Lover, Move

Lover move
Oh lover move
Into a softer shape
Lover move
Now maintain
Please maintain
The curving of your body,
Maintain
The way you generate heat
It reminds me of
How I'd like to breathe
The way you generate heat
It reminds me of
How I'd like to breathe
My lover east
My lover west
When he'll come again I cannot tell
In the spring, or
In the fall?
If the earth is waking I'm sure he'll call
Oh but something's gotta give
My heart is weaker than I've known it could exist
Oh but something's gotta give
If he is aching from his wondering and
ready to come home I'll be here
My lover wants
Or so I'm told
A woman who can pull him in from the cold
CH
Lover move
Oh lover move
Into a softer shape
Lover move

Act Your Age

You're too young, much too young
You're too young, much too young
Act your age
Act your age
You're too cold, much too cold
You're too cold, much too cold
Come outside and site
Come, take off your hat
The sun is only here for a while and then
The night grows back
So we wanna know, are you gonna play?
It's getting late, and we can't wait no more.
Flowers bend their heads at the mention of your name
The sky is sorry for gathering rain.
You're too full, much too full
You're too full, much too full
You can't fit through the door
What do you think it's there for?
I'm tired of watching you weighing your heart like that
Down to the floor
You're too young, much too young
You're too young, much too young
Act your age, act your age
Act your age
So we wanna know, are you gonna play?
It's getting late, and we can't wait no more.
Flowers bend their heads at the mention of your name
The sky is sorry for gathering rain,
And everyone's sorry for gathering rain
You're too young, much too young

Come Down
03:23

When you come down, when you come down
Come to pass
With your bare feet marking the ground
You are sewn into the seams
Of this, it seems
And it's rained here, night into night
While they sleep
You play mother, covering roots
I've seen you sing, song along the leaves
Song along the leaves
And you admire the shadow scratching,
Where you lay your body 'neath the
Thatching branches
Covering you
When you come down, when you come down
Come to pass
With your bare feet marking the ground
You are sewn into the seams
Of this, it seems

Blood Moon

Set forth in stone
I am not
Set in stone
I will change, I will move
I will live
By the light of this
Blood moon
When, I'll say when
Enough's enough
Final straw
To hit the flame, smoke to rise
Smoke to clear
I'll be here, with this
Blood moon
Clarity, I need you
Clarity, I need you
Speak out loud to me
And I will let you in for sure
Eyes, with which to see
And a mouth
It's there to breathe, that's all you'll need
That is all
And trust in me
That is all, with this
Blood moon

Barn Swallow

|
When the light goes out, I'll leave
As you're falling fast asleep
I'll be out of your hair,
And into my car
Steady girl, don't lose your will
Bag's half empty but my brain is full
If this is just a test,
I think that I've failed
Found a bird the other day
She was frantic trying to fly away
Inside the attic of a barn,
I watched as she crashed
Well I guess she didn't know
Every window that she found was closed
Seems that's always the way when
You're looking to go
Don't cut me loose
I may not be
Coming back soon
Come inside, the TV's on
We don't even need to talk
Everything you don't want,
Just leave in the snow
Can't it wait till early spring?
It's too cold to sever anything
Wait a couple of months for
The fever to break
See me
Bending toward the light
Leaning,
I can't stay the night
Your hair and
Everything i like
Fading,
Almost out of sight
There are roots that stay alive
Hiding underneath the frozen soil
They're just biding their time and
I hope they survive
When the light goes out, I'll leave
As you're falling fast asleep
I'll be out of your hair

Found Her, Found Her
04:06

When I came on over
And I fell like an empire
All my shadows surrendered
Everything they remembered,
Everything they remembered
Where the snow had lifted,
What our feet had imprinted
Fell asleep in the drift and
Woke up holding your warm hand
Woke up holding your warm hand
Singing, louder, louder
Singing, found her, found her
I was flying over
Over every tower
With the birds who fly higher
Over birds on the wire,
Over birds on the wire
I left all the hard lines
Carried only soft light
There was no sun in sight,
Winter closing her eyes,
Winter closing her eyes
Now our breathing's easing,
Your hands are weaving
Every stitch is revealing
All I woke with I'm keeping
Singing, louder, louder
Singing, found her, found her
