I wrote this song thinking of a hobo, dying in an abandoned shack, reflecting on his life. Alicia is singing the back-up.

Black Moon Rising

Pushed it to the bottom of the swimming pool.Plans get fucked up, and I feel like a fool. Children talking Dinosaurs and Summer skies; Open to the impulse when I looked in Your eyes…Daughter of the Stars. Oh, how I need You. Daughter of the Stars. Hey, can I keep You? ‘Cause it don’t feel too far, When I say that I would run, The distance that the Earth lies from the Sun…To keep You. Didn’t mean to meet You, when my tears had not yet dried. Reached out to entreat You, and kept getting surprised. Now I know I need You, like a fire needs the coal; So keep me burning, Baby - You have got me heart and soul…


Daughter of the Stars

Frosty Cornfields

Gaudete Novum Diem (Rejoice, a New Day)

She lights the way
With mystery in her smile;
Lightning across the sky.
Strangers beckon
From empty fields of Rye;
Wander the earth like
Like a roving eye.
Ancient Kings
Prophets foretold;
A rose may wither in the Spring.
But I’ll keep chain-smoking
In this box car full of coal;
Hobo rambling
Looking for something.
Don’t let me down;
I may see you in this year-old magazine.
Don’t let me down;
I may hear you in this rail-car’s hissing.
Don’t let me down;
I may see you in this opium-dreaming.
Don’t let me down.


Chain-Smoking Disappointment

Timshel Cover

Scratch the Earth

Capo VI

Am                   G                         Am
Scratch the Earth, prepare to fly.
Break of Dawn, in the Robin's eye.
Hold me close, when the flame goes down,
Am                                             G                                                    Am
How could I have been so blind, and thrown away my crown?

{Am G Am Em C}

C                    G                         C
When you wake, I will be gone,
Walking the fields; the Lark has flown.
When you sleep, I will return,
C                   G                                  Am
Bright as embers, when they burn.

Touch my arm, I'm barely breathing.
Just to feel, nightmares receding;
Take the Sceptre, the Violet Gown,
How could I have been so blind, and thrown away my crown?
