Boss Tunes Pt1: Ripple by The Grateful Dead

-

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine

And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,

Would you hear my voice come thru the music,

Would you hold it near as it were your own?

Its a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,

Perhaps they're better left unsung.

I don't know, don't really care

Let there be songs to fill the air.

Ripple in still water,

When there is no pebble tossed,

Nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,

If your cup is full may it be again,

Let it be known there is a fountain,

That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,

Between the dawn and the dark of night,

And if you go no one may follow,

That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,

When there is no pebble tossed,

Nor wind to blow.

But if you fall you fall alone,

If you should stand then who's to guide you?

If I knew the way I would take you home.

La dee da da da, la da da da da, da da da, da da, da da da da da

La da da da, la da da, da da, la da da da, la da, da da.

I fooking hate Mondays (especially if I've had to work over the weekend). So if you, like me, have problems dealing with them Monday-blues syndrome, here's a little something to help ease the comedown. Its a classic tune from the Grateful Dead LP American Beauty which made me desert island discs.

Hope you guys out there will take the time to check out the video & certainly hope it improves yer mood. I know it has, mine. Turn on, tune in & fooking zone out!!!

ps:Love this song & have thoughtfully provided lyrics fer impromptu karaoke session. Please leave yer comments bout what you think & hope yer Monday is no Boomtown Rats experience . . .
