Cottonwood mouth can't make you out
Subtle as a snake you make me doubt
Drifting through the air like fine white hair
You dry me out and leave me here
Soft as spider's silk I hear
Full of light and all I fear
From the brightest day
There comes a night
A night so dark
Can't see through it
You can find your way
Just hold...on to yourself
Could be losing my mind out here
Drift into the water where the light is clear
Watching the ripples of frozen dreams
Out of my head and into the scene
From the brightest day
There comes a night
A night so dark
Can't see through it
You can find your way
Just hold...on to yourself

Moon Over Water

Moon over water what's it I see
It looks like my demons are coming for me
One by the ripple and one by the tree
Stumped by the willow and drowned by the sea
Tastes like sugar but it sits like grease
Feels like a slight dressed up to please
They've come for my soul but they always cheat
Try to see if they can make me shoot myself in the feet
I won't give in says the devil within
Won't let them win
I won't give in to the devil without
I will not doubt. I will not doubt
Skipping through life like a sail on fire
Can you tell when the voice in your head is a liar
Can you cook up happiness without despair
Can you keep up hope though life's not fair
I won't give in says the devil within
Won't let them win
I won't give in to the devil without
I will not doubt. I will not doubt
Holy holy...Oh holy sea
Won't you rock and roll over me
I've been rolling under the train
Every star shine's been bringing rain
Carry over...Oh carry me
I've been sinking into something
Will it bring me a faery dream
Or will it break me and set me free

A Heart

Now the night has come
And after all you've done
I don't believe you have one
A heart...have one
A heart...have none
You act like you have one
But then you have to run
And with you goes the sun
A heart...have one
A heart...have none
You never told me that your
Heart was lost in outer space and
You can't stay in any place for long
I know, I know I.....have one
A heart...have one
Now that you have gone
I kick my heart around
It's like it's full of sound
A heart...have one
A heart...have none
You never told me that your
Heart was lost in outer space and
You can't stay in any place for long
I know, I know I.....have one
A heart...have one
You took mine...you took mine...you took mine

Then I Saw The Stars
03:46
|
|

Fell under a spell
Down a wishing well
And I fell so deep
That the sun could never reach me
Swimming in the dark
Trying to find a spark
But the sparks were all wet
So I floated on my back
And I feel that I've been in darkness forever
And I need a light to feel something else
Then I saw the stars
Stared at them for hours
So near so far
Hanging in the dark
And I feel that I've been in darkness forever
And I need a light to feel something else
Then I found my heart
And it wanted to get out
It was shining in the dark
And it lifted me out

apple heart you know your part don't you throw it back at me
i am the sun i am the rain don't you make it all in vain
and the wind picked up
and the treetops swayed
like they're in love
with the summer days
i'm all for you
with no restraint
i lost my heart
to the summer wind
queen anne's lace my wedding dress and a weeping willow veil
clover leaves, wood betony, and blue chicory
and the wind picked up
and the treetops swayed
like they're in love
with the summer days
i'm all for you
with no restraint
i lost my heart
to the summer wind
golden rod and thistles live forever
lilies for a day
water hemlock grows beside the river
in willow's shining wake
dandelion your heart is mine
dandelion your heart is mine...your heart is mine
and the wind picked up
and the treetops swayed
like they're in love
with the summer days
i'm all for you
with no restraint
i lost my heart
to the summer wind

Wilder Than Me
03:46
|
|

I am afraid of you
You want to be free
You're like a little bird
Trapped inside my house
You break up everything
And beat up all your wings
And when you're broken tired
I can try to help
And you are wilder than me
No one can take it from you
And you are wilder than me
And it breaks up my heart when you beat up your wings
I am afraid of you
You want to be free
You try so hard to please him
It brings you to your knees
He breaks up everything
But you clip your own wings
And I'm tired of trying to help you
get away from him
And you are wilder than me
No one can take it from you
And you are wilder than me
And it breaks up my heart when you beat up your wings
Strong...I could be strong
Draw a line in the soil try to hold back the world
Brave...I could be brave
You won't know how to take me, how to drag me down or shake me Ah
I am afraid of you
You want to be free
You're like a little bird
Trapped inside of me
You break of everything
And beat up all your wings
And when you're broken tired
I can try to sing
And you are wilder than me
No one can take it from you
And you are wilder than me
And it breaks up my heart when you beat up your wings
Yes it breaks up my heart when you beat up your wings

My Body R&R
04:55

Woman with lightening in her eyes
Coming for me in clouds piled high
My body can be anything
My body does what I please
My body rough and ready for love
Gentle fingers wipe out my shame
Wolf-headed moon change my name
My body can be anything
My body does what I please
My body rough and ready for love
Today a new world begins
A pattern making melodies of yesterday’s sins
My body can be anything
My body does what I please
My body rough and ready for love
All I need is here for me
All I need is here for me
And you…
Visions that softly breathe
Light into life
Leave self-pity melt away
Sorrow only gives joy a place to stay
My body rough and ready for love

I love silver birches and
I love white pines
But they don’t me a thing
If you won’t be mine
The leaves on the ground
And the sky up above
Don’t know a thing
About being in love
Wild love like you never had
Spend all my money
Just to see you smile
There’s no sweeter honey
For me no time
Wild love like you never had
For to set you afire for to drive you mad
Maples make sugar
And oaks make shade
Like the sweetest love
Or the greatest man

Bluebirds

In the arms of morning light she said up to the night
I’ll see you again tonight by the river side
Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm
Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm
Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm
Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm
There will always still be time to save this world this heart of mine
From the demons sad resigned let the bluebirds fly
Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm
Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm
Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm
Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm
Sail the morning to the shore and wash your heart upon the stones
You can watch the birds to soar and let your darkness go
Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm
Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm
Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm
Mmm-ah Mmm-ah Mmm
Every day as time began I saw the light and took your hand
For the bluebirds sang and sang and morning soon began
For the bluebirds sang and sang and morning soon began
