Mountain Laurel

You drag your tired feet
Across the wooden floor
Watering your sad
Wilted green house plants
Climbing in bed
In the afternoon
Sleeping through time
You blame your broken dad
Do you remember when
The mountain laurel
Made the air smell sweet
It was a dreamglow
Shifting colors
Blue green and yellow
Though it felt strange
You embraced the change
It won’t always be this way
One day you’ll turn around
I’ll never leave you
I am a solid ground
Do you remember when
The mountain laurel
Made the air smell sweet
It was a dreamglow
Shifting colors
Blue green and yellow
Though it felt strange
You embraced the change

Crescent Moon

You are a thin crescent moon
I, the earth’s shadow
Keeping me from seeing
All of you
All of you
I am a mirror dimly lit
Pining for purpose
Wearing myself thin
Wanting more
Wanting more
You shine so pure
Gracious dove
Giving to who lacks thereof
Oh how I need
Oh how I need
My love is pale
You shine right through
The veil I’ve worn
Is torn in two

White Water
04:59
|

When I’m kicking and screaming
And digging my feet in
Gritting my teeth and pushing you away
You know me
You know me
You know me
Better than anyone else
I can run and disappear
Like mirages in the desert
An abandoned adobe house
Cactus arms dry and weathered
Everything I think
And everything I thought
Tends to rot
Tends to rot
You know me
You know me
You know me
Better than anyone else
When I was young
The river caught my eye
With it’s emerald hands
It drew me in
I got lost
I got lost
I got lost
I got lost
White waters move quickly
Oh father come get me
White waters move quickly
Oh father come get me
White waters move quickly
Oh father come get me
I get lost all the time
White waters move quickly
Oh father come get me
I get lost all the time

Sun Skin

I wanna dance
I wanna dance
I wanna know what it feels like
To be alive in my own skin
To feel my own heart beatin
The shape of hands were made for holding
And it’s so hard to let things go
It’s a game of push and pull
I go left, you go right
I’ve been wondering
What it’s like
To be innocent again
You light the fire
Warm like the sun on my skin
Isn’t it nice
Returning in to begin
Dizzy with light
Twirling and shaking our limbs
