Jim: Our Rocket Man

She packed my bags last night pre-flight 
Zero hour nine a.m. 
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then 
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife 
It's lonely out in space 
On such a timeless flight 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/e/elton+john/rocket+man_10099416.html ] 
And I think it's gonna be a long long time 
Till touch down brings me round again to find 
I'm not the man they think I am at home 
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man 
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone 

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids 
In fact it's cold as hell 
And there's no one there to raise them if you did 
And all this science I don't understand 
It's just my job five days a week 
A rocket man, a rocket man 

Sweet Child O' Mine

She's got a smile it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine


She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh,
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, oh
Where do we go?

Oh,
Where do we go now?
No, no, no, no, no, no
Sweet child,
Sweet child of mine.

The Day God Spoke To Me

Dear Brother

There is a voice inside me 

Reminding me you're gone 

I just can't believe I won't sit with you 

Around a bomb fire again and see you smile,

Or see that look you always gave me, 

You know the one when you're telling me I'm crazy!  

I can't see you or touch you or hug you but

I take you with me throughout my day

When I do something silly I hear you say, "Good call, sis!" 

When I stand up for myself, I feel you pat me on my back, 

Actually, you're closer than ever now, 

I can hug you any time and you hug me back

I don't know when this voice will leave me or if it ever will

But I do know with time and your love, I will surely heal 

Love,

Sis

I Can Feel it Coming in The Air Tonight

That song played -

I heard it's meaning
And then I heard what it meant to you -
I felt it in your eyes,
In your intense searching -
When you cranked it up and
Begged me to be silent and listen

You see, I was there too and
I saw what it did to you and
Felt what it did to me -
Creating in me
A yearning to grow up and
Confront the evil
That I still, once in a while,
See in his eyes

That song played
The other night and I remember
The ironic conclusion
That song meant to you
and him...
Because you both played it for me
Loud and intense
Giving me the motion now
To crank it up
Feel it
And wonder
And still confront
The evil

"I can feel it coming in
the air tonight"
