Wrote Wind From Newport News while living in Hampton, Va working for the Va. Commission for the Arts as an artist in residence for Hampton Roads and Norfolk

lyrics

Like the wings that the wind brings
Like the brightness after rain
Like the thunder rolling over you
While you're riding on a train

(Chorus)
You been out there fighting lions
Where the lions ain't been
Time to come on back in, my friend
From the rain and the wind

And the streets are filled with cell phones
Dark suits and shades
Three days till the millenium
And the amateur parade

Chorus

You know alcohol and wrestling
They never do mix
And the priests and politicians
Are playing pick up sticks

Chorus

There's a fire out on the interstate
It's burning through the night
There's laughter in your poetry
Turning darkness into light

Chorus

Woke up with a Woody
Guthrie song in my head
And the wind from Newport News
At the window by my bed

I been out there fighting lions
Where the lions ain't been
Time to come on back in my friend
From the rain and the wind
