first my dog died and i barely cried
and now i’m scared that you’re gonna die
i don’t know if bad things come in threes
but maybe i'm the third one always following me
when my dog died
first she cried and if i cry
i'm scared you’re gonna die
please don’t die

i thought i found a reason
but I’ve forgot that song
when I stood under a tree, I think that pine
the branches long
i long for my old school yard
when all the world was small
if i could write a lullaby
you know id write them all
i'll sing with you in rounds
it's when I feel most tall
friend, i'll raise your voice
i'll raise a barn ill do it all
i thought i found a reason
that was 50 years ago
i fought thru famine climbed a mountain
i don’t want you to know

i swore i saw you
last night two times over
floating there in the middle
of the sound and dust light
i’ll try to be more giving with my words
this time
oh, and i miss you!
doing your makeup
early in the morning
mirror to you cheek
oh, and I miss you!!
singing with me
late in the night
a cuckoo bird sings
and we sang
where should i meet you tomorrow morning?
at the edge of the world?
before I have class ?
where should I leave you?
kicking at the top soil!?
somewhere you can wade to??!
I have to study …... ..

i said it once, i said it twice
i'll say it all again
how it felt so sound in me
the feeling of you growing up
and I’ll say I’m sorry till I have no breath to give
i will!
but you were there
tall and real
in the frame of the door
we talked til they all left
i blended in with the walls
i’ll be quiet till you have nothing else to say
i will!!
but here it is
the new year
i saw it in your glances
but I still sit in a chair
too nervous to talk to you
i'll stay
I’m sorry!
til I have no breath to give
I will!!!
but maybe still it was you
oh, i'll listen loudly
i'll grow up and you’ll grow up
and then we’ll fall quiet
then we’ll be quiet till there nothing else say
we will.

morning comes down
02:26
|

|
the thawing of the water
reminds me
to make room for the
sounds of spring
sleeping all my 12 hours
rest my eyes when the showers come down
sharing all my 12 hours
i won’t wake you up
when the morning comes down
i'll give you the spring this year
you won’t take it away, my dear
i'll give you the morning this year
it belongs to me, my dear

don’t remind me that i have to go to sleep tonight!
i’ll listen closely to the sounds outside the door at night
that’s how it feels when your time is in an hour glass and trapped in sand
thats how it feels you can’t keep up with your heart
you hear her running right outside of your door
keep me under
under wraps and under blankets in the room
speak to me softly
in the light from the lamp against the wall
that’s how it feels when your time is in an hour glass and trapped in sand
thats how it feels you can’t keep up with your heart
you hear her running right outside of your door
