Song One
He swallowed all the sound he could hear and become very loud
He swallowed all the sound he could hear and become very loud
He swallowed all the sound he could hear and no one could
hear him talking
only walking
I hear him talking
slowly walking along
And so it all began with a song
like it always will begin with a song
so it began with a song we can all hum along
them walking
slowly talking
I hear him sighing
forever dying sounds
all is poured and you have wept now the dwells are empty
all the stories that you've kept in the end get quiet

She Is So Small

She is so small
She is so small
a size of an apple
he is so tall
impossible for her to call
and they will never meet
'cause she is way too small to be seen and his eyes are so high
that they will be only looking up the sky
when rain falls down
she is about to drown
because just before sunset
his eyes got a little wet
but she knew how to swim
and when the day was done she forgave everything
and she is just so small
that she could not drown at all
She is so small
a size of an apple
he is so tall
impossible for her to call
and they will never meet
'cause she is way too small to be seen and his eyes are so high
that they will be only looking up the sky
He is so tall and she is so small
He is so tall and she is so small
He is so tall and she is so small
that's all

All the things you are

All the things you are
All the streets running down
every one I know running slow
this town
swaying around
higher skies, softer tones
no one's asking why
and all the things you are, you are
all the things you are, you are
all the things you are,
you are waiting for
everyone you know to be a shore
you read all my secrets
that I wrote down for you to be found
and all the things you are, you are
all the things you are, you are
all the things you are, you are
there was a place with a different pace
where woods would hear my songs and softly hum along
all the things you are you are

Boulder thicket
I'm not the one to tell you which way you should go
I can only talk in precent tenses
you know
this town is a maze where streets begin
and end to a one place
let them begin let them end
go and tell to all the trees
I have let my hart at ease
loose myself among the pines forever standing feet by feet
the trunks will only touch each other falling down

No Man Is An Island
Train needs tracks as I need dreams sailboats will sink without the wind
a hand needs something to hold on to cat needs a lap to cuddle in
a mouth needs tails
an answer needs a question
eyes require scenery
a boot needs avenues
the night waits for the morning
I travelled far to meet all my tomorrows
only one greeting me was my past
running away from all the sorrow
I travelled far and I travelled fast
too much of everything
enough of nothing
I stand still as the rivers flow by
In the middle of it all I forgot to ask why
I travelled far to meet all my tomorrows
only one greeting me was my past
running away from all the sorrow
I travelled far and I travelled fast
I travelled far to meet all my tomorrows
only one greeting me was my past
if world is a painting painted with colors
if there is a question the answer is la la la la la love
no man is an island, no man is an island

Where songs are spoken

Where Songs Are Spoken
When I was small I didn't speak
everything was mine to
keep gray and green
and all that falls between
walking down into the woods
trees protecting like a roof
rainwater walls,
a room where I stay
come to where I play, come to where I play
where songs are spoken
by the pines I learned to sing
I told the stones everything
about my shore
someone always waits
I heard them chop the forest down
and built a tunnel underground
for everyone
with the speed of light
come to where I play, come to where I play
where songs are spoken

If I Was Rain

If I Was Rain
If I was rain
imagine all the traveling
always somewhere
pouring down
imagine me
as a tree
standing still in the valley
all my ten feet deep down
underground
if you're a leaf
falling from an oak above
I would catch you
and keep safe
but you are more
like a boat
sailing all the seven seas
and I must let you sail away
sail away
I'll be waiting home
I'll be waiting home
don't you drown

Tripper
Thousand of swans wingstrokes
hanging from the sky down low
the light embellished everything
to an eternal eve
the wind walked in to the town
the trees were raining gold
that stayed on the lawn
to wait for the spring
you're closer home
than you ever dared to desire to be
the time stopped
right where you were standing
a wild horse gambols by
she'll set the road on fire again
something has been broken in between these hands
something has been broken in between these hands
supreme leap to the unsung re-reformed plans

Lonely As Alone Can Be

Lonely As Alone Can Be
Lonely as alone can be I am full of vacancy
Lonely as alone can be I am full of vacancy
Lonely as alone can be
I knew how to give but not to receive
Lonely as alone can be
I am full of empty sounds laying around
Lonely as alone can be I stay waiting

There Should Be Cake

There should be cake
I'm glad that you could make it
Your jacket, let me take it
I'm happy you came over
I know it's really late
Remember what you asked me?
I know it won't be easy
But maybe we can plan this
together while we wait
I want there to be music and fireworks exploding
I want there to be ice cream and bonfires by the lake
I think there should be dancing and somersaults and singing
And people should go fishing And yes, there should be cake!
Well, you don't wanna hear this
I know that we both fear this
But we could make it lighter
I feel that we should try
Let's rise to this occasion
and have a celebration
Of life and what comes after
Well, you know...when I die
I know there will be crying But tears are only water
So promise me a party 'Cause no one wants a wake
And fill the air with trumpets And make it feel like summer
Forget about the eulogy, but make sure there is cake!
Wear your best dress as you dance through the night
No need for you to feel low
Lightly step back from the tunnel of light
Laugh as you're letting me go
I want there to be music and fireworks exploding
I want there to be ice cream and bonfires by the lake
I think there should be dancing and somersaults and singing
and people should go fishing and yes, there should be cake!
