Into The Lush With Angels

Round and round

I am an old human

Named after my father

The wild garden I planted

Grows all on its own

Make me an angel

That flies me to Eden

Make me a garden

That is ready to show

Dreams are like lightning

Thunder is desire

This mountain top garden

Rumbles with both when it gets mowed

The garden grows older

There is much more to look at

Some free ramblin' Angelica 

Has decided to settle in

Just give me one thing

That I can hold on to

To believe in this livin'

Is the only thing I know

Make me an angel

That flies me to Eden

Make me a garden 

That is ready to show

There is fly poison in the meadow

The maintenance gardener is twitching

He's been out there mowing

Since he woke up today

Just give me one thing

I can hold on to

To believe in this livin'

Is the only thing I know

With gratitude and apologies to Bonnie Raitt and John Prine

Bonnie has been singing to me the last couple of weeks out there in the Lush

I want to retire

To spend more time in my own garden

There is a short way to go

Dreams are like lighting

There is a thundering desire

Round and round

I am an old human

Named after my father

There is a short time to go
