Spend a Week

Got to move, I’m about to overflow
just the thought will give me such a rush
This condition must be diagnosed
All I can do is keep the fuss hush
Everytime we meet, I spend a week (spend a week)
Everytime we meet, I spend a week (spend a week)
Everytime we meet, I spend a week (spend a week)
high on life
It’s dark and moonless but you’re fire in my sight
What’s your conviction for triggering this appetite?
Don’t go, don’t give me the red light
I wanna get close to you, I need a dose of you
Everytime we meet, I spend a week (spend a week)
Everytime we meet, I spend a week (spend a week)
Everytime we meet, I spend a week (spend a week)
High on life

Signal

Statelines and real lines
Forgot to sign it, crossed behind it
We’ve got messy lives but
How bout last time I saw you
You know, how I wanted to let you
your fragrance, worlds unfolding.
Bliss, Exquisitely.
Your pleasure, imagined all over me.
Ah ah, ah ah
If there is anything you want
can you find a way to
signal in the dark?
If there is anything you want
can you find a way to
signal in the dark?
Now you’re asking, where you fit in
I wanna see, what you’re seeing
Must look like
I gave up your place
Hardly, fleshed out,
honeycomb grown, and all I know,
your heart, is the house
that after all these years still feels like my home.

Island

I’m an island
Takeover this map, hurricane
Oh, Atlantic, Rising
the planet is warm
coming through another storm
Sailing to your family, recovery
My heart goes there with you on your way out to sea
My feet are strong ashore
But you’re an anchor even more
CH
I’m an island
I’m an island
And the ocean is you
I’m an island
And the ocean is you
All day, cafe window, I watch rain
Sweep 6th avenue, lights go dim
Flooding all the streets
I breath a wish for your safety
Late night, new friends, Entertain
but sure as the tide, you'll come in again
Flooding all my thoughts
Seems I can’t hide from this sea
I’m an island
And the ocean is you
I’m an island
and the ocean is you
I’m an island

Northern Star

I’ve known you
like an ancestor
From someplace
undefined
Not the past
but the center
Intersect
And combine
Throw your watch away and your compass gone
the rooms and hallways intertwine
That’s how you tear through all of time
and your footprints cross all of mine
You are my Northern Star
You are...
Morning came
like an alpine lake today
we had formed a tribe
marked our days by the sunsets
and records forty-five
Throw your watch away and your compass gone
the rooms and hallways intertwine
That’s how you tear through all of time
and your footprints cross all of mine
You are my Northern Star
You are...
You’ve known me
like an ancestor
From someplace
undefined
Not the past
but the center
Intersect
And combine and combine,and combine, and combine

Only Hello
02:42
|

|
Most people say goodbye
But you seem to tell me hello
Farewell is meant for some
Who stay until it’s done
Just for you it’s only hello
Just for you it’s only hello
Just for you it’s
Just for you it’s only hello
Each day you follow the sun
Move soon and go with the tide
Now you’ll never be the one
Who gets left behind
Just for you only hello
Just for you it’s only hello
Just for you it’s
Just for you it’s only hello
Annie Dillard said why not drop all this hello-ing and goodbye-ing
Still, for you it’s only hello
Still, for you it’s only hello
Still, for you it’s only hello
Still, for you it’s only hello

Traveling

Old man feeds the ducks
circle ‘round him near the train tracks, at dusk
Tall grass and loose clothes
drummer bums at the Great Wall
Ee ee ee ee ee ee
Bridges, river, city, yellow paint, pavement, making a home
Bridges, river, city, yellow paint, pavement, mirror in time
White Rabbit, motionless staring
I see you - see you run!
Secret trees to hide you, Rabbit
Quick feet now, like yours keep moving
Ay ay ay ay ay ay
Bridges, river, city, yellow paint, pavement, making a home
Bridges, river, city, yellow paint, pavement, mirror in time
Bridges, river, city, yellow paint, pavement, making a home
Bridges, river, city, yellow paint, pavement, mirror in time

I have a craving for the edge
a place by the water with nothing around, nothing around
these shells in my hand, one day turn to sand
feel this
He has a craving for the ground
to sit by the sheep in the mountains Canadian, Canadian
he would wear brown and white wool to blend in with them
feel this, feel this
She has a craving for the flood
fast, running naked into the sea
Where the salt is more powerful than her perfume
feel this, to feel this
I see you in me, and me in you
And for that there’s less loneliness
And for that there’s less loneliness

Three Fishers
02:33
|

|
Three fishers went sailing out into the west
Out into the west as the sun went down
And each thought of the woman who loved him the best
And the children stood watching from out of the town
Men must work and women must weep
There's little to earn but many to keep
And the harbor bar be moaning
And the harbor bar be moaning
Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower
They trimmed the lamp as the sun went down
And they looked at the squall and they looked at the shower
And the night-wrack came rolling in ragged and brown
For men must work and women must weep
There's little to earn but many to keep
And the harbor bar be moaning
And the harbor bar be moaning
Three corpses lay out on the shining sand
In the morning gleam as the tide went down
And the women were weeping and wringing their hands
For the men who would never come back to the town
For men must work and women must weep,
There's little to earn but many to keep
And the harbor bar be moaning
And the harbor bar be moaning
Three fishers went sailing out into the west
Out into the west as the sun went down
And each thought of the woman who loved him the best
And the children stood watching from out of the town
