Down to the river

I came down to the river
Where the river boat swept

I came down to the river where
the river boat swept

The leaves were on the water
Where the willow wept

I came down to the river
Where the willow wept


I came down to the river where the
willow wept
The duck weeds were my pillow
And my dreams they kept

I came down to the river
Where the river bed slept
And all the holy Ash keys
in the whirlpool swept

I came down to the river
Where the little creatures crept
And they brought their sleeves
Up to their knees, and leapt

They splashed inside the river
On a day not to forget

And let your lovers leave
On the river with no regrets

I came down to the river where
the river boat swept


Its good to believe in
The power of love yet
I came down to the river where
the willow tree wept

I came down to the river
Full of time and met
The river nymph of the mountain
Who said don't forget
Everyone must give something back
For something they get
When I came down to the river where
the river boats swept

Veszprém City

Neon street
Electric lamps of the money exchanges
Staring out at blinking black
Rapid city blue
Old city slowing down
Flashing like a strumpet
Boldly facing the facade of names
Blaring out their light trumpet
But so quiet it is loud
Down the street with out a crowd

What to do in the cold snow flaked town
Encrusted in this mint sugar icing
Crunching in its sickly sweet
Hansel and Gretel Christmas town
Tinsel town

They're wrapping the Kings and Queens into body bags
They look less regal now more diplomatic
Ready to negotiate their captors conditions
Ready for to pay a kings ransom
But without the king, who will pay?
Who really wants their king back
Just a figure head you need preserved in tact
Through the winter in side a sack

I met a drummer on a hill

I met a drummer on a hill

The dogs did bark and the ravens trill

The willows wept their sobbing will

She beat the drum for those to come

For the long gone in the ever after

She beat the drum for the song

In a chain of children’s laughter

She beat it for the future

She beat it for the past

She beat it with a suture

Of words that ever last

And her song sung out about

The wide and rolling valley

And it caught in the ears of deer

And it fought the canyons in a sally

And it called all the men to arms

It called the dogs of war

It called the women from the houses

It called them rich or poor

It cried yes, again, again

Once more into the fight

It called them up into the fore

The fray, the golden light

I met a drummer on a hill

Who drummed a different beat

It made the earth and sun stand still

And all the people dance their feet
