and we walk the road as long as the road goes
and we try to dodge the the rock the valley throws
revealer caught a fever
we all have a sinking stone
and the road presents a twisting case of fate
a meaner eye you need to contemplate
the season comes with a reason
we all have a setting sun
distance, mark of distance
your burden is your brilliance
there's a vessel, a hidden vessel
in the stone
difference, not indifference
your passion marks you different
and you wrestle, and how you wrestle
to come to know
the whispering light
the truth is awful quiet
like it's whispering in night
can tell you how to
break the fever
with light
the truth is awful quiet
like whispering in light
can tell you how to...
and light is less and light is more in some
for don't confuse the weather for the sun
revealer, magic healer
and when will your vision come?
and lightning rods will guide your journey home
and revelations from a fist of bones
and when the rock weighs heavy in your soul
just tell her that you have earned the right to know
revealer, how to break the fever
and carry it in, like those demons your kin
and you'll render it secret then
distance, mark of distance
your burden is your brilliance
there's a vessel, a hidden vessel
in the stone
difference, not indifference
your passion sparks resillience
and you wrestle, and how you wrestle
to come to know
the whispering light
the truth is awful quiet
like it's whispering in light
can tell you how to
break the fever
with light
the truth is awful quiet
whispering in light
can tell you how to
break the fever
with light
the truth is awful quiet
whispering in light
can tell you how to...
all of the falling on the ground
??? in ground i lay down
a shrine and i
come with the autumn to tear it down
orange and brown
and i lay a soft down for all the
waiting old and
thine brethren
bathing bones and brine
separate your light from mine
multiply
under the spell of full november moon
light on the broom
frost in my room
in through a window came a ghost i knew
she paid me a visit while i was in my bed
sleepy, she said,
"sleep as though dead
for in the morning you are called"
is what she said to
the high desert all is raging
you must go to the battlefield
and follow the cry
of men rampaging
and gather the ones that won't heal
down through a cloud of smoke to the promised land
many are dead
river runs red
for my god and for my king is what he said
? to my knees with my lips to his ear
my hand to his chest
his wounded breast
for my god and for my king
i will not rest
but in the high desert
you are dying
for your god and his ghost and the son
do not hold to the earth in which you are lying
for the kingdom can never be won
all of the falling on the ground
holder in ground
i lay down a shrine
and i come with the autumn
to tear it down
orange and brown
and i lay a soft down
for all our
waiting old and
thine brethren
bathing bones in brine
separate your light from
mine
let go of the earth
and there's a light switch baby you turned it on
don't you ever leave me here in the dark
and there's a red room deep in my house you come and meet me and i'll
lay down a feast of the heart
and there's a light switch baby you turned it on
don't you ever leave me here in the dark
and there's a bedroom deep in my house you come and meet me and i'll
lay down a feast of the heart
'cause your skin's dancing

today on my birthday
you were home when i arrived
you were standing in the doorway
when i pulled into the drive
an excitement came over me
and i rushed out of the car
and i jumped up to be carried in your arms
i haven't felt that way
since i was a child
a grown woman jumping up and down
like i was a child
the dream went dark
when my eye opened
and i'd remembered that you'd gone
and i struggled there to fall back asleep
and i remembered that you'd gone
and my grief was deep and my joy was happy
because you visited me from beyond
on my birthday
you visited me from beyond
i haven't felt that way
since i was a child
a grown woman jumping up and down
like i was a child
my love
my love is missing
my love is far gone
where do i find her
my heart
i was rambling
i was far gone
where do i find her
hey hey hi do you hear me
i feel somewhere you are here
for when i talk to you i intensely feel you are listening
my only wish i wish that i could hear your voice
angel mom
later that day driving in my car
i turned on the radio
we were watching the graveyard stones pass by
and the songs they come and go
and the dj played a song called enemy
it was a song you know i wrote
on my birthday
you were telling me that you know
i haven't felt that way
since i was a child
a grown woman jumping up and down
like i was a child
my love
my love is missing
my love is far gone
where do i find her
my heart
i was rambling
i was far gone
where do i find her
my love
my love is missing
my love is far gone
where do i find her
my heart
i was rambling
i was far gone
where do i find her
hey hey hi do you hear me
i feel somewhere you are here
for when i talk to you i intensely feel you are listening
my only wish i wish that i could hear your voice
angel mom
come and bring your stereo
come and bring your stereo
(lay down on my pillow)
down into a dream we go
down into a dream we go
(never know where we go)
under the shelter of a willow tree
sam and i awoke where we were once sleeping
the bed that we lay upon is camomile
and it smells like bubble gum for real
skunk and owl and doe
gather 'round my radio
then with a resonance that split the earth
the skunk cried a call like one i've never heard
and from the crevasse a cuckoo clock emerged
and from it a little wooden bird
he spread apart its beak
and time began to speak
i'll gift you 1 2 3
songs as old as me
come and bring your stereo
come and bring your stereo
(and lay down on a pillow)
down into a dream we go
down into a dream we go
(you never know where we go)
climbing a statue that stands fifty feet
the cast of a woman that looks just like me
to find that my character was caught completely
cemented from head down to my feet
a bee flew from my nose
he said come and bring your stereo
down to my throat to what seemed like my teeth
the bee turned the stereo to bump a beat
and he began a buzzing in the key of B
all to instigate the crumbling of concrete
the mask fell from skin
left me younger than i've ever been
i'll gift you 1 2 3
youth eternally
?
my sweet little loretta
i love it when you put the warm milk and honey in my bowl
get up, now don't you go and get up
i'm gonna show you how to love my jelly roll
oh how i love my johnny boy
and if you ever leave me baby i'll be destroyed
let's make a baby, johnny boy
right here in this little room
and we'll call it june
come and bring your stereo
come and bring your stereo
(lay down on my pillow)
down into a dream we go
down into a dream we go
(you never know where we go)
one summer evening at a block party
the juice from the ghetto blaster was failing
so we hijacked elliptical piracy
because nobody had a battery
and the gods of rock 'n' roll
hypnotised my stereo
i gift you 1 2 3
ad rock, mca, mike d
come and bring your stereo
come and bring your stereo
(and lay down on my pillow)
down into a dream we go
down into a dream we go
(you never know where we go)
tell me bring your stereo
tell me bring your stereo
(and lay down on my pillow)
down into a dream we go
down into a dream we go
(you never know where we go)
i'm not a bird
i'm a murder of birds
shifting my shape
when your tongue finds the words
like i hate you when i
love you the most
love you the most
love you the most
this shape of a snake
in a defensive coil
same retracted lips
of the one foolish girl
says she hates you when she
loves you the most
loves you the most
loves you
and i've got demons when i need 'em
don't ask to see them they're not
supposed to be used against
you oh
can we build a safe house
far from the bitter bride
and we'll make a home with a brown recluse
and the cobra locked outside
for the spider we'll give a web
to the cobra a lullaby
and keeping the demons happy
you make free for me to fly
and the shape of home baked bread
and the girl in a turned down bed
and a wick of twisted thread
from the loving words you said
birds
and i think i'm alone
in desire for grace
fire only shimmered
and i'm no longer safe
i say i hate you and i
love you the most
love you the most
love you the most
this shape of my breast
and a shape of my kiss
demented coil
with a slither and hiss
said i hate you and i
love you the most
love you the most
love you
and i've got demons
when i need 'em
don't ask to see them they're not
supposed to be used against
you oh
can we build a safe house
far from the bitter bride
and we'll make a home with a brown recluse
and the cobra locked outside
to the spider we'll give a web
to the cobra a lullaby
and keeping the demons happy
you make free for me to fly
and the shape of home baked bread
and the girl in a turned down bed
and a wick of twisted thread
from the loving words you said
the shape of home baked bread
and the girl in a turned down bed
and a wick of twisted thread
from the loving words you said
'cause i'm not a bird
i'm a murder of birds
LA is hot as fuck
and Manchester's about to freeze
you're on your way to the mail
to get a letter from me
and ? a separation at the ancient bell she ?
curl up your every night in a bed across the sea
words are
all we have
the touch
they our fingers
and i love our words so much
and write
your lips to kiss me now
and i can taste you as i read
the words out loud
you rise and start your day with toast and black tea
while i'm in the still of night and pushing back sleep
and i'll write until the hands of the clock 'til they fall up on 3
and drop me in your virtual garden for eleven seas
words are
all we have
to touch
they are our fingers
and i love our words so much
i write your
hands between my legs
and i can feel you as the words
jump from the page
the sky is bruised
it's lusty dusk
of the lovers' rouge
wet with ? and musk
under you
under dreams spell dusk
and it's true
and i know that i must
end with you
i hear me ? trust
and it's so that i fell at first blush
and it's snowing in australia
just now your letter came
and the pages did say
that you'll fly from your home to mine
on january 8th
and just now i find that i can just barely wait
and from now until that time i'm counting down the days
words are
all we have
to touch
they are our fingers
and i love our words so much
and write yourself inside ?
and i can feel you as the words come pouring out
and words are
all we have
to touch
they are our fingers
and i love our words so much
and write your ?
and i will stitch them in this heart of mine
i'm in australia
Ada, my rarest bud from the desert valley
your hair of fire and skin of snow have coursed me to
heights of the desert mountains
in search of a cure for a rampant fever
your beauty's power it plagues me now
i come and scour the land
for the desert flower
for beauty and perfume
i'd stake my house and my lands
the gold is sleeping in the river
but the flower's in my hand
with a paler leaf and a broken petal
i'll bate the king and queen
and to the goldsmith with my flower
i'll buy a wedding ring
tulip tulip
with one what I would buy
oxen, sheep and wheat and rye
land on North Seaside
tulip tulip
with one what I would buy
finest dresses man could buy
and a pearl for to pay my bride
then with my rarest bowl to her father's garden
like gold for lamb or wool for clam
i gave that man the bowl for his daughter
Ada your heart is mine and it's mine forever
and she replied, "my faith that lies on yon' horizons
tethered me to the sky"
the match arranged and vows exchanged and the dove flew away
the bells spilled out the hollow canyon on our wedding day
to me she gave her hand and to death do us part
but the bird will nest with the one that she has promised her heart
tulip tulip
with one what I would buy
the bed from which our sons will rise
and the window where she cries
tulip tulip
with one what I would buy
a net to catch the birds that fly
from the window where she cries
he reaches out and i withdraw
spilling the flowering bribes from his paw
the broken petals climbing the walls
stealing my oxygen o'er and oh
from the bed i hear him call
but i answer cooing when the night falls
the cotton sown is storming the hall
cutting my vision to no sight at all
i tied the tulip around her neck
like a red lead sinker
and blindfold and spin around
and 'round and 'round
to the banks of the river and then walk
my true love into the rushing waters
and by her long hair, bleeding red hair
i pulled my love there under
until she drowned
for beauty and perfume
i'd stake my house and my lands
my love is sleeping in the river
but the flower's in my hand
with a paler leaf and a broken petal
i'll keep her all to me
and to the river with my flower
i'll hear my true love sing
all water is still in my friend
ready to drown
water water oh water my kin
carry me out this
iron river is mercy at last
die as she laughs for
he's waiting with a dove's nest
my true love
tulip tulip
with one what I would buy
the veil that parted o'er my bride
and the breath as my true love died
tulip tulip
with...
tulip tulip
...
...
and the tall trees all have fell down
and they scattered seeds on the ground
and one is lost and one is found
water is moving underground
when i was a young girl
i would sleep in a tall tree
on the down of bending boughs
and from the mount of his shoulders
i would traverse the valleys
through his dusk and dawning eyes
i will let you inside the door to my arrow
and you will wear my bones and my skin
hunting my dress
love is ruthless
and in the nest from the forest
i would carry an ember
and with a burning heart we'd walk
and when he asks me to rest with him
i would lay down my fire
and in that heart we'd sing and talk
i am a racoon
and you are an owl
i will run from you in the middle of the night
and we will stike a truce in the the billowing tower
and we'll eclipse the moon with a fire light
hunting my dress
love is ruthless
you love me in my dreams
it's easier when i'm fast asleep
but i don't want you to come to me anymore
the river bed has married me
so i don't want you to come to me anymore
and out of ashes comes morning
and the ritual of bathing
in the pools at bridal falls
and from the mouth of my lover
i will drink of the river
and kiss his jade and marble walls
you have spilled the red from my heart with your arrow
and you will make my bed under the red grass
and i will give my flesh and my blood and my marrow
and you will wear my bones and my skin
hunting my dress
love is ruthless
and the tall trees all fell down
and they scattered seeds on the ground
one is lost and one is found
water is moving underground
and you're the one who showed to me the sky
it's so much more than you and i
and darling i wish i had the time
the river is whispering goodbye
bye
bye
in my chest of a cage
wrapped with a gold velvet ribbon
in the cage of the bird
? present ?
for the moment you had turned to me
in the bird there's a heart
keeps a wind under her feathers
in my heart there's a song
makes you feel like we're together
in the moment you had talked to me
my boo my boo
my boo my boo
in the song there is a flame
burning the length of a candle
in the flame there is a wish
soon you will be holding my hand
in the moment you had turned to me
in my hand there is a love
like a long awaited letter
in the love there is a road
one that you and i walk together
in the moment you had turned to me
my boo my boo
my boo my boo
my boo my boo
in this darkened heart of mine
your love has shined a light for me
when you're gone i pine and long
write this song over don't be gone too long
and don't go
and don't go
and don't go
down the road there's a house
under a milky way sky light
in the house there is a room
where i will wait through the long night
for the moment you had turned to me
in the room, there is a bed
under a ? of daisies
in the bed brand new boo
careful to not wake the baby
in the moment you had turned to me
my boo my boo
my boo my boo
my boo my boo
my boo my boo
