Banjo String
02:50
|
|||
You can play me like a fiddle
Pluck me like a banjo string
Tell me like a riddle
Wear me like a ring
You can cross me like a desert
Right me like a wrong
Catch me like a shiver
Or sing me like a song
And when another day is over
Shut me like a light
I won't be a rover
I'll stay home at night
You can spend me like an hour
Sow me like a radish seed
You can plant me like a flower
Or pull me like a weed
You can paint me like a picture
Or weave me like a rug
You can learn me like a lecture
Or salt me like a slug
You can pick me like a berry
Or play me like a child's game
You can dust me like a faerie
And say me like a name
Want you to warm me like a fire
On an Autumn night
Kiss me like a lover
And keep me burning bright
You can play me like a fiddle
Pluck me like a banjo string
You can tell me like a riddle
Just wear me like a ring

Known you for most of my life
Liked you since I was a child
And you smiled, and you smiled
Honey, you were an angel back then
Still, you're an angel right now
A flower, a flower
And I shouldn't have let you out
Out of my sight
And I don't want to let you go
Without a fight
I might wanna leave tonight
woah, woah, woah
yeah, yeah, yeah
We became very good friends
And I let my love lie deep down
It didn't make a sound
It didn't make a sound
And we moved around this big world
But you called me when you were in town
I wondered why you hung around
Why you hung around
And in the morning's soft light
Don't tell, don't tell me goodbye
I started to cry
But I won't tell, won't tell you why
Might as well been my first kiss
Cause honey I've never felt one so sweet
Hearts meet, hearts meet
I felt oceans of love crashing down
Onto a soft, sandy shore
And I want more
I want more
And in the morning's soft light
Don't tell, don't tell me goodbye
I started to cry
But I won't tell, won't tell you why
And I shouldn't have let you out
Out of my sight
And I don't want to let you go
Without a fight
I might wanna leave tonight
I might wanna leave tonight
I might wanna leave tonight
I might wanna leave tonight
woah, woah, woah
yeah, yeah, yeah,

Baby In My Mind
03:50
|
|||
Honey, I've loved you from the first time that I saw you
Where has it gone to, that old light?
Where is my baby? I don't hear from him lately
He didn't come to say goodbye
I miss your kitchen and feedin' your kittens
And puttin' on records at night
You were my home then, and now I'm just floatin'
For the moment, and makin' it through time
Well, it all changed so fast, now I'm lookin' to the past
Tryna make some sense of it so I can get over it
You weren't the sun, but you were my dearest one
A gentle rain at your window had me linger in the morn'
And, yeah, I remember all the time that I spent hurtin'
And it got so bitter as love died
But I want to remember why we were together
I just want my baby in my mind

Red Flowers
03:16

Red flowers
On a green leaf bed
In a golden meadow
With a blue sky overhead
The stars sparkle at the day
As the night's fallin'
On our little meadow
And the crickets start talkin'
About the weather...
I've loved you
For a long, long time
I don't know what to do
More to try to make you mine
You know it's a lonely night
And a blazing day
And I'm missin' the scent
Of an evening in the hay
I'm missin' the..
Red flowers
On a green leaf bed
In a golden meadow
With a blue sky overhead
The stars sparkle at the day
As the night's fallin'
On our little meadow
And the crickets start talkin'
About the weather...

Painter
03:25
|
|||
La la la la la la la la
I'm a painter and I paint with a brush
Do you think I've painted too much?
Should I take some of the paint away?
Would it make it better?
Nothing takes the paint away
But I can add a new color or texture or shape
I don't let paint go to waste
Make it something better

Darlin'
02:54
|
|||
Once you were my dream, then you came to life
Made my knees go weak when we met one night
Then I heard you speak and it felt just right
You called me "Little Darlin'"
I love your angel voice when it sings to me
And your beautiful face is so nice to see
Yet, the sweetest thing in this world to me
Is when you call me "Darlin'"
In a crowded room, you are the only one
That I can even begin to focus on
So whisper in my ear, my dear, it's all I want
To hear "Little Darlin'"
Now, I can mend the holes in your favorite shirt
I can kiss away all your pain and hurt
And I'll give you my love, baby, in return
Please just call me "Darlin'"
Cause you know I'm fallin'
When you call me "Darlin'"
When you call me "Darlin'"

I Could Cry
03:58
|

Maryland
Drivin' through Pennsylania
To me looks like a fairyland
So pretty I could paint ya
So pretty I could
I could cry
So pretty I could
I could cry
Delaware
Gets so quiet when I'm alone
Dreams and wishes stuck in my hair
Send them up as the sky turns gold
So pretty I could
I could cry
So pretty I could
I could cry
Honeybee
Flyin' flower to flower
I wish you were right here with me
'Stead of gone every hour
So lonely I could
I could cry
So lonely I could
I could cry
'Merica
Makes me want to drive by and by
I don't want to live anywhere
I just want to drive
So pretty I could cry
So pretty I could cry
So pretty I could die
So lonely I could drive

Ascension Sensual
03:35
|
|||
Holy love
That's sent down to me from Heaven above
That's floated from me on a snow white dove
To you just because.
The King honors the Queen so she knows he's the one
I feel safe
Tellin' my secrets to you in this space
I know you'll keep 'em, too. You give me faith
I needed a taste
My cup runneth over, your love satiates
Ascension sensual
Ascension sensual
I respect him
I connect him
I reflect him
I'm sensual
Sweet and sour
I wanna gather you some wildflowers
You know you have a lot of magic powers
A falling star shower
What we give each other is what isn't ours
Grandkids
We say we want a bunch of grandkids
Plannin' our gardens out and where we'll live
You gotta forgive
You know that I've loved you since I was a kid
Ascension sensual
Ascension sensual
I respect him
I connect him
I reflect him
I'm sensual

Happy Birthday
02:02
|
|||
Hey, it's my birthday, I just woke up
Ain't got no money to spend and no friends to talk to
It doesn't matter, I'll take a walk
And see the sun bounce off the rock
Hey, it's my birthday, I'm rollin' up
Ain't got no party to throw, there's air in my cup
I don't care, I'm my own crew, deep in the cut
Under the stars, I'm lookin' up
They say it's your birthday
Remember the first day
You came down to earth, babe?
When you fell, did it hurt, bae?
Even if you're homeless
Even if you're broke, bitch
We got to the same place
Big rock rollin' through space
Today is your birthday
Hey it's my birthday, I just woke up
Ain't got no money to spend and no friends to talk to
It doesn't matter, I'll take a walk
And see the sun bounce off the rock

Heartache On Heartache
02:23
|
|||
Heartache on heartache, my heart aches
How long does a broken heart take?
When can I start to feel right, babe?
After takin' everything away
I lost the diamond of the lake
Wasn't a diamond, it was fake
But I took it home
Man, did my heart start to break
How many heartaches can one take?
Heartache on heartache, my heart aches
How long does a broken heart take?
When do I start to feel better?
I'll wait, I'll wait
Patch it, trim it, treat it sweetly
Hold it in your arms
Fill it, shape it, pack it neatly
Keep it safe from harm
Trace it, cut it, place it better
Swim it in the creek
Help it, hug it, give it sweaters
Teach it how to speak
Heartache on heartache, my heart aches
How long does a broken heart take?
When can I start to feel better?
Hurry, hurry before the weather
changes again...

Lifetime
03:34
|
|||
Honey, I have
Honey, I have loved you for a long time
And I've wanted
And I've wanted to kiss you for a lifetime
Well, your voice sounds
To me like Autumn rollin' in
On the back roads
Drivin' home from one of your gigs
Little moments
Through the years stacked up in my head
If you loved me
I would die, I can't fathom it
Honey, I have
Honey, I have loved you for a long time
And I've wanted
And I've wanted to kiss you for a lifetime
If I just pray
Hard enough to the Harvest Moon
Would you throw a
Ladder up to my bedroom
Honey, I have
Honey, I have loved you for a long time
And I've wanted
And I've wanted to kiss you for a lifetime

Things I Knew Before
02:04
|
|||
I'm not gonna ask you again for your love, dear
I would never last if I stayed at your door
I'll just let it pass, try and clean out my head, here
And get back to the things I knew before
I'll not cling to you like a vine on an oak tree
I'll roll off like dew when the morning has come
If you come around, well my arms'll be open
'Til then I'll just sing my song
I'm not gonna ask you again for your love, dear
I would never last if I stayed at your door
So I'll just let it pass, try and clean out my head, here
And get back to the things I knew before
