Sparrow

As the river finds a different way
You remember what you could have said
Haven’t you heard, through the wind, of the word
That it was I, the lonely sparrow?
As the river finds a different way
You remember what you could have said
Haven’t you seen, through splattered aubergine,
A poor old mutt bathing in your finest wine?

Lady in Yellow
02:51
|

|
Lady in yellow, why so blue?
Have you no honey, or no roof?
Lady so quiet, can’t you speak?
Have you a string tied tight ‘round your beak?
It’s not like you to speak of fire
Although, at times, I do admire

Lately
03:26
|

|
Baby, lately I have grown
Far out of any shoes I once owned
Maybe someday I will find, on your dime,
A piece of my mind
Upon hearing tales of the ocean
I sought to lose what’s mine
For I once sailed it in my head
Long ago…

Roots & Spring
04:09
|

|
Said I was born on a rainy day
Said I was torn from my roots and my spring
Said I felt green when the sky stayed grey
But that don’t mean that I can’t blow those blues away
Up through the Peaks, ‘round my knees, you will plead softly
To stay here
As I comply, dawn arrives and we sigh deeply
No more fear
Said I once saw my mind sit still
Froze in awe, then lightning paced up and
Down the hill
Said I was high as the soil beneath
Sealed away from scorn and my own disbelief
Up through the Peaks, ‘round my knees, you will plead softly
To stay here
As I comply, dawn arrives and we sigh deeply
No more fear

Sideways

Winter breeze in Waterloo
Through with ease, in spite of you
Can’t you see my part in this?
Watch the soil drip from my wrist
Through the long winter, as you watch your hair grow long
You recall the summer and the tinkling of the throng
Where I lay, beside the Bay
Sun-drenched, quiet, and yours to take
Will you see our part in this?
Shale stays cold, cold as your fist
Through the long winter, as you watch your hair grow long
You recall the summer and the tinkling of the throng

Must Be
04:06
|
|||
|
“There must be something in the sun,”
Said the sparrow to the dove
“I’ve got a plan for you and I
(I’ve got a story filled with lies)
Please take this water, share my style,
As I might stay here for a while”
“Then while you wait here for the sun,
Expect your lover to come undone”

Where I Belong
04:29
|
|||
|
Who we are in our shrouds, in our dust
Who we are without sounds on the bus
How do I not walk far through this land?
How do I dig so deep in the sand?
I know where I belong
Somewhere not far from this tree
Who we are among crowds, among signs
Who we are because both dictate lines
How do I not walk far through this land?
How do I dig so deep in the sand?
I know where I belong
Somewhere not far from this tree
How will I ever hold this again?
How will I tie these clouds and pretend?
Calm is the snow this evening cold
Take as I am, as you know

Wild Thing
01:48
|
|||
|
Wild thing, do you need
A pair of wings among the rest of my things?
Wild thing, do you own?
Like a roof, a car, some gold, or a stone?
Wild thing, do you breathe?
Or are you found with rum and blood on your teeth?
Wild thing, feel you greed?
Or to hunt in hope of dodging the need?
