welcome back 04:00
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

strange love 04:33
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

more rain 04:28
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

cloud 04:20
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?
5.
unseen 02:46
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
6.
treasure 03:28
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
7.
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
8.
ghost 02:20
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
9.
already home 04:23
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
10.
Jackie 02:55
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
11.
the other 03:07
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?
12.
poison water 02:49
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
13.
settle 03:16
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
14.
uncertain 01:10
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
15.
angels 08:56
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
