If It's Not You
There's a swan park near we can go for free
we can watch the clouds in the sky
but it will rain all day on this sun drenched street
if you pass me by
It's just no fun it's no fun
it's just no fun it's no fun
it's just no fun if it's not you
There's a dark old house boarded up for years
we can make a home of our own
but it will float away on my flood of tears
if you tell me no
It's just no fun it's no fun
it's just no fun it's no fun
it's just no fun if it's not you
I have a teacup filled with earth
I dug from under your window
I want to plant us in it
and watch it grow for ever and ever and ever and ever
There's a dream I had you were in it too
we just sat for hours
It's just no fun it's no fun
it's just no fun it's no fun
it's just no fun if it's not you

Time To Fly
No one's ever gonna crawl without a heart
No one's ever gonna see him torn apart
No one's ever gonna hurt his pride
Take him home and tear him up inside
He's ready now, so ready to fly
Did you ever find a place where no one dreams
Will you ever see the face that can't be seen
Was there ever any doubt about it
Was there time for him to talk about it
Hope someday that he can laugh about it
Open up and leave the fear behind
Take a chance the light is just outside the door
You don't have to look, just close your eyes
it's time to fly
Someone told him that he had to play his part
Someone told him that the end was only the start
No one told him that they lied about it
If he tried that he could live without it
Hope someday that he can laugh about it
Open up and leave the fear behind
Take a chance the light is just outside the door
You don't have to look, just close your eyes
it's time to fly

Baby That Day May Come
You came with flowers and a hint of trouble to come
The restless scent of danger yea that was the one
You found me waiting like a bird for winter to end
The flight of one lone raven high on the wind
The calling of an angel
Is the crying of ones heart
In the dark hour of loves despair you wanted to be my one
When the world ends and the light goes out
Then baby that day may come
My love’s a stranger
Like a dog I followed you home
To lay down beside you yet you’re all alone
You talk about the future
You talk about how precious and few are
The days we had together a let down to you
Oh but conversations started
Are words hung in midair
In the dark hour of loves despair you wanted to be my one
When the world ends and the light goes out
Then baby that day may come
Before my veneration I was locked outside the door
With images of misdirected passions on the floor
Now we’ve reached the end of what this whole charade was for
And the night won’t cry anymore
The calling of an angel
Is the crying of ones heart
In the dark hour of loves despair you wanted to be my one
When the world ends and the light goes out
Then baby that day may come

Dragtown Afternoon

Drag Town Afternoon
Red brick wall staring down at crumbling plaster
by the old lamp is a mattress
where on lies the human shell
tossed aside no heart to master
loss of pride she wore her red dress
in the gray rain
of a simple drag town afternoon
three steps down lead to where good things imagined
silver trays and white silk passions
come in numbers for the few
turn in back a courtyard fashioned
in the center main attraction
is the lady
of a simple drag town afternoon
she lifts her head
the clouds race by
the sun refuses to be high
the wind cries out
the birds take wing
another night is closing in
In the dust, records from a time of pleasure
and her books, the poet's measure
tells of sorrow's thirst for love
kept with memories burning treasures
once a rose bloomed in the desert
on the island
of a simple drag town afternoon
she tips the cup
her life runs out
a pale moon rises in the east
the fading hour
light's dimming door
another night of dreamless sleep
In the dust trace a picture of tomorrow
choose a new face now and borrow
a reflection of a simple drag town afternoon

Big, Blonde, and Dumb

Big Blond & Dumb
green green velvet lined evening wear
left on a rock at the beach
green scream washed out by five o'clock
wanting now only to sleep
blue blue blue colors everything
smearing on paper and stone
true blue following anyone
ruining our plans to atone
bringing us back to your throne
my hair's in my eyes and my fingers are stinging
my arms and my legs have gone numb
but I feel in my heart the world soon will be singing
salvation from under the thumb
it's hard being big, blond and dumb
red red what was it that woman said
caught with your pants at your knees
dead red off with his other head
try not to beg if you please
and cover your mouth when you sneeze
my hair's in my eyes and my fingers are stinging
my arms and my legs have gone numb
but I feel in my heart the world soon will be singing
salvation from under the thumb
still it's hard being big, blond and dumb

Off Is On
There is no Tao, no curse of hell, no cast of shadows lurking
no here and now, no time to tell, when things are hardly working
hardly working
don't be sorry
don't think you won't come back again
don't be sorry
every off is on (will we ever fly again?)
Your narrow sight, your faded walk, you're tryin' to be so casual
You're always right, transparent talk, you're stalking oh so gradual
oh so gradual
don't be sorry
You know that you'll be back again
don't be sorry
every off is on (will we ever fly again?)
for a moment you had peace
We came from fire, or last desire, oh life is so uncertain
wee took a vow, now take a bow, before the final curtain
final curtain
don't be sorry
you know you're all I want to be
don't be sorry
every off is on (will we ever fly again?)

Dead End Angel
Where is my dead end angel, my saint of sins unatoned
I lost my dead end angel, dark prophet written in stone
Here in the darkest night shadows warn the day
She brought a virgin’s light, visions wrapped in gray
Where is my dead end angel she wandered out in the crowd
I lost my dead end angel princess of reason in sound
Here in the darkest night I have ever seen
Blessed with the gift of sight she passed out of the dream
The day will hide our fear inside
And we will chase the rising tide
No one will see no one will cry the magic lasts until were
Here in the darkest night I have ever seen
Blessed with the gift of sight she passed out of the dream
Where is my dead end angel, my saint of sins unatoned
I lost my dead end angel, dark prophet written in stone
Here in the darkest night I have ever seen
Blessed with the gift of sight she passed out of the dream

So Easy
The cat came home after three nights in the rain
looking sad and sorry at her but looking back behind again
She let him in without even saying a word
he cuddled up beside her and began to purr
If it was only that simple, if it was only so easy
to come home to you, to come home to you
If it was only that simple, if it was only so easy
to come home to you, to come home to you
Your door is locked and I no longer feel the need
to stand there and holler at it or bang until I bleed
You used to answer even if you weren't alone
I used to walk right in, yes I did, and make myself at home
If it was only that simple, if it was only so easy
To come home to you, to come home to you
If it was only that simple, if it was only so easy
To come home to you, to come home to you
I knock into town and I don't like what I see
There's lots of happy, smiling, laughing, foolish as can be
I used to be one of those poor losers too
I used to walk around singing love songs to you
If it was only that simple, if it was only so easy
I’d come home to you, to come home to you
If it was only that simple, if it was only so easy
I’d come home to you, to come home to you

Inside My Head
warm rain dampened ground soul lost deep in sound
you get inside my head you get inside my head
eyes of silent fire wash in my desire
you get inside my head you get inside my head
my hands intent on searching
laying bare, the walls come crashing
in pieces swept away on waves of sorrow's wings
circle over sphere lift the vale of tears
you get inside my head you get inside my head
you get inside my head you get inside my head
staggered step on stair narrow voice in prayer
you get inside my head you get inside my head
light in forest dark sun on crystal shard
you get inside my head you get inside my head
I have this vision cloaked in fears of longing, on to morning
awake in darkened hollow
watchful skies of gray and yellow
embracing arms untethered, sailing off in fatal weather
weed all the dim hearts out to waste this precious thing
soften nail in stone struggle on alone
you get inside my head you get inside my head
you get inside my head you get inside my head

Jennifer Field
Jennifer Field watches the sun come up
And plans all her sights for the day
Jennifer Field puts on her make up
And chases the shadows away
She goes down to the morning refugees
And she walks along the streets
And she stops to talk with all the different people that she sees
Jennifer Field dresses in colors
She even goes out in the rain
And Jennifer Field cares about others
She wants to heal all of their pain
She goes down to the morning refugees
And she walks along the streets
And she stops to talk with all the different people that she sees
Jennifer God is always making plans for you
Jennifer, Jennifer
Jennifer Field sleeps like a baby
Knowing the world is all right
And Jennifer Field wakes to the same thing
That every day follows the night
She goes down to the morning refugees
And she walks along the streets
And she stops to talk with all the different people that she sees
To the morning refugees
And she walks along the streets
And she stops to talk with all the different people that she sees
