Sea nomad – Ludwig O’Neill © 2020
I am a sea nomad… it’s true
I love the surf, the spray and you
I love the way it wets your skin
I yearn to watch when you dive in
The surf that breaks the lonely strand
Incoming tide scars virgin sand
stars shine on a midnight swim
naked as we’re plunging in
naked as we’re plunging in
I am a sea nomad… I know
In dreams my favoured place to go
The wettest, wildest passion thrill
Intense excitement can instil
Standing tall atop a wave
king of all so proud and brave
as wipe-out tumble crashes down
I dive to capture back my crown
I dive to capture back my crown
How I love the raging sea… waves crashing over me
I am a sea nomad… I fear
Deepened with each passing year
Flowing as each ebbing tide
By waning moon is drawn aside
With held hands running to the foam
We offer up to Neptune’s home
Our bodies as we splash and play
Caressing, ebbing, loving spray
Caressing, ebbing, loving spray
I am a sea nomad… that’s right
I leap from pier in dead of night
Cooling skin my body floats
among the plethora of boats
I offer up my worldly woes
As ripples wet my paddling toes
water, wind, salt and you
I am a sea nomad… it’s true
I am a sea nomad… it’s true

How do you feel – © Ludwig O’Neill 2020
You should have come here earlier than that
When I had the sweet joy of love in my heart
I wanted to be surrounded by you… in a sea
In your sea.
Aw but the notion to have you has long left me be
Now an anger replaces frustration in me
I’d love to come to you… but pride has a price
So I need to know….
How do you feel?
How do you feel?
About me.
Standing alone here, stuck in the rain
With my face pressed hard against your window pane
I see that you’ve found out where you need to be
Far away… from me….
How do you feel?
How do you feel?
About me.
Mid 8
How do you feel… how do you feel yeah
You gotta tell me how you feel – coz I need to know… oh yeah
The simple connections we make in our lives
With gambling husbands and nagging old wives
A bitterness carried right down to the grave we will go…
Oh no…..
How do you feel?
How do you feel?
About me.
How do you feel….
How do you feel,….
I really need to know
How do you feel??
Ad lib

I believe – Ludwig O’Neill © 2020
The Kings and knights
Pawn to castle
The way the light
Shows home to me
Strange cylinders
Coming from Mars
Funny men –
drivin…
Funny cars
And I believe
I believe
Oh I believe
I believe..
In it all!
Drift through time
With a ‘flux capacitor’
Hang some time
With the boys on the corner
Write your book
Let others have a look
You never know
What you might conceive
And I believe
I believe
Oh I believe
I believe
In it all
In it all
Oh I believe it all
All that you teach me
And all that you show me
And all that you make me
Believe in it all
Better believe it
Ah, you better believe it

Let go – Ludwig O’Neill © 2020
Why don’t you tell her
Why don’t you let her know
Why don’t you say something now
Time to let your feelings show
A simple expression
Something she will understand
Tell her she’s beautiful
The finest girl in all the land
Then when you have her
You tell her she’s beautiful again
That in her eyes you can see
Your destiny within
Wow oh oh wow - you’d better let go
There’s something about her
You can’t put your finger on
You’ve been living without her
Alone for much too long
Oh just a simple expression
Something that she will understand
Why don’t you - tell her she’s beautiful
The finest girl in all the land
Oh, but then…
Then when you have her
You tell her she’s beautiful again
and in her eyes you can see
Your destiny within
Wow oh oh….. yeah, you’d better let go
you’d better let go… oh… *
oh - you’d better let go
you’d better let go
oh - you’d better let go
and then when you have her
you tell her she’s beautiful again
and in her eyes you can see
Your destiny within
Wow oh oh wow yeah….. you’ll let go
you’ll let go (high)
you’d better let go
you’d better let go
oh - you’d better let go
let go
better let go
why don’t you tell her?
Why don’t you let her know?

Rosey Black and me - Ludwig O’Neill © 2020
Rose was standin’ there as I just happened by
She… just winked at me, as I gave her the eye
And her hellos met my goodbyes
My heart skipped a beat so I stopped off for a while
To gaze upon her breasts and wonder at her smile
And she said we could meet…..
… right after work, at Robinson’s back bar
Sure!,… I said to her, coz I knew it was not far…
… til five O’Clock.
SOLO
At five I grabbed my drink and hurriedly sat down
Rose landed in my lap and she spun her pretty head around
And with her jukebox mime she goes…
“I’ll be a fool for you, a fool for you no more…”
Coz Rosey Black and me, been down that road before
I’ll be a fool for her no more
