Lovin You
I’ll be lovin you
Bigger than the ocean
And harder than the hardest
Wind
I’ll be loving you
Daytime and the evening
Through your howling and your
Screamin
Oh yeah
summers comin and the
waves pull at my feet
I’ll be loving you
Singing in the breeze
oh yeah
La da da da da da
da da da da da
La da da da da da
Da da da da
Hey there sugar
Can you feel how heavy
I am layin it
Comin over
Can you breath can you breath can you breath
Into it oh!
THANK YOU
Thank you
For never being here
That’s what made me
Find myself there
When the words won’t come
and the feelings won’t go
as I fall to sleep
love all over myself again
thank you
for holding on so long
only you could
break my fall
sitting on the stairs again
cut your fears in half
advancing slowly towards the
world that’s waiting
turning out the sides again
we’re making space for breathing
want to call out your name
get lost in it’s meaning
visions passing by the door
the sunlight is streaming
turn the corner one more time
and suddenly
we’re dreaming
thank you
for early mornings
Seahorse
Anxious heart poetics
I left them in seattle
Pulling creatures out
From under my mane
We’re riding the same wave
The same wave
With your left hand and your right eye
Held you up to the sky
And saw my shadow
Your one step
over the edge
And I am one step
Back from the line
Maybe if we reached out
at the same time
heavy hitters
contemplating
there next big move
if your gonna swing those fists
then you have to ask
where’s it gonna land
the fields are bruised half as bad
mishap misfit large lipped
hypocrite
carrying such a heavy load
cause I wanted to love it
but I left it all alone
turned over once
turned over twice
and heaved the sigh every creature knows
it’s cryptic
and caged
wilder than a snake
wraps round your arm then hangs up ugly
held by my own horns
the crash rings empty
the halls ring silent
the heart renders blank
as the story unfold
and now I’m joining the army
standing in harms way
cause I feel safer in a uniform
and as your head
fell to the ground
it echoes only as long as we exhale
COAST
And we’re traveling down the coast
Dusty roads and mountain bends
And the sky is getting old
And you never know
if you’ll see him again
but I made myself too vulnerable
another hardened rusty friend
and we’re letting them all go
as we follow the light
to the end
sometimes
the hardest thing to do
is nothing when you find your resting place
in velocity
your trembling easy
forgetting time and space
the sky opens up
in the embrace
PAPER TIGER
When it has all come undone
And your blowing it into the wind
It rides the tides of eastern suns
Like a paper
Tiger
As you open your hands
It crawls out and away
never coming back
HURRICANE
Gonna take it down to the water
Gonna ride it to the shore
Nothing left to carry
But I wear a heavy sword
The wind is blowing
The rain is coming down
And I am standing
In the eye of the storm
Battling my demons
Try not to be violent
My liver is screaming
But I am silent
Hold me down and I
Fall away
The hurricane is calling me
To come out and play
Like a raven in the wind
Letting go and falling in
The wind is blowing
The rain is coming down
And I am standing
In the eye of the storm
N O T A D R E A M
Wars are burning, no ones learning
Where the hell is our fury
Watching like it’s sport and moving slow
Always running, never humming
Singing is just too funny
Will we ever let it go
Cannablism and eating chicken
Fighting over our religion
will we ever find home
holding closer, folding over
never wanting to get older
will we ever learn to grow
wanting you to follow me
into the sea, until we fall into the sky
and find that we’re home
listening and glistening to opening
and holding, laughing, crying needing, bleeding, breathing
just believing.
will we ever find soul?
how could you have left me
if you loved me, left me
left me, loved me,
loved me but you left me all alone
hold me closer fold me over
watch me dance, bring me clover
it’s never too late
to break your mold
wanting you to follow wanting you to follow me
into the sea, until we fall into the sky
and find that we’re home
listening and glistening to opening
and holding, laughing, crying needing, bleeding, breathing
just believing
we must find our soul!

brother its your birthday, wanna sing to you
bout how you came, and how you grew
it was that dark blue time for night
you were the first star, before the night
mamma its your birthday, wanna sing to you
like all the times you sang, to get me through
oh mamma it’s your birthday, wanna paint you blue
so you can run through the town, like the children do
and papa, oh papa
I could never get enough
Papa, oh papa
I miss you just that much
So baby now it’s just you and me
We’ll ride that wind into the see
Turn the world till we turn back home
Find out that we’re still alone
but I’m singin here, livin free
roots are just the base of me
wandering, falling free
never too late to catch my dream
O D E T O D I V O R C E E
sittin on a weekday
chasin the clouds away
can’t see the stars anyway
standin on a weekend
alone in your apartment
fallin apart easily
then comes in Sunday and I begin to pray
for just one more day
cause I can’t face Monday
until you make your way
back into my arms again
come back ah ah ah
come on
lookin through springtime
for summer’s arms
then I fall to winter’s bitter end
January, Febu… i love you! i love you!
won’t you March right in
planting seeds
but harvesting weeds
what am I missing
with barren branches
the ships collapsing
mayday mayday mayday
Mayday Mayday Mayday
come back
come on
oh aahhhhhhhh
then one morning
you’ll be mourning
the sun risin over
the peak of my breast
and in the evening
the children will be asking
what your after
so come back
come on
oh aaahhhhhh
MY LOVE
I’ll always be your friend
I’ll stay with you forever
And I will feel your heart
Beating like it never
Was hurt
I’ll take you in my arms
We’ll dance
The night together
Through our fears and aging parts
We’ll watch ourselves get better
My love
My love
My love
All these broken things
Let them crawl back into the dark
Build ourselves some new wings
of starlight
And like the tornado
We’re gonna lay low
But I will tear you from your heart
Yes I will tear you from your heart
you can hold it close
Cause I’m the farthest that you’re ever gonna go
Oh please
say your gonna come
slow to me
OPEN
When the door swings open
And the ground before u cracks
And your left lookin
at the
gaping five mile ocean
My hearts in my hands
My palms are open
Oh lord
I know
I know
