My Vision Is Coming Back
03:51
|
|||
Blink hard oh salt-stung eyes
Breathe in the northern air
Rest here for the better part of the night
‘Cause I can feel the tide pulling me in
Oh God I’ve been so lost
And I don’t want to be adrift anymore
I’ve been lost
Coming in from the sea
Kissing the shore
Gulls low-flying
Pale dunes rising
My vision is coming back
You don’t get back wasted days
But sometimes you need to rest
I’ve rested for the better part of a year
Now I can feel my vision coming back
Oh God I’ve been so lost
And I don’t want to be adrift anymore
I’ve been lost
Coming in from the sea
Kissing the shore
Gulls low-flying
Pale dunes rising
My vision is coming back

Still Here
03:05

I don’t see you
I don’t see you anymore
When you were here
Were you here for sure
When I saw you last
It was providence
Let me leave you behind
All those sayings
‘Hold on loosely’ they said
And I couldn’t
Because every piece of me
Was clutching for
The last bit of you
Disappearing from view
You gonna sit there
You gonna slumber through your days
When you ran through
All the years you slayed
‘There’s a quiet
And it’s calling’ you say
And I get it
Life’s a slow parade
Of a flashback from judgment day
I don’t see me
I don’t see me anymore
Super moon shines
Spying through the door
There’s a sliver
Of a shadow behind me
And I’m hoping it means
That I’m still here
Am I still here

Watch The World Waking
03:32
|
|||
Oh there is the gray light
The first light turns the trees
Outside my room
Into sumi-e paintings
Oh there will be sunrise
The gray is brightening
The morning trees
Drift into greens
Watch the world waking
My heart hung out to dry
Gave the night to grieving
But if the sun will rise
Oh the chill of winter
Like the cold springs up north
Surprises me
I catch my breath
Oh I watch the light paint
Golden strokes on tall pines
Cascading through
My empty room
Watch the world waking
My heart hung out to dry
Gave the night to grieving
But if the sun will rise
Yeah the sun will rise

Way Out
04:55
|
|||
Though it’s light outside
I pretend I am a spy
And I crawl under covers
Crawl under covers
I know that I’m not fooling you
You’re pretending that I do
I’ve not been discovered
For too many moons
I pretend
That I’m not
Weeping
Daylight’s seeping in
To a room that might as well be a cavern
Did I disappear when the lights went down
In the theatre of the small town
I sit in the back row
Whisper the lines I know
No one’s fooling anyone
We’re all acting in the dry run
I’ve been undercover
For so many moons
I pretend
That I’m not
Singing
Spotlight gleaming through
In a room that might as well be a cavern
Did I come to life
When the lights came on
And the closing credits played my song
Leaping down the aisle
And all the while
People rising from their seats
Oh I’m waking from my sleep
I’ve been undiscovered
For too many moons
I pretend
That I’m not weeping
Exit door
Opens
To a world that might as well be brand new
Way out
Finding my
Way out

Roll Over Me
03:08
|
|||
A soft green kindness
Reach bright blue highest
The clouds between
Roll over me
Turn down the river
By going under
It feels like thunder
Roll over me
I am finding my way
While every living thing does the same
Rain on a windshield
City lights blurring
My love is singing
Roll over me
A brave hand reaching
After the light change
Drive to the old place
Roll over me
I am finding my way
While every living thing does the same
The great gray winds blow
The lightning such a show
The lightness we feel
Top of a green hill
When our sun rises
Finally rises
The lightest brightness
Rolls over me
I am finding my way
While every living thing does the same

Summer Jubilee
03:47
|
|||
Where did the time go
I used to watch it slow
‘Cause I watched it
Yeah I watched it
With a little girl’s eyes
I’d give most anything
To see what time would bring
In the summer a jubilee
Where fish met land
And boy met sea
Time get going going
All lovers are a knowing
This is your best shot
Before the winds are blowing
And changing waters glowing
Baby if you’re going
To love me
Now’s the time
Don’t take time
World changes all inside
Years feeling like a ride
‘Cause I went with it
Yeah I went with it
A girl filled up with life
Boy you collided with
My world and you made it shift
In the summer a jubilee
The tide came in
And we were free
Man we went and grew up
And time it only flew on
My grandma’s clock singing
Time get going going
All lovers are a knowing
It’s summer jubilee
Before the winds are blowing
And changing waters glowing
Baby if you’re going
To love me
Now’s the time
Don’t take time

Dream Explorer

Am I out in the dark again
Face stoic heart weeping
Are the stars falling down again
To bring me hope
Open eyes in the moonlight
Walking in it but oh so slow
A quiet flash at midnight
To bring me hope
Am I lost in your eyes again
Trying to tell you where I’ve been
If I could write you could read it then
You would know
Open eyes in the moonlight
Walking in it but oh so slow
A quiet flash at midnight
To bring me hope
Am I out in the sweetness
Tears streaming heart seeing
Is the grass rising up as if
To catch me soft
Open eyes at midnight
Reaching for you but oh so slow
You come to meet me
With a flashlight
To bring me hope

You Have Been Here, Too
06:04
|
|||
Dawn at the house on the bay
Birds singing hello to the day
Still my heart throbbing with the ache
Oh you’ve been here too
Everybody dies
A little at a time
But my days for crying are over
I can finally feel once more
Stepping out onto the floor
Take my hand before I change my mind
Oh you have been here too
Hurt but nobody ever knew
At last the chains are coming loose
Now I am holding fast to you
‘Cause you’ve been here too
Everybody dies
A little at a time
But my days for crying are over
I can finally feel once more
Stepping out onto the floor
Take my hand before I change my mind
Oh you have been here too
Everybody dies
A little at a time
But my days for crying are over
I can finally feel once more
Stepping out onto the floor
Take my hand before I change my mind
I can hear the birds again
My listening ears are mending
Dancing with a limp but still
I can finally feel once more
Stepping out onto the floor
Take my hand before I change my mind
Oh you have been here too

Nobody Spoke My Language
04:12
|
|||
There was a moment
I went in hiding
All life was winter
But I never decided
To turn my back
On the world at large
It happened in slow motion
And I didn’t know what to do
Nobody knew
My language but you
When I couldn’t see
Any piece of me
That I recognized
When I looked in the mirror
But when I looked at you
I remembered me
Nobody spoke my language but you
The sadness I felt
When I was underneath
All life was quiet
And I never intended
To stay away
For quite so long
The low hanging clouds
Had me under their spell
Nobody knew
My language but you
When I couldn’t see
Any piece of me
That I recognized
When I looked in the mirror
But when I looked at you
I remembered me
Nobody spoke my language but you

Sweetness Surrounding
03:42
|
|||
Baby I didn’t go far
Only the next room over
I never meant to deny you
But something dark was singing behind me
And I couldn’t see
You came to the rescue
Flashlight sweeping the room
I held onto the darkness
Because the dark held on to me
I couldn’t sing
Door opens wide
Seeing outside
Clinging to life again
Sweetness surrounding
When you’re sleeping beside me
Sunlight flooding the room
Babe I’m getting used to
What once held me captive
Under the bed or inside of me
Just cannot be
Curtains flung wide
Seeing outside
Like it’s my first sunrise again
Sweetness surrounding
When you’re sleeping beside me
Sweetness surrounding
When you’re here beside me
Sweetness surrounding me
