Lost Girl

LYRICS
Tracing fingers on the glass
Let it come and watch it pass
There is solace in the wild
When everything's on fire
Sky of blue and silver hue
Swimming in the arc of view
From the bottom of the world
I am not a lost girl
I wish I could breathe under water
I wish I could breathe
I wish I could breathe under water
I wish I could
Then I’d know that I’m alive
Linger in the summer moon
Water falling carves a tune
At the dimming of the day
Sins are washed away
I wish I could breathe under water
I wish I could breathe
I wish I could breathe under water
I wish I could
Then I’d know that I’m alive
Then I’d know that I’m alive
Know for sure that I’m alive
If the earth can hold the water
Surely then I am its daughter
If there’s beauty in a pearl
I am not a lost girl
I wish I could breathe under water
I wish I could breathe
I wish I could breathe under water
I wish I could
Then I’d know that I’m alive
Then I’d know that I’m alive
Know for sure that I’m alive
Alive

Joy

LYRICS
Do you ever wonder what it’d be like to fly
Shed your limits and your limbs and take to the sky
Ever wonder what it’s like to let go of time
Let the light of love burn in your heart so bright
Come on, leave your troubles behind
Let me take you there
Let go, now is the time
Like weeds growing up through cracks in the sidewalk
Our better sentiments get lost in the crosstalk
Walk in time and sing out loud, everything will turn around
Horizons rise like steam up from the underground
Come on, leave your troubles behind
Let me take you there
Let go, now is the time
I can get you there
Believe and the sun will shine
Over the hill and down where the river flows
There’s a song in the wind and a flower that ever grows
So much joy, more than we’ve ever known
Joy
In the midst of a life that seems so wild
When you want to pull the blinds and stay inside
Look to what you know is right
Everything will be just fine
Kiss your fear goodbye and let your mind take flight
Come on, leave your troubles behind
I can get you there
Let go, now is the time
Let me take you there
Believe and the sun will shine
Over the hill and down where the river flows
There’s a song in the wind and a flower that ever grows
So much joy, more than we’ve ever known
Joy
Joy joy, let the river flow!

LYRICS
I wanna put all my dreams in you
And make you have the same dreams too
And when we find each other in them
We can hold hands
The beginning of love is a vibration
Rattling your bones
Spinning in your blood
And turning into relation
Am I recreating you
by filling in what isn't true
a blank slate in an empty room
Hey lover wheeeeere
Where lover heeeeeey
Hey lover wheeeeeeere
Have you been all my life
You are the prince I’ve been waiting to kiss me awake
It’s perfect this tide we’ll just ride with the light
‘cause when it shines just so, I can see your shadow
Let me trace in the places I want to be
And elevate it to a fantasy so treacherous and steep
I can feel you breathing, coursing and beating
I'll cry out til the music rings
and rest in inconsistencies
I gotta have you all to me
Hey lover wheeeeere
Where lover heeeeeey
Hey lover wheeeeeeere
Have you been all my life
I wanna put all my dreams in you
And make you have the same dreams too

Jealousy
03:23
|
|||
LYRICS
Jealousy starts a rumor
And it’s Greed that tells a lie
Time has got your number
Doesn’t wait for your reply
Bitterness is a mouthful
But a scream can tell you why
Who will you account for
When they look you in the eye
Sympathy lives without you
Tyranny lives within
Fear’s always about to
But floating means jumping in

Dust Bowl
03:34
|
|||
LYRICS
We parted from the hills and landed solid on the plain
The sky was blue as wide as eye could see
And the prairie grasses blew in the wind and in the rain
We knew the land was calling out our name
In the Spring of ’31, we would harvest in the sun
A job well done was its own prize
By the Fall of ’32, there was nothing we could do
They came like moving mountains in disguise
And the land was rearranged before our eyes
Dust to breathe and dust to eat; Dust to drink in when we sleep
Can hardly tell the darkness from the day
Like 2 midnights in a jug, the dusters barreled down on us
The only thing that we could do was wait
And hope our prayers would make it through to heaven’s gate.
With God we begged and bartered; What didn’t work we tried it harder
Tomorrow might be better than today
In the stillness laid between, we fixed our eyes and dreamed
And said “I’m sorry I cannot bring down the rain.
Maybe next year we’ll be on our feet again
Dust to breathe and dust to eat; Dust to drink in when we sleep
Can hardly tell the darkness from the day
Like 2 midnights in a jug, the dusters barreled down on us
The only thing that we could do was wait
And hope our prayers would make it through to heaven’s gate.

LYRICS
Let us bring healing where we can
Where you are broken, I will hold you up
Let us be offering our hand
Join our voices and we’ll overcome
It is for the good not to be silent
We are all reflections of ourselves
We cannot sit by and abide violence
Against anybody else
Let us be thinking of you now
As we’re drawing close who we hold dear
Let us be thankful for the time
For in a moment it could disappear
It is for the good not to be silent
We are all reflections of ourselves
We cannot sit by and abide violence
Against anybody else
Where did we go wrong?
Where do we go wrong?

Ça ira (Si vous voulez)

LYRICS
Ailleurs mais la-dedans
Je n’ai pas peur, mais j’en veux
Le ciel et la mer
Ne sont rien que l’envers
Si vous voulez, vous nous tenez
Ça ira Ça ira Ça ira
Si vous voulez vous nous tenez
Quand les autres nous amèneraient
Ça ira Ça ira Ça ira

Honest Man
03:25
|
|||
LYRICS
Meet me out at end of day
Ask the stars to light your way
As we become
Run we shall across the moor
Fast as horses and twice as sure
Until we’re gone
Make for me a thistle ring
And I’ll give to you an ancient riddle
Make of me an honest man
Bring to me a shattered bow
And I’ll make for you a painted arrow
Make of me an honest man
Meet me out at break of day
Tell the sun to light your way
Until we’re one

LYRICS
Oh I get to know you just so I can leave you
Ain’t that the way it’s always been?
Can’t help but control you know I’ll never please you Then we start around again
Oh I get to know you just so I can leave you
But I can’t even tell you when
Can’t help but let go you know I’ll never keep you Yeah we’re holding on ‘til then
And I could never change it though you would arrange it Just the way I want you to
Oh it would be a shame and I would be to blame
And that’s why I’m leaving you.
