Wake Up Mary
04:20
|

|
Wake up Mary, come back home
and you’ll find that you’re not fooling anyone
all your life, you feigned to roam
Never far from where you started
A gift to the broken-hearted
Wake up Mary, say hello
It seems like you’ve been sleeping far too long
the day is later than you know
all the flourishes once tasted
have suddenly all been wasted
Wake up Mary, take a bow
and then figure where you’re gonna run to now
When there’s nothing to say
You keep on talking anyway
where will you find shelter
when the laughter dies away?

Butterfly
In my cup
Everything just stirs her up
Hovers here
Flutters there
Alights on hobbled chairs
Don’t look now she’s here to stay
Every night she’s out on full parad
Fragile one
Just breathe slow
It takes some time, you know
Float away
On the breeze
Dispense with pleasantries
Every move could spark a riot
Every note she plays is right on tim
There’s a fine line
Through the disarray
I’m walking it day by day
Don’t look now, she’s gone away
Late at night she makes her getaway
Daylight shine on me

Falling Rainbows
02:56
|

|
What would you think were I to tell you everything I hide
Would you walk away from me or stay here by my side
And are you looking for a soul to whom you can confide
Would you fall in love with me, or just say goodbye
And everything you do will all come back to you
Rainbow fade away
Another comes to take its place
And every time that I get blown up on my own pride
Something comes along and cuts me back down to size
They sometimes a broken heart’s a blessing in disguise
or so the story goes, and so do I
And everything you do will all come back to you
And every falling rainbow seems to catch us by surprise
That’s the way it goes sometimes, don’t ask me why
No more tears, now dry your eyes

Move Into Light
04:19
|
|||
|
Move into light
Don't linger in the dark of night
When all around you comes a steady roar
Of people talking peace but craving war
I will be with you
I will be here
Move into light
Everything can change in the blink of an eye
The ground below you seems to shift away
Strength is fading day by day
I will be with you
I will be here
No matter what may come your way
Every moment is racing by
And you are searching for a way back home
I will be with you
I will be here
I'm not moving from this place

My Turn Now
03:07
|
|||
|
All worries are tied up and taken away
No more will you be overborne or feel their weight
One day when all of the world was in bloom
No warning on that very morning and I was consumed
Count the number of your days
Like a mist that vanishes
Each moment will slip through your hands into space
Hesitate and it’s gone from this place
You lifted me when I was down
I remember, and it’s my turn now

So Far Away
03:52
|
|||
|
You’re fading away
And I won’t follow you down
Every time that I come near to you
We break in two
And every day we go another round
Lover, can we talk?
‘Cause there are things we need to say
Your heart light has grown dark
And we're so far away from each other
Impetuous
You came on like a summer storm
Now it seems you’re more like ice in spring
Just lingering
Each day more transmuted and transformed
Lover, where’s your spark?
You let it burn away
Your heart light has grown dark
And we're so far away from each other
Every word, every move
Taken discretely
Comes back on you now
Bundled somehow
To wreck you completely
Lover, can we talk?
‘Cause there are things we need to say
Your heart light has grown dark
And you don’t feel…. You don’t feel anything at all

Shelter in Place
03:44
|
|||
|
Look around
Tell me what you see
You could drown
In all the waves of trouble you found
Don’t give in too easily
Hold your ground
Take some time, alleviate your mind
There’s nowhere you need to run to now
Everything in its time
Look around
Tell me what you see
Waves of beauty
Enough to fill your whole lifetime
Shelter me in place
Cover me in grace

Circle Back Around
03:21
|
|||
|
Wheels on the pavement turning
Pushing me down the road
I had to get out of town to see
How far into faraway I'd go
And the moon was rising as the sun sank low
I saw the scorching desert
I saw the ice and snow
I saw the starlit mountains
And the beckoning forest, dark below
Sometimes, when you're running
You can circle back around
In the hush of the evening
I can hear a lonesome sound
If I had wings like a dove
I'd fly to the wilderness
And ask you to shelter me from myself

Feel Alive
04:20
|
|||
|
I see blue sky
See the sun and the moon and the stars
And here am I, clinging to a beat up guitar
So near, and so far away
When the day breaks
I’ll be lost in the Milky Way
In stillness, in the rush of an evening breeze
I’ll be lifted, as high or low as you please
And I feel alive
|

No Goodbye
03:45
|
|||
|
Breathe in and take it slowly
Don’t rush it along
Keep your calm
A feeling, on the verge of deceiving
Leave it alone
And I can see that there is no goodbye
From the light reflected in your eye
FallIng to a dubious calling
Don’t let it take hold
You should know
Waiting while the heat is abating
Is the best way to go
And if I seem to act surprised
Don’t try to over analyze

Ghosts
03:37
|
|||
|
There are ghosts in here
Late at night they move around
Sometimes when they get near
They call to me without a sound
Please, please, don't forget me now
Shine the spotlight down
How we think we've got it made
On every head a crown
In this drunken masquerade
Everyone's greatest fear is to flicker and to fade
Was it all just a moment in time
With no reason or rhyme
Sometimes, you feel so far away from here
Still, it's clear I have no cause to feel forsaken
Sometimes, I could use some inspiration
