Jumping

I don't want your

Tears on my hands

I want to lick them

Slowly off your cheeks

The last thing that you want

When your cheeks are flushed

I want you to know

In your heart of hearts

That when anything I say

hurts you in any way

It's not the way I meant it

I need to speak my truth

Without you jumping

To the first conclusion

The science of the heart

Is really more like art

And art provokes

Black Ice

Slipping on black ice

Momentum going down

A slippery slope

On black ice

No way to stop

On black ice

No way to brake

On black icel

Just things to break

On black ice

Such a thin veneer

Of ice so crystal clear

The darkness 

Looks so safe

The darkness 

looks so safe

No way to drive

On black ice

Or stay alive

On black ice

The surface 

is a lie

Bound to

make you cry

When other

People try

Their luck

On black ice

Azure Pleasure

Azure pleasure

Liquid measure

How sure is your

Treasure?

How sure?

How pure?

Firefly by

Quantum leaps

In silky moonlight

Hovering 

Lonely lane of

Hidden pain

Reggae romping

rhythms of 

Beating rain

The happy click

Of dog tags

Roaming

Realm Of Mystery

Some nights i lie awake

In sleepless wonder

Open to words and notes 

Routine asunder

In this silence that 

embraces me,

In this shower

of serenity

In this  moonlight 

realm of Mystery

My breath is steady

I am alive

My heart is ready

Uncontrived

My lover wonders

Where I've gone

I've come to gather

Verse and song

I will return and 

Sleep consume

But for now i'm

Staring at the moon

Sound

Why do they call it
"sound asleep"?
Sound is keeping me
From my sleep

I keep my guitar
Near my bed
So In the night
When beasties stir

And the pillow
Rejects my
pounding
Head


Door
Flush
Gush
Floor


I pace the strings
And try to
Remember
Lyrics or
Chords to


Half-forgotten songs
The soundtrack
Of my life
Half-remembered


An hour
Till the
buzzard
Squawks


Now I feel
Like sleeping


The hard route
As usual

If You Could See Me Now - lyrics

If you could see me now
If you could see me now

You'd see someone sitting
Right on top of the world
Who is head over heels in love
With a beautiful girl
If you could see me now

If you could see me now
If you could see me now

You'd see someone who is
Not afraid to change
You'd see someone whose old life
Now seems so strange
If you could see me now

If you could hear me now
Then I could teach you how

How to live every day
As if it were your last
And forgive everyone that
Crossed you in the past
If you could hear me now

If you could hear me now
Then I could teach you how
 
How to love yourself
Your body and your soul
How to build yourself up
Until you're feeling whole
If you could hear me now

I Just Know

I Just Know  lyrics

Sometimes you know
You don't know why you know
You just know you just know

Sometimes you just don't know
You don't know why you don't know
You just don't know you just don't know

Going back there, going back in time
And looking behind
Going back there, going back in time
And looking behind

I don't know I don't know
I don't know how I know
I just know

Sometimes you're told
Sometimes you have to be sold,
You think you know but
You don't really know
You don't really know

Looking forward, looking forward
To life without regret
Looking forward, looking forward to life
The best to come yet

I don't know, I don't know
I don't know how I know
I just know

Sometimes you've got to be bold
You can die before you grow old
But you wanna grow old
You wanna grow old

Looking forward, looking forward
To life without regret
Looking forward, looking forward to life
The best to come yet

I don't know, I don't know
I don't know how I know
I just know
