A Snipers Promise Performed By Joe Moyers

Gerry Hubbard · Snipers Promise Performede By Joe Moyers

 

The night was icy cold, I stood alone
Waiting for an army foot patrol
Then at last they came within my sight
I squeezed the trigger of my Armalite
Oh mama, oh mama, comfort me
I know these awful things have got to be
But when the war for freedom has been won
I promise you I'll put away my gun
Shots ran out I heard a soldier cry
Oh please don't leave me here alone to die
I realised his patrol had gone away
And left their wounded comrade for me to slay
Oh mama, oh mama, comfort me
I know these awful things have got to be
But when the war for freedom has been won
I promise you I shall put away my gun
Well there's nothing in this world I would not give
If mercy in your heart you'd let me live
In his eyes, I saw a begging flame
As the muzzle of my gun moved toward his brain
Oh mama, oh mama, comfort me
I know these awful things have got to be
But when the war for freedom has been won
I promise you I'll put away my gun
The dawn was breaking as I reached my base
I can't forget the look on that boy's face
Fear, agony and torment were all there
But to your memory mama his life I spared
Oh mama, oh mama, comfort me
I know these awful things have got to be
But when the war for freedom has been won
I promise you I shall put away my gun
Yes I promise you I'll put away my gun

I’m so glad

I’m so glad

And the river that runs through my soul for you

Is totally out of control for you

I’m so glad

I’m so free

I’m so free

I’m so tall

I won’t fall

And you run through the falls bringing wine to me

And I step through the wall in a revelry

I’m so free

All around, and up and down the little town, the girl falls down

Back on her feet, and on the street; a little beat, but not beaten down

In the night, I caught a fright; then saw a light, and thought you’d come ‘round

Not to stay, but just to say, you love me day in and day out

I’m so free

It’s just me

I feel cool

Real cool

And I’ll chase you, and you’ll chase me

Never, we know, shall the twain come to meet

I’m so free

Dash ©July 9, 2021, David Hubbard

I’d been lost

Double-crossed

Stepping on and off of the track again

Living like I’d never get it back again

I’d been tossed

Giving like a goddamned man again

And damn the cost

She ran free

To the sea

Opened her arms to the road ahead

Felt the sweet charms of the road that led 

her to me

Thinking that she might reload ahead

Refresh, be free

And when the sky poured down ahead of me

As if to sigh for what you’d said to me

Blushing and shy, nodded your head to me

And winked your eye like breaking bread for me

And later when I saw you on the lawn

Only you and I up with the dawn 

There with only fate to chance upon

I felt cold

I’d been told

Could have gone to bed when the fire died

Ended up instead by the riverside

I felt bold 

Had to try something I’d never tried 

No guts; no gold

She ran fast

From the past

Didn’t want to speak of our flaws a while

Thinking if she waited or paused a while

She’d be last

Leaving the confusion we’d caused a while

At long last

Said if I die and you remember me

Then I will fly to the edge of the sea

And touch the sky as it falls away from me

And testify that you’re my everything

Then, later when I saw you on the lawn

Only you and I up with the dawn

There with only fate to chance upon

I felt good

In my old ‘hood

Had a few beers on a Saturday

Figured that I’d rather go that-a-way 

than be good

Feeling like I could have been badder

Hey, but that’s understood

She Knows by Now ©2021 David Hubbard

I been ‘round; I been here before

Bide my time, then I hit the door

But all those times I was someone else

I guess I never knew myself

Her friends ask, Why?

Does she have time to throw her love away?

They think I’ll fly

But that’s not right and I’ve got only this to say

She knows by now

She knows me now

She knows by now

And she says I want to come and go 

All over the world with you

She walked up when I was down

‘Bout to blow out of this town

I paid a price for a reckless past

Couldn’t have known it wouldn’t last

Her friends don’t know

See her as so spun all over

They think I’ll go

But home’s her eyes, her hair, her hands, her shoulders

She knows by now

She knows me now

She knows by now

And she says I want to go 

All over the world with you

The night glides in

A new tide’s in

She knows by now

She knows by now

She knows by now

And she says I want to come and go 

All over the world with you

Want to come and go

All over the world with you

She knows by now

And she says I want to go

All over the world with you

Fire Out There, Written And Performed By Craig Hubbard

Craig Does The Boss's Brilliant Disguise

Brilliant Disguise

Bruce Springsteen

I hold you in my arms
As the band plays
What are those words whispered baby
Just as you turn away
I saw you last night
Out on the edge of town
I want to read your mind
To know just what I've got in this new thing I've found
So tell me what I see
When I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
Or just a brilliant disguise

I heard somebody call your name
From underneath our willow
I saw something tucked in shame
Underneath your pillow
Well I've tried so hard baby
But I just can't see
What a woman like you
Is doing with me
So tell me who I see
When I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
Or just a brilliant disguise

Now look at me baby
Struggling to do everything right
And then it all falls apart
When out go the lights
I'm just a lonely pilgrim
I walk this world in wealth
I want…

Circles And Lines, David G Hubbard

Circles and Lines

David Hubbard © November 10, 2019

In the meadow

A stiletto

I would bet, Oh,

I could get a word with her

She was older

But I told her 

I was bolder

I could shoulder anything

She held me like I was a child 

Unsullied, undefiled

Her eyes, they burned in me

And in the night we danced divine 

In circles and in lines

In time with everything

She was braver 

I could savor

The palaver

Of a raver high on X

In slow motion

A commotion

And the cold sun

On the ocean beating down

And in the night we danced divine 

In circles and in lines

In time with everything

She held me like I was a child 

Unsullied, undefiled

Her eyes, they burned inside of me

She was a dancer 

I was the dance floor

I was a copper 

She was a crime

I couldn’t stop her

But, man, I wanted her

To do it over 

So many times

She was a problem 

I was a problem

That simple math

Just couldn’t define

She lit a path

I followed, if awkward

And we danced 

In circles and lines

Arbor Day (Interrupted) By Gerry Hubbard, Performed By David Hubbard

Arbor Day

In the northwest Catskill mountains there’s a tree upon a lawn

And it must have had a million views of glee and rights and wrongs

Bore storms of rain and ice and sleet and winds that cut to bone

And all the while surveilled the stead that eight kids called our home

Near eighty years it stands there still, it’s drawn a lot of grief

From kids and cows and cats and dogs that used it for relief

To scratch and mark their turf and climb the shady branches high

To revel in the rustling leaves and sights of endless sky

Linemen cut a tunnel through to let the power run

It stands now like a “Pacman”, not having any fun

Susan’s leery of that tree since birds fell to their death

She thinks the power lines touched leaves and purloined their last breath

Thirty-thirties, twenty twos and shotgun slugs galore

Have pierced its hide and left the scars that fingers can explore

Almost girdled several times with axes, saws, and knives

It took it all and stands there tall, a sentinel of our lives

Dad got it from a rocky patch because of country lore

“Sown on stone, thrive in soil, it’s hardy to the core..”

Births and deaths and family rifts, it stood in silent guard

As family worked and wept and wed around and in the yard

Butchered pigs and deer and calves were hung from that old tree

It anchored wagons, cars and trucks and bulls that tried to flee

It shaded picnics, broken hearts and lots of books to read

It stood there silent, statuesque and never seemed to heed

The measles, mumps, and broken bones, pink eye, and ticks, and stings

Bruises, scratches, bumps and cuts, kicks and bites and dings

Eight kids living “country” and growing up real fast

Just looking to the future, not caring for the past

Marine Corps, Army, Navy called to get us off the farm

Five kids served and five came home safe and free from harm

Homecomings sweet and shaded all around that battered tree

It stood there silent, watching? I wonder, “Could it see?”

And did it revel in the joy and suffer from the sad

And did it comprehend at all the mere short time we had

While it could live two hundred years, standing tall and straight

The youngest son at fifty-eight passed through that final gate

About a hundred years from now with all great grandkids grown

When all of us and our kids are bare and silent bone

Will they go back up to “The Hill” to smell and feel and see

The wonder and the magic of that dauntless, scarred old tree?

Susan Ciacci Oh, I love that song about our tree we all knew so well.
It's part of us. In later years, when it was cut out for the electric lines,
I called it the Pac Man tree. When the branches touched the wires,
Mom and I would sometimes find a dead bird on the ground. We figured it had been electrocuted.
Since then, I never messed around that tree much.
