Strawberry Morning

strawberry morning
I go out walking
the fading of autumn
reminds me of something
losing our daylight
to the blue of the evening
why does it always
remind me of something
and why do I hide from it
yet I’m drawn to it
the comfort of laughter
when we’re together
why does it always
remind me of someone
the way that I miss you
when I’m not with you
why does it always
remind me of something
and why do I hide from it
yet I’m drawn to it
what is this ache that I feel
in the pit of my soul
I must need you more than I know
a voice in the hallway
calling my name
why does it always
remind me of something

People Are Tender
04:49
|

people are tender
though they might just seem hard
our shields and protection
guard our tender little hearts
so seldom do we even see
the fabric that we’re made of
yeah we fumble for some simile
it’s like we’re blind doing our make up
and I’m always wanting to seem clever
I wonder what that means I’m hiding
have me check my humor at the door
and make me swear that I’m not lying
people are tender
though they might just feel rough
behind our cold wallllllllls
is where we keep the soft stuff
when life seems like it’s bent to break
and when the heavens all are darkened
when the sandbags can’t keep the flooding out
when the rain starts raining hardest
grab my hand and say “I love you babe—
no flood or fire can keep us apart”
we’ll run the stairs and lock the door
and pray this house floats like an ark
people are tender…

Joanna
02:45

Joanna, oh I really love you girl
you’re such a sweet song in my mind
Joanna, whatever you need from me
I’ll be here walking right by your side
but if you’re alone
or if the raining makes you sad
don’t forget to look where your eyes can’t see
And if the sun won’t shine
and if the music doesn’t rhyme
keep on singing—
you’re gonna find that harmony
Joanna, oh I really love you girl
you’re such a sweet song in my mind
Joanna, some day you will leave from me
but don’t you know I’ll be right there when you call
if you’re alone
or if the raining makes you sad
don’t forget to look where your eyes can’t see
and if the sun won’t shine
and if the music doesn’t rhyme
keep on singing—
you’re gonna find that harmony

When It Falls Apart
03:53
|

when it falls apart
do you remember falling in
falling into love with him?
they say that love is blind
or maybe it’s just youth
never second-guessing
you shouldn’t have to
a breaking of the faith
now you can’t tell what’s real
with a cut this deep, how could it heal?
don’t blame you for hiding
don’t blame you for lying to yourself
just to get through for a while
and it feels like someone died
but won’t leave you alone
he left you in this house, but now where is home?
you thought, maybe we’ll move cities
maybe it was just a season
a season we can leave behind
don’t blame you for hiding
don’t blame you for lying to yourself
just to get through for a while
it’s alright
it’s alright
well you can’t change what happened
but you know you’ve still got me
it’s alright,
yeah it’s alright
oh baby you fell running
I’ll help you get up and keep going
it’s alright,
it’s alright
it might feel like starting over
but you know you’ve still got me
it’s alright,
yeah it’s alright
you know i’m here with you
when it falls apart
do you remember falling in
falling into love with him?

Nobody Wants to Be Poor
02:27
|
|||
see the rich in their houses
gold trim around every door
bite our lips in envy
cause nobody wants to be poor
yeah, nobody wants to be poor
heard the poet and his lady
are making love just to keep warm
singing “all you need is love”
but baby, nobody wants to be poor
no no, nobody wants to be poor
don’t measure your wealth in money
or get caught up in the great decay
if you’re folding or stacking
I hear it all turns to dust some day
I count my riches in a different way
I can swim in the ocean
hear my babies laugh from the shore
whether you’re counting houses or love
baby, nobody wants to be poor
no, nobody wants to be poor

Spring Creek

I’m getting out of town on Sunday
I need to go where I
can’t see or hear the sound
of tires on the highway
I’m gonna find me some clear water
a cool place to rest from summer’s heat
and remind me again
that life is full of green
but if you stay in the city
don’t forget to feed your mind
with something good
I’m getting out of town on Sunday
I need to breathe in deeply
and watch the sway
of trees that weren’t planted
swimming upstream from river otters
watch them dive down to the bottom
and let them suggest to me
that life is full of play
Adam and Eve
you and me
were meant to care for the garden, east of Eden
don’t wreck your mind
on that infinite grind
you’re meant for rest
rest
