“My problems are few
If I don't stop to think
The red golden leaves
Scream the song of the sun
The high rolling hills
Give it all in the fall
The hot days are gone... now”

—  Steve Forbert

“So hurting here is where I belong
dreaming a song
Blood on my hands to stay strong
The flowers in the graveyard are all gone
I don't belong
There is no right to heal the wrong
Soup's on hot feelin' like a do or die
I can't throw up don't think i evan want to try”

“There is a blood red circle
On the cold dark ground.
And the rain is falling down.
The church door's thrown open;
I can hear the organ's song.
But the congregation's gone.
My city of ruins.
My city of ruins.”
