cupcake -
of ladies i have known a few
who thought that it was hip
to tell me that they cared for me
and then take me on a trip
they flashed a lot of fancy
then lose the ball, or skip of flip
what's that sound my heart just made?
i thought i heard it rip
i am simple, i am trusting ref
i am gentle, i am kind
i am a kite made to be lifted
into and easy wind
i will babble like a brook
slippin' over shiny stones
but like a hot-house flower i will surely die
if i am left too long alone
if you want to get to heaven
they you've got to strut your stuff
but the way some people play the game
you know the gettin' can be rough
they deal you in, they get you high
the first few hands, they're glad to lend
but when your soul is on the line
they introduce you to their loan-shark friend
//: ref
still, still, love, oh love, i'd like to go
to where i have never been
i just hope some long-sleeved carney shill
ain't out to run me in
i can see you are a cupcake
and i'm just a plain old muffin tin
but i'd like to see that cupcake bake
i'm goin' to fire up the oven and pop you in
we're gonna take it to the country
spread a blanket on the ground
we're goin' to have ourselves a picnic
with the love that we have found
here's my lucky silver dollar
but i'm a rube just doin' time
every pris'ner gets a phone call
please don't forget to leave the dime
//: ref
i am simple, i am trusting
i am gentle, i am kind
but in love, at least near sighted
if not completely blind
and i will howl like any dog
when some poacher steals his bone
like any sand-lot weed i will soon expire
if i am left under a stone.

14) the cup
-
i fear sometimes for the will'o'man
who walks with Jesse's rod
whose sacred name shall open
like a wound in the hand of God
when the children rise on Christmas day
and stand beneath the tree
i dream of that glad morning
when all men shall be free
what can i do to make him come
i am but weak and small
my helplessness, my only strength
i treasure most of all
what can i do who have one day
and that day almost run
but sing for my creator
until that day is done
we stand amid the twilight
of our eternal song
give what remains to his sweet praise
the whole glad sunset long
oh how can i refuse him
if he will lift me up
nay, with him i will break my bread
and with him drink the cup.
