Winter Song

It came like a storm
In the backyard where you were born
I've seen this all before
Running around and feeling worn
Do you think you've had enough?
Are you really giving up?
It's like that tornado spin
In the backyard near the hens
You're giving all you can
Why does that chard never stand?
And you think you're giving up?
Do you think you've had enough?
In the backyard where you live
I see it come back and forth
and I'm feeling like a kid
Loving each and every day
I'm singing songs again!
Feeling like I did before
I see it come again
It comes back and forth
Like a revolving door
I can't go back
to where I was before
I'll love you here
and forever know my name
Feeling it in little bursts again
Opened up the great wide world again
Something in that water that I drank
That makes me feel like I'm alive
In the most special way I'm here
I hope I don't let go of this I'm here
Somewhere close, and never again, I'm here
Something sweet in the berries
In the bush, by the yard
Where I loved the first time again
I'll open up my world again I swear
Feeling like a revolving door, I cry
I'd give it all to try again, I might
There's something in the great blue sky
That makes me feel like reaching out
and grabbing the whole world right in my eyes
Feeling it like superman in my life
Like the bionic kid, I found a reason to cry
There's nothing else I'd rather do
Than lay awake and be with you
and feel the whole wide world within my soul
Feeling like a little person in the cold
The storm feels pretty I am not alone
I got my friends and they know
Exactly how I feel and who I am
and what I am, and where I'm going next

I'll tell you everything
Thatcha ask for
I will give you all the things
in my backyard
Love you til the spring
Like I have to
I could love you everyday
If you want to
Feelin' sorts of things
Like I have to
I'm in a jam
I'm trying
To figure out the problem
I can ask
For the things I need from love
Like I have to
There's blue
I see you
I see you like a baby
I'll love you
No, I'll hold
Myself
Like I should
There's nothing left to do
Nothing left to say

Coca-Cola
03:42

I can hear the church bells singing
I can feel it all ringing
I am seeing something in the sand
I've been drinking Coca-Cola
Something feels like cherries in my brain
I will love it all the same
Something's in the pictures like I thought
There's nothing I remember that I haven't forgot
I can feel it all
Like a fox loves itself
Mama's running to the den
She is with her babies
Make it safe again
And it's green outside again
There's nothing in the water
That you can't explain
The bluest thing of all
Is the lovely masquerade
That we play with ourselves
There's nothing in the water

Somewhere I know
There's a planet that glows
That has people dancing
And laughing so kindly
And I know
In Kentucky
I heard that farmer saw
an alien buggy
That flew through the sky
Someday I know
I'll look into the sky
See a planet glowing
Right in front of my eyes
I know
They're listening
For people dancing
Right under our sun
Right under our sun
And I know
It's a shame
We'll never hold hands dancing
Under the pouring rain
We'll have to do
Our best
Under the scorching sun
A million miles
From my chosen one
My chosen one

New York City

I'd love to tell you what it’s like in new york city
but i dont think that you would like to hear
cause im dreaming of a place that is so pretty
the only place id love to be tonight
I can’t tell you the things I have been dreaming
cause I’m scared you’ll think I’m gone
I’d love to show you the things I think are pretty
But I know you might just
run away
I know that I can’t bare to see you gone
Have you ever felt like you were drifting?
In a dream and you can’t find your way
I’m here to tell you that I'll feel that way tomorrow
When the blue is gone and everything's so gray
I can’t stay here I know
I can’t dream like I did before
Cause I have to leave this home
And I have to
But I don’t want to go
I’d love to tell you
the things that I’ve been dreaming
If I can, I don’t think I’d cry
I’d love to tell you
The things I can’t believe in
I really think I might just cry

Green Hills

|
It's like blue
The mountaintops
I see you
It's so green outside
I'll love you
And the clouds rolled by
Haven't seen that before
One last time
Up the hill
I haven't seen
it so still
But what
If I dropped this
And broke it in pieces
I wanna love
Till the top is free
I see you walking
I don't care to stop like this
There's just blue in this
What if I trip
and I lose it all?
What if I slip
and I can't recall
My lips
The rest all falls

Mayfly
I hope you like swimming
And mayfly
You ever tried swimming?
Under the night sky
The night sky
Oh mayfly
Time is a tickin'
In 24 hours
Your life will be kickin'
What shall we do?
Mayfly
I hope you like swimming
under the night sky
Cause time is a tickin'
Oh mayfly...
What shall we do
About you?
Mayfly
Tomorrow you'll die
And what shall we do
With the rest of our lives?
Sweet mayfly...
Oh mayfly
There's so little time
How will you spend your time?
Running through the water
Can you see me tonight?
Oh mayfly
There's so much to live for
I can't stand it
The things I can try for
Will you give it tonight?
I hope you like swimming
Under the night sky
It's such a bright night
Oh mayfly
What shall we do
With the rest of your life?
Mayfly!
I'll see you tonight
For the rest of your life
Mayfly!
What shall we do?

Beauty Queen

Wouldn't you see?
Like a 100 degrees
If you had it inside, could you
give it to me? it's like
Rock and roll, it's like
Paying the toll, it's like
100 degrees, outside today
What do you mean
she's not the beauty queen?
She looks fine to me
She's got eyes that are green
What do you mean
She's not the movie scene?
She's just the perfect person
To be the one for me
She's like... Lightning McQueen
The way she... Moves in the scene!
She knows... Right from wrong...
She sings... All of my songs!
She's got the punch in the back
She's got the movie attack
She's got all it seems
All it seems
What do you mean?
She's got the karaoke machine
She'll break your, heart for free
She'll break your, heart for free
And I know what I see
She's got the love for me
She's got the love for me
She's got the right love for me!!!

Train Song
05:21
|
|||
|
I was up all night with the great morning chatter
All the animals were dancing by the ladder
We were up til 7:30 writing songs
The bears were singing, and the beavers were writers
Wrote a song ourselves, and we called our daughters
And I'll tell you everything that we thought
It was beautiful like a poem in the song
and I wish we sang by the sweet old pond
But the ducks they play and sing their songs
I took a midnight train going nowhere
Looking out the window at the stars
Felt a little bird inside my heart
and I heard that train howl in the night
Saw a pretty lady down the aisle
She was older, sweet, and had a child
She played til 7:30 in the morning
Playing games with her daughter every moment
Singing softly to the choir in a moment
An attendant came over, he asked me my order
All I wanted was a coke and a bowl of chowder
And I cried for 7 hours on the train
I wrote so many songs on many pages
Looking out the window I saw the flowers
The great old mountains I think I'm a coward
Feeling like I was before, like myself
Feeling like I was a child by myself
Can't tell you everything I feel myself
Singing songs with God? I'll sing them louder
The sweet noise of silent chatter
Cause on the train I wrote a page for 30 hours
Telling the story of the love you can't devour
The song keeps running around
I can't write it down
I can't write it down in words
It's too much
How can I describe to you
How it feels to be in love
With the world
You had to be there on the train
Next to that girl
Who played with her daughter the whole night
Who played with her daughter the whole night

Creepy Crawler sitting in my doorway
I know you
From way back before
I swear
Even though we can't talk
We get along
The way that we can
With the things that we have
And I like you as you are
Creepy Crawler sitting in my doorway
I know you
From way back before
I swear
Even though we speak
The ways that we can
We have words we don't
Understand
And I'd like to know what you
Understand
And I like you as you are
Creepy Crawler sitting on my porch
I know you
From way back before
My friend
Even though we can't
Understand
We can try
The best we can
To be the best
Friends that we can
Cause I like you as you are
Creepy Crawler sitting in my doorway
I know you
From way back before
My friend
Even though we can't talk
I always stop
To try and think about
What you're thinking about
And where are you going
Are you okay
How's your family and friends?
Do they know me?
And I like you as you are
And I like you as you are
Creepy Crawler sitting in my doorway
I adore you
The way that you move
You're my friend
I wish we could talk
With all the things that we've got
The stories we could share
And I do care
About your life and all you're doing
Do you see me too?
And all the things that I'm doing
What I'm trying to do
In this big old world I'm glad that
I know you
And I like you as you are
And I like you as you are

Orange Sunglow

Orange sunglow through the mist
And I can’t remember why
If I could call you
I would tell you
Every reason why
Yeah I’m holding!
Onto something
that I tried so hard to leave
Don’t you see me?
I’m still walking like I used to
The way I did back then
If you had to find the pieces
I would piece them back again
I still know
It’s all the same
And that blue note hits the same
I still call you
And hold it all together
Like I have to do
I’ll never know the reasons
Why you left me in the blue

High Heels
02:01

I was rockin' big wheels
Doin' my best to be myself
I was doing cartwheels
Running through the streets
I was wearing high heels
Feelin like I am
I was doin silly things
Doing my best just to survive
My best just to survive
I don't have all night
To live my god damn life
I was only 15
Wanting to make it on my own
I was doing cartwheels
In the streets and at my home
If you could remind me
What was that thing you said
I was doing cartwheels
and day dreaming in bed
and Day dreaming in bed
Day dreaming in bed
I don't have all night
To live my God Damn life
