Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into spring These are a few of
I was talking to the mockingbird He says you are the worst he's heard Bob White! Whatcha gonna swing tonight? I was talking to the whippoorwill He says you've got a corny trill Bob White! Whatcha gonna swing tonight?
The night was cold Colder than the moon The stars were white as bones The stadium looked old Older than the teams Older than the dreams There were three men down And the season lost And the tarpaulin was rolled Upon the winter frost
(Paul Simon, "Night Game") I think his lyrics read like poetry
If I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing, I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in. And in the top riggin' I'd there build my nest, And I'd flutter my wings o'er her lily-white breast.
--"If I was a Blackbird," traditional, sung by Andy M. Stewart

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue blue blue Christmas
Red and yellow
Black and white
They are precious in his sight

I'm putting on my top hat
Tying up my white tie
Brushing up my tails
I'm duding up my shirt front
Putting in the shirt studs
Polishing my nails

The night was cold
Colder than the moon
The stars were white as bones
The stadium looked old
Older than the teams
Older than the dreams
There were three men down
And the season lost
And the tarpaulin was rolled
Upon the winter frost
(Paul Simon, "Night Game")

Vision dreams of passion.
Blowin’ through my mind, and all the while I think of you.

You're wrong when it's right

If I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing,
I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in.
And in the top riggin' I'd there build my nest,
And I'd flutter my wings o'er her lily-white breast.
