Old Eyes

Old eyes, old lives
Looking out from photographs
Days gone, living on
Looking out here from the past
When you're young there's no time to look back
Seasons change there's always somewhere to go
When you're old all those memories come back
How could that have been me? Where did time go?

Carol She's a Silver Lining
Lyrics by Rick Ferriss
There's a reason that is walking close beside me,
and there's a thief that steals my time and brings me pain,
the thief is doubt I think, but love's a hand that binds me,
you close the door between and both are seen again.
Carol she's a silver lining,
but she doesn't think so sometimes,
'cause she just doesn't feel it anymore.
Carol she's a silver lining,
but she doesn't think so sometimes,
'cause she just doesn't see it anymore
And there's a place I know that's deep within me darlin',
it turns a wheel that turns a ghost that turns the rain (that turns the world),
the wheel is love, the ghosts are spinning all around us,
a rain of joy is here to have us near again.

Here's
© 1991 by Richard Stark Ferriss & Jane Yii
-------------------------------------------------------------------
If ever I'm angry
remind me how it was before what we've been through
and I wasn't in love with you
If ever I'm leaving
remind me how the nights can be so long and cold
when there's no-one to hold you close
Here's to the life that we've been leading
here's to the air that we've been breathing
here's to here
If ever I'm frightened
remind me how it feels to be so free from fear
as when you hold me near
If ever you're crying,
lay your head on down upon my breast my dear
I'll dry away your tears
Here's to the life that we've been leading
here's to the air that we've been breathing
here's to here
and now

Come on over to the other side
words and music by Rick Ferriss, 2012.
Come on over to the other side,
there is nothing that we have to hide.
You can take yourself a look and a see,
you can even stop and talk with me.
There is nothing much you have to do,
just take a step and then a step or two.
It is not so very far away,
you could even be right here today.
And you know I need you,
and I know you need me,
we are just another other that is trying to be,
we may meet someday in the sweet bye and bye,
but till then there is no need to sit alone and cry.
Come on over to the other side,
there is nothing that we have to hide.
You can take yourself a look and a see,
you can even stop and talk with me.

Good Things
lyrics by Richard Stark Ferriss, February 21 2018
Good Things
are happening
every day
all the time!
You don't have make up anything,
You just have to open your eyes.
Good Things
are happening
every day
all the time!
You don't have worry 'bout anything,
You just have to open your mind.
And if the day gets long
while you're waitin' for the end to come,
you can sing this song
and be happy 'till the day is done
Good Things
are happening
every day
all the time!
You don't have make believe anything,
You just have to open your mind,
You just need a little re-minder,
You just have to open your eyes.

Ho Tei Around the Corner

Hotei around the corner
Lyrics by Rick Ferriss
Long ago when the sky was blue
a young man wondered what to do,
so he climbed on up on a mountain top and
sat and sat and sat and sat
'till one fine day when the sky was blue
the young man knew just what to do,
he'd bring joy to everyone and
keep what he needed in a great big bag.
chorus:
Ho-tei, just around the corner
Ho-tei, laughing loud
Ho-tei, don't need nothin' but a
great big bag and a great big smile.
He would go from town to town
back and forth and up and down,
He'd give treats to all the kids and
laugh at all the jokes, even if they weren't funny.
With a penny here and a penny there,
Hotei helped everyone to share,
People liked to give him treats
and he liked to eat 'em so he got a little fat.
chorus (with comin' 'round the corner)
Now, Buddhas come and Buddhas go,
sometimes there's a Buddha but no one knows,
Hotei did not try for fame,
but his generosity still gives today.
chorus x 2 (with just around the corner, then comin' 'round the corner)

Love Finds Us All
02:25
|

|
Under a stone, inside of a wall,
under the surface, love finds us all.
Deep in the night, in the bright of the day,
under the surface, love makes it's way.
and wonder of wonders,
everything changes when anything changes its tune,
wonder of wonders,
nothing and everything dance by the light of the moon.
Love finds us all, love blinds us all,
and under the surface, love binds us all.
Deep in the night, or in the bright of the day,
under the surface, love makes it's way.
Love finds us all, love blinds us all,
but under the surface, love binds us all.

Let us sing with our planet
Lyrics by Rick Ferriss
Let us sing with our planet, as we travel along,
with our many companions, with our stories and songs.
With our love and our anger, with our laughter and fear,
let us sing with our planet, let us sing while we're here.
Now some voices are quiet, and some voices are strong,
but when we sing together, all our voices belong.
In a great congregation, or only alone,
let us sing with our planet, let us sing with our home.
Let us sing with our planet, as we travel along,
with our many companions, with our stories and songs.
With our love and our anger, with our laughter and fear,
let us sing with our planet, let us sing while we're here.
