again

Kick off your shoes and lay down beside me again
Here we are side by side to love again.
Kick off your clothes and lay down on the warm sand again
Let the warm sun touch you again
I’ll hold your hand til the sun goes down again
Kick off your fears and take this life for a ride again
Along that road there’ll be many stops along the way again, again

need to say

I need to say
what I need to say
the road rose high above
I took the chance to go along
to live for a time with love
Gazing up I looked at you
you were standing on a shelf
but only found the reflecting sun
blinding me to myself
The road moved on,
we took it down resting in a place
where the light shined bright
your glow warmed my life
for a time I felt your grace
moved together for a while
til the blinding light
took the vision that we had
and made it dark as night
So I walk alone
no ear to the phone
I see you round the bend
but all I find where once was flame
your ember has been spent
I need to say what I need today
the road rose high above
I took the chance to go along
to live for a time with love
I took the chance to go along
to live for a time with love
time with love...

take flight
05:09
|

A bird flies high above, well mama is it you?
I wonder, seeing life through your eyes
beholden to none, there just to be there
I walk alone but I feel you near
shining as the sun upon the hill
warming me inside
touching my soul as a wren resting on a limb
a tiny bird with a big place to be
Today we cast you to the sweet winds
to the water from which you came
return you to your love, your sweet love
the union that brought us all to be
sadness and loss tug my heart
but I know the wind will dry my tears
love sent you to us and now we give you back
to the garden of life
Oh little bird take flight, move on with our blessings
you’ll return in many ways
the single leaf floating down, the scent of seasons’ change
music in my heart and on the wing of the wind
and love passing amongst us all
love one another is what you said
love one another and honor who you are
all your born days
well I’m grateful for the time we had
the love, the light, the lessons that were shared
the gift of your lovely grace
the sweet touch of your hand to my face
I’ll be seeing you again and again
hold you forever in my heart
I’ll be seeing you again and again and again
all my born days
Looking up I see two birds,
oh could it be?
mama and daddy joined again flying high
flying high

home to my heart
04:07
|
|||
Your voice feels like home to me
oh my lucky heart
I feel the glow, the blooming of my love
for you we held on to what we knew
Now we’re breaking ground
together we go
happy you happy me
we’re lucky in our hearts to be
Fear the day you knew
knew you loved me too
I’ll hold your hand through and through
my love for you I do
My face you see
my soul you touch
you look at me
your eyes see much
Oh hold my heart to feel the love
the one I never thought would come
oh happy me, happy you
in this together through and through
And your voice, it feels like home
your voice, it feels like home
to me
home to me
come on home
home

dissonance

Too good to be true
too bad, too bad to be true, oh no
too me to be you
too sad to be blue
I feel too much
I wanted, I wanted to touch and be touched by you
you knew I loved you
maybe, maybe I still do
maybe I still do
Too old to look new
too done, too done to undo
too me to be you
too sad to see you
Never, was never to be with you
never to be you

two friends
04:29
|
|||
Two friends walkin’ by
one got eyes to the ground
one high as the sky
can they ever, ever see eye to eye?
Two friends watchin’ life go by
one needs to stay
the other looks to fly
can they ever stand side by side?
My friend I see you
do you see me?
takin’ a blind eye in the face of life
will you ever stop to see?
Two friends you and I
wanting different things
I’m just trying to get by
can we ever, ever reach the other side?
can we ever, ever reach the other side?

fly
03:52
|
|||
Sit on down and tell me all about it
make yourself cozy in that big blue chair
crazy aint it, how it makes you feel
the ground is shifting and you’re slipping inside
and you fly, fly
high into the sky, where it’s warm and dry
A shoe in the road, never the two
I was lookin’ for me, and you were lookin’ for you
catch a late movie only to find
up on the screen hey that aint my life, no no baby...
and I fall, fall
down to the ground where I hit the lonely road again
Out in the rain, you’ve got nowhere to hide
come back to me, I want you inside
you left all the lights on but nobody’s there
I call you back over but you don’t even hear, no no baby
and I cry, cry
tears falling down as the rain through the sky
falling down, calling round
tears falling down as the rain through the sky
What settles the storming on the shore of my soul?
waves crashing in, you know they’re taking their toll
I know it’s time I learn to swim
but hey right now that aint my whim, no no baby
and I try, try
to rise above it all
to breathe and fly high

tumbleweed
04:58
|
|||
Well life rolls by, fragile as it is
picking up the pieces along the way
freeing what we need to leave behind
as we see it, as we need it
taking our leave with those we love
tumbleweed, roll on by
wind pushing you, no need to try
take all that come close, offer them a ride
through that arid desert of life
Well you’re begging to be seen
hoping to be heard
looking for sweet love in a prickly world
oh caress me gently, don’t make me cry
well your hardened edge hides a softer side
tumbleweed, roll on by
wind pushing you, no need to try
take all that come close, offer them a ride
down that lonely highway of life
Well you’re going forth, gaining ground
runnin’ on windswept climes
warmth in your sails, heart in your soul
well slow down my love, slow down to see
I’m giving you time, giving you time for me
Tumbleweed, roll on by
wind pushing you, no need to try
take all that come close, don’t ask why
they’re just along for that ride
tumbleweed
roll on by
and if that wind pushes you back around
I’m gonna cling to your side
tumbleweed
roll on by

road between us
04:41
|
|||
I'm sitting here in my place
and you in yours
and I want so bad to see your face
my heart feels torn
I’m here, you’re there
and there’s miles in between
what becomes of you and me?
I miss you thou we never touch
oh love you caught my eye
it scares me and it dares me
to give love another try
Let’s erase the distance
and love in the same room
come on over baby
we’re gonna work it out real soon
I’m here, you’re here
I’m here, you’re here
So many smiles in between
yeah

best
04:12
|
|||
Seeing you and I’m wanting you
It’s the best and the worst that I can do
Touching you am I holding you
It’s the best and the worst that I can do
Leaving you I’d be losing you
It’s the best and the worst that I can do
Loving you and I’m wanting you
It’s the best and the worst that I can do
The only thing that I can do
