Zephyr
04:37
|

Blue is the color of comfort
Blue is the color of goodbyes
Blue is the color we give sadness
And blue is where the ocean meets the sky
Silver are the waves under the sunlight
Silver are the constellation stars
Silver is the point to steer your boat by
Where silver meets your forest colored eyes
And days have all dissolved into the fathoms
And Amphitrite swims under bow
And love is so much like the fairest weather
A zephyr wind is all that you need now
A zephyr wind is all that you need now
You taught me tying knots and hauling halyards
Showed me how to sail into the wind
The harmony between the land and water
Navigate the discord and make amends
And days have all dissolved into the fathoms
And Amphitrite swims under bow
And love is so much like the fairest weather
A zephyr wind is all that you need now
And days have all dissolved into the fathoms
The far horizon calling to you now
And love is so much like the fairest weather
A zephyr wind is what you have become
A zephyr wind is what you have become
Blue is color of comfort
Blue is the color of goodbyes

Return to Sender
03:45
|
|||
|
You have to care to understand
Broken hearts, they never land
Always falling with no ground in sight
Searching for an island coast
A place to beach your weary boat
Betrayed by the tide that pulls you cold and discouraged
Just put your heart back in the box
And write "return to sender"
You can find a new one
When your mind comes back around
When your mind comes back around
It helps to think in metaphor
To see the windows as the door
But either one works well to make your escape
Do you see yourself as a ghost
Killed by the ones we love the most
Even your shadow knows you've done it to yourself
Just put your heart back in the box
And write "return to sender"
You can find a new one
When your mind comes back around
When your mind comes back
It's so hard
And it hurts
The pain is always at it's worst
When you need
Getting over it
Just put your heart back in the box
And write "return to sender"
You can find a new one
Just put your heart back in the box
And write "return to sender"
You can find a new one
When your mind comes back around
When your mind comes back
When your mind comes back around
Again.

Minor Stone
03:43
|
|||
|
I've lived in Colorado
A mile in the sky
They're searching for their solitude there
And dozing the mountains down
I drove to California
Looking for some friends
Where everyone loves everyone
And everyone pretends
And it's a lonely road
Round this minor stone
That I call my home everyday
I heard London calling
And flew their on a plane
Big Smoke ditched compassion
Now it's flowing out the Thames
I found myself in Capetown
Where the wells have all run dry
They offered me their last canteen
But it was no use while I cried
And it's a lonely road
Round this minor stone
That I call my home everyday
And if you defend your heart
They will take your world apart
It's a fowl empty heart that cheats fair play
And it's a lonely road
Round this minor stone
That I call my home everyday
Just looking for a change of heart
From those who tear this world apart
As the blues and greens we need all turn to gray
And it's lonely road
Round this minor stone
That I call my home everyday
And it's a lonely road
Round this minor stone
That I call my home everyday

Life Goes On
03:37
|
|||
|
Life goes on
When the creamer has gone spoiled
When the coffee's over-boiled
Sugar spilling on the floor
Life goes on
When the rain is pouring down
The day you wear your wedding gown
And the parson missed his train
What could go wrong
With such perfect expectations?
The only bond is they won't turn out the way you'd planned
Doo doo doo doo...
Life goes on
When your heart has fallen down
When the jester steals your crown
And kicks you out of your own town
Life goes on until your body breaks and then
Attempts to come to life again
But forgets some parts to send
What could go wrong
With such perfect expectations?
The only bond is it won't work out
What could go wrong
Believing we can change this
Holy march of father time
Vinegar back to wine
Doo doo doo doo...
Life goes on
Until it doesn't anymore
Sailing out that open door
Hope you find that better shore

Don't Call it Magic
03:30
|
|||
|
Secrets that I've kept all to myself
I could never tell anyone else
These are hard things to believe in
Sometimes I can see beyond the edge
Now and then 10 days ahead
Seems I always know what's coming
But don't call it magic
Don't say it cannot be explained
Don't call it magic
If the one you love is magic, all the same
Jumping from a rooftop
It's a new moon dark that hides me
And the streetlights won't ignite me
If I'm flying high enough
Secrets that you've kept all to yourself
About your struggle, about your health
And I'm a fool who wonders why I couldn't see this coming
So don't call it magic
Don't say it cannot be explained
When the one you love is magic
The gift we had, it was ideal
The look you give me, the way you feel
Don't call it magic, call it real
But don't call it magic
Don't say it cannot be explained
Don't call it magic
If the one you love is magic
Don't call it magic
Don't say it cannot be explained
Don't call it magic
If the one you love is magic

Solitary Earth
04:10
|
|||
|
How many years have we been away?
We left when the cities were covered in flames
The last of the missiles were crossing the skies
Rockets for teeth, and flash burns for eyes.
How many ages did we search out in space,
For water and air, and a rock to embrace?
But lightyears were empty out between all the stars
After searching so long and roaming so far
So what is it worth,
This solitary Earth, Earth?
Landing in green hills we opened the doors
No sign could be seen of our ancestors before
Just forest as far as the eyes could believe
And the absence of humans for a thousand years
So what is it worth
This solitary Earth, Earth?
The water the trees and the stone
The blood and the muscle and bone
So what is it worth
This solitary Earth, Earth?

Luminism
04:13
|
|||
|
We found the land in luminism
Up here on this hill
Absorbing Summer colors
With moody eyes to fill
A gift to make you happy
Jonquil in your bouquet
And as I learn to paint you
I get out of my own way
I get out of my own way
Ooooo....
We waited for the fireflies
To spark along trees
We settled in the long grass
That put our minds to ease
We searched the sky for planets
That wheeled above our heads
Weighed in about the cosmos
Until words could not express
Until the words could not express
yeah

Forever Home
04:24
|

Memories
Recalling love and all your better days with me
When relating was a journey to the harbor’s edge
To watch the ships come in.
Now the weather’s changed
And I can only speak and hope you hear me now
I’m not sure what kept me from the words I’d say
I still wish I could explain
But you’re not here
You’ve sailed on
You’re out to sea
And forever home
Forever home
Below a star
A sail where the ocean meets the far off sky
Storms that tried to knock you down and make you cry
They’re all behind you now
`Cause you’re not here
You’re sailing on
You’re out to sea
And forever home
Beyond our reach
Beyond the sound
Too far to see
But not to love
Forever home
Bridge:
A looking glass
To watch over everyone
Call up a zephyr
With the sea birds in the sun
And turn the stars
To the course that steers us home
`Cause you’re not here
You’re sailing on
You’re out to sea
And forever home
Beyond our reach
Beyond the sound
Too far to see
But not to love
Forever home

Blandford
04:51
|
|||
|
This is our space
Where we meet face to face
In the smell of the lilacs in Springtime
A return to the realm of the divine
In this overdue dance
We’re increasing the chance
A hummingbird might show us her wingspan
As she lands in the palm of your left hand, yeah
This is our place
Healing our pains
In the smell of a warm Summer rain
Feeling brave as bear once again
From the bench by the pond
And the meadow beyond
See that hummingbird is making her rounds
And she never even touches the ground
Of Blandford
This is our time
It was lonesome to find
The smell of the sweet autumn leaves
When you had other places with needs
I remember that day
I went, but you had to stay
So I called you from the old owl cage
But the owl had nothing say
From Blandford
Bridge:
A turn in the trail,
And a bridge with a rail
Where I carved our initials last year
And there’s a bend in the stream
Where we keep all our dreams
That we share every time we come here
To Blandford
This is our life
And you are my wife
And the smell of pinewood smoke’s in the air
The sun is setting but we really don't care
So many miles to go on this path in the snow
And your snowshoes are still under your chair
But we always find our way there
To Blandford
To Blandford
To Blandford
(Rays of sunlight come down through the trees, and something comes alive between you and me).
