strong as rushing water
plunging from the falls
soars through air
turns to mist
and covers
me
cool and sweet
wherever i stand

Is that You
Where are you?
Just pain to hold
I look everywhere
eager light
Stole the stars
Put them in her apron
Where are you?
Just pain and bone
I look everywhere
the new day
Hides the stars
Put them in her purse
Where are you?
Just pain and cold
I look everywhere
morning sun
Swallowed the stars
Put them in her heart
Keep them for me
Sorry. I’ll keep searching
Just pain to hold
I look everywhere
eager light
Stole the stars
Put them in her apron
Where are you?
Just pain and bone
I look everywhere
the new day
Hides the stars
Put them in her purse
Where are you?
Just pain and cold
I look everywhere
morning sun
Swallowed the stars
Put them in her heart
Keep them for me
Sorry. I’ll keep searching

Go
Don’t kill me slow
Make it swift
One clean sweep
With a machete
Don’t kill me slow
Make it quick
Shot through the heart
Point blank
Don’t kill me slow
Cause I’ll kill you first
Swing a bat
Watch it burst
Don’t kill me slow
Just go
Sorry to be so demanding
Make it swift
One clean sweep
With a machete
Don’t kill me slow
Make it quick
Shot through the heart
Point blank
Don’t kill me slow
Cause I’ll kill you first
Swing a bat
Watch it burst
Don’t kill me slow
Just go
Sorry to be so demanding

Taking Your Time
She was skipping all the way
Kicking rocks and hunting bugs
Take the Long Way Home
All alone
Wandering feet
She was skipping all the way
Finding sticks to use as bats
Call Me the Breeze
Buzzing ears
Teases fear
She was skipping all the way
Looking for cloud-men with pirate patches
Early Morning Rain
Numbing pain
Covers heart
Sorry… should have called
Kicking rocks and hunting bugs
Take the Long Way Home
All alone
Wandering feet
She was skipping all the way
Finding sticks to use as bats
Call Me the Breeze
Buzzing ears
Teases fear
She was skipping all the way
Looking for cloud-men with pirate patches
Early Morning Rain
Numbing pain
Covers heart
Sorry… should have called

Taking Her Time
She was running all the way
can’t stop
can’t play
can’t yak
can’t stay
She was running all the way
no hello
no goodbye
jets for feet
she can fly
She was running all the way
cant stop
not today
not now
maybe May?
She was running all the way
can’t wave
no sir
legs are turbo
what a blur
Her lungs are strong
they won’t leak
lungs are strong
she’s not weak
breathe deep
her lungs are strong
she’s not weak
She was running all the way
can’t stop
can’t pay
leave some change
another day
She was running all the way
can’t smile
can’t frown
keep the map
she knows around
Her heart is mighty
it won’t burst
heart is mighty
doesn’t thirst
beats on
heart so mighty
I’m not wrong
sorry ... I was wrong
can’t stop
can’t play
can’t yak
can’t stay
She was running all the way
no hello
no goodbye
jets for feet
she can fly
She was running all the way
cant stop
not today
not now
maybe May?
She was running all the way
can’t wave
no sir
legs are turbo
what a blur
Her lungs are strong
they won’t leak
lungs are strong
she’s not weak
breathe deep
her lungs are strong
she’s not weak
She was running all the way
can’t stop
can’t pay
leave some change
another day
She was running all the way
can’t smile
can’t frown
keep the map
she knows around
Her heart is mighty
it won’t burst
heart is mighty
doesn’t thirst
beats on
heart so mighty
I’m not wrong
sorry ... I was wrong
