Thin IceThe ice is thin, the ice is thin -
the shore more distant year by year,
and nearly sixty since I left it now.

There is no going back again.
And I am old yet not so very old -
I bless the ice. I pray for cold.
Cool BluesI'm stopping at the stop signs,
I'm signaling my turns.
I am trying to be cool,
I know about what burns.

I'm older than my daddy,
I'm not walking in his shoes.
He ate his milk and honey,
and you know he paid his dues.

Green glass on the sidewalk
that I don't always go around -
because my sole is solid
I just hear a crunching sound.

I sit at my favorite table,
it's the one where you are too -
I love to sit and listen
as you tell me what is new.

Soldiers on the street,
moon in the sky -
owl in a tree
getting ready to fly.

I hear voices in my head
as I fall asleep at night.        &#
Getting Worse BluesI was broke when I met you, baby,
and now I'm deep in debt.
I was broke when I met you, baby,
and now I'm deep in debt.
They say love is full of riches
but I haven't seen them yet.

I was tired when I met you, baby,
and now I'm tireder still.
I was tired when I met you, baby,
and now I'm tireder still.
To get up in the morning
takes a great force of will.

I was sorry when I met you, baby,
and I am sorrier now.
I was sorry when I met you, baby,
and I am sorrier now.
I don't think this love is working
like it should somehow.
Saying So BluesI had a sweet little woman
and I never did her wrong.
But one day she told me
she was going to move on.

I said to her, "Baby,
have you lost your mind?
Have I ever abused you,
have I been unkind?"

She said, "Slim, I love you,
you are sweet as a peach.
But there are places you go
that I cannot reach.

"You keep so much hid, Slim,
and I do not know
if all that you hide
is like what you show."

I said to her, "Baby,
I don't know what to say."
She said, "Well that's it, Slim,"
and she left me that day.

So I'm here by myself
wondering what I should do,
not trying to hide
that I'm feeling blue.

The blue square-ish areas seem to be dancing to the melody in the painting. Brilliant! :stereo:
