Salt Marsh

    Fish crow
    Light rain 
    Wind blown
    Night shade

    King tide
    Wrack wake
    Sun bleached 
    Marsh scape

    I’ve been waiting for so long
    For someone like you
    Someone like you

    Warm Skin
    Stripped pine
    Curved oak
    Shark’s eye

    Bone yard
    Grass fire
    Worn road
    Tide line

    I’ve been waiting for so long
    For someone like you

    Hail storm
    Sand hills
    Salt marsh
    Spoonbill 

    Black mink
    Sea foam
    Drift wood
    Fading sun

    I’ve been waiting for so long
    For someone like…

Don’t Leave Me Crying

    I see you have been waiting here
    For a long long time
    Looking towards the past
    Hoping, it’s the future that you’ll find
    You’re Saying you that you missed 
    The innocence you’ve known
    It’s like wishing there are things
    That you hadn’t been shown

    You say you’ve been getting bored
    You need something to do
    I say, I know what you mean
    I feel that way too
    And then you say that I missed the point
    I’m not sure that that’s true
    Because you are me
    And I am you

    So, don’t leave me crying
    My heart
    Running out of my hands
    For love
    That should mine
    For love
    That should be mine

    I know that I’ll…
    I’ll be home soon
    I can feel it in my bones
    In the pull of the moon 
    And we became strangers 
    So carelessly 
    I was looking for you
    And I lost sight of me

    So, don’t leave me crying
    My heart
    Running out of my hands
    For a  love
    That should mine
    For love
    That should be mine

Twilight Creeping

    I know I said,  
    I would be right home
    And you are waiting for me there, you’re all alone…
    Twilight creeping

    I’m standing here, and thinking about the plan
    Right now,   I still know just who I am
    Twilights creeping

    I still see, exactly where I’ve been
    Which doors to lock, and which to leave open 
    But twilight’s creeping

    The air is still, a rustle in the leaves
    The tilt before the fall, and then the wings
    Twilight creeping

    I know that I said that I was coming home
    And you’re waiting for me there, you’re on your own

I Know Who I Am

    I know who I am
    I’m brittle and honest
    Before we began
    I made a promise

    To do what I can
    To know what you’re facing
    Filling holes left behind
    With space I’m erasing

    To read between lines
    With light that is fading
    The meaning behind
    the games that we’re playing

    To show what I can
    And not care what your taking
    The roots buried deep,
    Leaves bent and shaking

    One breath cues the line
    The rest is for sorting
    The truths from the lies
    And the pain they’re escorting

    The rhythm belies
    What waits behind the curtain
    But if you look in my eyes
    You’ll know for certain

    The problem with past
    And those who adore you
    Is the ‘it’ never lasts
    And wilts right before you

    I’m sure you know the rest
    Come on, let’s be honest
    It’s always been a test
    the answer’s upon us 

    Your the only one I know
    Who won’t leave the light on
    So if opposites attract
    I found the right one 

That’s How It Goes Around

    Sometimes your up
    Sometimes your down
    Your feet in the air
    Your head on the ground

    Some folks are rich 
    Some folks are poor
    Some people don’t
    Give a damn anymore

    Some say it’s big
    Some say it’s small
    Some say it didn’t 
    Happen at all

    Went to the mount
    Climbed to the top
    Slipped off the edge
    And I didn’t stop

    Maybe you haven’t been,
    What you want to be
    Haven’t seen the things, 
    That you hoped to see
    Haven’t felt the thing, 
    That they call free
    Let it go, let it go

    Standing on the shoulders of history
    Chasing all the stories of your destiny
    Wondering why it always ends in mystery
    But you make yourself, 
    You’re what you ought to be

It’s Alright

    I’ve been going through changes
    And I don’t know what I’ve done
    Life pulls and rearranges
    All that I’ve been counting on

    But it’s alright
    It’s alright

    I’ve been going through changes
    What was right once, now is wrong
    Things straightened, some in tangles
    Where’s the truth I relied upon 

    But it’s alright
    It’s alright

    I’ve been going through changes
    It’s the way its always been 
    new feelings, and exchanges
    Passing moments, distant friends

    And it’s alright
    It’s alright

    I’ve been going through changes
    But I don’t worry anymore
    I’ll just keep on turning pages
    What’s the next one have in store

    It’s alright
    I’m alright

Want Me, Call Me

    If you want me, call me
    If you want me, call me
    If you want me, call `me

    After a while of waiting around
    After a while

I Am Home

    One light 
    Coming down  
    Warm tears
    No sound

    River rocks
    Rolling tones
    Said again
    But never known

    Shadows cast
    Feathers flown
    Sparking flame
    Stars have shone

    Waters run
    Leaves roam
    Promises
    Coming home

    Light rain
    Shallow steam
    Night train
    Babbling stream

    Pretty hands
    Warming wood
    Swaying branch
    Where we stood

    Open book
    Turning page
    Shifting wind
    Changing age

    Silent dream
    Aching door
    Winding path
    Then no more
