Here We Go

Take my name
And take my hand
Add me up
Take my meaning
What remains
Inside my mind
My blood reclaims
In my heart’s beating
At this moment in time
As we hang from the vine
our lives intertwined
We grow roots
We plant seeds
We pull weeds
So with the Earth we transpire
Stealing ash from the fire
Of lovers and liars
We give thanks to all things and the fruit that it brings
Here we go
You and me
Me and you
All the rest fades from view
Take my name
And take my heart
The soul exchange
In time is keeping
A lovers smile
Sings sweet the tune
The endless rhyme
In my heart’s beating
A love in bloom
Here we go
You and me
Me and you
All the rest fades from view

October Sky

Last night
At Half light
In a cool breeze
Reverie
The sun’s kiss
On your lips
Caught my eye
In a blind desire
I’m in love
Just like magic
With one look
I’m enchanted
Stars shine
Like sweet dreams
While cloud castle kingdoms
Tower endlessly
You feel the soft breeze
And the moon beams
It’s a symphony
If you can make believe
I look into your eyes
Into the October sky
I’m in love
Just like magic
With one look
I’m enchanted
This can go on and on
Until the break of dawn
I Look into your eyes
Into the October sky
Straight through my heart
You hypnotize
||: you’re Looking at me looking at you looking at me I’m looking at you looking at me looking at you :||

Hey Baby
05:06

This is only the start
From a smile to a spark
It’s just a dance in the dark
Is it the sound that shakes you?
Is it the light that breaks through?
Is it the time it takes you?
No
I don’t know
I don’t know who I am
or what you mean
I do not understand my own identity
It’s all so vague
And so opaque
Hey mama, tell me what’s my name.
Hey baby
Welcome to the dream baby.
Yeah baby
Anything you need baby
Check please
Welcome to reality
This is where you begin
We’re going to do it again
Let’s take the world for a spin
Is it the sound that shakes you?
Is it the light that breaks through?
Is it the time it takes you?
No
I don’t know
I don’t know where I am
Or where to be
I do not comprehend my own reality
So innocent
So intimate
Hey mama, what’s my name again?
Hey baby
Anything you need baby
Yeah baby
It’s a guarantee baby
Check please
Welcome to reality

Can This Be?
03:42
|
|||
|
You’re in a waiting room
Upon a distant planet
You feel the gravity
It is a common affliction
You have cup of tea
Straight from the nearest ocean
Poured down the rabbit hole
This is a conversation
Oh my god
Can this be
Tell me more
You hear the telephone
You ask simple question
What happened yesterday
To your best recollection?
Forget your shopping list
This is a piece of art
Another mystery
Without a revelation
Where is a man in charge?
There goes the neighbor’s dog
It lives on endlessly
Without determination
In my mind in my mind in my mind.
In my mind.
Oh my god
How can this be
Tell me more
[ Wade in the silence. Unearth the sources of your discontentment. Bow to your ego and redirect your energies. Be grateful and unfold. ]

Change of Heart
05:20

Heart beats
Freeze frame
All these pictures of the past
Secrets you can’t keep
A love that doesn’t last
When does nothing ever last?
Now love goes underground
Hearts turn when lovers doubt
Crushed, Beaten,Torn up, Broken
Hearts, Thorns, Longing, Unwanted
Crushed, Beaten, Torn up, Broken
Hearts, Lies, Longing, Forgotten
Now changes come around
Love turns this world around
Sunshine
New beats
You’re Dancing to the sound
Late Nights
The sweetest dream
The bright sky
Of a new day
Sheds a new light
While life moves on as we sing these silly songs
In the wind

The Map
03:34
|

|
Wake up
The past is right behind you
Better get with the act, man
Stand up
And walk the path that binds you
Better show some love
I strike a match to remind you
Within the space that defines you
There is a map that unites
In a world that divides you
Before the light escaped
In the eternal age
There is a breathe I take
For you
Hold up
and listen to the lesson
Time to swing with the ax, man
Step Back
Before you risk forgetting
You were good enough
In the age of reason
The sky, a distant ceiling
The ground, below repeating
And I never thought
That I would have that thought
But on the path I lost
I thought
I thought
I thought
I strike a match to remind you
Within the space that defines you
There is a map that unites
In a world that divides you
Before the light escaped
There was a sacred place
Between the wind and waves
In the eternal age
But then the world split open
And now the light shines on it

In a New Light

Free falling on a summer night
Soft rock, wings take flight
Free falling on a summer night
Soul searching in a vintage light
Doves cry
Soul searching in a vintage light
My love, swimming in the mystery
Cranked up, digging into history
Gave blood, tripping on the concrete
Hard luck, just another repeat
One heart, walking in the valley
Tight bind, smoking in the alley
One dove, living Minnesota
True love, wishing I could know ya
Road trippin on a summer day
Alt Rock, by the way
Road trippin on a summer day
Transmission
Lady resonates
Ga ga
Born this way
Transmission
Lady resonates
My love, swimming in the mystery
Cranked up, digging into history
Gave blood, tripping on the concrete
Hard luck, not another repeat
One heart, walking in the valley
Tight bind, smoking in the alley
One dove living Minnesota
True love, wishing I could know ya
In a new light
Head spinning
Tell me who’s to blame
Hard rock, crazy train
Head spinning
Tell me who’s to blame
Sky smiling on a cloudy day
Sweet sign, Play my ace
Sky smiling on a cloudy day

One Day

One day
You came to be
Your whole life
Plain to see
One day
You said goodbye
In the blink of an eye
One day
You gave to me
The key
In all of this time
In all that remains
Dreaming of tomorrow
Living for today
One day
You said to me
I love you
Can’t you see?

When the World is Dark
03:43
|

Look up at the sky
At the echo of your dreams
Hanging like a cloud
Find the answers that you need
Take a breath
Once again
Let’s begin
You step back to your life again
The future calls you’re at an end
But you’re never going to realize that
If you’re lying to your heart again
When the lights go out
When the world is dark
Do you know how to love
Do you know who you are
Light falls to the ground
As it dances through the trees
With the never ending sound
Surrounding everything
Take a breath
Once again
Let’s begin
You’re caught up in the past again
Thinking of tomorrows plans
While the present you just can’t ignore
Is the future of your hearts desire
When the lights go out
When the world is dark
Do you know how to love
Do you know who you are
If you’re searching for reason
Try the changing of seasons
There you’ll find deeper meaning
With the time in between them
When the lights go out
When the world is dark
Do you know how to love
Do you know who you are
When the lights go out
When the world is dark
When you know how to love
You know just who you are

Moments

What do you see? What do you see?
How do you know? Do you know? Do you know?
How does it go? Does it go? Does it go? Does it go?
Does it go on and on and on and on?
Are you stuck in the clouds?
Is living getting you down?
Do you like hanging around?
In the moments that have you
In the moments that carry you away
In time love will find you
You’ll see
Close your eyes for a moment and notice as shadows fill your eyes
The wonders that arise
Surrender surrounds giving way to the secrets of the mind
The spirit that resides
In the moments that have you
In the moments that carry you away
In time love will find you
You’ll see
Do you like goofing around?
Is your brain going to fall out?
Have you tried laughing out loud?
Have you been outside
I know a place you could hide
Look there’s a hole in the ground!
What do you see? What do you see?
What do you know? Do you know? Do you know?
How does it go? Does it go? Does it go?
In the moments that have you
In the moments that carry you away
In time they will guide you
You’ll see

Who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows? Only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose? Only time
Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies? Only time
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies? Only time
Who can say when the roads meet?
That love might be in your heart?
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart
Who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose? Only time
And who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows? Only time
Who knows? Only time
Who knows? Only time
