Love Song 10/31/83 I sing the song of love Of kisses sweet with love complete My spirit sails up high like a dove For the times and people I have yet to meet Cold nights ahead by the fireplace A place to plan and dream, tomorrow And yet I will not live at a hurry pace For time is something you can not borrow My song will never end For love only continues to grow And forever love I will defend And like a river it will always flow Mary Hauck

This is not something that I wrote, but is something I heard at a sf-con filk-sing back in 1981 (a filk-sing is like with folk-songs, but are sf and fantasy oriented). The woman who wrote the song is Diana Gallagher, and it is copyrighted by her. *Planetbound Lovers* The space-shuttle pilot lies dreaming Of adventure come the dawn. His lover weeps, she cannot sleep: Tommorrow, he'll be gone. CHORUS: Goodbye, my love! Minus 10 and counting! The launch-fires flame and roar! Goodbye, my love! Going into orbit, On the wings of the Future you'll soar. A man confronts his destiny, Accepts what must be done; The challenge faced, he'll open Space For his unborn daughters and sons. CHORUS Bound away, beyond the atmosphere, To sail Infinity's sky, A man's heart sings: the wonder of wings And planetbound lovers cry. A woman understands the secret Desires and needs of men. She knows someday he'll choose to stay And never return from orbit again. CHORUS And I'll be waiting here, missing you, Until planetbound lovers go orbiting, too. -- The Phoenix (Neither Bright, Dark, nor Young) ---"A man should live forever...or die trying." ---"There is no substitute for good manners...except fast reflexes."
