Streetlights

All streetlights talk to my heart tonight saying it’s time to stop and go
Too long now the heart and crown have daydreamed of life
In another pair of shoes
But is it ugly, over rated, fake and complicated to step into a new groove
Escape from what is comfy cozy day to day
What do I have to prove
All our memories fade into the grey
With each step you walk away
Your silence fills the room and breaks me down
Do I hold you or do I let go?
But is it ugly over rate fake and complicated to step into new shoes
Escape from what is comfy cozy day to day
What do I have to prove

Little Seedling
03:20
|
|||
There’s a stillness in the sip between time and space
Hurry bustle along
Thoughts play like movies
Fast forwarding on and on
Little seedling you silently know
All the secrets of how to grow and go
Oh fear don’t stunt me when I’m near to tears
Love don’t leave me when my comfort disappears
(repeat)
oh oh oh
there’s a silence when light paints little rainbows on your face
backwards and forwards my heart wants to jump around
smooth constant wave you always know which way to go
wind blow it forward fast as you can
Oh fear don’t stunt me when I’m near to tears
Love don’t leave me when my comfort disappears
(repeat)
oh oh oh
it’s so easy to skip a breath or two
than to find a firm ground to build on to build on
broken mirror separate the dark from light
light shine clearer it’s time to wake up
it’s time to wake up
it’s time
to wake up
Oh fear don’t stunt me when I’m near to tears
Love don’t leave me when my comfort disappears
(repeat)
oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh

Glass of Comfort
03:43
|
|||
Pour me a glass or two
Of some comfort
Sip in a sigh and sink down
Fill me with love
From your mouth dear
Take me away don’t let go
Breathe in that dream
Of a touch dear
Feel my heart beat (scat)
Please can I have just one more moment here
Please can I have just one more moment here
Hold me once more a little closer
Hold me once more
Hold me once more a little closer
A little closer

Carry On

You Can
Carry
You Can
Carry (on)
Swaddled by your love from afar
You took it upon yourself
To carve a mold of care
Trailblazer you were
Voice raiser you stood
Strong
You can
Carry
You can
Carry (on)
Guarded by your infinite gaze
You took it upon yourself
To stand proud like a mother bear
Trailblazer you were
Voice raiser you stood
Strong
You can
Carry
You can
Carry (on)

Flutter
03:14
|
|||
Escaped from a cage with a lock dusty and forgotten
One look in your eyes revealed the key
Out they flew fluttering inside of me
This is how you move me
CHORUS
Oh it’s been a long time since smiles and daydreams sang constantly
Oh its been a long time yearning to touch your body
Un-phased by the storm raging inside of me
Waves dance to your graceful love
One breath at a time trying not to dive head first
This is how you move me
Chorus
Unsure of which door closes and which opens
How I long to kiss the right lips
This globe has been turned the glitter is shimmering
This is how you move me
Chorus x 2

Life Force
03:33
|
|||
Sometime a tree grows vastly high
Like an arrow
All life exists and the branches persist
Onwards, upwards, and outward
There are the few who cover the ground
Like wings
Pumping and flowing billowing and lowering
Protecting
It can be little or big it’s hard to forgive
When a chance was never given
Tall or small it’s hard to forgive
If you block the sun your roots harden
There are the ones who are so shy
They control their shape and size
Modest Stunning perfection
It can be little or big it’s hard to forgive
When a chance was never given
Tall or small it’s hard to forgive
If you block the sun your roots harden
Chorus
Doo de doo’s

Best Before
03:57

CHORUS:
Best Before
You go on
And close that door
It says
Best before
You turn your head my dear
Best before
It reads loud and clear
This expiration date is near
Written with the inconsistency
From the ink of my fear
Chorus
I melt into your embrace
As my fingers find your soft face
My head rests so perfectly on your chest
And I float with your breath
Chorus
A magpie holds onto what is precious
There comes a time when it’s harder to stay tight in a bud than to bloom
Stand guard against knowing that you know in this world
And just experience
Just experience
Pass the mic to your inner hearts whisper
Chorus
Best Before
