The eyes within my head cn see the world: The sun is saying good-bye o'er the sea The clouds of dif'rent colours look at thingsg My mind is stirring all inside of me. The sunset, it has gone by long ago. The moon, o'er the horizen, now looks down On night clubs, buildings, houses and apartment And me, in my shack on the other side of town. S, I do not really care 'bout living here, Although I cannot live another way. I sat and fished, and watched the seagulls fly, And welcomed bed and sleep at the close of day. I do not think that I could ever stand Being in cities, with no rest e'er to find. So, as an outsider, I sit and watch the people Running everywhere with confused minds. So here I lie, confusion by my side, My world wrapped 'round me, shelter from the d Not fighting battles I can never Wing And Waiting for the New World to begin . . . ing joel DECEMBER The sparkling, bright, cold falling snow Chills the world outside my door While I sit by my fire, and shadows I throw From my place by the fire down onto the floor. I'd go out, but I never again want to look At the snow-covered roads with the children at play. So I sit with my fire, my dreams, and my book, Quietly relaxing while thoughts slip away. I used to go out when I was a young lad: There was snow to slide down on and fun to enjoy, But these gold days are o'er, all my fun had, All my good times have ceased, I'm no longer a boy. The orange-red fire keeps me cozy and warm, While yellow dragon spreads salt to make the snow m And children stop play at the end of the storm. They are sad, I am oldg they must know how I felt. And cocoa on table now warms my lined face, With black coats and boots sadly lining the wall. All these things are December, I stay in my place, And the cascading crystals continue to fall. joel Nathanson 39 Nathanson 6
