"Please, please, please, let me get what I want"

Good times for a change / See, the luck I've had / can make a good man / turn bad
So please, please, please / let me, let me, let me / let me get what I want / this time
Haven't had a dream in a long time / See, the life I've had / can make a good man / bad
So for once in my life / let me get what I want / Lord knows it would be the first time / Lord knows it would be the first time

"Ghost Story"

I watch the Western sky / The sun is sinking / The geese are flying South / It sets me thinking
I did not miss you much / I did not suffer / What did not kill me / Just made me tougher
I feel the winter come / His icy sinews / Now in the fire light / The case continues
Another night in court / The same old trial / The same old questions asked / The same denial

The shadows closely run / Like jury members / I look for answers in / The fire's embers
Why was I missing then / That whole December / I give my usual line: / I don't remember
Another winter comes / His icy fingers creep / Into these bones of mine / These memories never sleep
And all these differences / A cloak I borrow / We kept our distances / Why should it follow / I must have loved you

What is the force that binds the stars / I wore this mask to hide my scars / What is the power that pulls the tide / I never could find a place to hide
What moves the Earth around the sun / What could I do but run and run and run / Afraid to love, afraid to fail / A mast without a sail

The moon's a fingernail and slowly sinking / Another day begins and now I'm thinking / That this indifference was my invention / When everything I did sought your attention
You were my compass star / You were my measure / You were a pirate's map / A buried treasure

If this was all correct / The last thing I'd expect / The prosecution rests / It's time that I confess: / I must have loved you

   I have been working with
Dr. Fred Hamann in AGN outflows. The figure shows an absorption feature (related to absorption by the outflow), flowing at a speed of ~0.2 c (speed of light). This high -speed outflow may be in contradiction with some theories that try to explain outflows by radiation pressure.
