Welcome Home

Deep down where I settle
Sediment at the bottom of your river, running wild,
Around and around.
The stars in the sky come alive in your eyes,
And I can see across the time between—
You were always by my side.

Kaleidoscope,
You’re the lens of my soul,
The fire in my cold,
The place that I call home—
You’re the place I call home.

It’s true, you see, my dear,
I’ve slipped into the deep end of your world;
Where you are is where I am.
I’m drowning in your sounds,
Your songs, your words that resonate in my mind—
Alive, I’m alive.

Asleep but now awake to your dream,
In that watercolor way you soak me into your page,
Into your page.
A dead thing come alive, come alive—
And you don’t even have to try.
You don’t even have to try.

Another song, another rhyme,
Another dulcet paradigm.
Another day, another time,
Another sign for you to find.
Maybe once in a while
You’ll hear these words I made for you,
And smile—and sing along too.

I could write a million songs, my dear,
And sing until I turn to stone;
But you—and you alone—
You’re the place I call home.
You’re the place I call my home, my home.

The Arsonists Lullaby

My cover of The Black Velvet Band by The Dubliners.

Lyrics: 

In a neat little town they called Belfast
Apprentice to trade I was bound
And many an hour sweet happiness
Have I spent in that neat little town

As sad misfortune came over me
Which caused me to stray from the land
Far away from me friends and relations
betrayed by the black velvet band

Her eyes they shown like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

I took a stroll down broadway
Meaning not long for to stay
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid
come a-traipsing along the highway

She was both fair and handsome
Her neck, it was just like a swan
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

Her eyes they shown like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
And a gentleman passing us by
Well, I knew she meant the doing of him
By the look in her roguish black eye

A gold watch she took from his pocket
And placed it right into my hand
And the very first thing that I said, was
Bad 'cess to the black velvet band

Her eyes they shown like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

Before the judge and the jury
Next morning, I had to appear
The judge, he says to me:
"Young man, you're case it is proven clear

We'll give you seven years penal servitude
To be spent far away from the land
Far away from your friends and relations
Betrayed by the black velvet band"

Her eyes they shown like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

So come all you jolly young fellows
A warning take by me
When you are out on the town, me lads
Beware of the pretty colleens

They'll feed you with strong drink, me lads
'Til you are unable to stand
And the very first thing that you'll know is
You've landed in Van Diemens Land

Her eyes they shown like diamonds
Her neck, it was just like a swan
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
