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

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’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
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

Water Met Soil
04:01

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
