The Poet 03:57
THE POET It was December with a gentle snow Pulled a ladder to the white window Where a magic man placed his hat And the fire burned down too low It was the hour of the owl’s last call Where every being’s where it belongs Sweaters so tall on people so small Sighs, floating in the alley way When the night wind blows, you make it so hard to go For days he walked to town For a candle and a new tooth crown With a smile for the ones he meets And a nod for the ones he’s known In the pocket where he placed his hands Is my lighter and a silver pen Can you make the fire burn Write the words to help a friend When the night wind blows, you make it so hard to go In the morning where he placed his hat Left a ring from the dew that formed From sighs and nods and words From the darkest hours and the turning world When the night wing blows, you make it so hard to go When the night wind blows, you make it so hard to go

The Inventor 03:57
THE INVENTOR (Hmmm, hmmm) He taps at a thought now A moment that he caught from a mind of endless dreaming She loosens the knot of a theory once exhausted by the thinkers and believers ever fleeting And I’m thinking it’s alright To love the ones who leave it all behind Illuminating notions of the one true idea The inventor catches shadows Turns the wheel, turns the key To my heart His brothers and his sisters, Made him tell the stories of a future without pain or fear or worry Her mother was a painter, her father was a gardener And the world became her canvas for or the blooming of her high fluorescent ideals, oh how everyone should know And I’m thinking it’s alright That from the darkness always comes the light Illuminating notions of the one true idea The inventor catches shadows Turns the wheel, turns the key To my heart That’s how it all goes, we follow those who broke the mold and have grown into a love with many faces One is for me, the rest to help us all believe In the makers of tomorrow and the breakers of the past to start anew I’ve been waiting for you I’ve been waiting for you (hmm-ahh-hmm…) And I’m thinking it’s alright That from the darkness always comes the light Illuminating notions of the one true idea The inventor catches shadows Turns the wheel, turns the key To my heart (Hmmm, hmmm)

I’LL BE SEEING YOU I write you a letter, I write you a song It’s the only way I know how to stay strong I’m filling up my days with coffee that’s strong And wondering about the things that went wrong I lived my life to escape my flaws Chasing gold when glitter was all there was In the stillness of this morning light I’m wondering about what I did right mmm, mmm I found you, then I found me again For once in my life it was over And when over fell through, I had to find me again And when all that we know leads us back, my friend I’ll be seeing you I wonder how we’ll get where we’ve been going Two roads diverged and the map got torn What we found on the other side of the fold Was a new beginning as the sun rose And all beginnings have ends But I’ll still be seeing you my friend Once I’ve found my head And I’m wondering again Of when I found you, then I found me again For once in my life it was over And when over fell through, I had to find me again And when all that we know leads us back, my friend I’ll be seeing you

Home With Me 05:07
HOME WITH ME I get lost in the music of the motion of your hands as you speak The kettle’s singing on the stove, I don’t know 'cause you’re looking at me It’s the boiling of our heartbeats, louder than the sea Darling all this city noise is only noise to me And I rolled up one sleeve and said please don’t you worry tonight If we try too hard we may never get it right And you tell me I'm wrong and I'll never see the light I don’t think it’s worth the fight You took it all away, now I know you only mean well You showed me how to bleed and To fight for what I needed It’s the only thing keeping me free when you’re home with me When you're home with me And you talk and I think and I walk and there’s nowhere to go Oh the big dark sky has swallowed me whole And you just want to know, wanna know are we going too slow I don’t think so Let's get of this place where the grey meets the grey in the street Where the hot hard pound of the ground drives a man to greed And I'm drowning in the noise and I’m giving you the chance to see A better side of me. You took it all away, now I know you only mean well You showed me how to bleed and To fight for what I needed It’s the only thing keeping me free when you’re home with me Ahhhh you took it all away, now I know you only mean well You showed me how to bleed and To fight for what I needed It’s the only thing keeping me free when you’re home with me When you're home with me

Once I walked to the mountain top Where a lake lay still like glass on rock And I knew this was all that I wanted now So I took off my shoes, and I looked around I felt so tired, I felt so free With the mirror of the sky in front of me This life that moved so wild and free Said I, oh I was meant to be I touched the ground where water met soil Where a small green sprout had just uncoiled And I knew there was so much more to see So I stepped into the mystery I felt so alive, I felt so free As the mirror of the sky moved through me A moment without gravity Said I, oh I was meant to be (Mmm, Mmm) (Ahh, Ahh) We all must walk, we all must breathe The sky’s not as far as it seems to be What can we do, what can we believe If all we know grows up to be free What can we do, what can we believe If all we know grows up to be free
