Letters Were Hidden



Your letters were hide
in a dusty tattered box
Imagine my surprise when
I picked at the lock
I was transported
Imagine my shock!
Back to Nineteen sixty nine
Camping in the mud at Woodstock!

Nothings been peaceful
The way we wanted
Sometimes I think our
Love was haunted.
So far away brings
Chords to Carol King
You sent me words
So Far Away stings
I could learn to sing.
Things that have happened
Would make your head spin

We slept on the ground
For four days and nights
Nothing but sound.
Sly and the Family Stone
We’re playing that night.
We woke to Gracie Slick
The Who Tommy at first sunlight
.Whike we sang along
With all our might!

Nothings been peaceful
The way that we dreamed
Now if find out nothing
Was as it seemed!
Our love was haunted.
So Far Away stings
You had sent the words
For me to sing.

    Mud at Woodstock. Joplin, Hendrix, Dylan. Ravished youngsters hating the war. Trying out LSD. WHOOPEE…Not. Caressing other’s flesh and thoughts of freedom, peace and sticking it to the Man. What a Plan. Just a pipe dream. You should view the current movie Jesus Revolution starring Kelsey Grammar.
    Real answers there Doc…Wayne Blair…videos easy to find on youtube.
