The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to
pleasure but from hope to hope.
Dr. Johnson
The times to come are on the way.
John Sanford
Life is not a matter of holding good cards, it's playing a poor
hand well.

Wherever You Go When You Sleep
Words by Keith Murphy
Music by David Cantieni
Wherever you go when you sleep
though your ship it toss and it turn in the night
if you are brave, then you'll be safe
for your heart will fend off all dangers at sea
See the light of the moon
it with the stars will guide you along
on your long evening sail
to lands unknown you must be quick
and make ready your ship
A fearless sailor you'll be, always to me
I'll hear your cry in the morning
and I'll be there by your side, love
always by your side
Be off before it's too late no time to wait
for me, I can't go you must go on alone
but I'll be here, your light on the shore
to guide you safely back home now
So chart a course for the night. I'll be all right
knowing you've a strong hand, keen eye to the sky
steady your breath, just let
the evening wind take you away
Danger, surely you'll face on the high seas
but your enemies will all fade away
in your wake as you sail on
till the break of day
Stronger each time you'll grow
the further you go
many miles away from your home
you can always come home love
always home to me
