don't try

Damn! Damn! damn!...here you are again

I am what I am, and I ain't what I ain't…

And though I've put you down in music and I've put you down in paint

You know I've never really put you down at all

And though the words and music seem to be a little quaint,

It's rock 'n' roll, it's rock 'n' roll…

APPLEWEED

----------------

PART I: GARDEN IN THE SKY

 Exploding supernova in a Western sky:

Mystic dark portent, or the evil eye?

Seems every hour another star in our galaxy dies:

Tell me, where did all the Appleweed take root

In our garden in the sky?

 

Like faceless marionettes in some grotesque display,

Contorted caricatures from some frightening play;

Sometimes it seems that all our dreams of Passion’s endless spark

Are lost in green, or torn in twain, we take

Small solace in the dark…

 

My heart cries: Lovely Lady, don’t lose heart,

Don’t lose your peace of mind.

Don’t let yourself be torn apart,

Don’t leave this love behind.

If you feel that on your part

You gave too much, too free;

Lovely Lady, if you must lose heart,

Then please, re-lose your heart to me…

 

  PART II: TWO STRANGE WORLDS

 My love lives in two strange worlds: in one, I’m just a fool:

One world short of Eden, one beyond Ultima Thule

One world where it’s difficult to predict day and night:

Confused by alternating tidal waves

Of hate and love and spite…

 

And, in one of those two strange worlds, reality can bend;

Here, every argument’s a means to justify an end-

Through nights of helpless waiting, there is nothing I can do:

We never know, when I lie down with you,

Which world we’ll wake up to…

 

My heart cries: Lovely Lady, don’t lose heart,

Don’t lose your peace of mind.

Don’t let yourself be torn apart,

Don’t leave this love behind.

If you feel that on your part

You gave too much, too free;

Lovely Lady, if you must lose heart,

Then please, re-lose your heart to me…
