Nina

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

Coyote (Builds a Wall)
06:03
|
|||
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

Making Love on Eggshells
05:49
|
|||
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
