When you’re waiting around
There’s nothing like the simple sound
Of music in the air
Follow the sound
Until you find the sweetest scene
Buskers playing without a care
Tip of the hat
Wag of the finger
Linger just a little bit more
Open your eyes
Open your heart
If you don’t use them, what are they for?
What are they for, what are they for?
A forgotten world of pleasantries
All the wonder gone a masked magician lets you see
Who even has the time anymore?
When you’re running away got your foot caught in the door
Slow down
There’s nothing like a simple little song
Lay down
Upon the grass and look up with a sigh
Oh, beautiful sky
What do you see?
Just past the leaves
That blue, blue, blue, blue dream
Where does it start?
Where does it end?
Some of the answers we’ll never know
Never know, never know
A forgotten world of pleasantries
All the wonder gone a masked magician lets you see
Who even has the time anymore?
When you’re running away got your foot caught in the door
When you’re waiting around
There’s nothing like the simple sound of
Da en da da bwee ah
Bop en doo doo doot
Bweedle deedle dee ah
Da en da da bwee ah

The Flood

What I wanna say aloud
Isn’t gonna bring about, bring about
I’d been down a while
My goodness oh my grief
Then I saw your smile
Sweetness oh relief
Burn on guiding light
And warm a woman’s blood
Together we can fight
The greatness of the flood
Living in a cloud of doubt
Each breath it hurts my throat
Tuning in then zoning out
So hard to stay afloat
And they wonder why we want more
When we’re drowning, we need the shore
I’d been down a while
My goodness oh my grief
Then I saw your smile
Sweetness oh relief
Burn on guiding light
And warm a woman’s blood
Together we can fight
The greatness of the flood
The greatness of the flood
The greatness of the…
When will the rain stop
When will the rain stop
Pouring over you and me
When will the rain stop
When will the rain stop
Pouring over you and me

Been inside so long I forgot to look up at the sky
Feeling so alone as the faces they keep scrolling by
Don’t ask why I’m hibernating
Here in my cocoon make you swoon, make you laugh, make you smile
Got no place to be you and me, sit and stare for a while
Bat an eye, I’m hibernating
Coo, coo, coo, coo
Coo, coo, coo, coo
Coo, coo, coo, coo
I’m doing fine
Not borderline
I think I’m fine I do
Let’s waste some time
Won’t change my mind
Waste all my time with you
Taking off the mask, hit a flask, and pour one for the homies
Thinking like a cat, eat and sleep, roll around, got the zoomies
Fritter fry, I’m hibernating

Well the world’s screwed up
Except for you and me
Except we’re all screwed up
Just like we’re meant to be
So let’s stay weird and wild and feared
Reckless, loved, and free
Oh it’s so messed up
All the things we see
And all the things we know
Just keep on happening
So let’s stay here and there but near
In peace and harmony
The hardest thing is simply just to be
Simply, simply be
I dream so close to you
I wake in faded hues
And when I die
I’ll open up the sky and dance
Well the world’s screwed up
Except for you and me
Except we’re all screwed up
Just like we’re meant to be
So let’s stay weird and wild and feared
Reckless, loved, and free
Oh it’s so messed up
All the things we see
And all the things we know
Just keep on happening
So let’s stay here and there but near
In peace and harmony
The hardest thing is simply just to be
Simply, simply be
I yawn, I sigh
I keep my head down
Nose out, smile
And when I try
Play all my heart strings
No doubt, cry

Sorry Man

You say you’re sorry
Whatever for?
Take back your sorry
Don’t apologize
Don’t you be afraid
You’re the master plan
My sorry man, my sorry man
When you’re filled with doubt
When your clouds are grey
Let me hold your hand
My sorry man, my sorry man
Nothing to do, no end in sight
We do our best to keep it light
One thing’s for sure that you’re
The only thing that’s right
Don’t run from what’s true
You should know by now I love you
Don’t apologize
Don’t you be afraid
You’re the master plan
My sorry man, my sorry man
When you’re filled with doubt
When your clouds are grey
Let me hold your hand
My sorry man, my sorry man
Here take my hand
My sorry man
Please understand
My sorry man

Cradle of My Life

Baby you’re so good to me
I know who I want to be
By your side I am home
Never truly alone
Cradle of my life
Wrap me up in your body
Rock me ever so gently
You are the cradle of my life
Cradle of my life
Wrap me up in your body
Rock me ever so gently
You are the cradle of my life
Floating away through the flowers
The empty spaces
Pass through the air, hang for hours
Caught on laces
Arms about to break, can’t hold on
The sun is fading
In through the screen, then it’s gone
Morning my Bon Bon
Cradle of my life
Wrap me up in your body
Rock me ever so gently
You are the cradle of my life
Cradle of my life
Wrap me up in your body
Rock me ever so gently
You are the cradle of my life

Snowbird, I can see your feathers burning through the white
Snowbird, I can tell that you are looking for a wife
She’s not as bright as you may be
With gentle rouge and subtlety
Hidden beneath her breast
Snowbird, puff out your chest
Snow bursts as the wind sets off explosions in the drift
Snow flirts as the child inside all of us still lives
Come and take a walk with me
It may be cold, but you will see
The beauty once again
Snowbird, puff out your chest
Lu, ah, lu, ah, lu, la
Life hurts, but the struggle of these love birds brings me hope
Time works so hard our memories start to fade and we get lost
Hold on to those hidden truths
The ones not taught we never lose
Safe beneath our breasts
Snowbird, puff out your chest

Morning Lullaby

Good morning moon
Can’t tell if I’m still asleep
But it’s nice to see you
Still high there in the sky
But you’re going down
Yea you’re going down
To shine a gentler light
On some other town
I miss you night
You wrap me in your shadows
Till I’m gone
Obscured beneath your blanket
Full of suns
Full of suns
So far away their mornings
Never come
And I see the light
It’s crawling on the bed
Across my face
Prying through my eyes
But I’m not afraid
No I’m not afraid
Awake and I can take
What dreams may come
What dreams may come
