In the garden, in the rain
I planted a question
I called out your name
In the garden, in the rain
Save me
This fruit looks divine
How can something so good
Break my peace of mind
The apple and me
I just wanted a bite
Oh what have I done
Something isn't right
In the garden, in the rain
I planted a question
I called out your name
In the garden, in the rain
I'm pushing through weeds
I'm lost in a haze
Which way can I go
To get out of this maze
I've been here before
I know this refrain,
Will I be chained to this wheel
Or healed by the rain
In the garden, in the rain
I planted a question
I called out your name
In the garden, in the rain
In the garden, a question takes form
Will it be answered, or left unborn

Groundhog Day
04:34
|
|
||
|
The sun comes up
She bats her eyelashes
And lets the light filter in
The air is cold
So she bundles up
She knows she's gonna get it right today
She'll do it better than yesterday
She's stepping out
Into a frozen scene
It's harder than it looks to let love in
To let love in
Groundhog
Is there another winter coming my way
Groundhog
What can you see from your teeny tiny cave
Is winter here to stay?
Outside
The streets are quiet, there's only a
Dog and a man smoking a cigarette
In the street
Their eyes meet
And they stop for passing conversation
But only in passing
Groundhog
Is there another winter coming my way
Groundhog
What can you see from your teeny tiny cave
Is winter here to stay?
The day is done
Time to get cozy and warm
She sits by the window
With a book
But her mind wanders
She thinks of springtime
And wonders how it ever went away
Is winter here to stay?

Insomniac

Night time calls, this house is burning
Can't catch my breath, I can't sleep
My thoughts are spirals, my body restless
My heart is aching, I can't sleep
Tell me stay a while
Whisper incantations in my ear
Tell me there is nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
Out the window, through the door
Nothing I haven't seen before
I am floating, set into motion
Under a spell, under the sheets
You are a mountain, I am a tree
Don't want to be planted, I just want to be free
Tell me stay a while
Whisper incantations in my ear
Tell me there is nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
Out the window, through the door
Nothing I haven't seen before
I am a wanderer, I am ghost
I am invisible, when I want you the most
You are an owl, scouring for mice
You want to build a fire, you don't want to play nice
Tell me stay a while
Whisper incantations in my ear
Tell me there is nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
Out the window, through the door
Nothing I haven't seen before

Weaver

Can't look away
Can't take my eyes off you
I can't look away
My eyes are wide
Wide open
I can't look away
Weaver, spin that thread so thin
You've got me on the line for you
Weaver, here I am in plain view
You've got me on the line for you
You're in the woods,
You're dropping breadcrumbs,
I'm Gretel, I'm a reckless fool
The fox is out, I'm locked on his trail
Honey I'm a fool
Weaver, spin that thread so thin
You've got me on the line for you
Weaver, here I am in plain view
You've got me on the line for you
Your moves are obvious
This game is rigged
I want to fold but I want the gold
Weaver, spin that thread so thin
You've got me on the line for you
Weaver, here I am in plain view
You've got me on the line for you
Can't look away
Can't take my eyes off you
I can't look away

Ghost

My ghost walks with me to the market
Holds my hand across the bridge
Skips rocks along the water
Sits with me at its edge
My ghost is in the bedroom
Playing my guitar
Dancing in the kitchen
My ghost is never far
Ghost, don't worry about me
I'm just living in circles
And paying off my fees
My ghost is an illusion
A trick of the light
My ghost is just the shadow
Of objects in the night
My ghost is ever present
And yet not there at all
I try to conjure up his form
But I can't quite recall
Ghost, don't worry about me
I'm just living in circles
And paying off my fees
I saw my ghost in a crowded room
I was looking for you, I was looking for…
Ghost, don't worry about me
I'm just living in circles
And paying off my fees

Johnny
03:19

My Jonny lies over the ocean
My Jonny lies over the sea
I dreamed he lived under the ocean
I dreamed he was swimming to me
Bring, oh bring, oh bring, oh bring
Oh bring my Jonny to me
Early one morning
As the fog was rising
I sailed my boat out to sea
I climbed up in the crows nest and scanned the horizon
But water was all I could see
Bring, oh bring, oh bring, oh bring
Oh bring my Jonny to me
My Jonny doesn't like the land
My Jonny prefers the sea
I dreamed I dove into the ocean
The ocean would bring him to me
Bring, oh bring, oh bring, oh bring
Oh bring my Jonny to me

Georgia
03:07
|

|
Georgia was a country girl
She had a head full of curls
Georgia was a teenage dream
She got the best of me
Chorus:
Georgia, I don't know why
I can't get ya off of my mind
Georgia, I don't know why
I can't get ya off of my mind
off of my mind...
She was an artist, a visionary
She made a picture of me
She was a dreamer, she was free
For some reason she picked me
Chorus
I walk left
You walk right
I'm in a bind
I walk left
You walk right
Can't get you off of my mind
Chorus

Rebuild
04:31
|
|||
|
I woke up yesterday and something wasn't right
I went down to the water and I had quite a fright
See, the world was standing still but I was turning round
I threw a stone but it didn't make a sound
I cannot justify the actions that you take
I feel so weighted down when the world seems full of hate
How could the people give power to the hands of a man so cruel
I once had hope but now I feel a fool
Chorus:
We gotta rebuild from the bottom up
We gotta rebuild
Rebuild from the bottom up
We gotta stay strong
Rebuild
You disregard our planet
And the impending heat
What will become of the oceans
And the soil ‘neath your feet
What happens when you make divides
Between sister and brother
How shall we choose to shape the air
Will we love one another
Chorus
Did you know that you set
The standard for our youth
Yes, our children are watching
And listening to you
Will they judge a neighbor by
The color of his skin
Will a young girl think
That she can never win
Chorus
