sun let me down
fading here like a snakeskin
laid in the dirt down by the woods
where i'd walked in
only comes back when you're broke or lonely
as it comes now
oh i'm ready
i'm waiting
ooo
held in the dark here
we've made ourselves home
painting the long grass
and the fog in its high dome
keep our hands wet round the clock
every hour
oil, berries
and the waves
and the flowers
ooo
wait for the old sound of the wheels turning over
and how the bird calls when the night settles inward
i waited all week and all winter
(the long one)
for light up the long hill
hoping that it's a bright one
oh my sun
come home to me
i've been waiting
for your light
on wood deck
i'm fading
ooo

Forest Home
05:19
|

walkin late / circled home
purple night and all alone
turning off through the trees
turning on to the leaves
to the woods (forest home)
mix the walls and raise the dome
growing greens / sewing clothes
moon and sun comes and goes
seek it out / water starts
don't forget the earth and art!
yeah money is real but not that way
all you got will go away
so we're waiting hard (forest home)
come to life / like a poem
singing sweet songs of rain
be the sun and come again

Dolphins

sometimes i think about saturday's child
and all about the times we were runnin wild
i've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
oh / sometimes i wonder if you think of me
well i'm not the one to tell this world how to get along
i only know that peace will come after all the hate is gone
i've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
oh / sometimes i wonder if you think of me
this old world will never change the way it's been
and all your ways of war couldn't change it back again
i've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
oh / sometimes i wonder if you think of me
sometimes i think about saturday's child
and all about the times we were runnin wild
i've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
oh / sometimes i wonder if you think of me
yeah i've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
oh / sometimes i wonder if you think of me

Love Song
05:21
|

there's a road we take in my mind
goin in the dark and not a sign
but the music goes and it's fine
there's a little place where we can rest
further down the line
only love made me want to drive
deep into the woods to get back to the mountain pining
oh the rolling songs / you bein mine
carry me out the other side
oh the other side
there's a place i know we'll make our way
just a little roof above the floor where the dogs can lay
and maybe one or two or eight or nine
places where the ones we love can rest
ease their troubled minds
only love made me want to ride
over to the cliff of how to be calm but still alive
and our dreams hung up there on the line
carry me out the other side
out the other side
there's a place i go to in my mind
where it seems the world is all the same and i'm left behind
but you just pull me out, take me outside
where it doesn't make a lot of sense
to live and try to hide
only love made me want to fly
high above the clouds and wind and rain
to see i am the sky
and to think i can't's the greatest lie (you say)
gliding me out the other side
oh the other side
there's a place we made, it took some time
put in the field we used to lay, all the rocks we find
and i can sleep there now, just feel the rain come down
knowin it'll help the flowers grow, that it won't be stayin
only love made me feel alive
wakin up to all the sounds around
all the thoughts and sights
in this time and space i think it's fine
to let it all carry us away
just to take a ride

Motion to the Sea
07:41
|
|||
motion to the sea
oceans, you and me
riding on our wave
tired, very brave
down then, down the coast
fruit trees and a ghost
slept out on the moon
not home, be back soon
ooooo
motion through the trees
walk in on our knees
old growth, river song
carry us along
back home to the grey
fogged in every day
but it burns off like we do
slow and soft and true
ooooo
motion like the sea
no end, only free
such a long time learning how
to be here and now
so, so long! can't complain
been held these easy days
off now to the sky
cleared out, ridin high
ooooo

Blue August Moon
02:41
|
|||
brown eyes and i were tired
we had walked and we had scrambled
through the moors and through the briars
through the endless blue meanders
in the blue august moon
in the cool august moon
over the nights and through the fires
we went surging through the wires
through the towns and all the highways
through the storms and all their thundering
in the blue august moon
in the cool august moon
well we rested in the desert
where the bones were white as teeth, sir
and we saw st. elmo's fire
spitting ions in the ether
in the blue august moon
in the cool august moon
in the blue august moon
in the cool august moon
yeah in the blue august moon
in the cool august moon

take care of your dreams i

oh be what you love like
the moon and the sunlight

Into the Water
04:48

get out of bed
out of the house
out of your mind
out the door
onto the lawn
out to the road
down the street
up on the hill
out to the beach
into the water
into the water
not every day
just when you can
alone if you need
go for a walk
out in the air
under the clouds
remember the wind
look at the birds
moving as one bird
into the water
into the water
i may be young
but not for long
but all my life
what can i do?
where did i go?
how do go on?
out at the beach
watching the waves
coming and coming
into the future
into the future
get out of bed
out of the house
out of my mind
walk out the door
out to the street
onto the trail
move through the woods
into the air
into some more woods
into the future
into the future
out on the beach
out of our heads
that's where we'll go
feet on the ground
walk up the dunes
down to the waves
into the sky
into ourselves
we carry our bodies
into the water
into the water
