Do you remember
Do you remember how it sometimes seemed
The kindness that the wide world needs
Was possible
Do you remember
Do you remember how we understood
We’d work together for the common good
To make things possible

Ten…

Open heart
Confidence and flaws
Trying all her life
To be everything she ever was
And what they saw was real
And what they saw was bright
So, they tried to take her down
They said her light just didn’t…

Just leave the pieces where they shattered 
And when the rain comes let it fall 
And in the winter when it freezes 
Just let the snow cover it all 
When your heart thaws 
When you’re all raw 
Then you will…

It’s morning again and I’m trying to pretend 
That this room isn’t strange as can be 
But this house is just cold in its soul, it’s not home to me          
I dig with frustration to find my foundation 
Still I…

A heart wants what a heart wants 
You can tell it that it’s wrong  
Oh, but the heart will want what a heart still wants 
Even when the hoping is gone 
You can tame a wild heart into submission 
You…

Your brilliant ramblings and your gritty eyes 
Validate my instincts when you tell your lies 
An unlikely respite from the shifting skies
If I escape to you, would I lose 
Would I lose my mind

My wanderings days are now…

Wheels keep tearing down my 
Worn out highway so why  
Does the touch of you feel new 
Crashed my life up so I 
Try to understand why   
You make darkened skies this blue 
 
I want to steer the other way …

Don’t tell me the milk's gone bad
The dog is sick, the neighbor's mad
Don't tell me I did it wrong
It all turned sour, it took too long
Tell me I turned it all around
Tell me something good…

He sat  
On a bench 
In a park 
Played guitar 
The crowd  
Just walked by 
Except the one 
She sat down  

And a funny bird was singing along
Mmmmm 
And a funny bird was taking him home 
Taking him home

…

A riff is drifting near my ear
The river moves it's never still
I toss my song into the air
The river catches always will
It rushes as it rounds the bend
And throws my music back again
A game…

Tis the season, I see the lights but I feel broken
The world Is hurting, hate is tearing us apart
This maze of walls between us, has left us frozen
Afraid to take a step together in the dark

Perhaps…

I go out walking late at night
You hide behind addicting screens
The spirits tell me I'm alright
You medicate your silent screams
Ooooh
I look for ghosts
I talk to ghosts

The worldly noise confuses us
Our souls controlled…

Every little once-in-a-while, I catch a glimpse of your face

Smiling, breathing, looking so real

I know that you're gone; you see, I'm starting to heal

But can I help it if I sometimes

Fly, fly away to you

Now…

Memory pieces like a fallen puzzle

Scattered deep and scattered far

People who have formed me living in my in my head

Instead of gathered on my shore

Life might grow a little sweeter as I ripen on the vine…

What if it's warm in my room but I suddenly go outside

What if it's dark and it's cold and I realize I don't even mind

What if I climb up the hill to the place where the coyotes sing…

Manhattan rushed against me, and the crowds just made me lonely 

As I made my way through Times Square heading north

I saw a tourist hand her baby to a grimy costumed Elmo 

In the street, all for a tacky…

I ran, secure from your warm arms 

When the tree line hopped to meet the sky

When the sidewalk laughed beneath the puddle

When I jumped in my boots and tried to fly

And I ran straight home to you…

Don’t listen to my words, listen to my heart, listen to my heart

Don’t listen to my words, listen to my heart, listen to my heart

Round and round and round and round we go

Trying to express the love…

Way past the waterfall

Beyond the bullfrog's call

There is a place so wonderful

Our problems are not problems anymore

Where people don't need wasted words

To catch a heart when it falls

Where true intentions

Are seen and you…

We can't control the weather, can't turn the sky from grey to blue

We can't make the world behave, can't even watch the evening news

We can't see the future, can't know our loving will survive 

But I can take…
