To The Birds
04:34
|

I promise to listen to you
Like I listen to the birds
Never a note out of place
Only wonder
I promise to listen to you
I will walk by your side
Like I walk in the wilderness
Every step a prayer
Full of wonder
I will walk by your side
Oh, you are the one I’ve waited for
My greatest love
Waiting inside me all along
Just beyond the open door
I know your heart can be a storm
Light and shadow, changing skies
So when I look to you
And hear your thunder
I’ll listen like I listen
To the birds
Oh, love

Leaving
02:46
|
|||
The rose-colored lenses of leaving
Altering my view
Every morning a sunrise
At dusk a brand new moon
I see my future in strangers
A rose that’s yet to bloom
I see a home, love and family
Oh could it be you?
I’m leaving
Leaving
I swallowed a rose for the keeping
Petal, thorn and root
I swallowed the rose of my leaving
And sing it now for you

Dive In
02:53
|
|||
Dive in, dive in
The water’s cold, the water’s cold
I know, I know
What you hold
You carry such a heavy load
Climb on, climb on
The summit’s near, the summit’s near
Look out, look out
Across the air
He’s close, you can feel him there
Dive in
Dive in
Dive in
Dive in

Forgiveness
03:27
|
|||
I heard the other day that your father died
I hadn’t thought of him in quite some time
But I’ve thought of you every once in a while, now
You’re on mind
Where are you living now, is it far from home?
Have you found yourself another love to call your own?
Does she hold you close when the grief is strong, now
You’re on my mind
Old love
New forgiveness
I recall the days we spent in the Alaskan cold
Your father standing at the bow of that little boat
The rise and the fall and his eyes all aglow, now
You’re on my mind

Tight Shut
03:37
|
|||
I am old and young again
Half and whole
And empty space
To breathe into
Have I struck gold in the coming down?
Or none at all
Just a fool’s trust
In song and sound
Oh your love, like the morning dew
Green and gold
When the sun shines through
I have built a wall
It burns red hot
Every time I keep my heart
Tight shut

Undoing
03:16
|
|||
Ten years ago
How could I have known
That you would be my undoing?
All the ropes you pulled
Burned the hope I held
And you would be my undoing
Masquerade
Master, manipulate
Fault or fate?
Ten years ago
You would be my undoing

Circle/Free
03:29
|
|||
Pen to paper
Pull it round
Pull it round
Lines and letters
Black and white
Make no sound
Sound
Sound
They drew a circle
In your heart
In your heart
Left it open
To the light
And the dark
The dark
When love goes
You’ll lay down the stones
Along they line they pulled
The circle now a hole
Build a well
And cover it with moss
Softening the loss
Close the circle
With your pen
With your pen
Let the ink dry
Black and white
In the end
And pull the water
From the well
Cool and clear
You’ll wash until
You’re free
You’re free

Lost
05:05
|

Lost, lost
Feather in a storm
The collared dove her home
Feather in a storm
Lost
Lost, lost
The collared dove she calls
Her early morning song
The collared dove she calls
Lost
Lost, lost
The morning comes again
Another day begins
The morning comes again
Lost
Lost, lost
Today I walk alone
Find a feather on the ground
Today I walk alone
Lost
Lost, lost
Feather in a storm
The collared dove her home
Feather in a storm
Lost
