    Dear Friends,

    This songbook contains words and lyrics to all of the songs onmy Keep Me Near album as weU as others I've written overthe years for Baba and His Beloved Mehera. The first song Iwrote for Him was Thunder After Lightning in 1969 and, withBaba's grace, I'll be writing more and more and stiU yet moresongs in years to come.

    Guitar chords have been simplified throughout this book. Butwhere I felt it would detract from a song to simplify a guitarpart too much, I've included the chords I use.

    Leadsheets for most of these songs may be had on request.

    I sincerely hope you wiU use and enjoy this songbook. Jai Baba!

    In His Love,

    Her rings are solid gold, her dress is scarlet,you feel you must have been with her before.Do you dare to ask her any questions?Do you think that she can really know your score?

    She knows about your fascination,you wonder if she really knows it all.The fortune-telling lady,revelation's always been her call.

    You wait until the crowd thins out around her,you ask her to reveal your secret soul.She laughs and says she is you future,she says would like to take her home?

    And loving her is so easy,she is tender, she is wild.She holds you like she won't let go,you give yourself completely to this woman-child.

    You sleep so late into the morning,after loving deep into the dawn.You wake up and she is not beside you,she has taken everything and gone.

    You go to the place where you first saw her,the house is dark and empty, no one's home,and no one even seems to know her,she has taken everything and flown.

    Losing her is not so easy,she was tender, she was warm.You didn't know that she would go,vanished like a raven in a thunderstorm.

    Maybe she is somewhere in the city,looking at the lines in someone's hand,or maybe your fortune-telling ladyfound herself another foolish man.

    Hell and Hurricane

    G C . G . CMore hard times are conung, easy times are gone,

    G C DIVe been through hell and hurricane and angry storm.

    G C G GAnd I'm caught out on the ocean so from any shore,

    A pnsoner of Sestiny, trying to find some Soor.

    C GOh, Lord, don't you hear me calling,

    wings don't fly and I don't know where I'm lllling,I need Your love to carry on, I need Your love to carry on.

    I've been in all the comers like a lion in a cage.

    Where no one ever touches me and no one knows my pain.

    And I'm trying to find a future and to face it unafraid.

    But I see my own unworthiness and I wonder what's to save.

    Oh, Lord, don't you know I'm trying.

    But I don't know how to live I've been so long dying,

    I need Your love to carry on, I need Your love to carry on.

    Well, I've been through hell and hurricane and I've searched but I could not find

    The doorway into paradise or a way to ease my mind.

    And you've given me some chances but I threw 'em all away,

    I was standing tall and for my pride I've fallen low today.

    Oh, Lord, don't you hear me calling.

    My wings don't fly and I don't know where I'm falling,

    I need Your love to carry on, I need Your love to cany on.
