It's Been a Long Time 05:16
lyrics
buy track
It’s been a long time since I felt so much Such a long old while to sit and wait Tonight I’ll dream of every subtle touch We shared today It’s been a long time since we had the chance To dive once more under the sea of love Another taste of this sweet romance We’re dreaming of Winds they brought you Now they’re taking you back home Drunk on your affection I could sleep like a stone Were you still with me All those miles from home Well I haven’t felt so wonderful in a long time It’s been a long time, this whole time around We had to wait to watch this flower unfold It’s been a little while since we found These hands we hold What we have is what my heart desires I’m really learning how to love you right And the tenderness we may require All through the night Winds they brought you Now they’re taking you back home Drunk on your affection I could sleep like a stone Were you still with me All those miles from home Well I haven’t felt so wonderful in a long time You know no other could be my lover Such a spark of imagination I know my lover could be no other Such a powerful flame of passion I haven’t felt so wonderful in a long time

Winter Is Leaving Us 06:01
lyrics
buy track
No matter how cold the winds will blow You’ll always know I love you so Love is warm, but you must be warned There lies a storm outside these forms So sing me to sleep and I’ll kiss you to sleep Out these dreams songs seep, they’ll be yours to keep The frost may bite, so I just might Hold you so tight near the firelight The air sighs a chill so silent, so still I’ll try my best to fill cracks that windows spill Then climb back in bed with arms widespread If you’re not really living, you’re already dead And I’ve got these pretty pictures of you Some days life can just be difficult Love may drift into the mythical But it’s a miracle Ever so mystical Here in the physical Life is a stone the winds are weathering A soul on a string the earth is tethering Bring out your feathered wings Open your voice and sing To whoever is listening I’m listening Clouds and rain like water in my veins They soothe my brain through these valleys and plains To what we embrace standing face to face Some think it’s a race, but we go at our own pace But we gotta clean up, we gotta show up We gotta straighten our cuffs and wipe off the duff Because a sweet home awaits only months away So until then I say let’s live for today And I’ve got these pretty pictures of you Some days life can just be difficult Love may drift into the mythical But it’s a miracle Ever so mystical Here in the physical Life is a stone the winds are weathering A soul on a string the earth is tethering Bring out your feathered wings Open your voice and sing To whoever is listening I’m listening

This Is Our Nest 04:47
lyrics
buy track
So this is our nest We've kept it warm all winter This is how I know you the best The sweet and bitter Moments we share And hang them from the ceiling There is no danger to beware What time is slowly revealing The storm is cradling us Carnations all in bloom Spring survives in this dwelling In every corner in every room I feel a closeness softly swelling Each and every moment we consume We will always remember You and I defeated doom And never felt a warmer December The storm is cradling us

All We Have Is Now 02:57
lyrics
buy track
I guess it all depends On the angle you're coming from Our lives will reach an end One day but we can't say when All we have is now (Who really can decide If your hands are free or they're tied? I guess it all depends On the angle you're coming from)

Spring Has Arrived 05:42
lyrics
buy track
These colored blossoms are all opening And reaching out for light Even then when I was sowing seeds Down came the breath of life And when white petals fell in sheets Sprouts push through with all their might To welcome an early spring Sun smiles and blankets all of us But wind still won't agree It's heart is icy still like some of us Thought some get along for easily But me, I've waited for those rays To overpower a winter breeze Oh, praise! There's a thing that only God would know How do the weeds know just when to grow? There's a thing that only God would know What keeps me caged inside theses shaded walls Away from the life outside my door? No breath of balmy wind goes through these halls No sky can my spirit soar This house, this nest ensnares us all Yes, trapped by all that we ignore But clinging in the fall I'd like to strip away these barriers And lay myself across the lawn A grain of sand inside the universe Invisible to look upon Some get blessed and some get cursed Forever circling around the sun In its gaze There's a thing that only God would know To raise the sun and let his warm heart glow There's a thing that only God would know

Sing to Me with Your Soft Lungs 05:21
lyrics
buy track
Speak to me with your forked tongue And I will whistle all day long Sing to me with your soft lungs And I will listen all day long Sing to me with your wet lungs Did you believe In all you conceived? All the trees lean And sway where you’re walking You feel for the bark In the dark and the moonbeams Was it it that brought you here? What were you stalking? Or was it the wolves Howling down your chimney? Did the night bring a fright That shook you and shook you? You comb through the screen Of a black velvet sea Until the waves of day break Speak to me with your forked tongue And I will whistle all day long Sing to me with your soft lungs And I will whisper all day long Sing to me with your wet lungs The foam and the froth Is a basket you’re weaving The gnomes in the garden With weeds there to hide them And you stand beside them And banish the cardinals Will spring turn to autumn With summer forgotten? Were you there to guard it Lost in Wind’s whispering? Winds leave their chambers With words I’ll have lost some Sipping the nectar Of the wheezing blossom

Angels Lost Their Wings 05:14
lyrics
buy track
The angels lost their wings today The angels lost their wings today I saw it Millions falling from the sky Millions falling from the sky Down to earth The devil singed his horns they say The devil singed his horns they say He cried There's no other hell I say There's no other hell then what's in your mind And I want to know what's inside Our country went to war today Our country went to war today I saw it Rockets flying through the air Rockets flying through the air In a blaze Our leaders left for space they say Our leaders left for space they say We complain There's no other hell, you know Than what is eating at your brain And I want to know what's inside

Habit of Denying 07:00
lyrics
buy track
Hiding out in the forest Foraging for food All this time, how could you forget? How could you be such a fool? Love found you in the station Love at last had tracked you down And pulled you past imagination Left the train and left you spellbound Now you know the meaning of Precious love, a steady love That, when you're gone Above all, will carry on So won't you come out from hiding And see all around is yellow light? Feel a warm gust is guiding Back to her voice tonight And why you keep her from flying And you push away from pull Is an old habit of denying The very ones that keep our hearts full Now you know the meaning of precious love So keep it safe Only a fool thinks he is walking into a trap When he's dead inside but he's free in that matter of fact Once I believed that I was helpless; helpless and hopeless inside But by some miracle I watched the illusion subside Feel a warm gust is guiding An old habit of denying That this love for you is undying

Sacred Touch 03:49
lyrics
buy track
All I need is your embrace Where all is love and endless space I gaze upon your sunlight plain You're ocean still and fertile rain Wind will sing out through my throat I feel you deep, I hold you close Lost inside your tenderness Lost inside your infinite kiss All I want is sacred touch When I have you I have so much We plant these seeds, we watch them grow More than we would ever know Wind will sing out through my throat I feel you deep, I hold you close Lost inside your tenderness Lost inside your infinite kiss

She'll Fall Asleep 04:45
lyrics
buy track
If I wait too long She'll fall asleep Fall asleep As I read aloud Frozen lakes And fallen leaves I hope she dreams Of me tonight I hope she dreams of me Hills are catching fire Dreams are waking up Let's withdraw Down to the roots And fall asleep And dream of us And fall like leaves All turning red I hope we dream Of us tonight I hope we dream together Thoughts will melt away Hills are waking up Hills are catching fire Will we ever wake up? Are we awake?

Pending Destinations 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Now that I've been wandering Wandering so aimlessly I seem to have somehow landed on my feet But I like to keep my whereabouts a secret My pending destinations You can chase me all around But you'll never catch this clown Keep searching up and down But I'm nowhere to be found All this time that I've been squandering Wandering still, namelessly Sometimes I lay down and I become the street Cause you know I like to keep my whereabouts discreet Leave them with my cracked imagination You can chase me all around But you'll never catch this clown Keep searching up and down But I'm nowhere to be found

Wrinkles Revisited 03:36
lyrics
buy track
I don't want to see what the future holds I don't want to know how old I'll be getting I don't want no visions of what happens next Already so perplexed I won't mind the wrinkles, presents from the sun I know the stars will greet me when my time is done And I'll deal with the dying and death will do the rest And I'll leave you all with the mess It's really not so sad, it's just the way it goes But whether I'll die a drunkard or a priest, well goodness knows The devil's arms are open wide, we'll see how long he stays But with you I can stay away I'll stay away Bundled up like a baby is how it all will end Shriveled up and naked is how I'll be coming out again

Ready to Go! 05:35
lyrics
buy track
I'm ready to go Wherever you want me to I'm ready to take that leap Over the edge for you I'm ready to go I'm ready to lift the heaviest stones Off of the path for you So tired of being all alone So far apart from you I'm ready to go I'm prepared to give you some peace of mind Pieces of mine standing over the edge of time You don't need a reason or rhyme To take a walk beyond the street lights We could go for miles Until we reach that salty sea Collect the sea shells, we don't need nobody else Just the waves lapping lullaby, played for you and me I'm ready to go I'm ready to go I'm ready to go I'm ready to move on Just so I can see your face whenever I want Kiss your mouth whenever I want I'm ready I'm ready I'll fold the laundry I'm ready! It don't matter what's been bothering you I'll make it better I'm ready to get out of town And turn this frown right upside down It's bringing me down I'm ready to go Ready ready ready! I will not go the ballgame I will not do any cocaine I'm ready to go! I'm ready to go!
