Song Excerpts

FRANKLIN´S TOWER

Uncle John, Vocals

Music by Terrapin Family Band

with Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead)

Terrapin Crossroads, San Rafael, CA

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

CITY OF GOLD

Uncle John, vocals, acoustic guitar

Sweetwater Music, Mill Valley, CA

Soundboard recording

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

TANGLED UP IN BLUE

Uncle John, vocals, acoustic guitar

Caffe Lena, Saratoga Springs, NY

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

RIPPLE

Uncle John, Vocals,

Music by Terrapin Family Band

with Grahame Lesh & Brian Lesh

Video recording @

Terrapin Crossroads, San Rafael, CA

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?

EYES OF THE WORLD

Uncle John, Vocals,

Music by Terrapin Family Band

with Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead)

Video recording @

Terrapin Crossroads, San Rafael, CA

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

SCARLET BEGONIAS

Uncle John, vocals

Music by Terrapin Family Band

Terrapin Crossroads, San Rafael, CA

"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, I´d been there before, been there before

Well, I ain´t always right, but I´ve 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 ain´t nothing wrong with the way she moves
Or scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues
And there´s nothing wrong with the look that´s 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
Everybody´s playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band
