Between The Two
one man wanted my heart
the other made it bleed
one man made me smile
the other made me plead
one took me for granted
while the other was fair
one man kept me crying
the other really cared
one man hurt me badly
the other made me blue
one left me in april
the other left in june

Blue
blue, blue, blue
it's such a beautiful hue
i love blue
except when i've got the blues
blue, blue, blue
i've always loved blue it's true
i've heard of roses that color too
blue, blue, blue
it's much more than just a hue
it could be true blue like my love for you

Both Sides Of The Fence
his philosophy was
if a cop didn't see it-
he didn't do it
and that's where
his head was at the time
before prison he believed
in free love
shot up heroin
lived in roach infested flats
and danced like a hoodlum
he had a woman once
who left him while
he was still doing time
her parting words 'i must
be free' ring out in
the terror of the night

Breakdown
momma, don't be angry
is it something that we did
momma, don't ignore us
as we climb on top your bed
momma, we are hungry
it is past time we were fed
momma, you can't feed us
if you don't get out of bed
we're just little children
and we do not understand
why you lie there staring
at our tiny outstretched hands
momma, please forgive us
you're so far away it seems
we're young and we don't know
just what nervous breakdown means
Faith Elizabeth Brigham
