I don't know where I would go without love without love for life I don't know where I would go If I had no thing to love no I don't know where I would go if I had no thing to love and yet I find I'm tired of my promises I'm tired like my love affairs I didn't know if I would choke when faced with you again You're not an enemy just another me from long ago and yet I find I'm tired of complaining belittling and shaming who I used to be I don't know how I would cope without my winter coat through beach blues yellow sky hues I need someone to love to love I don't know who I would be if I lost time for the sea I threw my watch out because it just kept ticking at me

Lone Wolf 05:10
when the daylight had slipped away I came out from my cave and went to find the truth but on that night the moon was red and you shaved off your beard and slipped into the crowd the crowd of men I didn’t see you again the crowd of men I didn’t see you again and I know back in my old town where the streets are ground and the people they are birds i do not need not anyone I have my rising sun to look forward to there but out here in the city there’s a needy air and I can’t see the sun because its behind stone but I can see you ohh your eyes of blue oh oh hummingbird hum a song for me about what it means to be free I tried to go to yoga I did one sun salute but how this all was changing me I just could not compute I took walks in the country side I looked up at the sky and I could not help thinking just how small am I how many times have I tried not to be a lone wolf a lone wolf a lone wolf a lone wolf

does terror burn calories? does anyone know? though the campus I walked it was cold I thought it might snow were the others thinking the same as me? I’m not alive I’m in a strangers dream I only had one request I requested I could come next but my request was denied and I know that there’s no going back so I will go forward so far forward that you won’t know how I went so fast and you so slow so slow does terror burn calories? does anyone know? though the campus I walked I was short and you were tall

Honey Blue 03:35
my love is buying up another ounce he’s running out of patience too and he don’t wanna pay the power bill but I know I love him still I love him still another night resigned to watching him another night tipped down the drain I wanna fly away, I wanna go but I guess I’ll get him home I’ll get him home iris sits amongst her fellow plants i’d marry her if i had the chance i’d marry all the bees that sucked her too i’d kindly ask them make me honey blue the day has melted into evening now the sky has given up on blue my friends keep telling me that we should go but I can’t do that to you my honey blue my love is buying up another ounce i'm running out of patience too and though his tired eyes are looking red I know that they are blue that they are blue and I know I love him still I love him still yes I keep telling myself I love him still iris sits amongst her fellow plants i’d marry her if i had the chance i’d marry all the bees that sucked her too i’d kindly ask them make me honey blue i’d kindly ask them make me honey blue

when the sun beats down on its drum when the day sits down for rum I will go, back to the golden islands i will take, nothing but my time is this paradise looking back at me the rain culling men and the men culling trees I will not, hoe your weeds I will not, grow your seeds I will row, back to the golden islands I will know, no one but myself 'you don’t look the same' said he when he heard my name oh 'we don’t look alike just because we share a name' said I what else can we do, but to look out for the tune that binds together lives separated, by time? no he didn’t look like anyone that i had ever seen and she didn’t move like anyone that I had ever been

clouds are hanging in the sky I always wonder why with you and if life is just a lie then i should just lie down with you upon mountains everything is white-blue have you climbed the hill today watching out the window as a flock of water flows by in the morning when the dreams still hang around from last night upon mountains everything is white-blue have you climbed the hill today oh when zeus is singing I can see him in my tea cup clouds of milk, a cumulus I think that we should go up to the mountains where everything is white-blue have you had your pill today

Mud 03:46
like mud, like mud I wanna live, like mud waiting on love, like mud sleep in a new place each night like mud we are owned by love owned by the same killing drug swam to the shore, like mud I wanna feel the tug but it’s only gonna drag you under it’s only gonna drown you oh it’s only gonna give you wonder and a muse mud mud like mud, like mud I wanna live, like mud run from the law, like mud waiting on love, like mud but it’s only gonna drag you under it’s only gonna drown you it’s only gonna give you thunder when you wanted lightening oh it’s only gonna take your teeth out when you take a bite oh it’s only gonna leave you hungry at night mud mud like mud, like mud I wanna live, like mud waiting on love, like mud sleep in a new place each night like mud

Coriander 04:16
coriander was your only daughter holding the leg of a duck march 13th was malting season white feathers covered us after all the rain had fallen and the pond had overflowed coriander started growing where she’d never before grown out of the cracks in the road out of the patches of snow out of the house that we all called home i remember summer brittle finding horses on our way on a hill side when the sun beams were hitting on the hay coriander went to seed then and I picked off all her heads to put in jars on the windowsill scatter in the garden beds into the patches of snow into the cracks in the road into the house that we all called home into the patches of snow into the cracks in the road into the house that we all call home
