ALL GONE AWAY FAR BLUES are Lyrics I wrote after almost four weeks of havin' a really, really BAD VIRUS take over a lot of my Life Energy in spite of Blue and Birdsong....it's been a bit of a Muse, ironically enough: I'm writing like a crazy woman, since I just can't move a'tall....sigh and sing...sigh and sign them Blues.....

ALL GONE AWAY FAR BLUES

CHORUS

Where Time and Space go
I'm gone away far
Gone away far to where memories go
And I ain't gonna lie
It's been such a good Time
That I'm never bein' ready
To ever go home
____________________

Here where it's quiet, the world is just dreamin' -
Life's breathin' me out and it's breathin' me in...
I ain't got no notion to even go travelin' -
This funny old body has no will to win....

Not givin' up Hope - I'm just givin' up Justice:
Just can't see the way to go on without pain...
Whatever I've found in this Life is so special,
I think I've 'bout gotten all that I can gain....

CHORUS
____________________

So beat the drum slowly, Babe, I'm about ready
To let it all go or to keep it goin' on...
I love to feel rain and I love to feel sunshine -
There's so many reasons to sing all life long....

So take my hands now, Dear, and hold them and warm them -
I want to keep kissin' and I want to love you...
There's so many ways that I want to keep livin',
I can't believe Old Death is tryin' to break through....

CHORUS
____________________

I'll give myself over for song and for weepin' -
I'll hand myself over to joy and to dance...
I'll lay on the grass and I'll let the sky fill me -
I'll take on my Life and I'll give it a chance....

Cuz the winds of sweet Spring and the clouds are all wavin'
Me on like the waves wash the sands from the sea...
As long as there's breath in this hard-workin' soul of mine
I'll live my life and I'll let these Blues be....
