I know, baby, I know
Of the fears and the frights and the dark, dark nights of your soul
As you hold on to him and watch as he's letting you go
To fall thru the floor, but you'll even the score down the road
Baby, you know it's true
tu sais que je sais que tu sais que
And every little thing that you do
Comes back on you
I know, bebe, I know
Of the frights and the fears and all of the years that roll
Down the cheeks of your life like so many tears in your bowl
Go on and pour, do as before, swallow the last drop whole
Chorus
I know, baby, I know
Of the fears and the frights and the dark,dark nights of your soul
St. John of the Cross the words have been lost that you told
There ain't no need to fear the coming year or the broken backs of the bold
Chorus

She listens to love songs
And thinks of herself
Nobody else
Singing come to me softly
Come to me slow
She sings to the mirror
And the valleys echo
The valley below the shadow
And the valley below
All I want to do
Is try to get through
Back to you
Up in her tower
She's weaving the fate
Boys in suits, knights in armor
Are gonna have to wait
Her body is burning
In some hero's fleece
Burn, light the candle to the quick
Nimble Jack's off the leash
And he's coming to the feast
Chorus
All I want to do
Is kiss your lotus feet
And I'll sound the retreat
Back to my seat, I'm going to sound the retreat
Look in your soul and you'll know
The heart still beats on, after you're gone
She listens to love songs
And thinks of herself
Her body is burning, burning, burning, burning and slowly dying
For somebody else

Hey mama robin
Perched on my tall fence
Where are you going?
And why've you left your nest?
I'm a faded, torn ten dollar bill
I'm a blue jay singing on a windowsill
I'm the cup that's held out to get it's fill
Go on and I'll see you somewhere down the road
Fair haired Robin
Girl from the high school
Yeah I remember back then
How I always played the fool
Sitting in my tall tree
Watching the world blow me
You know it don't come easy
But I had a little dream about you
You come and meet me up on some mountain head
You lay me down in your little river bed
You let me drink until I've finally been fed
Oh go on and I'll see you somewhere down the road
Little Ria
Girl from the endless summer
(L.A. Silo)
I know my season
Has gone and run the course
Oh, but I don't worry
Even though winter's coming
I've got my story
And it's sounded well rehearsed
I wrote a poem
Off with the wind it blown
Like the weight taken from a heavy load
Go on get out, go on get out
Go on and I'll see you somewhere down the road.

Fever Dreams

Where do you go in your fever dreams?
Are you crippled by the weight of the world?
Chasing some memories of your favorite girls?
Swirls, swirls swirls swirls all around you.
Ca va tu?
Ou est que tu va dans tes reves de fievre?
Speaking to your sister's friend
Asking her to come back again
After the vines on the garter rails break loose
And there's nothing you can do
Shining pictures on the wall
Down the hall
Come this way love
Lie back upon the bed
And I will clean the attic in your head
The furnace in your heart
The garden of your skin
And the oven that burns within
Where do you go in your fever dreams?
Chasing vitamins with l'elephant lager
Salting mermaids in the evening sun
Chasing the memory of another
Coffin moon lying in your sky
Where do you go in your fever dreams?
Are you banging on the sidewalks of the moon?
Banging up the dooryards of the moon?
Blink too late and it's gone to soon
And there's nothing you can do
Just shine on through and over you
