The Bookstore

I began selling books on the sidewalks of New York City in the Spring of 1990. When I was a sidewalk bookseller in NYC, sometimes I would get a 'real job' for awhile just to take a break. I didn't care if I quit or was fired. I would just go back to bookselling. I blew more money in two hours than any job could have paid me for a week of humiliation.   The Bookstore was aptly named - I could have called it something pretentious like Greenwich Village Bookshop, but that reputation had not yet been established. I removed the air conditioner that had been installed above the entrance and replaced it with a color TV facing the sidewalk on which I was playing VHS tapes of classic rock concerts, rock and roll films and occasionally, some horror flicks.

Make-Believe

I never dreamed that one day I would find myself no longer a child so innocent Now I truly understand now that I'm alone in my little world of make-believe I remember being harshly scolded for something they did once long ago I felt it quite clearly but I was still alone then in my little world of make-believe Often they would find me in conversation with my imaginary friend He could keep a secret he'd never tell a soul in my little world of make-believe I wished myself a garden where my mind can go to play A colour-filled childhood playground...I dreamed my life away Please don't kill my dream it may be all I'll ever have Often they would find me in conversation with my imaginary friend He could keep a secret he'd never tell a soul in my little world of make-believe

Gone Too Long

I been gone a long long time I been gone a long long time Chasin’ them big city ways Tryin to expand my mind Guess I should be getting home Supper will be getting cold I been gone a long long time I found a woman what done me wrong I found a woman what done me wrong She had them big city ways Left me cryin for too long Guess I should be getting home All my kinfolk getting old I been gone a long long time yeh I been gone gone gone   gone gone gone gone too long I been gone gone gone   gone gone gone gone too long Gonna leave the city far behind Memories sweet and unkind Lord why did I leave my home Must’a needed to unwind Guess I should be getting home City life is much too cold Leave the city far behind   I been gone gone gone   gone gone gone gone too long I been gone gone gone   gone gone gone gone too long   ©2011 Galindosound
