Random Acts of Mind by Dones

They sat near one another at the water’s edge
I’ll say “they” because “we” is too hard to say
And he told her what he’d come so far to tell her
And with tears in her eyes she said it can’t be that way
He felt like his wells were dry
And I left the ring down at the riverside
He […]

I feel the need to delve into the mystery
To say some things you might not understand
To swim a league in the sorrow of this place
And be sustained by unseen hands
I feel the need to sing a song
That wrestles with the divine notion
That blood atones, that death completes
That joy can supercede emotion
Because the wilderness will be […]

Will You find me in the valley
I’m afraid I’ve lost my way
I was up there on the mountain
But I’m not up there today
There were thousands at our wedding
There were thousands when she died
So will you find me in the valley
And collect the tears I’ve cried
I can hardly see her face now
warm but flickering like a […]

I’m starting to see
just how I get so lost while I’m looking at the book
inside the Counselor’s door
And starting to read
I lose track of the time and I forget just what it was
that I had come here for
CHORUS
But I’m learning to remember
Oh I’m learning to remember
A walk in the rain
can be so painful if you’ve […]

You talk of hating war
But where’s your own peacetime?
You don’t love anymore
All my children
You linger in your mind
“everyone’s so unkind”
But you forget about the mines you laid on your land
I know the plans I have for you
I know the things that I want for you to do
I know the plans I have for you
and it […]

Tonight’s Without A Trace was probably the best hour of drama I’ve seen on TV in a long, long time. It was a scathing indictment of public and media bias, sexism, and racism. If you missed it, you really missed out. And with that, a very special Daily Dose of Chaffer:
Go find John
hiding in the […]

Tell me a story that’ll make me feel
Something far-flung but something real
Something that’s human but not depraved
Somebody in danger, but somebody still saved
Joshua sat them children down
He said I ain’t no Moses but I ain’t no clown
And I know how that river’s wide
But if you follow me we’ll make it to the other side
CHORUS
And I’m […]

If you’re a Leigh Nash fan, go sign up for her Street Team, the “Legionnaires“.

Easily my favorite Don Chaffer/Waterdeep song, hands down.
Oh, the winter of emotions
Sometimes steals into my head
It’s the tundra of the shutdown
It’s the burying the dead
And I’d like to make my springtime
But I have no real recourse
‘Cept to wait on some long loving
From some deep and pure source
And You lay me down
You whisper somehow
I can hear […]

We believed it was time to lift off from the land of Vertigo
The captain said “despite the wind and tide, you will have to row.”
Will that mean the ones who do not wish to row won’t wish to go?
Ma was mawkish cause the house we’d left we’d surely never know again.
We search for planets where […]
