You kept me from falling
So many times I can’t remember
You kept me warm, darling
All through December
The more I review
Just that friend
Cannot keep you
From the bitter end
I thought I could fit you
Like a glove, like a scarf
The way you fit me
But there’s nothing to regret
But the pictures
I have to take down
You have far outgrown
A girl like me
I have to let you go
I have to let you go
If you ever were
My best friend
You’ve must see
I can’t take seeing
You with her
And not with me.
I can’t be the best friend
Precedence has been tuned
And I’d be driving home
A different pitch

bathers beach
little rabbit leaps
stop to catch its breath
four chambered love child
Of a sunny april day
Bather’s beach brings out peachy cheeks
Sitting with the muscles on the rocks by the sea
Avoid stepping on the cucumbers
or mixing souls into the tea
In Churchill’s garden smelling the roses
Hips with just a little sway
Making jam
Sweet strawberry jam
Eating in the air of where she'd walked
Like a tidal wave
In her own little
way
stop to catch its breath
four chambered love child
Of a sunny april day
Bather’s beach brings out peachy cheeks
Sitting with the muscles on the rocks by the sea
Avoid stepping on the cucumbers
or mixing souls into the tea
In Churchill’s garden smelling the roses
Hips with just a little sway
Making jam
Sweet strawberry jam
Eating in the air of where she'd walked
Like a tidal wave
In her own little
way

Shower Song No. 1
Can we weep
And never drown?
Can we bare
A lover's frown?
Can we fight
And not be wounded?
Can we hold on?
Can we hold on?
Why does science
Leave us speechless
And leave our souls
To wander on?
Can we speak
Without lying?
Can we walk
Without crawling?
Can we sing
With out a sound?
Can we be lost
And not be found?
Can we dance
Without the music?
Can we question
All the answers?
Can we run
Without falling?
Can we love
But really love?
Can we live
Without dying?
Can we hold on?
Can we hold on?
Can we hold on?
Can we hold on?
And never drown?
Can we bare
A lover's frown?
Can we fight
And not be wounded?
Can we hold on?
Can we hold on?
Why does science
Leave us speechless
And leave our souls
To wander on?
Can we speak
Without lying?
Can we walk
Without crawling?
Can we sing
With out a sound?
Can we be lost
And not be found?
Can we dance
Without the music?
Can we question
All the answers?
Can we run
Without falling?
Can we love
But really love?
Can we live
Without dying?
Can we hold on?
Can we hold on?
Can we hold on?
Can we hold on?

Each new morning a delicate hour
To gather and release
The birds that bury themselves
in the cold stones
we’ll be home soon
making breakfast
drinking coffee
and heading out to offices
lost in occupations
stalled considerations
of what it would be like
if we never had to die
safe inhabitations
constant renumerations
weighing the cost of value
building homes
each new morning we wake
face the same
un bury the living
promising each other
we’ll be home soon
To gather and release
The birds that bury themselves
in the cold stones
we’ll be home soon
making breakfast
drinking coffee
and heading out to offices
lost in occupations
stalled considerations
of what it would be like
if we never had to die
safe inhabitations
constant renumerations
weighing the cost of value
building homes
each new morning we wake
face the same
un bury the living
promising each other
we’ll be home soon

The Deep End
It's like dreaming back the light
From yesterday
Seeing nothing in between the days
But the atmosphere
Can't we always be the same?
And never have to come here
The shallows and the deep end
Collide where the spaces fuse
Shut me out one minute more
And I won't ever be let in
Should you ever see the truth
The mind, the heart, the body
See the way you were held up
And friendship kept
Beyond corruption
Assimilations of desires
Guide us between the wires
Somewhere out of reality
Our souls wondered out of bounds
And they shall be aware
Throughout eternity
From yesterday
Seeing nothing in between the days
But the atmosphere
Can't we always be the same?
And never have to come here
The shallows and the deep end
Collide where the spaces fuse
Shut me out one minute more
And I won't ever be let in
Should you ever see the truth
The mind, the heart, the body
See the way you were held up
And friendship kept
Beyond corruption
Assimilations of desires
Guide us between the wires
Somewhere out of reality
Our souls wondered out of bounds
And they shall be aware
Throughout eternity

Rise Up/Fall Down
You’ve listened to them all
And you’ve followed every rule
But in life, no body wins (my dear)
Every story is lost
In so many other stories
Every song has flown
Away in the wind
Where can you begin
If at the beginning,
Starts the end?
Strength is measured
In so, so many ways
But nothing is stronger, my friend
Than dreams gone wrong
Rise up, rise up
Rise up with the sun
Fall down, fall down
Fall down with the sun
If the whole wide world
Expects nothing good from you
Throw everything back at them
But the Lord above
Wants nothing but you
So you give it back to Him
All diamonds, all the stars around you
Find Dreams from dreams from dreams undone
Fleeing unhappiness
When all the rules seem to lie
And gone is all mystery
And you just want sit and cry
Hold on to your dreams forever
Or they will die
And you’ve followed every rule
But in life, no body wins (my dear)
Every story is lost
In so many other stories
Every song has flown
Away in the wind
Where can you begin
If at the beginning,
Starts the end?
Strength is measured
In so, so many ways
But nothing is stronger, my friend
Than dreams gone wrong
Rise up, rise up
Rise up with the sun
Fall down, fall down
Fall down with the sun
If the whole wide world
Expects nothing good from you
Throw everything back at them
But the Lord above
Wants nothing but you
So you give it back to Him
All diamonds, all the stars around you
Find Dreams from dreams from dreams undone
Fleeing unhappiness
When all the rules seem to lie
And gone is all mystery
And you just want sit and cry
Hold on to your dreams forever
Or they will die
