Love to Burn

Spring can be rough in Albuquerque: the winds howl; dust blows. It makes me want to stay in bed with the sheets pulled up on occasion. It is time for the new growth to BREAK ON THROUGH, and that is a tough process. It's a process that must happen in order to reach the sun and stars...This morning I was discouraged about a few things like the nuke meltdown in Japan and the constant turning of our damaged planet, when I caught this song and it caught me...So onward and upward...Time to SPRING AHEAD...Time to 'take the first step' to 'crawl to be tall'...Thanks Neil, dude.

"Love To Burn" by Neil Young--popular when Neil hated the first President Bush with his 'points of light' and other things...

Late one night I was walking
in the valley of hearts.
A spirit came to me and said:
You gotta move to start
You gotta take the first step
You gotta crawl to be tall
And then she me told something,
something that
I'll never forget.

You got love to burn.
You better
take your chance on love.
You got to let your guard down
You better take a chance,
A chance on love.
Take chance on love
On love.

In the valley of hearts there's
a house full of broken windows
And the lovers inside just
quarrel all the time
Why'd you ruin my life?
Where you takin' my kid?
And they hold each other saying:
How did it come to this?

You got love to burn.
You better take your chance
on love.
You got to let your guard down
You better take a chance,
A chance on love.
Take chance on love
On love.
