A love song about a cookie. 

LYRICS:
Where have you gone?
I can't be sure of you anymore.
I'm glued to the floor,
Licking the crumbs that you left by the door.

I'm going through hell, 
And my pantry is vacant - I've emptied the shelves
To find you at the end of it all,
But I've just grown heavy, to brace for the fall.

Madeleine, where have you gone?
Where have you been?
Madeleine, are you going it alone?
Are you at it again?

Have you followed your dreams?
Are you more than these weary eyes could see?
Are you saving the world?
Is there any of you left for me?

Madeleine, where have you gone?
Where have you been?
Madeleine, Are they still making you?
Are they still breaking you to their whim?

Madeleine - I loved you just as you were.
So tender and pure,
Come home to me me, Madeleine

Madeleine

Probably the only song I'll directly write for someone. Until the next one, of course. 

LYRICS:
Your legs - they aimlessly wander in the night,
And find themselves on mine, taking in the view.
Though I'm left with mere inches to sleep,
Our limbs are entangled, but I sleep just fine.
For the way that you smile from the corners of your lips, 
Your dimples come out, with your nostrils flared high.
Somehow I find it to be something I would miss,
If your legs weren't resting on mine.

So I'll stay with you as far as you
Despite this loss of feeling in my toes.
I'll walk with you as long as I can stand.
My heart will be steady, carried in your hands.

Your eyelids persistently pose for the camera,
Fluttering silently, yet perfectly timed.
Your little dances are silly, but far from benign,
Betraying a charm in your thighs.
And how, how can I resist this future you've sketched -
A tapestry vocal and alive?
Somehow I find it to be something I would miss
If your eyes always opened at the perfect times.

So I'll stay with you as far as you go
In spite of all these pictures with our eyes closed.
I'll walk with you as long as I can stand.
My heart will be steady, carried in your hands.

And when those hands are no longer steady,
We'll live as we always have -
Our crinkly grey hair, covering our faces;
Limbs, still intertwined.

So I'll stay with you as far as you
Even when we're old and we're walking slow.
I'll walk with you as long as I can.
My heart will be steady, carried in your hands.


Steady

A sleepy, sleep song! 

LYRICS:
I know you are scared. I know you feel unprepared
For that darkness that hides the unknown.
But even the darkest of nights can't quite compare
When you're sleeping safely at home.

There are places to go, people to see,
Whole worlds to uncover in your dreams.
There are castles and dragons, farmers and wagons,
Anything can happen if you will it to be.

So fly, fly away;
Leave behind the cares of yesterday.
Fly high, my dear;
Dream whatever you can dream - I'll be right here.

In that far-off land, you might find yourself just as lost,
But hold on to my voice - I'll lead you home at any cost.
Wherever you go, whoever you see,
Whatever you find there in your dreams,
We'll fend off those dragons, ride in those wagons.
Whatever happens, It'll be you and me.

So fly, fly away;
Leave behind the cares of yesterday.
Fly high, my dear;
Dream whatever you can dream - I'll be right here.

When your strength has all but left you,
However long your love's overdue,
Even as you grow grey and old,
My love will carry you. 

So fly, fly away;
Leave behind the cares of yesterday.
Fly high, my dear;
Dream whatever you can dream - I'll be right here.

The Lullaby

LYRICS:
To the foolish eye, she was just a girl,
Playing much as girls do.
Still a child, dreaming of her own world,
Scorned by those weary old fools.

She took breath after breath,
But the world hardly gave a damn.
She had a vision, secretly kept in.
She whispered I am, I am.

I am a queen. I live in a mansion.
I am a crown, but also other things.
History's mine, and I its captain.
I'm there in the books, in the lines in between.

To his foolish eyes, she was just a girl,
Playing as girls do. 
Forever a child, her youth overdue,
And he was a man with much to prove.

She gave him breath after breath.
Though he listened, he never heard a damn.
She had a vision, now hastily kept in.
It whispered I am, I am.

I am a laugh, I know it's hardly worth mention.
But my love is still love, and also many other things.
I'm not just the dance - I am the question
You could spend your whole life answering.

And she laughed. Oh she laughed. Oh she laughed. 

She lived a life filled with childish ambition.
She gave her love, and many, many other things.
Always a child, but the world was her vision,
Captive in her heart strings. 

The Question

Jane came by, wearing that dress, and her intentions.
Her eyes spoke trouble first, but mine were weak to their suggestions.

My friend I'm sorry I'm a thief. 
But when I saw her on the roof, I knew my sword would not be sheathed, and here we are -
The culprit and the casualty, the fox and his enemy.

And Jane, she came with a lock of her hair.
She told me to keep it for her.
She promised me you wouldn't care,
So I gave her mine.

Her eyes claimed fragile truths, but within her noose they were hanging.
Jane and I we built our lies, and the vagrant died in that building. 

My friend, I know I'm on the edge. 
But when I saw her on the roof, I knew I'd build it 'til the end, and now we're done -
A lover and his victim, sore from wrecked conviction.

Oh and Jane she came with a lock of her hair.
She told me to keep it for her. 
She promised me you wouldn't care,
So I gave her mine.

Oh and Jane, she told me she'd always be mine,
that this was a victimless crime, 
But her secrets stayed hidden in mine. 
Oh Jane, oh Jane.

Dear L., 
It took me some years to respond, but the coward is finally gone. I hope you and Jane have moved on, and I'm sorry. 
Sincerely, 
Your Gypsy Thief


Dear Leonard

It's late and we're alone
We walk by the boats and we watch them go
and shiver from the cold
You take me to your loft, 
where I meet some of your friends
We played cards on your bed
But I stayed 'til the end

And whether it's evening or morning I can't say
But I'd rather the hour not turn either way

I know I'm not who you're looking for
I'm not well-versed in metaphors or the classics
So if my words seem forced
Let's drink 'til they're warm
And you can count on my love for now

We pass drinks in the car, then go out the bars
And your make-up is smudged on my jacket
The deacons called us sinners
And perhaps the ice has been thinner lately
But to swim's our only tactic

My conscience was killed by that first gin and soda
But I'd rather drown here than try to start over

I know I'm not who you're looking for 
And romance, well I could use some more
I'm no Cyrano
And if it's beauty and sin, let's let them on in
So just count on them for now

Our friends must think us insane
I don't know what this is
But I need it all the same

I know I'm not who you're looking for
But please don't close this door
And when it's all said and done
You can find the right one
But please. Don't. For now.


For Now

This one's a little different.

LYRICS
She was a kite, and good company
So I tethered her tightly to me
To keep her from flying too high
But still she climbed 
Though her home I still claimed to be  

She rolled like a cloud through the sky
I thought she would always be mine
But she chased the wind where it blew
And it led her to you 
She bathed in your buttery light

CHORUS
But she'll never reach the moon
No she'll never reach the moon
One days she'll understand
That I'm her best chance
To fly closer to you 

One day she severed the string
And I found her on a lake of water thick and silvery
She had spotted the moon, 
That dark night in june,
And fell victim to your tantric trickery

So I carried her home carefully
Though she woke, her eyes stared at me vacantly
Though my love is her crutch,
Still I love her so much
And I'll follow her wherever she'll be

[CHORUS]

Climb high, climb high...

[CHORUS]

The Kite And The Moon

LYRICS
Drink away all that you're not
Shed all the lies you were taught
Just let me keep what you can't see

Live all the lives that you want to 
Chase down the time 'til it haunts you
Just slow down when you get to me

I wish I could hold you now
But still you're so far somehow
But I'll be the first one to greet you

Live yourself black and blue
Still I'll live myself back to you
And I'll be the first one to meet you

Live all your years while you're young
Whisper your heart through your tongue
But save me seconds you don't need

Cast all your fears with the fables
And dance with me while you're able
Slow down 'til you get to me

I wish I could hold you close 
You're more than a picture and a pose
And I'll be the first one to see you

Paint yourself black and blue
Hide in a sweet perfume
But leave me some space beneath you

You're still so far, so far
Still so far
Still so far, still so far
So far

I wish I could hold you now
But still you're so far somehow
But I'll be the first one to greet you

Live yourself black and blue
Still I'll live myself back to you
And I'll be the first one to meet you

Black and Blue
