written and recorded and produced on my ipod touch in a hostel laundry room

I wonder why I'm even here at all
My wisdom and my candor remain deaf to my call
I sometimes feel I'm living for the ones who've left me behind
In and out of beds and lives I crawl
October it has beckoned me outside
it's wind has stained my cheeks and wet my eyes
I think about the empty feeling traveling through my bones
I think about your smile and your new home

Still, I have never felt this free
Nobody to answer to, no one to follow me
my feet have learned this city and they ask for something new
so I'll travel somewhere 'cross the lonesome sea

If I were ever to come knocking on your door
Would you ask me what I was there for?
I hope you'd just take me in your arms, and bring me to the shore
for I don't know what I do anything for
but you made me feel a way I haven't felt before

October

I fell into a rambling valley
I fell into a fickle mind
I fell into a new day,s fire
woven into rosemary and pine
and when it rose up from the ground
the blues got their free ride
I fell into the arms of strangers
I fell in love with each and every one
cold nights of velvet cloak the lonely
Oh I have only ever wanted love
and if I cannot hold it, I begin to run
there always comes a time 
when I open my eyes and realize 
there is nothing that I know
and there always comes a time
when he raises his eyes
and they say maybe it,s time for you to go
and so I go
and so it goes
I woke in the city,s autumn morning
I slept in the blue night by the sea
I walked in the forest on the mountain~
Now, there is no one near to me
Now, I have no one near to me

And So I Go, And So It Goes

Come On, Honey

So Glad You Said Goodbye

Forever Green

Ungrateful

Circles

I want to matter in somebody’s life but I can’t find a reason
Some days I want to be somebody’s wife- but it won’t last a season
I’m going down, to forage a carnival
Light & free
I’m going down
To somewhere far away from me

Take it in stride; my buggering eyes and quick turning face
In a concrete landscape there’s no glory to humble this state
I’m going down to gut with my wonderful canyon hands
I’m going down
Until I’m as tiny as sand

Could I hear a reason? Give me something to go after
I just live in the staleness that permeates pretended laughter 
I’m going down
Deeper than roots of a walnut tree
I’m going down to the place that is furthest from me
