Sorry
Revised and mixed version – written August 2009
Let it rain all day
I’ve got time
To let the rain fill my mind…
Let it Rain
Pine Top, AZ in August… need I say more?
Love & Light,

Souvenirs – Rusty Cline 10-30-2011
There’s a cup on the counter that proves you were here
A gentle reminder of what once was was clear
Should it be in the sink or with my souvenirs?
The bed is a wreck where you once slept
The love that we shared there it made such a mess
The sheets are reminders of something we kept
I’ve got this feeling that you won’t be back
Is this a pain in my chest or a heart attack
As it stabs my truth or or was that my back
Chorus:
But what I collect now are lines on my face
The gray in my hair it is no disgrace
Its one more reminder of these past few years
Should I wash these sheets or put them with my souvenirs?
There’s a cheap little magnet that I bought in Perth
It pays rent in the kitchen for all that it’s worth
It lights up a spot for all that come here
But it earns its keep among my souvenirs
There’s a folder on my desktop from Portland I think
It’s real swell reminder if I want to wink
At the time spent with you that took all these years
It stands in the my life amoung my souvenirs
But what I collect now are lines on my face
The gray in my hair it is no disgrace
Its one more reminder of these last few years
Should I wash these sheets or put them with my souvenirs?
A tribute to a five year partnership… thank you Joanne!
This song was written and recorded in one take. There was no script, melody or outline, just me a guitar and a microphone, pure stream of consciousness.
What do we do for and encore? – Rusty Cline 9-17-2011
Its a good day to show you the best and worst that I feel
Cause I’m feeling bad and it’s such a deal…
Its a good day to tell you exactly what I’ve on my mind
Cause I’ve got you on my mind and I’m still on my time
Leaving my heart up there on my sleeve
Just won’t stop the way that it bleeds
They always told me that nothing would do what I do
And a moment is something that I wish I could do
Besides all the laughter what did we gain?
Besides all the bleeding why is there pain
What do we do for an encore when encores are all that we do?
How do we take a bow for all we’ve been through?
Lessoned by hope and learning by time leading my answers one at a time
I’m losing my dreams again here in the night
Relax and hold on just let it go
These words comfort a place in my soul
Crowded by new beginnings shoved into old endings
What do you do for an encore when encors are all that you do?
Where do you bleed when your heart’s on your sleeve?
Whose got the truth whose got their needs?
And we’ve got nothign but time on our hands
And the time is running away from me here my friend
What do we encore with nothign to do?
Who do we turn to when nothing is turning to you?
Its belief in my heart that tells me I must let it go
Playing again playing playing so slow
Its just another waltz and a waltz is all I can play
And a good waltz ended I danced to it many days
So long farewell to my old best friend
Hello and hope are all that I have in the end
Turning my heart away from my sleeve
I might seem cold but this is the thing that I need
Watching you run through the reasons you are
Letting me know that your gone by the sound of your car
And the whole world is watching thanks to the tricks that you use
I guess times have changed and this is the way breakups do
What do you do for an encore when encores are all that you know how to do
And what do you with your love when you love is now through
Where do you go for an answer to questions you feel
When you know the answer the answer is sit here and heal
Watching beginnings crash to the end
Watching my love roll down the street once again
Who did what and what was that thing that you said
If we’re all running then who is that lying in bed
What do you do for and encore when encores are all that you do
Who do you turn to when questions are what you produce
Where do you put all the love thats not used today
Like minutes on cell phones the love it just goes away
What do we do for and encore…. the whole world is watching!!!
Withered Philosophy – Rusty Cline 8-9-2011
It’s a withered philosophy – It’s all to be judged
It scampers like mice in the field – Escaping from love
So sweet in your mouth left to dry – Like sugar in wine
It lingers behind eyes to cry – Like grapes on the vine
I’ll follow you where I would lead – You’ll lead me with reins
You’ll cut it if I’ll do the bleeding – You’ll stand in the rain
I’ll follow you where I am leading – I’ll live in your pain
And we’ll go just like a thief in the night – and it cuts like a crime
Just like a crime
Insanity breeds the illusion – that nothing is real
Philosphies come with conclusions – there’s nothing to feel
And if your not your thoughts – then nothing is you
And all that you’ve bought and you’ve sold is now coming true
“It’s not so much what you say
As the manner in which you say it;
It’s not so much the language you use
As the tone in which you convey it;
“Come here!” I sharply said,
And the child cowered and wept.
“Come here”, I said – He looked and smiled
And straight to my lap he crept.
Words may be mild and fair
And the tone may pierce like a dart;
Words may be soft as the summer air
But the tone may break my heart;
For words come from the mind
Grow by study and art –
But tone leaps from the inner self
Revealing the state of the heart.
Whether you know it or not,
Whether you mean or care,
Gentleness, kindness, love and hate,
Envy, anger, are there.
Then, would you quarrels avoid
And peace and love rejoice?
Keep anger not only out of your words –
Keep it out of your voice.” – ~Author Unknown
Home for two days after six weeks in Buenos Aires I was pining for some dancing and missing my friends and connections there and I realized in no uncertain terms I belong there and I left my heart in Buenos Aires… the rest was me playing with my guitar and the keyboard… this is rather rough but it is all stream of consciousness and improvisation.
I left My Heart In Buenos Aires
I have had a cold for three days and my eyes have not stopped crying… all by themselves…. just crying… it seems it is ominous of a time in my near future….
This song will have to be reworked but it is the way all the parts and mistakes came together in just thirty minutes…
Pretty Tears
Sex in 3/4 Time
The blues like to lay by my bed side
And they like to play sax at my feet
While take a slice of the living
And feed them from my Christmas Tree
I find you lying in ecstasy
Alone with my gun in your hand
Belief is a mere mortals pleasure
The sole purpose for such a brand
My hero write prose for the mortals
As I write a rhyme for your heart
Still there aren’t enough of us living
To blaspheme that kind of art
You might not know quite what I’m saying
You might figure out from my rhyme
That the dragons of which you are slaying
Have sex here in 3/4 time
The dilettante lies in the gutter and
Still I can’t offer you clues
So I spread you like melted butter
In battles the heroines chose
Blinded by loves eager madness
I find you alone in your dreams
Spread out like a warm breakfast
Feeding me peaches and cream
So refusal attracts like a magnet
The bitter refute of your crimes
Below me I find that your willing
To take me in 3/4 time (alone in your mind)
life is changing…
the world is changing…
so many beginnings
so many endings…
all crashing into one another…
“What the government needs is washing machine
’cause its tail is stuck in a dead magazine
But I’m not the one to say that its all be a sham
If I could move a mountain I’d move you here
I’d bat my eyes and make you appear
It I could move a mountain I’d move you here”
I sign most of my correspondences with some derivation of “Love and Light”. Recently someone said she thought it diminished the effect since it doesn’t seem so special after a while.
My reply was this: I agree and disagree. Yes perhaps it does take some of the special off of the word love. But in my mind the presence of love isn’t special, it is a prerequisite, it should always be there, my salutation is just a reminder that in my world, it is ALWAYS there.
I may forget and I may revert to my old thinking that love is for the special people in my life, but when I see my own salutation, I am reminded, love should be the norm for everyone, not just for special people!
This is where we were from December 22cnd, 2010 through January 12th, 2011
Her flowers are the fragrance of my embrace
Her body moves me like a song
The lines of where she stops and I begin
Are so much more than just a mystery
They declare I am a man
This transformed me on the spot!
This is so remarkable I am up 3 hours later still pondering the ramifications of what this video says – it says what I have always known to be true – We are our own teachers. We teach ourselves.
What we learn for ourselves is our much longer than that which is given to us by others. And still everyone learns (as Newton said) “By standing on the shoulders of giants.” We learn from those around us. Not because they are teaching but rather because we are learning.
There is something that every community needs to know in this video…
We have this capacity to teach ourselves in ways we do not use or exploit for ourselves. Instead, this power has been exploited by others – though this is my opinion not what the video says at all.
I am taken aback in that I see how information has always been lorded over us and we have been usurped by those with the secrets.
Carbon Credits – “Cap & Trade”… Ouch!!!
