Honeytree 05:31
lyrics
buy track
Stare at my body my skin falls in as I breathe I’m not a body maybe all we feel is false, not real enough to be I lost my body I forgot how to breathe I’m not a body I will fade completely, sweetly, tell me what you fear We lived where we could sleep moss fields charmed our honeybees What we saw, we tried to see from underneath our honeytree Stare at your body trembling rise, un-failed release You’re not a body do you feel that pulse, it’s real, it calls you restlessly Love flows inside of me electric things I try to believe but I’m not a body I look behind and I feel fine when you’re out of reach Our shadows woke defiantly they rose and fell in disbelief What they saw, they could not keep call your shadow back to me As we walked through honeytrees you gave love to me You were all that I could see I lost sight of my body Now we live so men can be made of light decidedly What they saw, they did not seek shaded by our honeytree

Wild Strawberries 03:29
lyrics

Wild strawberries grow and cover me I’m not as scared as I seem First I had to see her piercing blue eyes but as I turned they were black and white I was once alive long before this up until now only I noticed Birds fly over me their shadows dart and weave all will be well you’ll see I remember life among the salty trees I was floating my love was yours to keep I recalled a dream busy in my mind years and years went by faults grow old with time Wild strawberries go and live in the sea that’s where I long to be

River Man 05:13
lyrics
buy track
I fell in love with the river man I’m still in love with the river man he lost my shoes and scarred my hands, my lovely hands I fell asleep with the river man odds are steep with the river man I slowly sink and turn to sand, silver sand I will gleam and wait for thee I lost my name, it was heavenly When it rains, I cannot see Wait for me I face my fears with the river man He tells me he’s near and will do what he can he’s not scared, not what I am I can’t stay with the river man He shows me the way but I know where I am I’m made of light, do you understand, sweet river man When I wake I’m not afraid I’m not afraid I will gleam and wait for thee I lost my name, it was heavenly When it rains, I cannot see Wait for me

Sounds of Love 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes I want to fade into the sounds of love Men can breathe when we embrace they were meant to save us Breathing men seek to soothe and they offer solace too Walls are built above you and your mind goes silent Muddled sounds blur the truth now your love goes quiet Often I find that I fade and stay today I might just fade away Listen to the lonesome tree swaying in the lonesome breeze gusting past my bare knees I’m in love I am not scared to be in a time that mirrors me I know what you will see I found you Listen to the moon and sea tide will breathe and it will leave tender sounds heard distantly men make do You will fade soon in the sounds of love too

Diamond Shapes 04:38
lyrics
buy track
Distance had you when I could not as hills passed through they lived with your thoughts when the breeze blew, it loved what you saw I can stay far away too My light is vague and made foolishly from you I was brave, only the ocean knew diamond shapes still make me think of you A woman wept until the ground fell apart your arms gently filled with her gaping heart I stood softly still, I’m not where you are I can stay far away too my light is vague and made foolishly from you I was brave, only the ocean knew diamond shapes still make me think of you I lost sight of you the sky turned dreamy blue you faded to red, you left too soon I can stay far away too my light is vague and made foolishly from you I was brave, only the ocean knew diamond shapes still make me think of you

Where Your Mind Goes 04:59
lyrics
buy track
I want to be where your mind goes in the dark and as your eyes close Work hard to stand watch a peaceful man and he’ll watch you too You hear the things that no one else knows walk soft as the handsome trees blow This avant-garde man fools you with his hands but he loves you too Peer down from above, up from below a man is a man and thoughts will follow I was lost when time began I don’t come from this land I’m only passing through too

Resting Owl 03:50
lyrics
buy track
The resting owl breathes into motion the forest sways and moves in commotion My light burns yellow so he can see where I stumble on my way in the leaves Guide me past the tracks the iron is gone the train is late and I am going home Don’t you know I’m looking for you we met in a winter that was gone too soon I’m frightened we won’t catch the wind how did I lose my dearest friend My light is dimming owl rest with me the dark kills night and I cannot see So far and so close the owl does breathe we’re almost home with your love you must be You’re weak and you're frail when he’s not near your body fails it cannot breathe the air Walk towards the least charming tree don’t look up at its leaves Its beauty lies there under the soil roots grow deep they spin and coil This is where I’ll be under these un-charming leaves holding hope that you will see the light that’s burning next to me

Yellow Canoe 03:48
lyrics
buy track
The yellow canoe swims down the red river where men sleep and kill each other The gray cold mountain stares down at the river canoe take me somewhere better Rocks fall loudly on my shoulders crashing boulders strain my body You weep profoundly for the soldiers bodies colder, the warm caught me Fate pulls us down sea, we wade slower fear holds composure, you’ve not lost me You don’t have to doubt that love can find its way to you canoe

Blue 03:26
lyrics
buy track
I stare out into the blue when I turn to look at you everything floods to green I turn my eyes in disguise back towards the outpouring skies you’re white and pure, it seems I lost you when the blue faded to green Above men while lightening’s storming the sun fades and rain starts pouring My eyes close while your heart’s luring you come near and I’m adoring I’ll make my way back to morning when the night has begun un-forming I lost you when the blue faded to green When we woke in June yellow light had me confused Clouds begin to bloom longing for something pure too

Juniper Bird 05:34
lyrics
buy track
Twining vines climb and climb past the flying juniper bird Swirling seas whirl unease swallowing up the hazelnut You don’t scare me sea you’re only water and a breeze you don’t scare me you don’t scare me I will dive and fly below your waves to find my treasure you stole from me that day I will swim among the waves among the fishes among the caves I will look for you below the darkness grows and life moves slow I will see where you are resting the seaweed is nesting you are a blessing You were a stranger among these creatures they were frightened of your features Come with me, we will go home I can’t go back there alone I pull you up into the air we are almost there my dear The blue fades fast and far behind we belong where the vine untwines We live quaint among the moss our bed is green and it is soft among the moss
