Old Man River loves the Woman of the Sea  

Old Man River loves the Woman of the Sea. 
The Woman of the Sea, oh yeah.
Flowing endlessly to her.

Though she is his only goal, 
he knows he’s just a small part of her world.

The rocks and the hills told him not to go.    
Told him not to flow to her,
Said he’d be swallowed whole, whole, whole.

The skies were laughing as they watched the show,    
as they watched him flow to her,
as they watched him go, go, go, go…..

Old Man River loves the Woman of the Sea, 
the Woman of the Sea, the Woman of the Sea, oh yeah.

Old Man River loves the Woman of the Sea

Marking off the days

Frustrated and underrated, that’s how I feel.
Been so low for so long, tell me what is real.
Unwanted but undaunted, but I’m the real deal.
You got me spinning like a reel-to-reel.

I’m just marking off the days, just marking off the days.
I’ll get to you someday.

Rejected and disrespected, I got time to kill
like a fish hanging on to a rod and reel.

Why does it take so long?
When something’s good, so soon it’s gone.
Why did it take so long to sing you this song.
Going nowhere... Going nowhere...

Just living for today. No time to save.
Marking off the days
Just living for today and rushing to the grave,
But you should see me now.

Marking off the days

Steps 

Been spending most my time on my own,
thinking about you leaving.
And I don’t know what to do since you’re gone.
I guess I’ll still believe in…

Love can make you afraid,
wondering if it’s halfway.
I don’t have much to say,
but I know what you like.

Been spending most my time in the room.
I locked away my feelings,
and now I don’t know what to do.
I guess I’ll still believe in…

I kiss you. It leads to
we’re lying on the floor.
I need to see you.
You leave me wanting more.
We’d be spending all our time.
I’d be yours, and you’d be mine,
at least lately.

It's just steps...

You don’t step
You don‘t step too kind, no!

Steps

Don't slow down 

April, love in the air.
Racing home straight after school
She said, “You know we don’t have long.
They’ll soon be home!”

No! Don’t slow down.
Speed kills but boredom saps your will!

Now so many pressures.
And we’re still sneaking around!
She said, “Please, love, don’t be loud.
It took so long to put them down.”

Don’t herky-jerk.
It’s not work if you like it.

Seventeen’s a fleeting dream,
wise yet innocent.
It’s like you walk through a door
then you turn round and it is gone!

Garnet 

Like a mule beat low trying to carry the load one last time.
They beat my hide until I cried one last time.

It ain’t getting better. The ground’s getting’ wetter.
I’m gonna slip and fall trying to carry it all.

Like broke-down truck just stuck in the mud over the tires.
I’m out of gas. An empty tank from startin’ fires.

It ain’t getting better. The ground’s getting’ wetter.
I’m gonna slip and fall trying to carry it all.

I’ve been so low. Now risin’ up.
Just a garnet in the granite, yeah!

Origin 

The beginning was strange an awkward silence.
The starring of 2 people by a wishing well.
The night yet leading to anyone's guess.
A penny falls down to break the silence.
A man steps forward and says hello.
The girl leans in and comes out of her shell.
A common ground found it leads to flirtiness.
Laughter begins and there's a hope for no end.

40000 hours since I’ve been home.
A chill in the air yeah it’s getting cold.
“I’m only happy when I’m with you.”
“Wouldn’t change a thing, no matter what you do!”

Porch swings and fireflies…
The kids still playing after dark.
“A broken moon and a river forked,
But I see you and there’s still a spark.”

A common ground found it leads to flirtiness.
Laughter begins and there's a hope for no end.
And she smiles.
And he smiles.

We sit back, relax, and smile.
Kid’s asleep, but we’re in denial… that we’re alone.
Warm the room now, just me and you.
Hands locked, clenched, reembrace our mood.

A common ground found it leads to flirtiness.
Laughter begins and there's a hope for no end.
And she smiles.
And he smiles.
She don't know why.

Mysteria

Whispers and hints and accidents, 
but I can’t tell from what direction.
The sounds grow malevolento.
What’s your affliction? 
Your infection-inflection? (bolero)

Nothing to see, nothing to show.
Nothing to be, nothing to know.
Mysteria is dragging me down.
Mysteria is draining me now.

It’s all burning away in clouds of smoke: 
the streets, my days, my dreams, and my hopes.
It’s burning my eyes and making me choke, 
beating me down, frayin’ my rope (bolero, misterio)

I can’t decide what was implied: 
in bewilderment, red eyes glinted and glowed.
Bridge the divide inside, 
or a dive off a cliff, 
falling until we explode?

Forks and Spoons

Open up my eyes and see the setting moon,
roll over next to you, and start making like spoons.
Early in the day or late in afternoon,
roll over next to you, and start making like spoons.

Then we go from sweet to heat.

I know what you like: I’m gonna play your favorite tune,
roll over next to you, and start making like spoons.
Early in the day or late in afternoon,
roll over next to you, and start making like spoons.

Then we go from sweet to heat.

Don’t let me go. Don’t let me go.

And if I’m far away, just know I’ll be there soon,
roll over next to you, and start making like spoons.
Early in the day or late in afternoon,
roll over next to you, and start making like spoons.

Don’t let me go. Don’t let me go.

Forks and Spoons

Ash is a coming together song of two young people who had been there for each other time and time again. A new love forms from a strong friendship, but emotions swirl from the opinions of others. A tantrum of emotions explode vocally until the room quiets. The realization is to not pay attention to the naysayers and be of higher mind than that of the people around you. Then the love of two can outweigh the hate of others.

lyrics

I see you when you're open.
I dry you when you're down.
You and me lay coping
With closing out this town.

I can't believe this happened.
Your arm's close to mine.
I'm dreaming of the world once knew.
If you want to bring me all the privies of this time.

Dream of me when you wake.
Think of me with pride.
I'll always be in your eyes,
Even when I'm outta sight.

I dream of the loneliness that descends
When I'm without you.
I rescind everything I said.

Breathing is hard without you.
So, don't give in,
Don't give out,
And don't give up this time.

Well…
Let's drive home.
Together in this night,
I will be your light

Everyone is listening to the words you say.
They are only listening because you are dismayed.
We will come to a conclusion on our own.
Dreams of these listening will always be miss-told.

Rise above the earth and you will see…
Rise above the earth and you will breathe…
Rise above the earth and we will be…
All because
Of our love.
