River Of Sparks

Where may she be, my spiraling lady
Deep in the fires of the dark
I lay my head down in the lap of the lady
And bathe in the river of sparks
There's life and death
Death and life
And a black wound in every heart
Like ashes she poured
When the sweet night was over
Out of my cumbersome arms
She went down to the edge
Downward she wandered to bathe in the fires in the dark
Down to the end oh down my girl waded
Into the River of Sparks
Lay my head down
Lay my head down
Let this body rest
Lay this burden down
Lay this burden down
On my mother's breast
Where he may be
the lad whom I laid with
a thousand nights and more
well he's gone where the waters
Salve all remembrance
He's gone to the other shore
There's something he whispered that lives in our embers
Sparks that remember the soul
He vowed that in time he'd show me the secret
But i woke to a cold ring of coals
He went down to the edge
Downward he wandered To bathe in the fires in the dark
Down to the edge oh down my boy waded
Into the River of Sparks
Lay my head down
lay my head down
Let this body rest
Lay this burden down
Lay this burden down
on my mother's breast
Ohhh
Oh mother carry me
down to the sea
Down where my true love is waiting for me
oh mother mercy carry me home
Carry me down where the sweet water flows

Smoke

SMOKE
Say it like this
Wind moves through the trees
Smoke sets its sting, sets its sting on me
I am touched
I am moved
COUgh and Wheeze
Become aware of the breeze
Here we go-
Smoke I am water
Smoke, smoke I am water
Smoke, smoke I am water
Smoke, smoke
Help me to believe
Before it becomes a distant memory
To mix the shadows and light, go all the way
Beyond the beyond...
Say these words
Become beginning and end
Connect us to
An invisible thread
Everywhere
Smoke I am water
Smoke, smoke i am water
Smoke, smoke I am water
Smoke, smoke
Cast your heart into the fire
Step off the high wire
Standing on air
Floating free
Beyond the beyond
Smoke I am water
Smoke, smoke I am water
Smoke, smoke I am water
Smoke, smoke

WATCHING THE WORLD
I spent the morning waiting for the dawn by your side
A smile of awaiting for you was for me a reluctant goodbye
I spent the morning waiting for the dawn by your side
A smile of awaiting for you was for me a sorrowful goodbye
You were tasting new beginnings while i was...
Watching the world, watching the world come down
Sorrow looks like anger when words are hard to find
But the waters of a teardrop are redder that wine
You can show someone the truth
We have to find our won understanding
Your words come from love
But it's not what I haven't already thought
We have to find our won understanding
Watching the world, watching the world come down
Your words come from love
But it's not what I haven't already thought
We have to find our own understanding
Watching the world. watching the world come down
Words cannot describe that moment in time, that moment time
The red in the sky i could see in your eyes, I could see in your eyes
Watching the world, watching the world come down

Sweetest Thing

SWEETEST THING
There's something heavy and light
Going on in my mind
I dare not come out and say it
It's a thought out of time
And if I stacked our days like a deck of a cards
And stare at it through a glass jar
I'd see your face for the very first time
Maybe I've never really seen it yet.
I don't think i ever told you
You're the sweetest thing, that's happened to me
You're the sweetest that's happened to me
You're the sweetest thing that's happened to me
And a ring did appear
It jumped right through the class
A heart shaped token of love that came from the past
To shift the deck is not to lose
To say I'm sorry for not really seeing you
Love, how long can it last
Forever stuck inside a glass
I don't think I ever told
You're the sweetest thing, that's happened to me
You're the sweetest thing that's happened to me
You're the sweetest thing that's happened to me

NOTEBOOK
Words in my notebook where's there's no safe refuge
Thought will be pried open for you to peruse
We work, work, work and fight
Body's sore day and night
At the center is the flame, I stay close to its fire
The beauty and grace of a bird sitting on a wire
I search and wonder if it gets easier
But that makes it harder, so much harder
I look outside, I look inside
And I scan you darkly
Where am I?
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how to deal
Feelings so complicated
Nothing stays the same
None of it goes away
Just words in a notebook
Choose your words wisely
They have power to sustain
I may want to get woke to what I felt this day
We work, work, work and fight
My body's sore day and night
Work, work, work and fight
Body's sore day and night
At the center is a flame, I stay close to its fire
The beauty and grace of a bird sitting on a wire
We work, work., work and fight
My body's sore day and night
Work, work, work and fight
Body's sore day and night
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how to deal
Feelings so complicated
Nothing stays the same
none of it goes away
Just words in a notebook

Whisper

WHISPER
Whisper in my ear
The wind is singing on a grassy hill
Like a lute, like a whistle, and a trill
Winding through my hair
My fingers are closed tightly
on bunches of golden hair
The lion shakes its mane and
Sends me flying through the air
Whisper in my ear
I'm weightless and broken
I am the atmosphere
Whisper in my ear
Like a vision of a prayer
I'll whisper through you there
Whisper in my ear
Of jaws that bite and tear
Howling through grass and matted hair
The wind doesn't care
The wind sings like a lute
Like a whistle with a trill
And I lie face down in pieces
Perfectly still
Whisper in my ear
I'm weightless and broken
I am the atmosphere
Whisper in my ear
Like a vision of a prayer
I'll whisper through you there
You can't even leave if you want
Because you are not really there
(You were never really there)
You can't even leave
Whisper in my ear
I'm weightless and broken
I am the atmosphere
Whisper in my ear I'm a vision of a prayer
I'm the wind and I don't care

HUNTER
You wake from a dream to a creak on the steps
The Hunter is coming, he is seeking your death
Walking in the shadow of total stealth
He comes in a shrouded light
You scream "I am here. please take my life"
in the cove, the cove of once
Upon a time
And you wake from a dream to a creak on the steps
oh god he is still coming from your innermost depths
Long wasted legs pausing last every step
He listens intently for your stifled hot breath
You feel the urge to scream out but you can't even breathe
Instead you are pleading "please take my life"
In the cove, the cove of once
Where we hid and we danced
Children swept up in a fairy romance
Where the sun shines in the mountainous grass
Rokcs mark the trail of a giant's path
In the cove, the cove of once
These are the wrong part of the woods
Don't go back to sleep
Where we hid and we danced
Children swept up in a fairy romance
Where the sun shines in the mountainous grass
Rocks mark the trail of a giant's path
In the cove, the cove of once
Upon a time

Wilderness

He's afraid of the dark
The trick is not to close the door all the way
When he closes his eyes, he's afraid to find his heart
Sing something good sing something beautiful
Sing something good sing something meaningful
We're all free
In this place in this endless sea
Of places, faces, one common humanity
We're longing to breakthrough
Freedom is real
Never apologize, never antagonize
every reaction is a part of the fraction
You'll be tested, believe me my friend
The closer you are the more will offend
We're alone, alone in the wilderness
Through the drone through the buzz of this life
There's a hint of mystery
I've built a thousand worlds and still imagine you next to me
We're longing to breakthrough
Longing to breakthrough
Freedom is real, freedom is real
Never apologize, never antagonize
Every reaction is a part of the fraction
You'll be tested, believe me my friend
The closer you are the more you will offend
We're alone in the wilderness

Fe Fi
I'm gathering up all my horses
No pawns left behind
Preparing for a long ride
A tale of high adventure, quiet courage
And steady pride
Cause winter has almost died
Fe fi fo fum
I'm gonna love you the best way I know how
Fe fi fo fum
I'm the big, bad wolf gonna tear your house down
Imagine a walk across a snowy expanse
In my Jacket and sneakers and city pants
Caught up in a blizzard
Howl one can it last?
Would you be there beside me
Cause winter has almost passed
Fe fi fo fun
I'm gonna love you the best way I know how
Fe fi fo fum
I'm the big bad wolf gonna blow your house down
We'll meet outside our comfort zone
I promise to take you far form home
A rendezvous in the great unknown
We'll build ourselves a brand new home
I want you to understand me
cause I seek to know you stranger
I want you
Fe fi fo fum
I'm gonna love you the best way I know how
Fe fi fo fum
I'm the big bad wolf
Gonna blow your house down

FLOODWOOD
We used to shoot for the sun
And swing form the moon
If we part ways now, do we really become two
The heart is a wide brimmed ocean
Spilling over into song
Those who sing them never lose
They're never gone
This dream that is life is life that's just a dream
A whirlwind of circles
A ghost staring through the glass of a mirror
Knowing I'm already dead
The heart is a wide rimmed ocean
Those who sing never lose
They're never gone
This feeling it's never here to stay
Nothing leads forward like being far away
I've become so buried under
The reckoning so sweet
It's something late October
And I'm trolling through the deep
In floodwood
This dream that is life
Is life that's just a dream
A whirlwind of circles
A ghost staring through the glass of a mirror
Knowing I'm already dead
The heart is a wide brimmed ocean
Those who sing never lose
They're never gone
This dream that is life is life that's just a dream
