I Know Love

Walk with me
Mama walk with me
for I know love
Walk with me
Mama walk with me
for I’ll give love
And I’ll hold your truth inside my bones
Yes I’ll hold your truth inside my bones
And I may never hear this song again
But you will always be standing where it lands
And I’ll hold your beauty in my hands
Yes I’ll hold your beauty in my hands
You’ve watched me for miles
You’ve loved me for miles
Oh walk with me, walk with me, walk with me
I’m your child
Walk with me, walk with me, walk with me
through my world
Oh walk with me
Mama walk with me for I know love
Walk with me
Mama walk with me for I’ll give love
And I’ll hold your truth inside my bones
Yes I’ll hold your truth inside my bones

Dream and Play
03:12
|
|||
|
I’m so glad she sees it in me
She smiles with every strange remark
and I get sad when folks hide behind what they had
but I’m the one that’s scared of the dark
To be like her is what you fear
and it will never disappear
but you grow stronger every day
I’m having trouble here alone
and I’d have told me if I’d known
We only dream and play
I got tired of feeling that way
It happens far less frequently now
I would hate when folks would say they can’t relate
but I was hating anyhow
It seems to me that this work may
just make us sing and dance and say
that we were better off this way
I’m having trouble here alone
and I’d have told me if I’d known
We only dream and play
They’re tall and narrow
the thoughts I used to have before I let go
They’re round and rainbow
the thoughts I’m thinking now

Sky
03:19
|
|||
|
You wasted your time
You wasted your time
Well I’m grappling with mine
But what about that sky?
You know it doesn’t lie
I knew it was the end
I couldn’t bare to pretend
I normally have a hand to lend
But what about that trend
helps me really mend?
what about that sky?
what about that sky?
Sat with her last night
what about that sky?
You wasted your time
You wasted your time
I threw my hands up to the desert sky
filled my hands with stars
placed them between your eyes
what about that sky?
what about that sky?
what about that sky?
what about that sky?

Slipping
02:53
|
|||
|
I feel it slipping away
my face is warm and the sky is gray
and although I’m still waiting
I’m anxiously waiting
you’re not a minute too late
I stare at you vacantly
It’s buried inside of me
And I come to your table
And it’s all on the table
But I’m too tired to eat

When We Were
03:10
|
|||
|
Tell me I’m dreaming
cuz this cannot be right
You’re still tangled up in my mind
but out of sight
Clarity, clarity
is a personal scheme
and you will take what you see
and leave me
I still hear you singing my name in silly songs
I’m still tangled up in your arms
all night long
You whispered and whispered to me
it would be alright
And all of my questions
don’t mean a thing
We were what we were when we were
We were what we were when we were

Your Freedom
03:47
|
|||
|
This moment we put forth
our willingness to repair
I will not bother to recover
the story that kept me under there
You told me that to love you
is to let you be
So I fed myself some songs
and let them wash the years out
so I could set you free
So take this butterfly kiss for the journey
Kiss my stomach full of butterflies
We can make these kisses with our eyes
how we shine
as we lay here side by side
You have a need for freedom
You wild thing
you say you want your freedom
you wild thing

Bid For Power
04:03
|
|||
|
Hold on honey
you’re still running from love
I lied to your face
I’m still hoping for another
bid for power
Cuz you know it’s dealer’s choice
and you know it’s almost time
to feel the hunger again
like you with your sugar
and me with my drinking
and I’ll try to make you laugh
cuz I know just what you’re thinking
And fear is never never never never never justified
Cheer up honey
It was not the most sensitive way
I’m still learning how to have more stake in what I say
and it’s a bid for power
And fear is never never never never never justified

Becoming
03:50
|
|||
|
Slow down, slow down
Rest your bones right next to mine
When this light captures you
Your wide-eyed grin
shoots up my spine
When we are captured we’re
becoming becoming to me
It’s time, time
It’s mighty pretty pace
On this cozy, endless night
It’s just sauce, it’s mild sauce
Mildly mending, covering the mundane
And it’s damn good medicine
And yet it foils discovering discovering
And man it’s looking pale in comparison
It’s time, time
You’ve got the tools and laws
It’s just a last hurrah
And I keep asking spirit on my nights out on the town
To sleep enough, to dream enough, to settle down
Yet even in my darkest times
I’ve been held by the light
I wanna give you hearty meals and real talk
It’s time, time
And I want you to see
Time, time,
I want you to see

Done Wrong
03:54
|
|||
|
I can’t do the same things
as when I was young
Yeah I been a fool for too long
I been a fool for so long
Your eyes tell me I have done wrong
I lost the answer in humility
I asked my baby to rewind
I gotta try to love you in your style
Or else the blind keeps leading the blind
I told you formally
I told you what I need but you denied me
Denied me
If it was a normal hour
I’d hope that you would bring flowers
I can’t do the same things
as when I was young
Yeah I been a fool for too long
I been a fool for so long
Your eyes tell me I have done wrong
To the wind I give my deep dissatisfaction
And this is how my righteousness remains
From time to time I stop swallowing softness
and this is how my consciousness complains
We’ll drive this up a hill
For another week or month or dollar bill
Until we flip back a page
and humbly replace this stage

Kyrie
03:54
|
|||
|
I once again was afraid
Eleison eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
With you I struggled with my truth
Cuz I could have told you more
More
You more
Last night you and I both betrayed
Eleison eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Were we the best that we could be
or was there a chance of more
More
Of more
Love of mine
Don’t give your heart too soon
Or you’ll end up singing the blues

Holy Mountain

Holy Mountain
Saw Your Secrets in my sleep
Wanna cross to the other side
Waking life of dreams
Rapture of the ocean
Heart Pounds with the waves
Wanna cross to the other side
She carries me away
I’m looking out
looking out
I’m looking out
and that high tide’s gonna take it away
high tide’s gonna take it away
high tide’s gonna take it away
high tide’s gonna take it away
