There is a City of Love
Surrounded by stars and the powers above
Far from this world and the stuff dreams are
made of
There is a City of Love

She opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century
Every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin coal
Pourin off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to
you
Tangled up in blue
FRANKLINīS TOWER

In Franklin's tower the four winds sleep Like four lean hounds, the lighthouse keep Wildflower seed on the sand and wind May the four winds blow you home again

Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world
The heart has its beaches, its homeland and
thoughts of its own
Wake now, discover that you are the song
that the morning brings
But the heart has its seasons, it's evenings
and songs of its own

Merry run around, navegando arriba y
abajo
Buscando un empujón en alguna dirección
Lo tengo desde arriba, no es nada que puedas detener
Seņor, sabes que hicieron una buena conexión.
Se aman, Seņor, puedes ver que es verdad.
Seņor, puedes ver que es verdad, Seņor, puedes ver que es verdad.
Podría pasar su tiempo en otra línea.
Pero sabes que él eligió este lugar junto a ella.
No te interpongas en el camino, no hay nada que puedas decir.
Nada que necesites agregar o hacer
Se aman, Seņor, puedes ver que es verdad.
Seņor, puedes ver que es verdad, Seņor, puedes ver que es verdad.
Lord, you can see itīs true.

"From the other direction she was
calling my eye
It could
be an illusion, but I might as well try, might as well try
She wore
scarlet begonias tucked into her curls
I knew
right away she was not like other girls, other girls
In
the thick of the evening when the dealing got rough
She was
too pat to open and too cool to bluff
As I
picked up my matches & was closing the door
Had
one of those flashes, Iīd been there before, been there before
Well, I ainīt always
right, but Iīve never been wrong
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song
Once in awhile you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right
There
ainīt nothing wrong with the way she moves
Or scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues
And thereīs nothing wrong with the look thatīs in her eyes
I had to learn the hard way to let her pass by, let her pass by"
Wind
in the willow is playing "Tea For Two"
The sky was yellow & the Sun was blue
Strangers stopping strangers just to shake their hand
Everybodyīs playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band
THE WHEEL
Uncle John, vocals,
Music by Terrapin Family Band

Terrapin Crossroads, San Rafael, CA
Video recording
Wonīt you
try just a little bit harder
Couldnīt
you try just a little bit more
Wonīt you
try just a little bit harder
Couldnīt
you try just a little bit more
Round, round, Robin run around
Gotta get back where you belong
Little bit harder, just a little bit more
Little bit further than you gone before
Small wheel turn by the fire and rod
Big wheel turn by the grace of God
Everytime that wheel turn īround
Bound to cover just a little more ground
DRAW ME CLOSE
Uncle John, vocals, acoustic guitar
Sweetwater Music, Mill Valley, CA
Soundboard recording
Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend
You and no one else will do
Nothing else can take your place
To feel the warmth of your face
Help me find the way back to you
RIPPLE
Uncle John, vocals,

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come through the music? Would you hold it near as it were your own?
