The wind and winter bites piercing
and I want to lie closer to you
and outside everything is quiet.
...
I kissed a girl
and something more was there,
than the touch of lips
and something of her soul
...
I saw death take her toll
and friends and enemy soldiers fall
and maybe they all went
to a much better place to be.
...
In Heidelberg we stayed in a white house
against the ranges
and there were always
sweet yellow corn that Mom had planted
...
It was at the dance floor
under the Neelsie,
where I saw her sokkie
and every movement
...
Last night you were with me
and the big old dog
could not lie still
and she turned
...
For the parrot in its cage
the open spaces,
of the jungle remain
and unfolds in its mind.
...
If no man is an island
and if every human being
has an impact on all others,
then why can man not find peace
...
I started to love you
when I met you
and that love will forever,
be part of me.
...
Sometimes I cannot cry
while others round me weep
and sometimes life claims
that a man must be a rock
...
