Walking slowly
Same old path I know
Silently I’m screaming

Spring is Here

Spring is here. Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here. Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire, no ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here. Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear. Why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here I hear

Lyrics:
Gently rest your head down, down
Softly let your eyes dim the light and let the night fall
Floating from the sky to the ground
Tuck your heavy heart in tonight
It’s time to let go and slowly tiptoe home
Go home. Go home. Go home.
Spinning as you crumble to your knees
Holding shattered pieces of your dreams that now must fade and fall
Frozen as your mind turns to stone
Floods of thoughts start racing through your bones
It’s time to let go and slowly tiptoe home
Go home. Go home.
Come home. Come home.
How long must we cling to the light?
With weary hearts and weary eyes we cry
How long must we cling?
How long must we cling?
How long must we cling to the light with weary hearts and weary eyes?
We’ve cried. We’ve cried. We’ve died.
So gently rest your head down, down
Softly let your eyes dim the lights and let the night fall

I have dreamed that your arms are lovely
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be
I have dreamed every word you'll whisper when you're close, close to me
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view
In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know what it's like to be loved by you
//
I’m in Dreamsville holding you
A dreamy view, just we two alone
In love in Dreamsville, time is new
We're here to love and we do
We can see the rest of the world below us
From our pink cloud
There's no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring hand in hand
In dreamy Dreamsville far away
And here we love, here we stay

Turn In

These words you’ve spoken wrapped the earth in flames
We’re helpless underneath the smoke
As time turns back we can’t move
And bullets fly toward those who have no say
And silence hasn’t broken
Afraid to be outspoken
So weep because the world is weeping
And hold on tight because the world is turning in
So weep because the world is weeping
And hold on tight because the world is turning in
Though pain runs deep it forces light to grow
A sea of strangers painted love to prove no wall could save you
These eyes I see hold songs I long to hear
And silence can be broken
Silence will be broken
But weep because the world is weeping
And hold on tight because the world is turning in
Weep because the world is weeping
And hold on tight because the world is turning in
The world is turning in

Cloud Shaped Thoughts

A town too small
With eyes too cold
Cloud shaped thoughts are calling me
The ol’ doug fir
He held my fear
As cloud shaped thoughts were calling me
I need to find a place to call home
The searching steers my mind
Crushed by the worry that I’ve already found it
Would I want this for my child?
A year grew old
I danced through tears
As cloud shaped thoughts followed me
The pen that hugs the page so gently paves the way
Turns out the answer doesn’t come from clinging tighter
Would I want that for my child?
The mind holds fast
And still I stay
As cloud shaped thoughts are part of me
Would I want this for my child?

Other Side

I’ll tell you a thing or two about the Devil
He held me while I cried and helped me fly
And I’ve learned a thing or two about the folks who raised him
His mama’s eyes were kind
But fear ruled her mind while G-d kept her blind
So she twisted up his life in knots with any rule to save his soul
No games with cards
No sinnerman’s guitar
No pins to bowl
No dice to roll
No magical tales or your path be derailed
The Lord must prevail
Hey Mother, are you in there?
Your heart seems trapped within your mind
Hey Ma, I’ve gotta find another way
‘Cause something doesn’t feel right
He packed the only bag he had and built himself a tender life
At the top of his class even holding her kin
She relentlessly told him his life was a sin
So they drifted and swayed until her mind began to fade
As her mind let go of memories she loved life like a child
This devil son, now she called number one
She laughed and she cried while he stayed by her side
No longer confined by her old, narrow mind
It came to be that time had turned the page
Her soul had found its way home
Living memories through tears, what a curious year
Finding love deep inside a vacant mind
Without rules or blame she saw we’re all just the same
And to the Devil she could say
Hallowed be thy name
Hey Mother, are you up there?
I’d love to know what’s on your mind
Hey Ma, you know it really isn’t fair
That you only learned to love
Once you lost your mind
But I hope you’re restin’ easy on the other side
