- Track Name: welcome back
-
dirt soft under my feet
and a sliver moon
is sinking
in a tangerine sky
the crickets
are singing my faovorite song
welcome back
why'd you stay gone so long
sage
on the breeze
whispers the truth to me
you're still a wild thing
and you
will always be
part of our family
sink your roots like a tree
welcome back
why'd you stay gone so long
venus
we can barely see
your light shining
so we reach across the sea
and take
the strong hands of the other
remember you are free
and you will always be
welcome back
why'd you stay gone so long - Track Name: strange love
-
staring into the blues of evening
out of your old red pickup truck
our voices are ravens on the wind
soaring this bony white desert
its a strange love we have
flowing, yet, its stays
in my silent truck-o-vision
stands a tall triangle
guarded by two black sentinels
I bow to you and rest
its a strange love we have
flowing, yet, its stays
staring into the grays of evening
music rings
where before there was none
I find peace in these grand vistas
I miss you
I write
I sing
its a strange love we have
flowing, yet, it stays - Track Name: more rain
-
blissing on the breeze
lucky to be alive
molten gray in the sky
I keep on reaching up to
and the rumble of the thunder
promises more rain
and I say be true
be true
the sun comes thru the clouds
and my heart aches to keep it
but nothing does fickle like light
and its gone
its gone
and the rumble of the thunder
promises more rain
and I say be true
be true
I don't have anything to say
its all in the saying
stand up, be heard, be seen
go into the fear
into the fear
and the rumble of the thunder
promises more rain
and I say be true
be true - Track Name: cloud
-
if I were a cloud
I could hold the light like that
but if I were a cloud
could I hold the love like this? - Track Name: unseen
-
alone, at last
heavy dull light
hangs under gray clouds
hushing the fields
and rusty white domes
dotted with juniper
a curve catches my eye
the perfect pale yellow
framed by a fence line
and cottonwoods
just leafing now
and the long stretch of boulder mountain
is the furthest horizon
birds of prey
tip and turn
held up
by unseen hands
and two lodge poles
lean against one another
flags flitter
in between
taking a prayer
into that unseen - Track Name: treasure
-
these are the things I treasure
I lay sleeping on the ground
the things that I made
circling above on the breeze
hear my heart barely beat
come for me
let my flesh melt into the ground
but pull my heart from the bones
and carry it into the sky - Track Name: bones of the land
-
I feel I could tumble
into the casm
it would be a relief
I'm already tumbling
so much
exposed
the bones of the land are showing
more than not
the rest has blown away
in the wind
the colors are graying
into one
so much
exposed
the bones of the land are showing
more than not
need to be on the land
then I will know
what it is I am
I think the trees can tell me
so much exposed
the bones of the land are showing
more than not
what it is
I am - Track Name: ghost
-
like a ghost
bearing the light
of its being
wish we could speak
the same language
but what good
would that do
I love you
then what
come sit with me
sing to me
touch me
stay
we're already speaking
these things of the heart
and they have
no words
but they sound
so familiar
when you hear them
you know
so here I sit
half in
half out
in the threshold
close to my truest love
I know this desert sky
hung with sparkley stars
and they have
no words
but they sound so familiar
when you hear them
you know
you know - Track Name: already home
-
now that I have come all this way
now that I have come all this way
I'm not going home
cuz I'm already home - Track Name: Jackie
-
I met Jack and Rebecca
at Lu Lu's in Mullum
he said
"did you know dragons are still alive"
I wanted to believe him
I said "yes"
She said "his totem, is lizard too"
and He said "mama, would you still love me,
if I was half dragon?"
I said, "I bet he is"
and he came to her one night in a dream
before, he was born
he said "I've been here many times before,
I'm just coming back to breathe."
then I remembered
that's all
I really have to do
then I remembered
I don't even
have to do that - Track Name: the other
-
I can see clearly now
this was a test
to see if I can remain
true
what was I seeking
in the other
have I forgotten
how to be
what was I seeking
in the other
was it me?
I'm devoting all my time
now to music
there is enough
when its focused
its formidable
what was I seeking
in the other
have I forgotten
how to be
what was I seeking
in the other
was it me? - Track Name: poison water
-
I am walking in a dream
through the desert
and love is all around me
but I don't dare drink
for fear it has been poisoned
by the sun
I see my reflection
it is lovely
but I don't dare drink
for fear it'll make me weak
and I will drown
in the other again
I close my eyes
put my lips to the poison
but I don't dare drink
a golden cat slinks up
I loose sight
of my reflection
as he goes to drink
he goes silently for my will
I lay screaming
no one hears
as he drags the kill - Track Name: settle
-
the clouds here amaze me
and the way
the white mesas
wear their shadows
shifting always
so many birds
gathering straw
for their nests
the grass glows green
shiny new
in the springtime sun
and sweet boulder honey in my coffee
I could settle in a place like this
but I can no longer settle
in love
two tall trees across the pasture
the bigger lighter one
his branches shrug a question
the little darker one stands tall
on her own
leaning slightly
to the older one
with sweet boulder honey in my coffee
I could settle in a place like this
but I can no longer settle
in love - Track Name: uncertain
-
the future's uncertain
always uncertain
now is quite certain
stick with now
stomch is grumbling
safe in the desert
I can't remember
when I started running
but I've been in flight now
for some time
and all of the songs
are already written - Track Name: angels
-
this is your big brother
calling to tell you
you're held in the arms of Angels
right now
right now
and one stands tall above them all
spreading her wings
wide in to the sky
and one day
we all
will fly
and one day
we all
will fly
and one day
we all
will fly
