Our hearts take us places our minds can't go and stairs that lead to nowhere fool us and sticks and stones and names break our bones while children spin on merry go-rounds... Raindrops fall into their right places Fall leaves blowin know which way to go So why am I so afraid, afraid just to be alone In the silence in between my thoughts? Chorus: Another trip around the sun was over just before it had begun. What just happened? Did anyone notice? All the while, we're on a big spaceship Too vast to notice it's not flat at all And there are no monsters lurkin at the edges Only monster costumes and silt... on this air balloon, tethered to the moon Oh, what a view! Our lives are a tangle of stories We find all these reasons to live Ticking, always ticking, tickin like a time bomb As we dance gracefully through space... Another trip around the sun was over just before it had begun. What just happened? Did anyone notice?

Blue Nightingale (2009) Blue Nightingale resting on my shoulders Its weight is makin me older Findin the space where I can breath Doesn't feel so easy Doesn't feel so easy... (Chorus chant) Blue Nightingale calling me home Home to where the White Buffalo roam To go or to stay is to live or to die And either which way there's a tear in my eye Either way there's a tear in my eye Blue Nightingale resting on my bones The vultures have gone and left me alone If singin is all that can make me alive Well, I wanna sing til the day that I die I wanna sing til the day that I die!

Flying a Kite in my Underwear (2010) Our love is the same, and the colors slide by Every song I sing for you there is no try You lead me to water and pour me my drink Deliver my poem, dripping with wet ink "Do or do not, be and breathe, slowly now, cuz' slow is fast, My dear go with the flow, Time is Vertical you know..." A bench in the weather, hair turns to feathers Beds pushed together, for now and for never I'm flyin' a kite in my underwear, and you're there You're there Now we're down the road, and the colors filled in We redraw the lines from time to time, begin again to color in Your way is new to me, with every turn I sit down now and then, be still and learn You wake me with a lullaby, the dream becomes the day Softly on my ear, your guitar welcomes in the Sun in waves... I sing the harmony, my fingers on the keys Arch my back to feel the song a little deeper whisper to me please I'm flyin' a kite in my underwear, and you're there You're there
