John Wayne's Photographs


 This is the silly song i wrote and performed for Peggy, but reminds me of the poet. I've never recorded this before.  


John Wayne photographs

 

A G D

 

There is a flag in her window

Blowing in the breeze

Stars and stripes and geese in flight

Rising high and free

 

There’s heart cut in her table top

Sealed in with glass

Echoing the endless hope of love

With roses in the vase

 

There’s a flutter outside of children’s cries

Flowing along the street

And me like stone on her soft couch

Shuffling my feet

 

Bm  C

 

John Wayne photographs

Hanging on the wall

Hands upon his two six guns

Standing very tall

Riding off into the great sunset

 

E A

Upon a unicorn

 

 

There’s a silly black cat named Jessie (Jessica)

Rolling on her back

Eyes so wide with wonder and dreams

Waiting for a snack

 

There’s a song upon the stereo

Of love and peace and dreams

And she sings with them every word

Bursting at the seams

 

There’s a world of love inside of her

Rolling like the sea

Breaking thunder, roaring surf

I want apart of me
