about

I wrote Money Lender in Morocco, 1971, and No Hurry later that year... joining them at this recording, the first an early critique of capitalism, the second an intuition of the still place above the river. Humor also likes to steal into the songs occasionally. It was around this time that I discovered Ecclesiastes, the existential track that somehow made it into the bible... the "underneath the sun" line was used in several songs... not just mine, The Band & Dylan used it also... them first probably.

lyrics

I'm sittin on my money lender's cushion
countin on the receipts picture all the deals uncovered
picture profits and things
the elbows on the waiters reach their shoulders
above the knocking I can hear requests for food
I have none here to give
the days are stacking up my debts I only have to be here
ten-fold it's back in time to lend again

1.
there ain't no hurry everything's all right everything's all right everything's all right
there ain't no hurry everything's all right
everything underneath the sun

2.
everybody's doin what they have to do what they have to do what they have to do, everybody's doin what they have to do everybody everything's all right

3.
old men lean on canes everything's all right everything's all right everything's all right, young men lean on women everything's all right everything underneath the sun

farewell damsel farewell all see you in the mornin see you in the mornin, greet the comin day
sometimes I feel grand and
I see you in your space above the river

there ain't no one fine as the sandwoman
ain't nothin fine as the sandwoman's sand good night
