Love Is All Around Me
02:14
|
|||
|
Love is all
Around me
Like birds
It flies
Or colored ribbons dancing
In the daytime blue
I can find it in
My open hand
And set it on
A shelf that I
That I crafted in my soul
To release my birds
My ribbons
In the air of the universe

Mobius
I saw you slowly dance the line
You kick up dust and treasures find
No gold or silver will you take
Said you with silver tongue and golden mind
Mobius, Mobius
It's been a week since you breathed snow
In darkened doorways of your home
You speak of freedom in your cell
Yet nails for snow are still left unfilled
Mobius, Mobius
Where will you go? What will you eat?
Your violence barred, but peace bears teeth
The silence hastily slipped away
Will go to lead uneven hearts astray
Mobius, Mobius
Mobius, Mobius

Crazy, crazy, crazy*---
Are you crazy too?*----
Will you let me sit here*----
And talk to myself with you?*----
Cause I take pills
And can't stand still
I got hands that shake
And thoughts half baked
I'll share em with you
If you give me the time
If it don't make sense
Don't pay me no mind
Oh, me oh, my
I'm out of mine*----
Just how many lemons*----
Does it take to make*----
Sick on bitter saccharine*----
Life made lemonade*----
The dotted line was signed in blood
But the fine print don't account for floods
So you waged order tryin to sweet the deal
But the deal got flipped, then made you it's meal
Oh me oh, my
This time's for real*----

Daring Grace
03:14
|

|
The winding ways I wandered
Could still lead me lost
Catastrophes I pondered
Still have bite of frost
When by illness stricken
My names sound like deceit
Good health is not yet written
But heart with steady beat
I don't think I
Will tire even
On the millionth phrase
For there to be
Tomorrow we
Must have courage today
Daring Grace I long for
Will come at its own pace
My elegance is fragile
A white porcelain case
With feet that keep on walking
I'm making history
Each moment that I’m taking
Is valiant victory
I don’t think I
Will tire even
On the millionth phrase
For there to be
Tomorrow we
Must have courage today

Soul's Bouquet
03:33

They say that winter’s coming
But I can’t smell it in the air
No frosted dew on blades of grass
Nor windy bellows dare
To shake the leaves off from my branches
Though some are already dead
They say that winter’s coming
But I see Spring ahead
Yeah, Ooo
They say that Fall’s not over yet
But the frost came early ‘round
My seeds they still need planting
Before the snow falls down
I wish I had just one more day
Of smiles from the Sun
They say that Fall’s not over yet
But for me---- It’s work is done
Ooo
If seeds are never sewn
Then seeds they’ll always stay
So with my heart I’ll kneel down
And grow a soul’s bouquet
To marry all the seasons
That give and take away
Mystery’s not lack of reason
It’s life’s purest embrace
Ooo
And if I’ve found I’ve sunken in
To a ditch I dug too deep
I know that light will always win
And in my heart I’ll keep
The Hope of new and Grace of Old
Find the love inside
I’ll keep on scraping out the mold
And rolling with the tide
Yeah Ooo

The Sock Song
02:20

|
Brother, Lend me your feet
Brother, I can see
That what you need is
A hug on your toes
Pretty designs
That no one knows
What you need is
Some socks on your feet
Bringing you joy endlessly
Ooo
Sister, lend me your feet
Sister, I know what you need
Whether it’s mid calf
Or all the way to your knees
Hidden by boots
Or flying free
What you need is
Some socks on your feet
Bringing you joy endlessly
Ooo
Partners, battling
To keep my soles clean
Eventually,
The smell filled the air
Had to trade you out
For another pair
But you went and got lost
In the washing machine
That was being mean tryin to get you clean
I miss you
I miss you, sock

Sanity

Sleeping on a riverbed
Not dreaming anymore
Sanity, she beckons me
To cry on silver shore
Whiskey’s dry
And dark surrounds
I’m certain luck’s run out
But Sanity, She comes around
And whisks away my doubt
Sanity, Oh, Sanity
Sometimes I think you lie to me
Too good to be true
If you had asked me in the ruin
Sanity, Oh, Sanity
Your call is crystal light that’s shinin
Bringin me a steady heart of love
Forward we will go until
There’s no more yards to run
Clarity, you will fulfill
The promise of the sun
Wolves in packs and rats that nest
All at once show their teeth
But Clarity, You’ve a wedding dress
And not a gown of grief
Clarity, Oh, Clarity
Sometimes I think you lie to me
Too good to be true
If you had asked me in the ruin
Clarity, Oh, Clarity
Your call is crystal light that’s shinin
Bringing me a steady heart of love
And when I’m down and on the floor
With loneliness and pain
Humility’s worthwhile chore
Says “It’s not all in vain”
For Clarity and Sanity
Have won the war that welled within me
Their compass north is true
And led me through the greatest ruin
Clarity and Sanity
Their call is crystal light that’s shinin

Westward Gazer

I was a westward gazer
Looking at the sunset blazing
Night fallen over my head
And of my wishes least
To see her shining in the East
A companion of evening I’d been
Turn your heel
There is still day to break
A shift to Dusk
From that twilight embrace
And highest of all
When you fall on your face
Give thanks for the Innocent Grace
A few too many graveyard groans
I think I’ll keep in gardens grown
I’d rather push roses than daisies
I’m seeing future’s open doors
Not beating on an old dead horse
And wearing the pearls that I’m making
Turn your heel
There is still day to break
A shift to Dusk
From that twilight embrace
And highest of all
When you fall on your face
Give thanks for the Innocent Grace
I've turned my heel
There is no time to waste
A shift to dusk
From that twilight embrace
And highest of all
I give thanks for the Innocent Frace
