RIVER
I've made a decision, to throw away the letters that I've kept for years
I don't need permission, just sitting in a room full of souvenirs
Turning a new page, I can't wait. Didn't think I had it in me.
Eye of the river
Mouth of the sea
I wanna be like the water
Going where I need to be
If I'm to deliver
I have to believe
I am a river
It's part of my condition
It's hard to let go of the devil that you know
But now I'm in remission
Packing up my boxes letting it all go
Starting a new day, I can't wait, didn't think I had it in me.
Eye of the river
Mouth of the sea
I wanna be like the water
Going where I need to be
If I'm to deliver
I have to believe
I am a river
A hundredth time, the well worn lines they drags me down and they pull me under
and I wonder in this life of mine, can make the climb?
Can turn the tide
one more time?
NEWTON'S LAW
I sometimes lie sometimes lie on the grass at night
wondering if I fell
Through the sky through the sky smash the glass ignite
the oyster in the shell
Could I fly, cut the tie to the past, slide on
culling the unanswered calls
I sometimes lie sometimes lie on the grass at night
I’m not too young to say I’m lonely
I’m not too old to say I’m bored
I’m not too proud for you to hold me
Won’t you help me, like you did before
Can you help me now?
Newton’s Law
I sometimes lie sometimes lie on the grass and dream
wanna feel the heat you burn
In the flesh rip the corner run down the seam
feel the pulling from the planet’s palm
Can’t deny bitter light in the love I’ve seen
won’t you come on in and turn me on
I sometimes lie sometimes lie on the past it seems
I’m not too young to say I’m lonely
I’m not too old to say I’m bored
I’m not too proud for you to hold me
Won’t you help me, like you did before
Can you help me now?
Newton’s Law
oh oh oh Newton’s Law
I sometimes lie sometimes lie on the grass and cry
could gravity let me go
Holding on to the ringing in the great divide
there’s something else you don’t know
I walked the line til the dust and the grime dried on
til the dying outlived the grow
I sometimes lie sometimes lie on the grass and cry
I’m not too young to say I’m lonely
I’m not too old to say I’m bored
I’m not too proud for you to hold me
Won’t you help me, like you did before
Can you help me now?
Newton’s Law
oh oh oh Newton’s Law
NTIMATE CONVERSATION
The most intimate conversation I ever had was with a stranger
He was almost naked on the bed
All I could do was speak my mind and bread the bread
His eyes so dark hair darker still
Skin so white as he lay in the sheets
I told him things I’d never said before
The way he listened made me show him so much more
He brushed my hair
The way he cared
Surprised myself
He brushed my hair
The way he cared
Surprised myself
I didn’t know I had it in me
I didn’t know I had it in me
The most intimate conversation I ever had was with a stranger
He took me places I never dared to go
Backstage in his one man show so sacred
He smiled as the words I spoke rolled off my tongue and then he kissed me
I could see us in his eyes so bright
The way he held me close that night
Come injest me
He brushed my hair
The way he cared
Surprised myself
He brushed my hair
The way he cared
Surprised myself
I didn’t know I had it in me
I didn’t know I had it in me
AS LONG AS WE'RE DANCING
Bird fly north
Far wind blow
I'm your ebb
You're my flow
As long as we’re dancing
As long as we’re dancing
One day
You’ll say
We were something
Youth’s last song
In one voice
Here and gone
Endless joy
As long as we’re dancing
As long as we’re dancing
My blood, my kin
Wake my body
As long as we’re dancing
As long as we’re dancing
In the union
Run the ribbon round
