Barefoot

If I had my way
I'd be barefoot every day
Feel the earth beneath my toes
I'd squish it down that's how it goes
I can tell you
With the sun upon my face
That's the power
That's the beauty and the grace
When the wind blows
I can feel it deep inside
All I need to be satisfied
With a heart full of love
I watch the city from above the hilltops of the East Bay
Put my hand against the sky
Ladybug fly by, by by by
I can tell you
With the sun upon my face
That's the power
That's the beauty and the grace
When the wind blows
I can feel it deep inside
All I need to be satisfied
Alone in the darkness
I step to the edge break down and cry
But that's when the clouds break
I can see clearly
Everything's right
Ain't no dispair gonna get me down
Cause I've got my faith I've got my ground
And I can see, I can see, everything's right
Winter comes Summer goes
It's a cycle season's flow, like the rivers in the mountains
I walk a path that takes me there,
I'll be barefoot everywhere, rain or sunshine I don't mind
I can tell you
With the sun upon my face
That's the power
That's the beauty and the grace
When the wind blows
I can feel it deep inside
All I need to be satisfied

Whiskey and Jellybeans

Whiskey and Jellybeans, red beets and rye
Staining my fingertips with bottles of wine
Architects of nature, the light through the green
Decoding everything with spaces between
One, two, three I'll come around
Infusing sounds with
Whispered intelligence pointing due West
You are my compass the one knows me best
Bright Constellations, a ship down below
Taken by sea storms well how did you know?
One, two, three I'll come around
Infusing sounds with
Copper and silver, a sip from my flask
Speaking with spirits and ghosts from my past.
One, two three I'll come around
Infusing sounds with
Copper and silver, a sip from my flask
Speaking with spirits and ghosts from my past

Wasteland
02:53
|

Spinning around in time
Teetering cross that line
Withering under the sun
What can I do when the day in done
Scanning this wasteland
Trying to understand
Recall the adage "to be"
You can get to me under the trees
Doing my best to expand
Beyond the reaches of man
Scanning this wasteland
Trying to understand
I saw and old man today
With that look in his eyes
Cuffed pants and rolled up sleeves
A smirk and he's waiting, waiting to die
Makes me want to cry
Scanning this wasteland
Trying to understand

I Want
04:33

When I think about all the things I want
I get overwhelmed with myself
Then I take a breath and I look around
And I can't deny the change
Taking the time to chase the shadows
Come around my soul every day
Riding on the wave of every woman
It takes my breath away
In the daylight hours I can't lie awake
Playing children's games with myself
When tomorrow comes it will be too late
I can't get off the shelf
Let the tears come through into innocence
When the hardest thing is to stay
Riding on the wave of every woman
It takes my breath away
Looking through the branches into the sun
Lights a sparkle in my eye
Watching sunset turn into fireligh
It makes me want to cry
Let the morning come and wash over me
When the time comes I can play
Riding on the wave of every woman
It takes my breath away
Takes my breath away
Takes my breath away
When I think about all the things I want
I get overwhelmed with myself
Then I take a breath and look around
And I can't deny the change

He will hit her on Tuesday in the afternoon
She can try to appease him but knows when he's loose
He can wander away from the one he knows is best
But he can't talk about her, he thinks that it's best
To try to be afraid
I can tell you what you want to hear
I think that everything is clear
You say that every time you want to be a man
One time it took away from you
Two times I wondered what you threw
It takes a mountain slide to try to get you down
He will talk to her Sunday, she tells him what she wants
She can't work in the bathtub, he wants her to talk
She tries everything she knows to get him on the line
And she screams at the picture of what she may find
He wants her to be his man
I can tell you what you want to hear
I think that everything is clear
You say that every time you want to be a man
One time it took away from you
Two times I wondered what you threw
It takes a mountain slide to try to get you down
He will talk to her Thursday, she tells him it's a game
He can try to appease her, but she's not the same
Wonder how it could happen, he doesn't know by now
But the people who want them are driving to town
The bags a re waiting to go down
I can tell you what you want to hear
I think that everything is clear
You say that every time you want to be a man
One time it took away from you
Two times I wondered what you threw
It takes a mountain slide to try to get you down

Eating watermelon thinking of you
Stuffed our faces and then laugh till we're blue
You were always an inspiration
You lit my heart with your smile
Lazy afternoons with Ella and John
Gettin' funky with the radio on
little girl you shook my world
You lit my heart with your style
Well, all you hoped to be
It melted into me
Angel eyes watching over me
Light and life shine through and set me free
Shooting star is falling, hear your siren calling
Light my soul with your fire
Well, all you hoped to be
It melted into me

Hanging out the window, I see them fade away
That's okay
Come a little closer, to drink a little rain
Quench my pain
But it's dry, I'm thirsty for time
Tasting my pride, I cried, I cried, I cried
I will not be afraid
Will not be Swayed, played, jaded
Out of time
Hanging on the clothesline, taken under siege
Flying free
Takin' every moment to see light of day
Come my way
But it's dry, I'm thirsty for time
Tasting my pride, I cried, I cried, I cried
I will not be afraid
Will not be swayed, played, jaded
Out of time

Gone

Who's gonna hold me when the rain comes
Who's gonna hold me when the wind blows high
Who's gonna hold me when the rain comes
Now he's gone, oh he's gone
I put my hand to my belly, feel the warmth from inside
And take two step to the windo, to watch the skies cry
Asking for a witness, something to hide the loneliness
Oh it's there, you can't deny
Who's gonna hold me when the rain comes
Who's gonna hold me when the wind blows high
Who's gonna hold me when the rain comes
Now he's gone, oh he's gone
Taking my chances
On raindrops and dances
Windchimes that twinkle
Among the light sprinkle
So what, he's gone, I'll carry on
And when the skies come to claim me, I'll answer their call
I'll hold my arms wide open to catch what may fall
Everything's a witness, helping embrace this gentleness
Who's gonna hold me when the rain comes
Who's gonna hold me when the wind blows high
Who's gonna hold me when the rain comes
Now he's gone, I'm moving on

Sleepy Eyes
04:52
|

Lights adrift are seeping through the mist
Sleepy eyes are heavy when I rise
Oh foggy day, chase away
All the fading memories, memories
Turning leaves are falling from the trees
Imprints of the softness from above
Oh I can hold myself, taste the wealth
That comes from fading memories, memories
Take too long
Then it's gone
I can't remember
Last December
But oh tonight
I'll get it right
I'll ask the moon
To help me find those memories
Even though I cannot see the snow
I know it's there to melt away my cares
Sinking softly in
Listening
For all the fading memories, memories

Winter

Who am I when I'm not with you
Sticky and sweet in the heat of the hour
Where am I when the night pulls through
shining with moon glow and black velvet shower
Tiny tips touching the gathering dew
Unroll your tongue now and drink from the well
Land of the ancients form wrinkles anew
Wind tunnel carries me back for a spell
Standing right here and it flew back to me
I thought it was gone but elusively near
Winter's a comin' tread delicately
Patience and prudence have nothing to fear
Oh seasons stay I'll while them away
I watch the tide as it rises
On this gentle wave I'll try not to stay
I want you to take me
Where to go when the heat comes on
Blurry my face with the trace of a smile
Sun will rise when the night is gone
Ache in my bones settle down for a while
Waiting for something to bring me to you
Tossing and twisting a body of sin
Dreaming of moments in purple and blue
A sound in the distance to catch on the wind
Oh seasons stay I'll while them away
I'll watch the tide as it rises
On this gentle wave I'll try not to stay
I want you to take me
Standing right here and it flew back to me
I thought it was gone but elusively near
Winter's a comin' tread delicately
Patience and prudence have nothing to fear

Winter time in Brooklyn with some California sun
Falling while I'm floating in a body full of love
Twinkling lights and talking low
Here and now we'll take it slow
Presence in the snow today
Watching all the children play
Days of endless laughter with some tunes in my ear
Loving and embracing the heart of art and tears
Join the world of the living with me
See the life it gives for free
Face the fears and come what may
All I want is here today
Joy joy joy
Joy joy joy
Joy joy joy
All the gifts you give to me
Watch 'em grow and let it be
Presence in the snow today
That's what all the wise men say
Oh what a way to be
Watching my heart run free
Unlocking waves of light and grey
Whispering love, love all the way
Joy joy joy
Joy joy joy
Joy joy joy
Windblown hair and sunburn stare with apples in your eyes
Drifting years without the tears we're bound to say goodbye
All the gifts you give to me
Watch 'em grow and let it be
Presence in the snow today
Watching all the children play
Presence in the snow today
That's what all the wise men say
Joy
