Nina 04:47
Nina never expected this He holds a wind-resistant flame, and he stands his ground The only tree the cat couldn't climb and I'm losing my mind 'Cause he haunts my ears And he haunts my melodies like the ghost of a fly buzzing canopies around my head I wish he'd drop The motions of it All this fooling around 'Cause now he's telling lies And he follows me With the spirit of a dog Barking up the wrong tree And now I cannot get down I cannot get down 'Cause he tosses me around Recklessly I never hit the ground Nina, help me out here I have a soul with intentions quite like your own I never meant to fly So high And now I cannot get down No, I cannot get down 'Cause he tosses me around Recklessly I never hit the ground

How many dawns before you write words for me? Fool me into sleepless nights, prayin' that you'll be alright Because If there is no coyote here, you'll make sure there's no one anywhere An endless sky of solitude A picture book, a time No one hear will cry for me, but my heart is calling out for comfort Because No one knows like I do He builds a wall of heavy stone, no windows And no one loves like you do At all All I wanted was to wait Patiently outside your gate Until you heard me callin' In the scheme of things we dance and dodge the hunters In my ocean eyes we walk as distant lovers We live in a world of pretty light trying to find our way through hazy eyes All I wanted was to wait Patiently outside your gate Until you heard me callin' If there's no coyote here You'll make sure there's no one anywhere If there' s no coyote here You'll make sure there's nothing anywhere

Why did you leave your bones scattered? White chalk on my floor When I awoke in the hazy mourning doves laughing at my stumbling I tore them from my windowsill I buried the evidence in feathers I locked the door To stalk alone Through the memories I was searching sticky membranes for shy muses flaring sparks of inspiration Maybe forgiveness Maybe love Maybe it was nothing at all And oh, how sweet the air in reminiscence tastes of morning dew A mourning dove falls in love with winter's animosity Why did you leave your bones scattered? Why did you leave your bones? Why did you leave your bones scattered? Why did you leave your bones?

Quickly, come to the door We must whisper These birds have ears as big as their wings And they talk and twitter They chitter and chatter all day Swiftly, look over there Their nests are composed out of bones from the skeletons in their closets And they build their homes from their dreams that have rotted I don't supposed they'll understand What it means to be a daffodil What it's like to bloom in the snow Fragile, bare-breasted, and alone Quickly, hand me the keys Just leave me be The teeter-totter of the fence I've built myself to live on never tilts the same way twice Hush now, I don't need your advice The bell jar rings, and wraps me in strings of caddisfly silk I don't suppose they'll understand What it means to be a daffodil With the courage to bloom in the snow Fragile, bare-breasted, and alone

Lone Wolf 05:32
Paranoid and twisted Confused and mislead Oh, the poor child with the golden hair and sapphire eyes Born with a vengeance Through such resistance I have laid by his side The scars still burn like fire Born with the nightingale Hangin' off it's tale Always on the edge That man's gonna push me over Preaching damnation Cursing all of creation Oh, the poor child with the bleeding heart and fiery mind He says I know that you fear me So, it would not be fair of me To let you in He walks with the lone wolf Stalking slowly through my wood Howlin' at the moon He says I know that you love me So, stop thinkin' of me like I'm some high and mighty thing I know that you love me I know that you fear me And I know that you want me So, let me in

The Raven 05:17
You wade the same as yesterday The raven hasn't gone away It's perched atop your windowsill Shaking off it's dusty wings Crawling into your head The memory floats around the room A little hesitantly towards the door The melody moves on it's own and you cannot keep it quiet If you settle the piano keys Who will sing the room to sleep? You shot the beast a steady glare Ignoring her majestic heir Though she was dancing with the willow trees, tauntingly Singin', If you settle the piano keys Who will sing the room to sleep? Unaware the moon decides to shine The hourglass might steal the time The raven calls in haunting rhymes "Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore..." If you settle the piano keys, Who will sing the room to sleep When the day is done?

Long Trail 06:07
Can you hear the gypsy's music entrancing in your sleep To steal your heart away, and all your dearest friends with it Did you dream of mountain tops so high there was no word below you No hustling, bustling busy bees Oh, it does rain when it should shine Do you run out of time when you need it most? I once had a lover, she was a blossoming rose I once was a poet, painting lines with rhymes and prose I once was a dreamer, but everything withers when it grows Oh, it does rain when it should shine Do you run straight out of time when you need it most? Don't we all, Don't we always Wither when we grow
