Ask a friend what he will do. Ask the leaders you've elected, But the answer lies with you. This old earth has seen a lot o' livin'. This old earth we've used from end to end. Now it's time for mankind to start givin'. This old earth could use a friend. [The album it comes from, "Mirrors and Changes," is described as "a magnificant collection of Bob's early original songs."] |

There's a neat CD put out by the Annapolis Maritime Museum to raise funds to preserve the Thomas Point Lighthouse, with Bob's "This Old Bay" and "Let the Light from the Lighthouse" on it - it's available here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/amm |

11 Aug 06 - 02:34 AM (#1806985) Subject: Lyr Add: THIS OLD EARTH (from Bob Zentz) From: GUEST,cptjeff THIS OLD EARTH (Bob Zentz) Fragments of another sunset, Ashes of another dawn. Drowned in time's immortal ocean, All too soon we may be gone. This old earth has seen a lot of living, This old earth the stories she could tell. This earth is finished with the giving This old earth we used so well. Now the playground stands deserted, In the yellow afternoon. And the cotton candy children, Have all gone home too soon. And the tree of knowledge trembles, For the fruit was ours before. Will be like Eden's lovers, Driven from the garden's doors. So what can it take from nature, And what must it take from man For the future generations To save the sky, the sea, the land? This old earth has seen a lot of living, This old earth the stories she could tell. This earth is finished with the giving This old earth we used so well. So ask a child what really matters. Ask a friend what he will do. Ask the leaders you've elected, But the answer lies with you. This old earth has seen a lot o' livin'. This old earth we've used from end to end. Now it's time for mankind to start givin'. This old earth could use a friend. This old earth has seen a lot of living, This old earth we've used from end to end. Now it's time for man to start giving. This old earth could use a friend. Complete lyrics from the original release on mirrors and changes. The CD or record is available off bob's website. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXkKESNr4uo |

18 Jan 18 - 02:54 AM (#3900258) Subject: ADD: This Old Bay (Bob Zentz) From: Joe Offer Bob rewrote "This Old Earth" as "This Old Bay." Here are the lyrics from his Website, http://www.bobzentz.com/songbook/t.oldbay.htm THIS OLD BAY (Bob Zentz) 1. I saw the sun rise on the ocean (C-Dm) I watched the sun set on the bay (F-C) I thought of times and tides and people (Em-Am) The past, the future and today (F-G)
This old Bay, the stories she could tell (F-C) This old Bay is finished with the giving (Dm-Am) This old Bay we knew so well (G7-F) 2. When the glaciers finally melted Eighteen-thousand years ago Rising ocean drowned the valley Where the Susquehanna flowed
In Algonquin tongues did speak They called this place "Mother of Waters" They named this bay the Chesapeake 3. Then the English settlers landed Strangers in a stranger land They worked their changes for survival They never tried to understand
This old Bay, the stories she could tell Now, this old Bay is finished with the giving This old Bay we used so well 4. So those who use the Bay must answer Who's to lose, and who's to win 'Cause when you're lookin' where you're goin' You must see where you have been
The waste, the rubble of the dream And as we all search for solutions Remember we all live downstream 5. So ask your friend what really matters And ask your child what she will do Then ask the leaders you've elected But now the answer lies with you
Well, this old Bay we've used from end to end Now it's time we people started giving This old Bay could use a friend From Hove-to, and Drifting ...
