07-05-04
Sleep
Your love has come
To take his bride away
Sleep
My love, I’ve come
So dream
And I’ll carry you away
The sun is melting
And painting its way home
Oh, my love
You should not be alone
Dream
Dream
Dream
Dream
Our time is come
Oh my God
Dream
Dream
Oh my God
Oh my Love
07-04-05
Amazing what a year can bring
Amazing what a year can take away
She was on a plane
And she was headin’ toward my arms
Now I'm sittin’ by myself
Wonderin’ how the hell
All of creation can celebrate
When the state of the world
Is my broken heart
Cuz she was on a plane
And she was headin’ toward my arms
Ooh
Funny what the years can hide
Funny what the years can bring to light
I was in a bar
And I was drinkin’ the world alright
Now I'm sittin’ by myself
Wonderin’ how the hell
All of creation can raise their glass
When the weight of the world
Is so heavy in my hand
But I stood where they stand
And, who knows, well
Maybe I will again
Ooh
There is no freedom in my independence
I am just alone
There is no freedom in my independence
I am just alone
There is no freedom in my independence
I am just alone
Cuz she was on a plane
And she was headin’ toward my arms

A Puddle, Yes
She loves the attention
I can't get
Any of it
She loves the attention
I can't get
Any of it
All these conversations in my mind
I am screamin' out
I am screamin' out loud
At these foolish complications that I find
In what I dream about
I try to dream it out loud
I live on so many islands
I've been swimming back and forth
And yes, of course
I’m drowning in cliche
And I've turned passion into violence
Love into a muddled mess
A puddle, yes
I'm melting in cliche
She loves the attention
I can't get
Any of it
She loves the attention
I can't get
Any of it
I have everything but what I need the most
Yeah, I threw it out
Yeah, I threw it all away
And I'd be less afraid if they were ghosts
I know I blew it now
That I've been through it all the way
And I live on so many islands
I've been swimming back and forth
And yes, of course
I'm drowning in cliche
And I've turned laughter into silence
Love into a muddled mess
A puddle, yes
I'm melting in cliche
She loves the attention
I can't get
Any of it
She love the attention
I can't get
Any of it
One glad morning when I find some oars
I'll sail away
To a place I ain't never been before
I'll sail away
And I've swum from so many islands
Miles since I've seen the shores
I mean, of course
I'm swimming from cliche
And I've turned banshees into sirens
Love into a muddled mess
A puddle, yes
I’m melting in cliche

A Trick of the Light
I saw you in the corner of a room
Sunlight played on your shoulder
And I knew there was a ghost in you
and you and I would never be alone in love
Boarded up in the attic is a photo
Moonlight plays on the box where it stays
And I know there is a ghost in you
And you and I will never be alone in love
And in the tears behind your smile
A hundred years
A thousand miles
Pour into my head
There, in the corner of a room
In a movement
You are more alive than dead
She said:
"Go back
Go back to sleep
Go back
And come back to me
Then go back
Go back and see
What you can be
When you're alive
And then when you've died
You can be with me"
It was a trick of the light
In the room that night
She said:
"There's so much to see"
I was embarrassed to be alive
But now I know there is a ghost in me

Advaita
Soldiers on the line
Few are friends of mine
I move in many circles
But my colors aren’t so defined
And those on bended knees
Prayin’ to their heavenly deities
I’m just tryin’ to reconcile
This universe in me
And I only gotta worry ‘bout mine
And just Love you
Yes I do, yes I do
And I don’t even gotta worry ‘bout mine
I’ll just Love you
I just Love you
Those who from their birth
Forge the kingdoms of this earth
May find as they return to dust
Those kingdoms return to dirt
But those who live in Love
And abandon all disguise
Will find that when the body goes
They will rise
Oh, they will rise
And I only gotta worry ‘bout mine
And just love you
Yes I do, yeah, yes I do
And I don’t even gotta worry ‘bout mine
I’ll just love you
I just love you
Soldiers on the line
Few are friends of mine
I move in many circles
But my colors aren’t so defined
Unless you’re fighting for Love
And, if you’re fighting for Love
Why are you fighting?
Why can’t you just accept this Love
Inviting you to be One?
And One cannot be two
And I only gotta worry ‘bout mine
And just Love you
Yes I do, yes I do
And I don’t even gotta worry ‘bout mine
I’ll just Love you
I just Love you
And I only gotta worry ‘bout mine
And just Love you
Yes I do, yeah, yes I do
And I don’t even gotta worry ‘bout mine
I’ll just Love you
Yes I do
Love you

Another One For Frances
Why, love
Do you simply deny love?
Or is it simply that my love
Is not as welcome as it would seem?
Frances,
I’m not through takin' chances
but I'm learning that this dance is
Like a whisper, like a dream
And I tried
But I see no need to hide
there's a reason that
I'm still in love with you
I'm satisfied
Just to be here by your side
But there's a reason that
I'm still in love with you
My love,
I know that you are not my love
But be content to know that my love
Is only always what it seems
Frances,
I'll forgo my advances
But it's forgone that I'm too far-gone a romantic
Not to live love like a dream
And I tried
But I see no need to hide
There's a reason that
I'm still in love with you
I'm satisfied
Just to be here by your side
But there's a reason that
I'm still in love with you
Let these moments take us
To whatever they will make us
If you don't pull then I won't push
I'll never let this break us
I feel the weight of these words
But know that their anchor is secure
Listen to me now
If you want I'll carry it alone
But there's a reason that
I’m still in love with you
I tried
But I see no need to hide
There's a reason that
I'm still in love with you
I'm satisfied
Just to be here by your side
But there's a reason that
I'm still in love with you
There's a reason that
I'm still in love with you
Lyrics: Text
Be Still My Mind
I don't mind the pulse of your rhythms, babe
But I can't step in time with them no more
There's folks that choose to die for a livin’, babe
But I'm dyin’ to live for so much more
Be still my mind
And I'll have no relation to that prison, babe
I will come and go just as I please
There's folks that need to die to be risen, babe
There's folks that must be driven to their knees
Be still my mind
Be still my mind
With every beat of my heart
Let it go
Let it go, dear
Be still my mind
Let every end be a start
And let it go
Let it all fall apart
I can't lose my voice and keep givin’, babe
I can't find the light if I can't see
And I would rather die than lose my vision, babe
You should have found someone who isn't me
Be still my mind
Be still my mind
With every beat of my heart
Let it go
Let it go, dear
Be still my mind
Let every end be a start
And let it go
Let it all fall apart
Lyrics: Text
Believe
Still can't breathe when you walk in the room
When did I become lost to you?
Little birds, they fly and I can't get the best of them
But one day I'll try and I'll fly like the rest of them
I still can't believe that you could not believe
Lightning strikes when you walk in the room
I am scared and in love with you
Little birds they fly and I can't get the best of them
But one day I'll try and I'll fly like the rest of them
I still can't believe that you would not believe
Little birds they fly and I can't get the best of them
But one day I'll try and I'll fly like the rest of them
I still can't believe that you cannot believe

Believe Intro
When you’re comin’ down
Don’t come down too far
There’s only one ground
There’s no shooting star
There’s no burning sun
No eternal God
You are only gone
You are only gone
You are only gone
We both need to wake up now
Lyrics: Text
Believe Outro
Some may say
Love is a state of mindless games we play
Fit for fools left to their fate
And, yes, it's rare, Love
To reach for the stars and find them there, Love
And there we are with burning hands full of suns
Exposing day after day
When we were only dreamin' in the night
Some may say
Love is a string of cruel games we play
A taste of reincarnation
And, yes, it's rare, my dear
To dream of romance and then awake and find it here
And suddenly we're dancing in the Light
Perhaps we missed a couple steps
When we were only dreamin' in the night
Lyrics: Text
Beloved Intro
Peace
Be still
Relax
Pay attention to what’s happening
Release
Be filled
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
My arms are open wide
As wide as the universe
My arms are open wide
Go
Be free
Go
Be free
My arms are open wide
As wide as the universe
My arms are open wide
Don’t be afraid
Lyrics: Text
Beloved Outro
Let the warriors of your mind
(Almost out of time)
Breach the borders of you heart
(Almost out of time)
You will understand in Time
(Do not be afraid)
Time will not reveal the How
(Do not be afraid)
And there is no time but Now
We will lay down our arms
And raise our hands
And when the notes get too high
When the notes get too high
She will sing for me
Lyrics: Text
Better You Than Me
Better you
Than me
If one of us
Has to be
Movin along
Better you than me
I still love you
I could not change
It's not enough
It seems so strange
You, movin on
But better you than me
And all the tears I’ve shed
Lyin’ alone in our bed
Knowing you're there next to him
But if one of us can see
Past the pain and misery
Well, it's better you than me
Better you
Than me
If one of us
Has to be
Movin along
Better you than me
Better you than me

Bone and Marrow Soul and Skin
Carry my will
Only to where I can never lay it down
There's a new life on my trail
Carry my will
Only to where I can never lay it down
There's a new life on my trail
I'll go on ahead
Without a home or a place to rest my head
There's a new life on my trail
I'll go on ahead
Without a home or a place to rest my head
There's a new life on my trail
Carry my will
Only to where I can never lay it down
If I don't make it there I may not fail
There are things
That can cause a soul to sing
Dust off its youth
Bone and marrow soul and skin
I'll go on ahead
Without a home or a place to lay my head
There's a new life on my trail
Drop my guard
Low enough to get by
Scouting what is on my trail
Drop my guard
Low enough to get by
Scouting what is on my trail
I can't stay behind
It ain't much but it's mine
Scouting what is on my trail
I can't stay behind
It ain't much but it's mine
Scouting what is on my trail
Drop my guard
Low enough to get by
If I drop it more I may not fail
There are things
That can cause a soul to sing
Dust off its youth
Bone and marrow soul and skin
Carry my will
Only until I lay it down
There's a new life on my trail
There are things
That can cause a soul to sing
Dust off its youth
Bone and marrow soul and skin
Drop my will
Let it ride on down the hill
There's a new life on my trail

Boundaries Intro
My spirit has never
Accepted this body
But I am here
Here
In time and space
Life and death
I am here
And you say it's alright
It's as it should be
And I will hold you tight
Embrace this mystery
As we cross these boundaries
Lyrics: Text
Boundaries Outro
My body was forged in the fires
It was found in the foundry
My body was gorged with desires
And then bound by these boundaries
And that’s why
Lyrics: Text
Canyon
Born in the bottom of a bottomless hole
And you gotta fill it just to save your soul
But you can't afford such a lofty goal
When you're born in the bottom of a bottomless hole
Born in the bottom of a bottomless hole
and I can feel the thunder lines
Drawn on your face
Like a canyon
Time and pressure
Can create life
Born in the bottom of a bottomless hole
And you gotta dig it just to save your soul
But you can't afford such a lofty goal
When you're born in the bottom of a bottomless hole
Born in the bottom of a bottomless hole
and I can feel the thunder lines
Drawn on your face
Like a canyon
Time and pressure
Can create life
Lyrics: Text
Carried Away
My head on my pillow
My mind will wander to thoughts of you and
Your head on my pillow
I wonder if your mind might wander too (to)
My rocks on your window
Tell me can you see where I’m going?
And it’s hard as hell to find a reason today
When all this time I taught myself to stay
By myself, now I find myself
And I’m wondering how
I ran away from you
This head on my shoulders
As heavy as my heart with thoughts of
Your head on my shoulder
And love, oh, love, love, love lead to
My ring on your finger
Tell me can you see where I’m going?
And it’s hard as hell to find a reason today
When all this time I taught myself to stay
By myself, now I find myself
And I’m wondering how
I ran away from you
Oh, lord, I feel
AndI get carried away
So, I get carried away?
I’ll carry you away
Lord, I feel
And I feel
And all I see is
My rocks on your window
And you lookin down and you let me in
My ring on your finger
And you lookin down and you let me in
My head on my pillow
Tell me can you see where I’m going?
And it’s hard as hell to find a reason now
After all this time I can’t imagine
How you could run away from me
And it’s hard this time to find a reason
It’s hard this time to find a reason
It’s...

Too many worlds tryin’ to tell me that I can't believe

And I'll believe in you
I believe in magic I believe in you
Conquer me with Love
(I surrender to your love)
Oh, darlin’

Dear Sadness (It Takes All Night For the Light of Day to Dawn On Me)
Dear sadness,
I don't live here anymore
I'm just visiting for awhile
But I know I don't belong
And I know it won't be long
til' I'm back where I belong
In Love
Dear sadness,
I don't live here anymore
I just slipped and lost my way
But I know that as I grow
I'll get high and I'll be low
But below as above
My God is Love
I don't like this world I'm livin' in
I don't like this world I'm livin' in
I don't like this skin I've thickened
To a point where I don't feel anything
I don’t like this world I’m living in
Well, I'm makin' a change
Well, I'm thinkin' about makin' a change
I'm thinkin' about thinkin' about makin' a change
Dear sadness,
I don't live here anymore
So I'd best be on my way
To love
Lyrics: Text
Delta Lake
I haunt the ballfield after dusk
Melt into the grass and
Stare into the sky where
Heaven used to be
So many lives lived in between
So many genres shot in
This same old lot where
Heaven used to be
That was the longest road
That was the longest road
That was the longest road
I ever walked down
I am a piper, I return
Inching ever closer
And further away from
Where heaven used to be
I can't even tell you how I feel
I can't even tell you
I can't even feel where
Heaven used to be
This is the hardest road
This is the hardest road
This is the hardest road
I ever walked down
I could never stay
Or learn how to believe
I'll never be okay
You’ll only ever grieve
Well I know you will
The holy fires crackle
In God's tabernacle
You'd kill all this mystery
For the freedom of your shackle
I know you will
I know you will
I know you will
I know you will

Divinity
It’s gonna be awhile before my strength returns
It’s gonna be awhile before I heal
And I can’t explain these bridges I keep stumblin’ down
But I’ll let ‘em burn
I don’t plan on quittin’ until I’m perfect
I don’t plan on quittin’ until I die
And I can’t explain this fear that I might lose my fire again
I’ll let it burn
And is it alright if I don’t save the world today?
If I just stay and sit here at your feet for awhile
Cuz I’ve been flyin’ around everybody else’s town
But today I’m stayin’ home
I got problems of my own
Rescue me
Baby
Sometimes I’m overwhelmed by what I see
So much goin’ awry but why is it always up to me?
Why do I long to be the center of somewhere that’s not my place?
When will I learn
I gotta wait my turn?
Well it is alright if I don’t save the world today
If I just stay and sit here at your feet for awhile
Cuz I’ve been flyin’ around everybody else’s town
But today I’m stayin’ home
I got problems of my own
Rescue me
Baby
Lyrics: Text
Don’t Be Afraid
Don’t be afraid
It’s only an ocean
Don’t be afraid of it
You sink or you swim
Don’t be afraid
It’s only smoke and mirrors, child
And life won’t happen ‘till your dying day
It gets harder to tell our tears from the rain
It gets harder to tell our fear from our pain
But they are not the same
So don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
It’s only a lifetime
Don’t be afraid of it
We come and we go
Don’t be afraid of it
Of all these bells and whistles, ya’ll
Cuz life won’t happen ‘till your dying day
It gets harder to tell our tears from the rain
It gets harder to tell our fears from our pain
But they are not the same
So don’t be afraid
We come and we go
And all this “in between”
Is just a show
It’s just for show
We live
We die
It’s true
The only reason why
Is that we do
You know, life is for the living
We live and die, you know
And maybe death is more forgiving
Than you or I will ever know
And life won’t happen ‘till your dying day
No, life won’t happen ‘till your dying day
Life won’t happen ‘til you’re dead and gone

Don’t Fuck It Up
Every monkey wanna swing
Every monkey wanna swing
From a higher branch
Than they can reach
Everybody wanna know
Nobody wanna learn
Everybody wanna show
Nobody wanna teach
Me nothin’
So I know nothin’
I wanna be another wannabe
Know-nothin’ know it all like you
Just like me
And she says she don’t wanna love nobody else
And you say “Lord, I could do a little better for myself”
And then God pipes in, says “Boy, I made that girl for you
Don’t fuck it up”
Oh boy, well...
Don’t fuck it up
Don’t fuck it up
Don’t fuck it up, oh boy, well
Don’t fuck
Don’t fuck
Don’t fuck it up, little boy, when
She says she don’t wanna love nobody else
Don’t fuck it up, oh boy, well
Brown bear got a bear claw full of honey
Much too much to pull from the hive
Fool paw got a paw full of money
Hey, we all gotta stay alive
If we thrive the others they go and they still survive
From them crumbs dropped from our tongues
But when we’re stung, you know, we’re
Well, we’re mortified
And she says “Maybe there’s a meal among this dirt”
And you say “Lord, I better save a little room for dessert”
And then God pipes in, says “Boy, I made that world for her, too
Don’t fuck it up”
Oh boy, well…
Don’t fuck it up
Don’t fuck it up
Don’t fuck it up, oh boy, well
Don’t fuck
Don’t fuck
Don’t fuck it up, little boy, when
She says she don’t wanna love nobody else
Don’t fuck it up, oh boy, well
I am drunk
Well I think it’s okay
I think I thunk
Just a little bit
Just a little too much today
Well, I love you, girl
If it’s okay for me to say
I love you girl, well
You were a queen with your king
Until this joker stepped in
Now it’d be obscene to end this thing
I just wouldn’t know where to begin
Well, I love you, girl
Like my skin loves to taste your grin
I love you girl, well
Lord, I am sober
Well, it’s okay
The party ain’t hardly over
I just honestly did not want to stay
I love you, girl
Well
You were a shot in the dark
God spent so much time on that face
He forgot to leave any room for your heart
He forgot to leave any room for your
And she says she don’t wanna love nobody else
And you say “Lord, I could do a little better for myself”
And then God pipes in, says “Boy, I made that girl for you
Don’t fuck it up”
Oh boy
Oh boy
