There are times when I don't like this world
I wanna be alive,  I do
But somewhere else
Someplace far away in the sky
   
But the galaxy is wide and blue
I'd only last a day or two
And maybe blue ain't such a good thing 
Anyhow,  I'd be too far from you

There are things that I can overcome
Like standing when I want to run
Stayin' put is a good thing
Anyhow,  I'd be runnin' from you
              
Maybe I should write a letter, 
Tell the sky a thing or two
Or maybe I'll just be a grown up 
Find the good I'm standing next to

I'd like to take a spaceship ride
And watch the earth move out of sight
All gold and blue
My tears would dry in the sky

I'd float across the night of blue
And tumble for a mile or two
But maybe night ain't such a good time 
Anyhow, I'd be too far from you

I'd be too far from you

Lost Paradise

A powerful song about a soldier who's stationed abroad in a war stricken zone and deeply longs for his precious family as everything is now washed away and gone. The cold and dusty haze, the land that's all torn up and distraught has simply become all too much to bear.

War is never pretty and so let us give love and deep gratitude to our veterans, to the soldiers who sacrifice/d and bring great justice and freedom to all...they are also suffering tremendous mental torture...the dark remnants of what they endured is forever lingering inside them...let us help make a difference by showing our deep regard and respect...to also give love and understanding, to help them recover and feel happiness again - May this song fill everyone up with endless love and positivity - XO

Thank you so much Dear Colin for Family, this magnificent reigning work of pop-rock art...Your music is an absolute joy to me...your friendship and belief in me keep me bliss-fully-hyped-up-&-energized....My deepest heartfelt gratitude and love for all that you have given me on Milky Ocean and now on Family...I look so forward to our next songs together,  Rekha - XO-XO-XO

Family – Music & Lyrics by REKHA a.k.a. REKHA - IYERN [Fe], (Written on Feb 22nd, 2020)

My head is full of precious memories
Sweet and Dear
Where I long to be
With my family who love me
Wo-Oo, Wo-Oh, Oh-Oh  

The time has come when all is in the past
I’m finally free, free at last
Wo-Oo, Wo-Oo-Wo
No more call of special duty
For all is washed away and gone
But I am still strong
Holdin’ on, on, on  
Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh

Chorus

Family, family
How I just wanna be with my family
The one’s who’ll wait
The one’s who’ll always  
Stand by me, (Ee-Ee-Ee-Ee)

Family, my family  
(Nothing’s ever gonna break us apart)

I feel alone, so alone
In the cold and dusty haze
Far abroad in the land
All torn up and distraught
I tried so hard to help the people
I tried my best  
But couldn’t, couldn’t save them all
(Sometimes I feel so small)

Family, family
How I just wanna be with my family
The one’s who’ll wait
The one’s who’ll always  
Stand by me
Hey-Ee, Eh-Ee-Yeah
Family, my family

(Break)

I am so weak
And just need my strength
You can only get it back  
From those who truly love me  

Family, family
The one’s I love
The one’s who I want
So, so near, we’re made
Hoh-Oo, Wo-Oo, Wo-Oo, Oh-Oo-Wo

(Outro)

Family, family
Yeah-Yeah
My precious family
Precious family
Oh Yeah

Arctic Lullaby

Blow everything away

I guess I've been hopping around the Cloud long enough to be influenced by all of you. This one is pretty strongly influenced by the bucolic musings of the Cloud King, Chris Pellnat @pretentiousmusic.

From Wikipedia: "Mud daubers are not normally aggressive, but can become belligerent when threatened. Stings are uncommon." To this I can relate.

Dirt Dauber

Dirt Dauber, Dirt Dauber
There’s work to be done
There’s no time for fun
In the sun

Dirt Dauber, work harder
Your larder is bare
Nine spiders despair
When they’re stung

Jittery lady
Adobe architect 
A potter, an artist of mud

It’s all for the baby
A tinge of regret
Your life, a labor of love
 
Work faster, you master 
Of plaster matte walls
Waddle and daubing your halls
 
You flickering onyx
My spindle waste friend
Slaving away til the end

Your moment is coming
You’ve almost arrived
Your masterpiece nearly complete

All in awe we applaud
And with tears in our eyes
As you fall from the skies to our feet

Dirt Dauber, Dirt Dauber
There’s work to be done
There’s no time for fun
In the sun

Dirt Dauber, work harder
Your larder is bare
Nine spiders despair
When they’re stung

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Dirt Dauber

SOUP OF THISTLES 

Returning and turning in the widening gyre 
The falconer holds out a golden ring from the tower 
Captive and burning and full of desire 
The falcon pulls feathers from her wings to count the hours

And so
Ad infinitum 
Is the crow 
Compelled to steal
And so
Ad infinitum 
Are we drawn 
Into the wheel
Into the wheel

Turning and burning in the heat, of hearth and fire 
The feathers, the letters, the fingers form a winged spire
There’s flapping and scurrying aloft up in the rafters 
Where the bats are left to read and the finger moves on higher

And so
Ad infinitum 
We forget 
Why we were singing
And so
Ad infinitum 
The choir cannot lift the ceiling
The spinning wedding ceiling
Stealing
And so
We go

Around and around  and do it over again! 
Ad infinitum
Around and around  and do it over again! 
Ad infinitum

Returning and turning in the widening gyre 
Unseen by the hawk was Icarus flying higher
Why do we love when we know it’s trespassing
A puppet heart managed by the clock – foolish arms flailing

And so
Ad infinitum 
We watch for 
Six jet planes’ trails
And so
We prepare  our soup of thistles
And we settle down to feather 
And we wonder about the weather
Listen for the 
Falcons' bells together and
Cover our eyes with leather
Oh Icarus dear boy
Waxed and waned
Ah Amelia dear heart
Tarred and feathered...
