A Drink Would Do Me Wonders

Always Choose A Dreamer

I saw those kind old faces 
When they were young and impatient
When do they grow complacent  
Stop chasing broadcast images
They found their happy places   
While I beat the pavement

               
I move like the moon on a starless night
Inching like I’ll swim but I gotta stay dry              
Listening to non-believers
Trying to wake but afraid of deceivers
All the wise ones hiding some lies
I’m too hush to say I might be right        

It’s not a race but a risk point
A dive with a dark dark shape on the side                
And I think we could love that way


Every day we sit and wait    
Things fall into place    
Do we uncover what we dreamed when we were younger   

If I wait for thunder           
Will I miss the rain falling 

Lost art and beautiful people
The stories they made and the reasons they faded

Found out the hard way that I always choose a dreamer
Holding on or holding out            
Move on and don’t turn back 

How little we change afraid of what they’ll say at a send off

Was that all you could take     
Maybe next time             
Another day lost    
Did I have a shot
Or start a little too late                            

Or do we love that way

Always Choose A Dreamer

My Fragile Friend

How about lifting up the shade my most fragile friend
We’ve been waiting ‘round for chance to drop us on the same tune
Between the gaps
Before the falter
Wayward idols, misled detours and a scratch

My tasteless passions feel like old friends 
When I’m not around
To soothe the restless aches
Turning turning turning turning love away
You don’t like sentiment but I’d save you all the same

I love you like a freight train
I don’t stop and I can’t turn back
Love you like a freight train
I don’t stop and I can’t turn back

I’d like to make the world pace itself with you
I’d freeze the sunlight on the days you said the sweet things
If I could keep it that way
And keep your hearty awake

How about slipping past the fault my most fragile friend
We’ve been holding out so long
The shakedown never ends
I have nothing up my sleeve 
This time I’m spent
And need a hand up the edge

I love you like a freight train
I don’t stop and I can’t turn back
Love you like a freight train
I don’t stop and I can’t turn back

My Fragile Friend

Starling

Come with me starling 
There’s still some light 
I heard your quiet call
It woke up my mind 
Look down on the world like it’s a small toy 
You wish you could hold and spin ‘til it’s set right 
Don’t tell me it’s bad when I want to dive 
I’ve missed so many moments 
Let’s start tonight 

Come with me starling 
I’m ready to rise 
You made me roll over 
And I want to fly 
I’ve forgotten to look for the best things in life 
The love we were made for 
And not about to fight 

There’s still time before we fade 
Let me move in starling shapes 
Come with me starling 
It took a dream to see 
I could have you fly next to me 

And from the murmur 
Will grow a stream
To wash the sorrow from every street 
I can open my heart to yours 
See life through your eyes 
Let’s start tonight 

I can open my heart to yours 
With starling eyes
Let’s start tonight

Traveler (Towed By The Moon album)

"Crown Of Flowers" was inspired by a melody in a song my brother-in-law was working on, and by the legend of soul mates.  Men and women were joined in one body, and this great strength was perceived as a threat to the gods.  Rather than strike them down, Zeus split those bodies apart, and thus humans are incomplete, longing for their other halves.

Better This Time

Paint Like Pablo

She likes neglected stories 
about glovers and ghost signs and stone walls, 
glass bottles turned blue.
She holds on to daydreams
She watches faces at stop lights pass through
She likes cocktails at parties
She likes fog in the headlights and the moon in the skylight

She hides in a name
But she hopes that someday they say
Who was Aurouze

She paints pictures of women who loved more 
than they could show with words
She likes the sigh when the coffee tin is cracked
And the colors you see when you close your eyes tight
She has stories she writes after she says good night
Where heroes are fragile and love gently blows the paper thin fig leaf aside

She hides in a name 
But she hopes that someday they say
Who was Aurouze

She likes watching birds from up high
Where the granite for curbsides bakes in the sunlight
The white border on old photos
That show folks in love who still sleep tangled all night

She would jump the gulf 
If no one asked what she’s trying to prove

Aurouze
