Mother Tongue

The whole world is speaking to you, dear
You move in time, it feels so clear
You spoke some words that I might hear
Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me
Place some flowers in a jar
Open curtains, looking far
See you shining like a gem
Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me
The time is gone the absence long
Feel like I'm breaking a brick wall
One thing will quench this drying parch
Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me
There's a change in the wind
A fork in the road
There's a light on my wall
It's shining like home
Interpret signs and paint it on
A thousands eyes, a thousand gems
You spoke a word that set on fire
Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me

For the Morning

Johnathon, have you written upon your window pane?
Is it freedom shook, all that took to wash away the pain
that you told me about again,
that you told me about again?
Has it broke apart, shook your heart
to subterranean depths?
Has it found your will and sapped it still
and left you without rest?
(For the morning)
That you told me about again.
That you told me about again.
Caroline, in your eyes, a sweet and subtle color.
Does it match the hue of something your knew or something once regarded
that you told me about again,
that you told me about again?
Has it broke apart, shook your heart
to subterranean depths?
Has it found your will sapped it still
and left you without rest?
(For the morning)
That you told me about again.
That you told me about again.

I am not a mythic
just a feeling that I get
when the bower's already set
with flowers in the yard
I was a lion in the dark
whatever hit me there
is no place that I care
to purchase or receive
Palindrome of life
Monochrome device
Fortune lady stands on top
with a halberd in her hand
a proven fighting plan
for getting far in life
Irony saves the day
filters out what I can't say
gets up early everyday
to pray for what he wants
Palindrome of life
Monochrome device
Palindrome of life
Monochrome device
Mahatma's going down
to the unemployment line
picks up women every time
and bores them all to tears
Pauline Browne shakes it hard
is grounded in the force
never made a quick divorce
from trying all the time
Palindrome of life

So Stricken By
03:34

My love is a loaded gun
I'm all shook up and awake
So stricken by
So sickened by
My love is a statue chaste
A pearly texture and fixed gaze
So stricken by
So sickened by
Forty years on the whispering wind
Forty more 'til I sink or swim
So stricken by
So sickened by
And I never left myself
Sinking down into these flames
Watch this water rising up
Into the flame
Like a horse unbridled
Like a fist in a ball of rage
So stricken by
So sickened by
Turn the lights off it's over now
Lay your weary head to rest
So stricken by
So sickened by
And I never left myself
Sinking down into these flames
Watch this water rising up
Into the flames

Stones in the Air

Let me illustrate what I need, what I feel
How long until it's real?
I'm in luck, I'm in deep
Clearer than the pictures that I keep
Stones in the air come tumbling down and crashing
Flash to a scene of white-tipped roses
My baby
Let me lie prostrate on the ground in the weeds
Grabbing all I see
And my face is all blurred
How long will I burn to earn my keep?
Stones in the air come tumbling down and crashing
Flash to a scene of white-tipped roses
My baby
Let me communicate without eyes, without ears
Someone's beyond their years
And I'll feel exiled
Gone with all this silver in my life
Stones in the air come tumbling down and crashing
Flash to a scene of white-tipped roses
My baby
My baby's good to me

Reunion

Time has a way of clearing my eyes
So for long you were there
Never knew if you cared
Down in the heart is the life that I know
Where my life is unbound
Hear the silence of sound
I always wanted just to be loved
Love from you and everyone
Like a shadow to the sun
Follow wherever your light my roam
Through the sage and the pines
Through the briers of life
Down in the heart is the life of these hills
Where my life is unbound
Always lost always found
Time has a way

Dig a Hole
04:44
|

|
Shine a light on it all
Bring it out in the air
Dig a hole in the ground
Fill it up with your life
I won't ever be the same
I won't ever feel the same
Couldn't stand that man
Every time she's pushed around
Rectified that life
Got away from him
She won't ever be the same
She won't even say his name
Who the hell are we
Hopes and thoughts and dreams
Drying up in the yard
Pull me up from the ground
Oh my Grace I have found
Oh my Grace I have found
Oh my Grace I have found
You're the star of the show
You can burn and you can glow
Hold it all in your hand
Only feeling that you have left
Hold it tightly so your hands turn red
Only feeling you have left
Hold it tightly so your hands turn red
Only feeling you have left

Dancing Song

Write it on
on the mirror when you wake
Write it on
on the simple things you take
All the times
that we lost the ground from our feet
Everyday
is a chance to feel as sweet
What can I say?
Just love me everyday
What can I do?
Just love being me and you
How can I see anyone but you?
Put it on
on the shelf where you can see
Put it on
and shake yourself clean
All the times
that we lost the ground from our feet
Everyday
is a chance to feel as sweet
What can I say?
Just love me everyday
What can I do?
Just love being me and you
How can I see anyone but you?
What can I say?
Just love me everyday
What can I do?
Just love being me and you
How can I see anyone but you?
