A new moon along the horizon And this diver drives the night Undecided Well I am yours Your breath could lift me once more Well I leave a life behind me For a lover at my door The shore of my heart is so vast Kiss kiss kiss Symmetry This simple cemetery has many sunken ships And we danced upon the sand With the windy white of death And so we wept So we sank We held this love Love like a broken baby bird The protectors of the night had gone We let go We closed our eyes goodbye Daydreaming of light Daydreaming of light.

I see the bird without a name no title just nameless And like a bird I feel the same No title just nameless I hunger for the night and I hunger for the day What a wonderful surprise What a wonderful embrace You feel the ironies of bliss I see this flower without a name no title just nameless And like a flower I feel the same No title just nameless I hunger for the night and I hunger for the day What a wonderful surprise What a wonderful embrace You feel the ironies of bliss I see the bird without a name I see this flower it has no name I see the child without a name no title just nameless And like a child I feel the same No title Just nameless.

Here I am singing at your window And you know I have no rules When it comes to us I feel a grand surrender A song for every hour Can't you hear it getting louder? Yes loving you I love to love you Yes loving you I love to love you You! You say I'm your image your lark your secret man When you let me in you give so much to me And you tell me we will never ever be apart In the scheme of things I can't disagree with our melody For when it comes to us yes we come to us We come as us and we come for us! Yes loving you I love to love you Yes loving you I love to love you You!

Safe Mothers 06:28
They join hands and circle around a mist The daughters take form amidst the morning dews And the sons join them too In the shape of a crown A belt of human stars tie around the waist Of the meadows and the marsh Heather and charm Fallen fathers just want to name the garden Well ain't your mother safe? Ain't your mother safe? Meridians we are without fault Invisible lightning bolts Halo of chalk Bones dirt and salt I'm not blue I am violet blood inside your veins Another hue to paint your mother's grace To paint your mother's grace Unlock my heart and walk me to my fate Please cultivate this heart So that I may someday be her sky Her wide open terrain Her day her night Within our mother's face Within our mother's face.

Whenever you want walk me to the lake And draw an arrow on your face We will dance for all we have Take my hand and sway You always said to speak my need And if I call your name in this strange dream We will dance for all we have Take my hand and sway Stay with me Stay with me Stay with me And if you run girl let it linger on The love we have is young We will dance for all we have Take my hand and sway Stay with me Stay with me Stay with me and breathe.

True love is the end A giver of pain and yet a painkiller Wrong lovers at the right time Right lovers at the wrong time I don't know which song we were I curve with a hundred moons My blood has a chart of stars Mirrors face and hearts embrace There is no smoke that's between us I've known you as you've known me True love is the end A giver of pain and yet a painkiller Wrong lovers at the right time Right lovers at the wrong time I don't know which song we were I held you with all my heart There's a drift that rips the limbs of this tryst Mirrors go vague and a light fades There is a smoke that's between us I can't see you can't see me True love is the end A giver of pain and yet a painkiller Wrong lovers at the right time Right lovers at the wrong time I don't know which song we were I held you with all my heart I held you with all my heart You make me now and it hurts.

I love you I do and I want you thru and thru So won't you dance with me in this mystery Won't you dance with me in this mystery? There's no reason to think and no purpose to be Won't you dance with me in this mystery? The leaves touch the ground One day when they've died And my heart would be so dry Without your light Won't you dance with me in this mystery? And be my every single day Amid this great nothing I laugh so hard that I cry I smile wide but I don't know why Why why why? Sunday morning chills this autumn's weight Now I have thawed as you have called me To your secret name I love you I do and I want you thru and thru.

Elm Tree 05:33
We are sure that there's no one else Who could play in our mysterious game Even I stop and start while listening to The voices of the choices from the young part Of my heart Samara, We come from the same seed Fruit of a poem that you brush upon my long teeth You let the wind shape this home and our wings I feel I don't know so let's just be I sit and I watch as you swing Underneath my old elm tree I can see us as we blend in with the leaves No mirage just autumn's camouflage You tell me that there's a spirit that we can only sense It guides our flight keeping us side by side I sit and I watch the red bats that are tied with silver string I sit and I watch as you swing Underneath my old elm tree I sit and I watch the red bats that are tied with silver string.
