full circle
and there seems no end to these friends
on a wool couch
in the family room
they used to share
each time they meet there
he asks himself to be a little bigger
will you be a little bigger?
one foot steps in the cushion of his couch
her other on the floor
she moves her hand to knee
laying imprints on his dream
she moves close to declare
i have come full circle
his posture is poor
he resigns further more
he stares at her
foot on the ground
he withholds every, every sound
he pretends to be alone
on this couch, in this room
that she never cared for
and she says
i have come full circle
there seems no end
to these friends

i am wondering
if you are wandering
or if you're here to stay
am i following
years of hollowing
with nothing new to say?
so, so, i watch you
go, go on the roof
no, no more time to hide
my, my what have we here?
i, i am finding my fear
30 feet in the sky
way up here in the sky
go! go!
i am wondering
if you are wondering
what i am wondering
so, so, I watch you...

Lose

can't not want you
hope you can't not want me too
you should
lose yourself
slip in through
the roots
where
wild flowers smile
like stars
have it be
something new
from something blue
have it fragile
born with wings
baby
can't not want you
can't not want you
i hope you can't not want me too
lose yourself
slip in through
the roots
where
dragonflies
soar like stars
and they are you and me
have it be
something new
from something blue
have it fragile
born with wings
baby
can't not want you
hope you can't not want me too

Music for Charles

i sit down in line with you
rage plays reason
royal blues cry through
the sky of this passion
circus
has talons
from the tent
music
for the show
bossa nova
blows low,
warm from the wilt
of daisies
dying on his stone
i am the last convinced
you've been selling tickets
to the show
tickets for you
tickets to me
you celebrate the death
raise a melody and
lift a pint to music
i am the last convinced
i sit down beside you
as we deconstruct this quintet
two months ago
we sat on wooden stools
and bickered
now i wonder if you knew
and if you triggered this
i am the last convinced
it's later now, the show is over
you settle in the gray house stairs
you're praise endures, but like a gift unwrapped
before it's given
i am the last convinced
but i'm still here beside you
as you raise another pint
this time it's to love, i hear you say
and i laugh sardonically
although i find it difficult
i wish to confess
i have lost love for all of us...
here
deconstructing
this
quintet

another day
i could say
it would be fine
if it was some other way
it would be mine
now everything is alright
just alright
like a thousand days
each night

everyone seems to be having it
and i wait
i live my life scared of losing it
might as will live in a cabin far away
no i don't want to be alone
but i'm to scared to be with you
i'll just stay here with the door closed
waiting for you
board and stiff
life's escaped
board and stiff
but i remain
and what would happen
if i came to you
and i told you
i'm wanting you, wanting you...
scared and stiff
and i'm engaged
you kiss my lips
and i'm amazed

Song for Maria
05:49
|

|
another glass of wine
and the rose glistens through
the crystal sings
my finger sounds the blues
i want to know where you are tonight
and if i am a fool
i like to think we did right
but right is just a tool
legs slide inside the glass
like desperation, it will pass
i lift the stem to raise the rose
and no one knows
where you are tonight
and if i am a fool
i'd like to do it right but
right it just a tool
i'll settle for libations,
some imagination and my guitar
pretend you're crying, pretend you care,
pretend you're gone
pretend you're there
writing, playing, singing me a song
i want to know where you are tonight
and if i am a fool
i'd like to do it right
we should break all the rules

Inquiry
03:42
|

|
just about to go to the party
just about to go
thinking about you and yesterday
thinking about you and yesterday
could this be something?
laughing at myself as i contemplate
the rules of this game
now you know i live by procedure
just to be safe, safe
could this be something?
did you know when i let myself in
to feel the beauty in your skin?
held you hand in inquiry
to read your palm
for a glimpse of a chance that
this could be something

Pearl

showers my refresh
these spirits
pour I guess
to keep us
dry inside
dry inside
if i choose to be for you
i am something of a savior
calling as a martyr
surrender to the craving
i
burn
for this
behavior
a fist around a stiff one
another hand for you
should i choose
should i choose
should i choose
to let one slide
like an oyster
from her shell
might she find herself
a
precious
white
pearl

New Dreams
04:11
|
|||
|
14 filled with men, woman and child
these hands steady on the reigns
to take you to a better place
morning brings the dawn
though we lost some
ease back in my carriage
i am their courage
the one
my daughters sleep beneath this canape
as i lead this parade
from state to state
state to state
brave the cold
brave the hail
with Paw-knee on the trail
face the race
face to face
with Paw-knee on the trail
these times of hunger
are times of strength
we carve our way through history
here, there is no mistake
the mourning brings the dawn

it's a long road ahead
and she has this picture
of a long road ahead
on her rear-view mirror
in her cab
above the rest
he's got her
violet candle
on his stand
by his bed
he'll ignite that old flame
again
just to have
the strength to move is pen
he'll ignite that old flame
again
her's is a long road ahead
and he's lost her handle
but he'll light her candle
one last time
tonight
he'll ignite that old flame
again
there's a picture of a couple
smiling in his hand
lowered in the fire
let the bond expire
let the bond expire
