I had a dream that I drove off a cliff
Full speed through a hairpin
No fear, fool behind the wheel
In the light of day, I was on my way
I showed up to the banquet
Forgot my name, forgot why I came
The king and queen were incensed
Sent me away, start over again
To have a dream that I drove off a cliff
Full speed through a hairpin
No fear, fool behind the wheel
In the dead of night, I was doing alright
I showed up to a party
Forgot your name, we were all the same
Someone was singing their enlightenment:
No thought
No thought
No thought
No thought
No thought
No thought
Thought
Thought
Thought
Thought
Thought
Thought
Eating clocks
Eating bells
Drinking gold
Walking through hell
Sky-like mind
Sky-like mind
Sky-like mind
Sky-like mind

Sitting on the phone again talking with Lynn
Been at home so long now don’t know what day it is
The gardens have all overgrown
The bread recipes have grown old
Everyone’s so lonely but we won’t admit it
Reach for the phone again hurts to just sit
Hang another picture on the screen
For a moment feels good to be seen
Ask Lynn the question that’s been on my mind
Why’s it so hard to be human sometimes
She laughed and said stop all your crying
The answer’s not so hard to find
You need to make friends with your mind
Sit, wait
Sit, wait
Sit, wait
Sit, wait
It’s never as long as it has been
It’s never as long as it has been
Time will get the best of you if you let it
It’s never as long as it has been
Sit, wait
Sit, wait
Sit, wait
Sit, wait
It’s never as long as it has been
It’s never as long as it has been
Time will get the best of you if you let it
It’s never as long as it has been
Sit, wait
Sit, wait
Sit, wait
Sit, wait

Love Is Teasing

Oh love is teasing and love is pleasing
And love’s a treasure when first it’s new
But as love grows older so love grows colder
And fades away like the morning dew
I left my mother and I left my father
I left my brother and my sister too
I left my home and my fond relations
I left them all for the love of you
Now if I had known before I had parted
That love would be so hard to hold
I’d’ve locked my heart in a box of silver
And bound it fast with a key of gold
Oh love is teasing and love is pleasing
And love’s a treasure when first it’s new
But as love grows older so love grows colder
And fades away like the morning dew

I put your picture
On the wall in my room
Like some gilded talisman
Like you’d be coming home soon
But the image grew faded
You never walked through that door
It’s said that ghosts always find home
What the hell would they do that for
I know you never had it easy, babe
Restless kid in a one-street town
I never got to know you better than
Eleven years then you were gone
I wore your jacket
Around this cold northern town
So far from where I came
Would you even recognize me now
It fit around my swollen belly
Kept me warm winter through
In the summer she was born
She looks a lot like you
I know you never had it easy, Dad
Restless kid in a one-street town
I never got to know you better than
Eleven years then you were gone
But I’ve got your picture—

New Love Meditation

Are you ready for a new love
The kind of love to last all time
Stop your bitching
I swear I’ll try and stop mine
No matter how much we deny it
No one gets out of here alive
We get high on reaction
And then we crash and burn
It’s a painful distraction
You’d think by now we would’ve learned
Gotta find life before death
These moments can’t be returned
When I was younger I knew everything
But now I know a lot less
Ain’t it funny how that happens
How life can put us to the test
By the time you hear this song
I pray my ego’s laid to rest
And I hope when you hear this song
That these words find you well
May you know that you are loved
No matter if you’ve been through hell
You don’t have to find it out there
It’s always living in yourself
Alive and bright within yourself
Alive and bright within yourself
You don’t have to find it out there
It’s always living in yourself
So are you ready for a new love
The kind of love to last all time
Stop your complaining
I swear I’ll try and stop mine
Don’t wanna wait til we are dying—

Blue

Blue, the color of your lips
When we found you on the floor
And felt the whole world cave in
Pink, the color of your skin
When the EMTs arrived
And you came to again
I called your mother to come help me
She flew up the 95 corridor
Two days walking in the Philadelphia wet heat
The third day I wouldn’t see you no more
Black, the color of the night
I sat under a full moon
And lost all sense of time
Green, the color of the walls
I dreamed about you every night
You didn’t know you had gone
I dreamed about you every night
You didn’t know you had gone
I dreamed about you every night
You didn’t know you had gone
Called your mother to come help me
She flew up the 95 corridor
Two days walking in the Philadelphia wet heat
The third day I wouldn’t see you no more
I was 24

We snuck into Lucy Vincent Beach
You inside my belly, my sweet baby
Mazie, Mazie
I love you, I love you
The rocks disappeared
Thousands of years washed away
Mazie, Mazie
And now you’re here
Forty-one weeks, five long days
Mazie, Mazie
I love you, I love you
Mazie, Mazie, Mazie

Blackwater Side

One morning fair to take the air
Down by Blackwater side
’twas in gazing all around me
’twas the Irish lad I spied
All through the fore part of the night
Well we lay in sport and play
Then this young man, he arose, and he gathered his clothes
He said fare thee well today
Well that’s not the promise that you gave to me
When first you lay in my bed
You could make me believe with your lying tongue
That the sun rose in the west
Then go home go home to your father’s garden
You go home and weep your fill
And you think of your own misfortune
That you brought with your wanton will
For there’s not a girl in this whole wide world
As easily led as I
It’s fishes they’ll fly, and the seas run dry
Tis then he’ll marry I

Her voice, the vulnerability within, and a glorious sound, not overproduced but natural. 'Tender Heart' gets me - resonates in a way that is sad and glorious simultaneously. Discordant guitars behind a clean acoustic and voice ballad. Love her voice, her lyrics. Great album.
