How I wish you could be happy
How I wish you could turn away
All the things that keep you asking
Should I stay
Should I stay
On the edge of disbelieving
Still the future will fall your way
All your time is lost to grieving
Wedding day
Wedding day
It’s okay
It’s okay
But life’s a beautiful lover
And love’s only timing
She’s not a typical mother
But please keep on trying
For me, keep on trying
And I’ve tried to understand it
Every moment I am afraid
Have I taken you for granted?
Please just stay
Please just stay
And I remember you singing
As tears filled my eyes
Feel my heart in you is beating
In love and alive

Downtown
Eyes down
The secrets on the city bus
Don’t tell
She sees
Bodies
She’ll never have another one
Oh well
Does it show
Her smile on a silver plate
When it’s over
Her mind is still a safer place
Come home
Unknown
The pages in the magazine
Still shine
Oh yes
Black dress
She pours herself a different drink
Each night
And she goes
Places everybody knows
Can you find her
Hiding in the afterglow
Wear a pretty little smile
Make believe
Dolls are fun for just a while
Set her free
She might be the one she really needs

Vera, glitter on your cheeks
You’re so lovely in the sun
Vera, shimmer in the breeze
Hearing color start to run
Living every fantasy
In your endless summer mind
Sitting on your balcony
Blowing kisses to the sky
Baby you’re on holiday
Did you capture every smile
Maybe you can stay this way
But it’s going out of style

Open your eyes
You’ve been sleeping through the daytime
You’ve been going round in circles in your mind
Put up a fight
For the hundredth time it’s not right
You’ve been pushed around by bullies all your life
And just when they say it’ll end
The reaper surfaces again
How many blessings can they send
To scatter useless in the wind
No end
Nowhere to hide
It’s gonna be a landslide
There’s a moment here that will not pass us by
And they say they’ve done all they can
With solemn faces they pretend
It’s time to say never again
Bring this illusion to an end
It’s time to say never again
It’s time to say never again
It’s happening every day
There’s gotta be more to life
If silence is what it takes
Stop waiting for better times

Can I take you to the beach with me
We can take all day to stroll to the sea
If you need
Wish that I had known you when
We were school kids
Still I gaze upon you now
As I once did
And though forever is always in a rush
Won’t let it get the best of us
And I can never remember very much these days
But I cannot forget your love
When I look across the room
I always find you
No one ever has to know
What our eyes do
Let’s count the rings inside the tree
Just to feel young
Let’s count the wrinkles in our skin
From the hot sun
And the ocean
And though forever could never be enough
There is a dawn upon a dusk
And to be honest I’m never in a rush
Anywhere I go that you are still my love
You’re the only one who ever made my coffee right
You’re the only one who saw the magic out of sight
So can I take you to the beach
One more time
I’ll be the sea, you’ll be the breeze
And the sunshine

Medicine Woman

Mother of the water
Flowers on the altar
Did you see me falter
When I saw you beaming
Vision of the deep blue
Remedies that you grew
Does it ever scare you
Eyes wide and dreaming
Medicine woman with braids in your hair
Pass to your daughters the beads that you wear
Medicine woman with beads in your hand
Joy of the jungle and salt of the land
Am I enchanted or am I insane
Have I been granted the violet flame
Mother of the water
Flowers on the altar
Did you see me falter
Or am I just dreaming

Jess is keen on a reckoning
She’s a wanderer at heart
Noble deeds and apologies
Raise questions from the start
Hide and seek by Juday creek
Turn and count to ten
Gonna sneak a little peek
What’s really happening
High and dry on a desert road
There’s a wellspring up ahead
Cyanide and the holy ghost
With a chalice in his hand
Take a sip it all comes quick
Her heart is pumping lead
Hold on tight to your sacred rite
Is the last thing that he said
No recall this time
Don’t look him in the eye
To turn back is to die
Does she laugh or cry
Jess digs deep for the inner peace
That always gets her by
But her ears are ringing
And she knows exactly why

Sophia

Goddess of love
What have we forgot
Mother above
Myth became a thought
There was a time
Before the age of man
Water and wine
House upon the sand
Dig through the rubble
The veil of the past
A rhythm so subtle
A chaos so vast
Look within
What do we know
When we know it all
Seeds that we sow
Right behind a wall
There is a jewel
Set into the rust
There is a fool
Kicking up the dust
Sophia unravels
She spins at her web
The spiral we travel
Begins at the end
Look within
Amber waves
Wash away the line

Only child
Wide awake
Rose so wild
Lighting up a room for her own sake
Seventeen and time to run away
She’s spinning
Moves like lace
Iona
Draws a beauty mark upon her face
Seventeen was awful fun
All those years ago
Short on sleep and dreaming of
Life in stereo
Life in stereo…
But you can’t be gone forever baby
You’re already halfway home
You can’t be gone forever baby
