Seams
Life is better with you, I may tug at the seams, Maybe meet in the dirt To swim in the stream.
I been aching to know,
I been asking to mean,
Is this working for you
Like it’s working for me?
Infinite universe
Won’t hold me to the tracks,
And the consequential evidence infers Collisions from the back.
My god, what a view,
My love, what a scene, These natural disasters Come more natural to me.
Offer up a deal,
Negotiate the odds,
Give up this
For\gettin that,
Play both sides of the yard.
If I pay the rent
Will I earn my descent,
Or burn up by degrees?
Is it working for you?
Are we well adjusted to injustice
Or to grandiose retreat?
Is it working for you?
Is it working for you?
Is it working for you?

Raining in New Orleans
When it’s raining in New Orleans
I’ll be singing this song beside ya
Humming along,
Singing in New Orleans
And the weight of the world will swing
And the trouble you have will leave ya
No fool will break you
No shadow take your blue sky
I’ve been around the rounds
I’ve seen it change
These things they come and go
What’s so confusing now
Will come again
We need watch and wait
I do believe we made for
Raining in New Orleans
I’ll be singing this song beside you
Humming along,
Singing in New Orleans
I’ve been around the rounds
I’ve seen it change
These things they come and go
What’s so confusing now
Will come again
We need watch and wait
I do believe we made for rain

Kitchen Conversation
O your first move was so tender Like a fiddlehead fern,
Laugh, yeh, holdin a smile.
O drunk on a feelin,
Carelessly weavin
Your delicate story to mine.
They say love is an art,
not a right or wrong answer
and fades at the sign of routine.
So we conjured adventure and we
Hung from the rafters!
And tread lightly on each other’s dreams
Bottles, spoons and knives
Make a joyful noise and bring the family back to life
Let’s have a kitchen conversation, baby
Eat, love, eat, love and play nice
Daddy’s on the washtub
Mama on the bells
Auntie’s toy piano’s blowin bubbles, raisin hell! Floatin thru the ceiling
In a Juke-joint kinda feelin
That sweeps you and leads you along
They say love is an art,
Not a right or wrong answer
And fades at the sign of routine.
So we conjured adventure and we
Hung from the rafters!
And tread lightly on each other’s dreams
Bottles, spoons and knives
Make a joyful noise and bring the family back to life
Let’s have a kitchen conversation, baby
Eat, love, eat, love and play nice
Let’s have a kitchen conversation, baby
Eat, love, eat, love
Let’s have a kitchen conversation, baby
Eat, love, eat, love
Let’s have a kitchen conversation, baby
Eat, love, eat, love and play nice

Make or Break Moon
I don’t expect a holy voice
Come ringing in my ear
To speak to me in English
Or give meaning to my tears
The best I give is given out
And sits silent on a hill
When I stay my good intentions
From poisoning the well
Under the moon
Make or break moon
Humming a tune
Hummm
Make or Break Moon
Oh I wander from an honest road
Full speed into town
Find my head was spinning
too scared to look around
No audience, no waiting list
No choice to explore, except
Weigh the risk of being seen
‘Gainst the risk to be ignored
Under the moon
Make or break moon
Humming a tune
Hummm
Make or break moon
If I were a burning rock in the sky
Would I fall right,
Fall right, brightly
Under the moon
Make or break moon
Humming a tune
Hummm
Make or break moon
I don’t expect a holy voice
Come ringing in my ear

Body of Flaws
How could you love me,
This body of flaws?
In high definition,
Hold the applause.
I call upon spirit To find the refrain-
O how do you know me
And love me this way?
Hey y ee
Hey y ee
How do you see me, This withering vine?
Ripe for the picking Weathering time.
I call my beloved
To find the refrain-
O how do you know me And love me this way?
Hey y ee
Hey y ee
O how do you know me
And love me this way?

The Gradient
You can trust your life
We’ll be singin in the mornin
The sun in the east
Will bless the day.
You can thank your heart
For you getting you this far
Into The Gradient
There is a place,
No lines, no secrets
No rush for time,
No points of view
Just me and mine,
Yours and you,
Get through The Gradient.
When colors fade and bleed through paper
The changing shapes
Move red to blue
May the distant hills
Always remind you
You get through The Gradient.
Sunrise will bring a second chance
Sunrise will bring a second chance
Sunrise will bring a second chance
Second chance
Grandmother gave
Her gold, her silver
Offering sky flowers n fire
Into the pale unknown
She’ll be singin this song
Into The Gradient
Me and mine, yours and you
Get through The Gradient
