Something's In The Water I know a man for all seasons, he's out there on the street He's got a hunger in his, dead on his feet He talks in riddles, he talks in rhyme What a story he could tell If the good Lord gives him time Life was easy, now he lives on hope Hung up on drinking and all kinds of dope Drifting on the clouds, rolling on the sea There's something in the water And it troubles me Something's in the water Another day over, the seabird folds her wings The songbird sleeps while the nightbird sings It's up there in the clouds and deep down in the sea Well I know something's in the water And it's playing games with me A man for any season, he's out there on the street Wisdom in his eyes, the world at his feet He speaks in riddles, he talks in rhymes, sometimes Could be a higher truth is written Somewhere between the lines

Take It Or Leave It Take it or leave it,this is all I've got for sale Take it leave it, I know it's not much of a deal Right now it's the only one I can offer you So take it or leave it but you better believe it's true Maybe tomorrow there'll be something else And maybe we'll borrow a little time to ourselves Who knows where the road is leading to So take it or leave it but you better believe it's true You came to me with your eyes open wide Now anyone can see you're not satisfied Nobody told you this would be an easy ride And nobody sold you any false alibis Some things just don't go like you want them to Take it or leave it but you'd better believe it's true

Fruit On The Vine There were good days, and there were bad days All the things we left behind So many strange encounters In an uncertain time But I got you and you got me And we're doing fine We've got a harvest coming home And fruit on the vine Let me know what I can do Maybe share a time with you Making something out of nothing When there's nothing more to do Sometimes the good times can be hard to find But we got a harvest coming home And fruit on the vine Call me if you need me and I'll be around I'll meet you in the twilight when the sun goes down When the wells running dry and the sun won't shine We'll see the harvest coming home And fruit on the vine.

Just Let It Roll Sometimes all you need Is a little, Jimmy Reed To get you through the night Sometimes, all it takes Is the music that he makes To make you feel alright Let it roll, anyway you want to Let it roll And your troubles start slipping out of sight And sometimes all you need Is a little Jimmy Reed

about

“Fruit On The Vine”. A few new tunes as the summer dims and the nights draw in. A couple from me and a couple from my old 'Red Sierra's' partner, Terry Butters, with our chums Dave Sutherland on double bass, Sam Lumsden on the drums and Karen Jillard with an 'oo' or two. “The harvest's coming home and there's fruit on the vine”. Lots of love, GS x
