red hot sun
04:01
|
|||
the clouds are changing overhead
and we can too
the rivers reaching through the bend
and we can too
the calendar laughs
and I forget
that no flower
blooms all year long
I want to lose my body
in a turquoise tide
and the roll of the red hot sun

new moon
05:54
|
|||
the moon is shy
in a tight black cape
mars
the maternal eye
sinks inside
the solar plane
and it don't ask our permission
it don't need our blessing
she is what she is
she does what she does
there ain't no second guessing
and the chemicals
wax and wane
a red cloud of smoke
and there's no hawk of war
and there's no peaceful dove
cus what we think we know
ends and begins at what we're taught
such sophisticated language
for so little understanding
there's no universal truth
from one point of view
there's no truth
but the paths to understanding
surround you
so listen to your sisters
and listen to your brothers
and let their voices rise with the others
history was written
but some were forgotten
let their stories sprout out
like flowers in a garden
it's our garden

fruit, bread and cream
i've got all that I need
and I feel rich
when you stand next to me
and we're carving our own paths
like snakes in the sand
and we're waiting on a sign
fruit, bread and cream
I found my soul
when you gave me a name
and I feel rich
cus we're still dreaming
and we're carving our own paths
parachutes across the sky
and we're waiting on a sign
fruit, bread and cream
your eyes, moonlight
and mary jane
the warm curve
of your body
I got what I need

red bird, white rose
05:09
|
|||
god is cruel
but god is me
waiting room
energy
out of you
and
out into the air
out of you
and
out
into the great unknown
and the black side of my heart
a nest of soot and twine
turned to greet the world
again
unkind
I thought I saw you red bird
I thought I felt you white rose
shadow over my head
shadow over the family
shadow over the home
shadow over my head
shadow over the family
wish you could come home
I thought I saw you red bird
I thought felt you white rose

renaissance
03:44
|
|||
a row of potatoes
and a big black dog
the quiet dreams
of my youth
got lost in the fog
hanging heavy overhead
mistakes I hadn't made yet
a yellow termite at the center of my
best intentions
it was in black and blue water
where I felt your hand
we were baptized by the ocean
she curled my hair
and shrunk my head
and when we finally came to shore
when our bodies hit the sand
it was then
that I knew
we were animals
long before man
as the calendar laughs
we wander farther from the truth
a couple paid holidays
become a life pursuit
you can teach your soul to dance
or you can settle for a dream
lay your head down every night
and replay your fantasy
