Opinionated Survivor of Culture Changes and Culture Clashes.

I've been alive a long time, and have learned a few things along the way.
I'm still writing songs. 
Some of them are to be embraced.  Some to be ignored,
depending on your own perspective.
Some songs for fun.  Some angry ones.  Personal songs. 
Some songs of Faith.
 Songs about the Human Condition. 
Mine.  And maybe yours.

The Old Coyote





Your Remarkable Silhouette

 

I traced the skyline

with my finger,

accounting for every treetop

and mountain.


It will now be fixed

in my mind

alongside your remarkable

silhouette.

 



Rest-Less

 

I’m restless from

too much rest.

 

I guess I just need to

rest less.

 

But I’m tired of being restless

and could use a good nap.




With Myself

 

Wind whipping waves

on a Spring mountain lake.

Birds gliding by

without effort.

I snuggle with myself

against the cold.



 

Around In Circles

 

 

Around in circles she ran.

Like a hamster on a wheel.

Like a junkie getting high.

Like a dog chasing his tail.

Like a man seeking love

in a strip club.



 

Talking To Herself

 

My dog stood barking

at ducks on the water,

her voice on a half-second delay.

As it echoed from a distant granite canyon

she forgot about the ducks

and began an animated conversation

with herself.

 




Behind Your Eyes

 

I could see the bottom

of the lake

as if it were the soul

behind your eyes.

Last Night

Denes McIntosh

 

Last night, I dreamed there was a fire raging wild

Last night, I dreamed there was a fire raging wild

I don’t know from whence it came

I ain’t seen that kind of fire in a while.

 

Last night, I dreamed I was surrounded by the fire

Last night, I dreamed I was surrounded by that fire

I knew my time had come 

When I heard the sound of that acappella choir.

 

Last night, smoke was thick across the blistering sand

Last night, smoke was thick across the blistering sand

I know you tried to reach me

But I could not quite hold on to your quivering hand.

 

Last night, I dreamed that you were dancing on my grave

Last night, I dreamed that you were dancing on my grave

You’d ‘save the last dance for me’

I remember that’s what you always used to say

 

Last night, I felt the fire burning deep inside

Last night, I felt the fire burning deep inside

It took me by surprise

Like a good burn brings a forest back to life.

 



Hand To The Plow

Denes McIntosh

 

A clanking across the vineyard like pipe against rock

Wind on the surface of an irrigation pond

Canadian geese engaged in lively foreign talk

Acorns poppin’ under foot where I walk

 

The sky rumblin’ by like yesterdays news

The last swig left on my best bottle of booze

The sound of a lie that just never rang true.

The final refrain of the Mule Skinner Blues

 

Chorus:

I can hear every one of these familiar sounds

I don’t need to put my one good ear to the ground

I just put my hand to the proverbial plow

Put my hand to the plow and keep pushin’.

 

The sound of somebody breaking a bond

Choosin’ up sides for who’s right and who’s wrong

The echo of lyrics from a faraway song

Sound track of a lifetime three-quarters gone.

 

Chorus:

 

Laughter as phony as a three dollar bill

A young woman swallowing a bottle of pills

A forlorn lover tumblin’ down another hill

Life will first mock, and then kill you.

 

Chorus:

 

Bridge:

Put my hand, put my hand, put my hand to the plow.

Put my hand, put my hand to the plow.

I won’t be here long, but I’m here right now

And I’ll hang on till the day I go down.

 

Chorus:




Crazy Heart

Denes McIntosh

 

Too many drinks, too many one-night stands

Too many self-penned songs about a broken man.

Too many towns along too many roads

Too many dwindling crowds, too many midnight shows.

 

He was too long lonely, He was too long gone

He was too long sleepin’ where he didn’t belong

He was too long chasin’ that elusive dream

He was too long repeatin’ the same old thing. 

 

Chorus:

He had a crazy heart, it got the best of him

He had a wounded heart, it took the rest of him

He had a crazy heart, it had a hold on him

He had a heavy heart from the outside in.

But if you’d like to know what the man was all about

He had a heart of gold from the inside out.

 

He was a broken man with a broken heart

He was a tired old soul slowly fallin’ apart

He was an absent father to an orphan son

He was ashamed he couldn’t finish

what he’d once begun.

 

Chorus:

 

He was down in the dumps, he was down on his luck

He was ridin’ on fumes in that old pick-up truck

He was down to the wire, down to his last buck

He was down so low it left him lookin’ up.

 

Bridge:

And that’s right where he needed to be

Like ripe fruit ready to fall from a tree

That’s right in line with the order of things

Life can bring a wandering man to his knees.

 

Chorus:
