advice

(Down the road from your memory track 10)

life is hard

life is a bust

it’ll give you a charge

it’ll turn you to dust

through it all    a few good friends

come and disappear

fill your bucket

one drop at a time

with moonbeams and starlight

and a hint of divine

through it all    honey baby

keep my love near

wet like steam

and dry like smoke

carry your dreams

tell a few jokes

through it all    don’t be afraid

to shed a few tears

do what you must

then what you can

sometimes you trust

sometimes you can’t

through it all    my daughter

keep your eyes clear

go to the basket weavers

they know how to care for the heart

avoid the unbelievers

who drink up only the dark

through it all    when you have the chance 

lift up your beer

go to the potters

they care for the hands

and when you spot her

love her demands

through it all     sweet one

I’ll be in your corner to cheer

through it all    my love

you’re the one who I hold most dear
