Wedding Song

Let me into your garden
Let me rain, let me thunder
If it's right - we will prosper
It is right - oh, prospering!
It's alright, be my man
It's alright, darling
We - the child of the sun
We're the stars above, honey
Come on down, show me love,
Eternal Love, baby
In the night - burn so bright
catch my eye, sweetie
All of me - I will give you
In return - let me learn you
Through life - and in death also
As above - and below

Old Inside
04:35
|

|
I grew old inside of my room
Saw old friends that we had known
But the way I felt it all again
And even if we don't start again
Baby you know - we'd both be lying
Keep your head up, keep trying
Baby you know - don't be lying
Fuck old ways we have known
I don't see the way I was shown
But yours is right but I defy
Keep your head up, keep trying
Baby you know - don't be lying
Keep your head up, keep trying
Baby you know - don't be lying
And in the quiet edges of my mind in the hedges
I hear it nice and quiet - sweet humming in the night
And when the heart is hoping-ing
I know we're not to blame
but I've seen if from my eyes
crystal-clear recognize
and when the door won't open out
god would not recognize
I see you as disguise
I see you in the night

Nag Champa

Shoot me a look
I'm struck, I'm stone
makes me want to bite you
down to your bones
so simple so kind so lush so sweet
makes me full makes me proud like a
Cana feast
You got me pining for you
in the Georgia sun
when everything was quiet
and our nest was spun
I popped us a bottle
and you lit a few
Nag Champa on a candle
and the time done flew
Baby you're so right
ya - you saw my light
I look back now and smile long
knowing the things I did for you
I'll say it once, I'll say again
blessed be this man that I have met
Eyes covered down now, now with your lid
well I assume it was right where my finger slid
heart-heavy no more now I found my cup
of tall water, now forgive me
as I drink it up
baby you're so right
you saw my light
and I fell for you in the fall
when it was you so kind, so tall

Forest Song
03:56
|

|
we let things go inside our minds
I see ya in mountain's chines
and then the doves come singing 'round
and I am writhing on the ground
anywhere that I have been
with you - I do enjoy the thrill of
patiently extending hands
and putting things on the shelf
maybe I'm a rotten manwho
occupies a stolen land
some ancient thing until the end
hold my hand - turn into land
something's come, but all must go
people die and then they glow
I'm not waiting for the end
I'll enjoy the ride; rest, no defend
When our minds decide the time to
turn off the lights, become divined
old energy getting wove back in
escape the bonds of life and death and sin
sweet baby you will turn into all the things that I knew
just celebrating elements
we think we're still but we never rest
in good time all things die - no rewind, no you and I
just cosmic rain drenching the Blue
fragmented Spain all into you
at one time I loved you so
I kissed your chest went down below

Just Come Kindly

such a sweetie
when you're with me
I fall down slowly
I fall down slow
when you say strongly
"you're my only"
I fall down slowly
fall down slow
I get rhythm
soaked in chrism
sweet Alyssum
I'm all peach, pear, plum
Hoc est corpus meum
sed non in perpetuum
tolle eum? tolle!
oh - when you write my name
did I write my songs
what did I say at all?
say oh tell me with your heart
is it love at all
if I don't cry at all?
tell me if I'm wrong
tell me if I'm right
don't let me out of your sight
baby, I could be
sweet fantasy
if you just agree

I Know Who You Are
03:53
|

I was smoking money driving in my car
saw you out my window saw you look back hard
don't know where you're going don't know how to start
if I called you honey would I know who you are?
saw you in the bathroom entering the stall
club beats on around us club has beat us raw
I was in the bathroom you were in the stall
I never got your number but I know who you are
If I got some mary and you drove the car
riding like some ponies right into the dark
would you be my baby? would I be your star?
leather, denim, black boots should I know who you are?

Head Was Dead
04:51

lead me down
but don't go deep
I haven't dealt with this awake
when we said we're done - we're done
you know what that means
when I see you I'm torn at seams
lift me up just one more time
paint your face in calamine
I thought I'd be the one to
take it off
I thought I'd be the one to
show you off
won't you raise me from the dead?
all I wanted was in your head
let's get lit like gasoline
my ruby eyes can see between
the hesitant held-breath
I long to feel
what are we now?
how did it get ugly?
won't you raise me from the dead?
all I wanted was in your head
