bad bear (demo) with olivia lyon

written by Peter Rowan

You tell me you're lonely
I know how you feel
Leaning up at the bars
Rocking back on my heels
She's a wild bird that wandered
Too easy she strayed
I knew she'd have to lose me
To find her own way

Oh, Corey
I'll be coming soon
Through the Louisiana pines
To the Mississippi moon
Through the Louisiana pines
To the Mississippi moon

A wave on the ocean
A whirlwind in the sand
I took a notion
Her ship would not land
But light me a candle
In the forest so deep
Honey lay down beside me
Angels rock us to sleep

Oh, Corey
I'll be coming soon
Through the Louisiana pines
To the Mississippi moon
Through the Louisiana pines
To the Mississippi moon

You tell me you're lonely
I know how you feel
Leaning up at the bars
Rocking back on my heels
She's a wild bird that wandered
Too easy she strayed
I knew she'd have to lose me
To find her own way

Oh, Corey
I'll be coming soon
Through the Louisiana pines
To the Mississippi moon
Through the Louisiana pines
To the Mississippi moon

Mississipi Moon

Oh Sally my dear, it's you I'd be kissing
Oh Sally my dear, it's you I'd be kissing
She smiled and replied "You don't know what you're missing"

Oh Sally my dear, I wish I could wed you
Oh Sally my dear, I wish I could wed you
She smiled and replied "Then you'd say I misled you"

If all the young men were hares on the mountain
If all the young men were hares on the mountain
How many young girls would take guns and go hunting

If all the young men were fish in the water
If all the young men were fish in the water
How many young girls would undress and dive under

If the young men could sing like blackbirds and thrushes
If the young men could sing like blackbirds and thrushes
How many young girls would go beating the bushes

But the young men are given to frisking and fooling
But the young men are given to frisking and fooling
I'll leave them alone and return to my schooling

program notes:

intangible landscapes deals with the growing feelings of ennui & isolation i encounter[ed] living in nyc for the past 6 years, & how perceived landscapes of memory shift, breathe & transform over periods of time. many people i love no longer live here. is 'home' a real place? or does it exist in the quiet intimacy of remembering/experiences & ephemerality?

hey no no
when we’re alone,
you call me Peter

you say I’m out of time
don’t say things like that
don’t let me believe you wander out
like some hotel cat

maybe I’m crazy to think    a touch
means something other than love    to us
each time I venture out,
another rain pours down
frankly I’m lost in the rush

hey no no
when we’re alone,
you call me Saint Peter

you say you’re with me tonight
but don’t say it like that
don’t let me believe you wander out
without a look back

maybe I’m crazy to think    a touch
means something other than love    to us
‘cause each time I venture out,
another rain pours down
frankly I’m lost in the rush

feeling like, feeling like
nothing’s gone good in a while
I just need, I just need
you to hold me now
it’s not like that, I know, it’s not the same
just please, hon, take the pain
I can’t play any more of this game

and maybe I’m crazy to want     your trust
but everything I’ve ever wanted      I lost
please no more condition on us, my Antony
just take me to town and I’ll shut up
