To Sing True of Love
05:00
|
|||
Experience & Wisdom
Crossing a desert searching
For an answer
Does it take a wounded heart
to sing true of love?
Experience boasting loudly,
"You know not until you know me,
There is no other way."
He continues bragging,
"I am the way to knowing.
So why do I doubt?"
Wisdom leans in slowly
Whispering ever so gently,
"You'll know when I go away."
When Silence comes to meet them
There is understanding between them
Though they are not the same
Experience & Wisdom
Come to see the question
And answer one and the same

Riding Lightning
03:43
|
|||
It all started at 5 years old
Getting mad running away from home
Running wild the whole day long
Until twilight came and you heard mama calling
Run run run
Got to run away
Run run
Got to run away
Growing up you'd watch the trains
Rolling in, then going out again
Lonesome whistle singing through the dust
Steel wheels shakin' off rust
Run run run
Got to run away
Run run
Got to run away
Hold on, hold on
Riding lightning
Hopping trains landed in some mid-west town
Where you met Robin couldn't keep secrets down
Oh to find freedom & love
Dressed in rags coal soot and mud

Early In the Morning
04:39
|
|||
One more chance
So begins the dance
One more gift
We choose what to do with
Energy, light
Night subsides
Warmth & color
Turn the hourglass over
Sun comes calling
Heed this warning
Day is dawning
It's early in the morning
Face to face
Blessing this place
Everything grown
Everything shown
Energy, light
Night subsides
Warmth & color
Turn the hourglass over
Sun comes calling
Heed this warning
Day is dawning
It's early in the morning
Mind is the flower
Consciousness waters
In sun perfection
Ever reaching, growing
Energy, light
Night subsides
Warmth & color
Turn the hourglass over
Sun comes calling
Heed this warning
Day is dawning
It's early in the morning

True Love
03:39
|
|||
Falling like a shooting star
All around so close, so far
Bright and shining in the night
True love as celestial light
Lunar pull bring waves to shore
Brought in lost at sea no more
Love as natural as the tide
True love as the ocean wide
True love grows
True love shows
In my heart when I give my
True love
Now I know true love and I can live
Now I know true love and I can die

Two Lovebirds
03:05
|
|||
Two lovebirds flying from a tree
One is you and the other me
I can't tell just what to sing
To make your little heart soar with the wind
Two lovebirds riding on a breeze
You and I have weathered most everything
Burned in cold shivered in heat
Love birds are good at landing on two feet
Two lovebirds up in the sky
Blue as a Robin's egg clear as the ocean wide
Sun come down and the wind come up
That's where you and I have met, what luck
Two lovebirds whistling' their tune
Crow come along and say, "That ain't nothin' new"
They turn to crow and say, "That may be true,
But I'd rather sing what's in my heart than try to please you."

Surfer Billy
04:21
|
|||
When I comb back my hair I make the surfer chicks go wild
My six pack is known to make all the middle school girls sigh
I love a new one each day and I don't care when they cry
I'm too good looking to let anything shake up my good time
Oh, when you see Surfer Billy
In just a moment you will feel the sinking in of my teeth
In Redondo I make all the kooks go run and hide
Me and the homies is dangerous crazy and will fight
Our spot is only for locals, they know that they can't ride
Go ahead and drop in on my wave and you will find
Oh, that when you see Surfer Billy
In just a moment you will feel the sinking in of my teeth
The sun sets into the ocean, I'm on the beach until night time
I skate the strand but what I'm looking for I never do find
These nights reflective I wonder as I gaze into the bonfire
Is it ego or boredom that's stoking my violent mind?
Oh, when you see Surfer Billy
In just a moment you will feel the sinking in of my teeth

Mermaid Chant
03:55
|
|||
She took my heart from me
The mermaid from the angry sea
Riding on a wave of green
Calling as the siren's sing
When I hit the rock
My bow broke and so did my heart
And I drowned for love of she
The mermaid from the angry sea
My life long I've looked for thee
The mermaid from the angry sea
Old tales stirred the heart in me
To touch not what the eye can see
I chose a sailor's life
In part just to catch a sight
Of a love could never be
The mermaid from the angry sea
She took my life from me
The mermaid from the angry sea
I'd sailed every ocean wide
My heart ever desert dry
Though to find this dream
Would mean the end of me
Still I sail my boat towards thee
The mermaid from the angry sea

Wormtongue
05:28
|
|||
Wormtongue slithers slips like a lisp on lips
Hither thither quivers and shivers like hips
You know nothing unless I let it slip
You know your heart flips when I let you hear this
and it gets inside
If you ever get the message wrong
Blame Wormtongue
Wormtongue hides bides time silent in cheek
Jaws slide like taps just enough to let leak
The news is sweet but Wormtongue's breath
Sours the taste of these words nonetheless
They get inside
If you ever get the message wrong
Blame Wormtongue
Put the cup up to my ear
Through the string heard a little whisper
Wormtongue stirs doubt into the pot
Draws the spoon up to taste the mixture
I listened to the gossip tact in tow
Concerning lives of people I did not know
But unlike the Crow cackling to the wind
This music-less chatter devoid of any meaning
still got inside
Though I can't lay the blame for long
On old Wormtongue

Summer Sunset
03:15
|
|||
Wait for summer, wait for sunset
Wait for dawn and the perfect set
I can't wait any longer
When this feeling keeps on growing stronger
Wait for morning, wait for starlight
Wait for high tide and the storm to subside
I can't wait any longer
I can feel the next wave rolling stronger
Wait for summer, wait for sunrise
Wait for the gloaming and the flicker of firelight
I can't wait any longer
When this feeling keeps on growing stronger
Wait for comet, wait for acceptance
Wait for a shooting star to invite us
I can't wait any longer
I can feel the next wave rolling stronger
Looking out from the edge of the whole world
Over the ocean the sun and the moon turn
Looking out from the edge of it all
I almost never existed at all
Wait for summer, wait for sunset
Wait for dawn and the perfect set
I can't wait any longer
I can feel the next wave rolling stronger
