please forgive me for the way that I love
if you tire tell me what you're thinking of
when the wind cuts and I'm shaken to the bone
let me hide among the grasses overgrown
to remember
let me remember, honey
help me remember
I am fragile too
these fears are nothing new
let me return to you
and wipe away the fog upon the glass
oh, these spirits pass
by and by when someone looks me in the eyes
I feel the heaviness upon my shoulders rise
if I could only hold the center very still
I'd hold it tightly when the waters shake my will
to remember
help me remember honey
let me remember
I am fragile too
these fears are nothing new
let me return to you
and wipe away the fog upon the glass
oh, these spirits pass

Red River

I've been biding for years
since I lifted up my face,
said I'm yours and it felt clear
so clean, so fast
water of my spirit pour quicksilver through the glass
on the banks of the red river
keep thinking I should move west again
my friend asked why,
the shape of it felt flat again
but I just can't seem to learn living here
how to find the line
know what's mine
own up to my fear
on the banks of the red river
all light knows the taste of midwinter
on the banks of the red river
I'll drive out to the red river one more time
so in love I thought the land was his
his highway spine
wherever I went
already coming home again
to the banks of the red river
all light knows the taste of midwinter
on the banks of the red river
I know it when it flows
I know, I know it when it flows
oh, I know it when it flows

Brambles

through that path
with berries and brambles and black flies
carry forth
to meet me there, uncombed hair, no disguise
draw near,
come in,
and speak of where you've been
speak of where you've been
reach out to anything
out the window
light does sink beneath that yonder hill
would you stay,
sing lullabies to our sighs
oil lamp on the sill
we'll stoke
a flame
and give our memories name
give our memories name
reach out to anything
when we wake
we'll rub our eyes wanting to see clear
don't shrink back
when shapes appear shrouded though they are near
we'll move
with grace
not knowing its true face
not knowing its true face
reach out to anything
eager wind
that rattles and removes all sheltering walls
pull me in
and push me forth towards your beckoning calls
I'll walk
the path
that ripples with your laugh
that ripples with your laugh
that ripples with your laugh

The Only Leak

riverbend I thank you
for all of the liberty
didn't know when I came home
that I was dreaming
night light attic room
pharaohs in a tomb
press the dam of time
and love is the only leak
love is the only leak
love is the only leak
thought I could see the end
but it was a double-bend
love can we just sleep
put away the books, put away the tea
oh these colours and shapes bring
hot summer tears to me
press the dam of time
and love is the only leak
love is the only leak
love is the only leak
press the dam of time
and love is the only leak
love is the only leak
love is the only leak
