Calais Tune, Chalet View
05:50
|
|||
Feel this, with me
Hear this Calais tune, chalet view
Skillfully
I'll pour out the sky
The door is waiting for sunrise
Ten 'till four
Sure the sun waits, this I'm sure
Just the way your eyes create your allure
What change, I have made?
I had to lose to create
Ten 'till four
Sure the sun waits, this I'm sure
Just the way your eyes create your allure
I'll take you anywhere....
I'll take you everywhere...
I'll take you anywhere you care
Come on, Stay awake!
Stay through the changes we shall make
So much more
Sure the sun waits, this I'm sure
Just the way your eyes create your allure...

Words I'll Never Regret
04:18
|

Say what you will, but I will be yours forever.
Those were the words I'll never regret.
Changed as we are so we can't be together.
Babe you are someone I will never forget.
I hope to keep talking and watching you grow.
With the ones you are walking.
So don't forget me just know that I'll always be here,
I'll always be here, I'll always be here.
In my mind, it never shakes
nor will it ever untangle.
But there's a taste of the courage
that I took from your pillow.
Changed as we are, at life's insistence
Babe I'll be on your side
and I will cheer from a distance.
I hope to keep talking and watching you grow.
With the ones you are walking.
So don't forget me just know I'll always be here,
I'll always be here, I'll always be here.

The Grandmother Tree
04:32
|
|||
If you want, I will marry you
Once we both turn eighteen.
But you just laugh and run off
to the Grandmother Tree
In your bare feet.
There you swing underneath her tree
I can see your hair blowing.
Stars and tears are the same for me tonight
Yeah, their coming out bright.
I strip down to my barefeet
and wrap my arms around yours.
If you want, I will marry you tonight
while things are alright.
I call out to the Nightingale
and lap up the evening stream.
Watch over her as she wears her veil
watch over us we sing.

There's A Life In You
07:54
|
|||
You gave me the life, to find the things that keep breathing
and you gave me breath to say all I've wanted to say.
You turn on the lights for the room I'm always leaving
and help me to see, all I leave behind.
There's a life in you, untamable fire
it's scattering all of your spark
for us to admire.
I will live the rest of my days
in a similar blaze,
'cause you showed me how.
I could have been, such a sticky one to start with
but you always had such nimble hands.
The wind of the trees, you seem to know how it was thinking
and the heat of the earth, it seemed to know your plans.
There's a life in you, untamable fire
it's scattering all of your spark
for us to admire.
I will live the rest of my days
in a similar blaze,
'cause you showed me how.
I saw, I saw you.
A smile is all I can do, when I see all the life in you.
A pair of your shoes and the words that I am dreaming
have me believe that your finally gone.
But I stay the same knowing how the sun is seeming
to follow your lead
and it again will rise.
There's a life in you, untamable fire
it's scattering all of your spark
for us to admire.
I will live the rest of my days
in a similar blaze,
'cause you showed me how.

Torn skin, eyes wild
Come here - deep breaths, my child
Heal now, your skin has life
Your tears have sight
Talk to me, softly...

If I... (Grandma Hedgie)
04:38
|
|||
If I could buy a box of crayons
and tailor the world with my own hands
I'd draw you here with me
in red and blue-berry
If I could buy a box of crayons
If could sing a thousand songs
I'd sing them all for you so long
as you just realize
they're all written in your blue eyes
If I could sing a thousand songs
If I could live without regret
If I could pass that snare, jump that net
I promise I'd settle down
I promise a softer sound
If I could live without regret
If I could take you anywhere
To see secrets I've hid there
I'd take you deep inside
to where my spirit hides
If I could take you anywhere
Da da da da da....
If I could love a thousand times
with every love I think I'd find
It won't be put upon the shelf
cause love is life itself
If I could love a thousand times
Maybe in the end I'd see it's true
I would have spent all that love on you
If I could love a thousand times.
Da da da da da...

Untitled (Chelsea)
03:19
|

I have this picture on my screen
reminding me of a summer scene.
The sun had your eyes squinting hazily
this caused me
to take a photograph of you so that I could have you two
with me.
Is it fate that makes you leave
or has misery just now found me?
I've read these feelings always pass
but I have to ask
Must I change the photograph and lose
the music that it has, for me?

I Wore It Blue
02:54
|

I wore your shirt today
I wore it blue.
I'm in your car today
I'm driving to you.
Don't you know there's something to be said
for losing my own head.
Don't follow the sweetest things honey
that's the first thing that you said.
I took that picture of you and hung it low
and put my friend McFarrin's song
on the stereo.
There was something that I meant to darling
but you took me by surprise.
It only took a drink or two to make me realize.
Here is what I have to say darling
"I love you, yes I do"
And I've gathered all of my things
To sign them off to you.
I wore your shirt today, I wore it blue.

Afterword
05:49
|
|||
Now that you've made up your mind towards me
You'll never change it will you?
And when you taste it, and it sets you free
You'll never leave it will you?
And when you feel that your life's a ghost
then I will live mine for you.
And when your dreams become oh so close
then I will catch them for you.
I will
My life's a current it's a living stream
and always grow there, I will.
The truth is present it's just as it seems
but I never see it until
I close my eyes and absorb the sound
a thousand lives I fulfill.
Now opened up, I'll show you what I've found
and just your heart I shall fill.
I will.
