You'd like it much better
If you take your time
And wrap yourself up in it
Just to feel it go by

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Does it pour water
all over you?

What I'm thinking --
I been sitting here awhile
just drinking you in
Ever more than ever
I love you
Ever more than ever

I want you to know

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lowtide

Ah the repetition
Like day after day
The moon and the water
What else can you say?

The waves on the shoreline
Are so out of reach
Lowtide's got them running
Away from the beach

There's not enough time
To sun-dry the sand
Lowtide's the time
You know where you stand

All my dreams show thru
Smooth from constant wash
All my whole life, too
Is seaweed, birds and rocks
'til the tide comes in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fly you like a kite

Fly you like a kite
And you keep coming back to me
Every day the hole gets deeper
But nothing seems so free
Every day the wind blows stronger
Everything that comes and goes
Through my lifetime streaming by,
Everything I feel

Fly you like a kite
And you keep coming back to me
Boy, do I remember springtime
Everywhere the energy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The crickets outside my window
play the greatest backbeat
all night long
And the window in my head
blew open from the wind
they passed along

So I wandered
Here to see you
And wound up writing you
These lines

If you're not home
When you see them
I hope you make it back
Before too long.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And hey! we were kids once
Just you and me, we laughed all day
and barefooted high down green grass rolling,
Sandy toes and sunburned nose,
Your face turned mine freckled follies
With me so close to the rain.
All my important chuckles splash water in your eyes,
On your salt dried skin and sun dried hair.
The empty beach was ours to fill:
We cast our spells and shells cast theirs,
We stormed our castles by surprise,
We thought we knew so well our childish ways,
All my whole and unimportant tears are yours.

Hawaiian Goodbye

In one of the bubbles from the well
There's an old owl on the top branch of a tree
He's looking down at you
And he's looking down at me.

He can see the clouds and
maybe he can see the sea.
It's a Hawaiian goodbye
The way the wind bows up so high
So high, a Hawaiian Goodbye

Can you see?
Can you see the sea?
Can you see?
Take me

Take me to your heart
Do we need to be apart
Do we have to search to start?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
