If 02:06
If, upon my waking eyes I’d find yours gazing into mine Then I could rise Forgetting time And pass the days in thoughts sublime Lose the reason- Keep the rhyme Remind me why me soul does climb Don’t let our love become a crime For I have tasted your sweet wine

When they tell you love is forever Does that include yesterday And all the times before you knew The one who met your eye Was it waiting in the wilderness And counting all the ways Our paths could cross And we’d combine And give our fate a try Was there ever a world without you? Was I ever truly alone? It seems we came into the world As two When they tell you love is forever Does that include yesterday And all the times before you knew The one who met your eye Was it waiting in the wilderness And counting all the ways Our paths could cross And we’d combine And give our fate a try Was there ever a doubt within me? The truth was always known The cosmos set my soul En route for you When they tell you love is forever Does that include yesterday And all the times before you knew The one who met your eye Was it waiting in the wilderness And counting all the ways Our paths could cross And we’d combine And give our fate a try

The Truth 03:12
The story of a lasting love runs deep beneath the ground we walk Rivers run between our thoughts and offer up their helpful talk It flows about us in our veins and fills us with a warming glow It circulates and demonstrates a feeling that I’ve come to know A feeling that I’ve learned to find Throughout the world and in my mind A feeling that can overflow When you come by and say hello I find myself more satisfied The longer we sit side by side Each stride we take brings life anew I couldn’t hide my love for you Your gentle face reflects the stars, Your laugh rings out like sweet guitars You are the qualities I see When love is what’s surrounding me Your tender touch reminds me why The breeze’s gentle lullaby Is bliss for restless dreamy eyes Oh what a prize your sweetness is Why deny a love like this? You are the shady afternoon The blissful kiss, the crescent moon You make a lovely story shine Within these searching eyes of mine You are the book I can’t put down You are the one who stole my frown You make me strong you make proud You make me want to sing out loud I find myself more satisfied The longer we sit side by side Each stride we take brings life anew I couldn’t hide my love for you I’m so glad I’ve finally found the truth Beauty and magic and romance and you

Together 02:25
There’s nothing like it Nothing like being with you the way our hips align the way our woes unwind There’s nothing like it When your fingers are in mine And you’re sitting at my side And there’s nothing to hide Let’s be together babe I’d never want to be Without you here So stay with me Let’s be forever babe I’d never want to be Without you here So stay with me There’s nothing like it Calling your name When I feel you around And my heart starts to pound There’s nothing like it Knowing that when I’m asleep Though dreams may lead me astray You’re by my side to stay Let’s be together babe I’d never want to be Without you here So stay with me Let’s be forever babe I’d never want to be Without you here So stay with me

Webs 05:34
We unwound And spun webs around town With the silky threads Of thoughts unbound You removed my crown To run your fingers through my hair And I was blissfully unaware Of all but the tingling pleasure there Until a stare catches my eyes And I realize Even kings can cry And I’ll forget your fingertips And I’ll forget the words and you said And I’ll forget the little songs That sprang up in my head And I’ll forget the little sighs You whispered in my ear But I’ll recall your sparkling laugh And I’ll recall the tears I wasn’t sure why I could have tried To apologize But my words were lost In frost and sighs But the breeze sweeps the wetness From under my eyes And much to my surprise I hear no lies And I’ll forget your fingertips And I’ll forget the words and you said And I’ll forget the little songs That sprang up in my head And I’ll forget the little sighs You whispered in my ear But I’ll recall your sparkling laugh And I’ll recall the tears You whisper your truth As secrets are signed And I’ll find my light While our web rewinds The lights fade away And fingertips stray Only secrets stay Memories for a rainy day
6.
Life becomes a looking glass I start to pass right through the walls And oceans call With pitches that are stretched by time And wishes that were never mine I slide into a past sublime You’re old You’ve sold Your soul The hole You tore Is more Than your poor heart can take We fake emotions on the fly And wonder why we cease to care When we’re left dead and unaware Just where we left the time to try Your heart Might start To break in mine As falling sand leaks out of time
7.
Clay pots and kittens Twist their way Into my thoughts and paint my dreamscapes with the terracotta blues In my arms Or in my head Maybe it’s the same- It’s not the same I’m not with you So I hide myself In hallowed halls Her paintings on the walls My poems on the shelf I listen to my mind All these blinking lights Blurring in between these Little bouts of second sight Maybe on another day Death ignores us all Today he’s here to stay, though Today we take the fall So I hide myself in hallowed halls Her paintings on the walls my poems on the shelf Maybe on another day Death ignores us all But we can’t get away, no Our backs are to the wall Maybe on another day Death ignores us all Today he’s here to stay Hide myself In hallowed halls Her paintings on the walls My poems on the shelf

Another Day 04:00
I never really thought I’d sing the same sad story I never knew this song was just for you You never seemed to care, but I always did my best You never really let me break on through I turned around and found what I thought had been myself And found another loophole to crawl through Just another day where I watched it turn to grey again Just to try to get to you Didn’t really mind when I didn’t ever find my way Never really cried cuz I thought you’d always try to stay I’ll survive another day I’ll survive another day I tried to look through a picture of you my friend I tried to remember when I felt like it wouldn’t end If you come back I’m gone, I turn around Just in time to see who else you’ve found Didn’t really mind when I didn’t ever find my way Never really cried cuz I thought you’d always try stay I’ll survive another day I’ll survive another day
9.
Next time around I want the real deal Not the secondhand love you sold I want the love that was promised to me The kind that’s gonna set me free Not the lackluster love you know Next time around I won’t hide from the lies and a heart that’s not made of gold I’ll find the one who’s still waiting for me Passing the hours while sand slides to sea And I’ll smile while the story is told But I always remember That she’s not there Never was, never will be She moves like the air She’s all around me She’s everywhere But whenever I look She’s never there Next time around I’m gonna open my eyes And take a deep look in your soul I gotta see what you think about me I gotta see who you want me to be I gotta know if lovin you is gonna build me up or dig me a hole Next time around I’m gonna look for the truth And the lover who will watch me grow old I’ll find the one who was destined for me And we can have each other’s company And laugh about the feelings we hold Yes I always remember That she’s not there Never was, never will be She moves like the air She’s all around me She’s everywhere But whenever I look She’s never there She speaks to me but she doesn’t exist She kisses my cheek with morning mist She tugs at my fingers and messes my hair I turn around, she was never there

Spiral 03:47
It’s been ten years since my heart was first broken I suppose it was time to break it again I wouldn’t want to forget the way that first day I watched my muse turn and hurry away I suppose it’s time For a spiral to end Back where it started By losing a friend I suppose it’s time For a spiral to end Back where it started I’ll miss you my friend It’s been ten years since I laid pen to page And tried to work out how I felt Is it different this time? Or is the dance the same Rhythms and rhymes will tell And muffle out your name I suppose it’s time For a spiral to end Back where it started By losing a friend I suppose it’s time For a spiral to end Back where it started I’ll miss you my friend It’s been ten years since I sang the sad songs I’d almost forgotten that voice I’d never want to lose all the beauty I found When suddenly my love was nowhere around I suppose it’s time For a spiral to start My old love is ended Best open my heart I suppose it’s time For a spiral to start My old love is ended Best open my heart

Grow 02:00
I bleed, and then My roots extend And slashes mend And winter shines a sun All I have Is only what I need Plant another seed And grow
