Sorrow

It’s not gonna last

But it is here

Don’t know what to grab

It all just disappears

Before it melts into my heart

I’m gonna get some paper towels

Be ready for a flood

And not get it in my lungs or bowels

And I know it ain’t too rational

But do I really know?

A new sorrow’s entered me

What to it do I owe?

I don’t want to lose it now I’ve gotten so far

Sorrow’s just passing by I know I’ll find a star

Don’t force me to be still just now I need to be a-movin’

Sorrow’s a friend of mine but it don’t need to move in

So this is why people flee away from their lives

Crawl into a ball and hope sorrow hasn’t sharpened its knives

It’s been weeks and months, that’s how it gets in your bones

Time knows how to dig marks as big as cherry stones

I don’t want to lose it now I’ve gotten so far

Sorrow’s just passing by I know I’ll find a star

Don’t force me to be still just now I need to be a-movin’

Sorrow’s a friend of mine but it don’t need to move in

Fine, I’ll sit and watch the tide no matter how teary-eyed

Ease off and let you stay knowing you’ll leave one day

I don’t want to lose it now I’ve gotten so far

Sorrow’s just passing by I know I’ll find a star

Don’t force me to be still just now I need to be a-movin’

Sorrow’s a friend of mine, but it don’t need to move in

Fare Thee Well

Sick of rolling punches

I’m ready for to fade

Bring back my hungry heart

And cease to wade

In wasted waters

Gon’ hold my breath and dive

Swim through uncharted straits

Open the gates

Tell the fates

I’m leaving town

Fare thee well

No more time to dwell

Gon’ trace my wishes, trace my truth

Grow my love, embrace my youth so

Fare thee well

I am changing every cell

Gon’ light my torch and really try

To find where it hurts and find out why

Needless to say

I’m restless and I’m torn

Between the life I lead

And the dreams I’ve worn

My mind’s in the corner

Sucking up the dust

Ambition’s a-bleeding

Crippling under rust

And I don’t know

Which one to trust

Fare thee well

No more time to dwell

Gon’ trace my wishes, trace my truth

Grow my love, embrace my youth so

Fare thee well

I am changing every cell 

Gon’ light my torch and really try

To find where it hurts and find out why 

Fare thee well

No more time to dwell

Gon’ trace my wishes, trace my truth

Grow my love, embrace my youth so

Fare thee well

I am raising hell

Gon’ light my torch and really try

To find where it hurts and find out why 

Straight Into My Arms

When the sweet peas bloom

You’ll know it’s time

In the light of the moon

You’ll for sure be mine

I won’t need no tricks

And I won’t need no charms

You’ll walk straight into my arms

When spring is on our side

You’ll teach me everything

I’ll recite the poetry

And honey you will sing

You won’t need another

And I won’t do no harm

You’ll walk straight into my arms

Needn’t sugar or sweets

Mini skirts out on the streets

I’ll draw patterns on your sheets

You’ll walk straight into my arms

Straight into my arms

I’ve learnt some lessons

Made room for many more

Sharpened my humor

And I’ve wiped the floor

I won’t be too stubborn

And I won’t be a bore

Hunny, you’ll only want more

Ï’ll never bleed or ache

I won’t ever bite my nails

I be the house, you be the snail

You’ve walked straight into my arms

Straight into my arms

Straight into my arms

When the sweet peas bloom

You’ll know it’s time

Come winters and storms

Come rain, come shine

The fruits of my labour 

Will grow on your farm

I’ve walked straight into your arms

Straight into your arms

Straight into your arms

Straight into your armsa

All You Do

Grew up on short notice

Longing for change

Born to be a great star

But it’s out of range

Oh you went far

To get where you are

Oh you went far

To find who you are

Used to ring on door bells

And run away

Once you got caught and

You couldn’t help but stay

Oh you’ve got guts, babe

And a heart of gold

Oh you’ve got guts

Never growing old

So don’t you fret

I’ll never let them

Take away your glow

What you’ve been through

What you outgrew

They will never know cus

All you do is smile, honey

We’ll make it last a while won’t we

Let’s turn this night into a life

No one’s ever matched your

Crazy or kind

Don’t think no one ever could

If they did they’d be out of line

Oh you’ve got something

That’s hard to steel

You got that something

When you keep it real

So don’t you fret

I’ll never let them

Take away your glow

What you’ve been through

What you outgrew

They will never know cus

All you do is smile, honey

We’ll make it last a while won’t we

Let’s turn this night into a life

Never thought I’d see you low

Too low to rise

Yet I’ve been lucky

I’ve seen your grins and I’ve seen your cries

I’ve seen you lose

Your temper and trust

I’ve seen your love

Turn into dust

All you do is smile, honey

We’ll make it last a while won’t we

Let’s turn this night into a life

Where all we do is dream and we

Don’t follow the stream, no darling

Let’s turn this night into a life

When it comes to Love

There is a tale I’ve heard them sing

It is blowing in the wind

Carried in the beak of a dove

When it comes to love

It only comes to you

My heart is beating through

My chest it will not rest

‘Til our love is tested through and through

So please don’t prove me wrong

This is where I must belong

Just as the morning wakes me up to see you go

I long for the days when we are old and life is slow

Beyond your gaze is a will I cannot touch

Once you’re gone I feel the pain of loving this much

When it comes to love

It only comes to you

My heart is leaking through

My dress it makes a mess

Of things, the joy it brings

The caressed wings

I’ve known it all along

This is where we both belong

Wind

I’m not one to give lessons

I never know which key I’m in

But I tend to ask questions

And live to see that truth will win

Why ask for permission

When you can ask for change

Whoever makes decisions 

It would be nice to rearrange

Some things

There’s a wind that keeps on blowing

And it's bound to take a hold

Forever wild it keeps on growing

As it whispers truths untold

Of gold and gravel

Pain and love

Singing up above

A fleeting touch

Bound to no law

Leaves me in awe

My sky is blue I know its colors

The sun comes up and goes and comes and goes again

In my dreams I see others

Neighbors and friends making amends

Making sense, making way

For those who don’t care and those who try

Is there even time to ask why

There’s a wind that keeps on blowing

And it's bound to take a hold

Forever wild it keeps on growing

As it whispers truths untold

Of gold and gravel

Pain and love

Singing up above

A fleeting touch

Bound to no law

Leaves me in awe

All I know is all I see

What else can there be?

A raging call, a hollow hall

A wide open field

Close to home is close to Earth

My heart’s what I’m worth

To worry is to yield

There’s a wind that keeps on blowing

And it’s bound to take a hold

Forever wild it keeps on growing

As it whispers truths untold

There’s a wind that keeps on blowing

And it's bound to take a hold

Forever wild it keeps on growing

As it whispers truths untold

Of gold and gravel

Pain and love

Singing up above

A fleeting touch

Bound to no law

Leaves me in awe

Eat your steel 

Drink your oil

Who needs air

Who needs soil

As I Am

I love you, baby

Like I’ve never done

I have accepted you

As the only one

When you are close to me

I feel my body tear

Explosions of vivid light

Everywhere

People have their charm

And they have their will

I’m full of something

Yet I’m starving still

So take me as I am

And I can grow for the better

Remember when my mourning comes and I’m astray

This was my warning for that very day

So take me as I am

And I can grow for the better

It could the rain from clouds

Or dew on grass

Honey dripping from the sun

And into my glass

My heart is the universe

And you live here too

Etched into my brain

And making it new 

So take me as I am

And I can change for the better 

Remember when my mourning comes and I’m astray

This was my warning for that very of day

So take me as I am

And I can grow for you

It wouldn’t matter if you broke my heart

I wouldn’t care if it went to shreds

I’ve waited my whole life for something this dear

It’s like I love you, baby, in a different sphere

So take me as I am

And we can grow to one

Going Home

I’m going home

Leaving some love that I need to get off my chest

My heart has grown

Along with my patience, along with my presence

My light has finally gotten that yellow shade that looks way more authentic

I’m not too bright and blue I’m changing hue just thinking of you

Going home is what I want to do

Coming home is what I found in you

So going home

Seems sensible with this overload

I’m suffering with exceeding love, truly I know what I am speaking of

I used to be unnecessarily beastly and now my spirit’s free

Going home is what I want to do

Coming home is what I found in you

Going home has never been easy

Now I know where it’s at

Coming home, I thought it’d take years

Well, I guess that it has

Going home is what I want to do

Coming home is what I found in you

I’m changing things

Leaving my greed, my heart’s on speed

I’m leaving the cold, I’m breaking the mold, my heart’s been sold to you

I chose to choose, I’m ready to lose if freedom is what they say it is

Going home has never been easy

Now I know where it’s at

Coming home, I thought it’d take years

Well, I guess the years flew by

Going home is what I want to do

Coming home is what I found in you

Going home is what I want to do

Coming home is what I found in you

It had to be You

It may not seem like much but I know this

My head and heart’s agreed since I was three

And nothing seems to bring me down

Nothing seems to make me frown

I’m who I’m to be

I’ve dreamt that I’m just half, been split in two

The feeling grew the more I lived without you

Before I even knew your grace

The feeling of a warm embrace

So distant, but close

And now it shows

That it had to be you

It had to be, it had to be

You

It had to be you

You came in hard and blew us both away

My head it killed my heart and drove it sadly astray

Couldn’t fully listen to it

Nor accept the fire in it

But my heart learnt to grow

And now I know

That it had to be you

It had to be, it had to be

You

It had to be you

I’ve been afraid that I might strike and hurt you bad

That my tongue be the blade that cut you deepest

But nothing seems to hold me back

You lay low as I attack

With your heart of steel

It taught me to feel

And it had to be you

It had to be, it had to be

You

It had to be you
