COLLIDE
We ran to the cliffs
Held our breath against the wind
Stood at the edge
Though you were scared you held my hand
Count these moments when
Our two worlds collide
Love it never ends
Renews us again and again
Hands in the water
Hold them open like a flower
Talk for hours
Of god and love and sorrow
Count these moments when
Our two worlds collide
Love it never ends
Renews us again and again
Hands under water
Held open like a flower
What falls away always is near
Stars in the sky
All the reasons why
We can’t say no we won’t say goodbye
Stand at the edge
The wind it blows our fear
What falls away always is near

LIVE WIRE
Open the white winter night
Where is the blue new sky
Waiting for the light to shine
Looking for a new place to lie
I’ve tried to keep an open mind
Where is the old left behind
Reach out and touch it’s alive
Shadow needs the sun to thrive
Jumping the livewire skip a beat
But everyday the records on repeat
Wild is the future in front of me
You can feel the electricity
Walk on a worn thin line
Lean to the side courage unwinds
Look before the leap realize
Your dream of safety must die
Jumping the livewire skip a beat
But everyday the records on repeat
Wild is the future in front of me
You can feel the electricity

SOCKS ON
We kissed at 7 am
You kept your socks on
I was full of hope and teeth and scattered memories
You said you'd wait
Your blue eyes lit the dark
You whispered in my ears
Take me away from here
And in that dim blue light
Your hand on my knee
I gave up the fight
And we kissed in the morning light
I lost control when the stars fell over me
Mysterious symphony
And as the stars fell overhead like fireworks
My head on your chest
In a daze of sleep
And while I slept you told me all your secrets
And I drifted out of my body
And in that dim blue light
Your hand on my knee
I gave up the fight
And we kissed in the morning light
I lost control when the stars fell over me
Mysterious symphony
Magnetic fields played over car bombs
Sparkling young love
Behind the firehouse where we first met
And in our drunken state
Over menthol cigarettes
You said I just can't wait to get out of this town
And in that dim blue light
Your hand on my knee
I gave up the fight
And we kissed in the morning light
I lost control when the stars fell over me
Mysterious symphony
A song we know
Plays on the radio
I lost control
And I drifted out of my body
We kissed at 7 am
You kept your sock on
I was full of hope and teeth and scattered memories

DREAMTIME
There are times when I can’t fall asleep
Visions of the reaper awaken me
I dreamt I sewed a finger to my eye
And stairwells were like ladders in my mind
I dreamt I watched you burn before my eyes
I tried to run to you but my feet were binded
Eyes wide open you fell to the ground
Smoke engulfed you and still I could not run
Why’d you creep into the sanatorium
Who were you hoping to meet there?
Walking aimlessly now through the corridor
Turn around the reapers on you
Pain in my dreams reminds me of real things
What my mind creates exists to reach me
From an unconscious place visions rise
To the surface from my minds eye
Why’d you creep into the sanatorium
Who were you hoping to meet there?
Walking aimlessly now through the corridor
Turn around the reapers on you now
Turn around the reapers on you
The dreamtime where god’s creatures roamed free
Settled in the landscape they still see me
The cliffs I jump from while I am asleep
The pain when I hit the bottoms deep

TODAY
Winter was hard an endless fight
The gray inside pulled at the light
Tried so hard to get by
Even alone I could not cry
Running I’ll run till I turn back around and find
It’s behind me, it’s behind me
Today feels like the first day that I’m alive
Sometimes the hardest thing to do
Is to hear the quest voice in you
No matter how far wrong i have gone
Gotta hold my head up, keep travelin’ on
Air in my lungs and my feet on the ground I’ll fall
but I’ll get up I won’t give up
Today feels like the first day that I’m alive
Now I see the sky
Rising out ahead
smell the desert rain
hold me out
Today feels like the first day that I’m alive

ALASKA
Sleeping in with my lovely one
Grab the blankets from on your side
Feel the warmth when it’s cold outside
Alaska
The mountains cradle round
Bears in caves are sleeping sound
And the rivers are running loud
Alaska
I know what I feel for you
The home of the midnight sun
And the winter of darkness is done
Now the summer of love’s begun
Alaska
Got the day for adventuring
Climb the trees run through hillside flowers
Pick the berries the birds devour
Alaska
Well you, you make me feel so happy
Oh the quiet restful night
Snuggled into my loved ones height
We awake with the morning light
Oh isn’t it bright, Oh isn’t it bright
Yeah isn’t it bright
Today we’ll feel alive now,
Today we’ll fill the landscape of our hearts
Alaska

I Don't Mind

I DON'T MIND
Underneath the ridge
Standing in the water
Living at the edge
I’m a lonely daughter
February chills
The animals were slaughtered
What could I have done
I’m standing in red water
I don’t mind if the feeling never dies
When it’s lost its found
The feeling can’t be drowned
I don’t mind if you hang around for days
I will take the blame
I’m singing out your name
I should’ve locked the gate
I should’ve called the neighbor
I should’ve done whatever I could
To keep you from the caller
I told you it was safe
I told you I’d be home soon
It never crossed my mind
That would be the last time
I don’t mind if the feeling never dies
When it’s lost its found
The feeling can’t be drowned
I don’t mind if you hang around for days
I will take the blame
I’m singing out your name

Crying Over You

CRYING OVER YOU
I’ve been waiting for the rain, to wash away my fear
I’ve been looking towards the sun, to guide my through the year
I’ve been searching for a sign, to lead me to somewhere
I’ve been yearning for a place, but I never seem to get there
But I can’t keep on crying, oh crying over you
I don’t wanna fall behind, or shy away from truth
Feel the age unraveling, there is no fountain of youth
I’ve been running from a faith, that I felt I’d outgrew
I need to work with my hands, to make something new
But I can’t keep on crying, crying over you
Been looking in the past, it follows wherever I go
But I can’t keep hiding from what I most fear
No I can’t keep on crying, oh crying over you

Loneliness Has No Home

March rolls in and stretches out
The shower head brings water down
And sipping from your coffee cup
Thinking things are looking up
The snow is melt trash now in heaps
And glass and rocks beneath your feet
You’re stepping in deep sidewalk brine
Your shoelace drags as you define
Deep down now in your bones
Loneliness it has no home
And even though you feel alone
You’ve enjoyed the time you’ve roamed
Oh holy holy have you water
From this broken bottle
From this composition that you’ve known
And loneliness it has no home
I want to be your stone
After the winds have blown
I wanna be your home
Will you build a fire
And climb through barbed wire
I wanna be your home
Hard inner wood of tree
Have you no food and for that matter
Are you saturated in your thoughts
And mentally outdated
And for what to tell you how
There is equivalence you’ve found
And you could never be a liar
Even if you could try harder
There is a sense of self
But what concerns are with you now
Will the rain suddenly come down
Fall in buckets to the ground
Walk to the big tree you’ve known
And now the winter dove has flown
And the city sounds its cyclic drones
And loneliness it has no home
I want to be your stone
After the winds have blown
I wanna be your home
Will you build a fire
And climb through barbed wire
I wanna be your home

LEAPING IN THE FIRE
Blackbird, so sweet
Sing me through the night
My dreams are dark
Lay me in the fire
Leaping, leaping in the fire (you’re gonna break your heart)
Playing, playing with desire
Your touch so sweet
Brings me to my knees
Salt skin fingers trace
Where I find your lips
Leaping, leaping in the fire (you’re gonna break your heart)
Playing, playing with desire
Darkness wraps around
Our trembling embrace
Sunrise, awake
Take me back to my escape
