Dawn

Angela

I can buy a house to fill 
With your things to keep me still
I can pray to God above
And inside, within my mind

I don’t want to be alone
I don’t want to talk about it
Sometimes I feel bad about it
I don’t want to be alone

And oh how my heart aches - oh how my heart reaches out for your affection

When the world is beautiful
When the world becomes cold
I don’t want to be alone
I don’t want to be alone

Oh how my heart aches - oh how my heart reaches out for your affection
And oh how your shadow weighs on my waiting for connection

When I’m standing on the edge 
Of the end, in the sun
I want to see you out there
Just like me: oblivious 

And oh how my heart aches - oh how my heart reaches out for connection
Oh how my heart weighs - oh how I wait for your affection

Want

I get cold on my own
Don’t have enough meat on my bones
Don’t have enough meat

When you hold me close to my bones
You warm me when I am cold
You warm me

Where do I want to go once I am free?

It is better to love in the morning, you said,
Than to hold up my head against the window and wish
Collect my dreams like this

It is better to love than to count 
All the mistakes we have made and to doubt 
The ways of your mind, waiting for a sign

Where do I want to go once I am free?

It is better to love in a war
It is better to love when you’re bored
It is better to love you more

It is better to love in a hospital bed
It is better to love than to pretend 
You can make it through unscathed until you’re dead

Where do I want to go once I am free?

I get cold on my own
Don’t have enough meat on my bones
Don’t have enough meat

When you hold me close to my bones
You warm me when I am cold
You warm me

Where do I want to go once I am free?

Meat

This world is beautiful as I have ever seen
it’s chirping in the morning, spread beneath your feet 
You look as beautiful as I have ever dreamed
you’re coming to wake me, please let me keep 

My lust for life it makes me wet
I confess

Rain rolls like down the square like sweat on a sleeping face
outside in the summertime on the wrinkles that you made walking like this

My lust for life it makes me cry
in this city so close to the sky

So you want to see the world
So you want to see the world
You want to see it do things like this 
You want to see it sleep, you want to see its mist
You want to see it break and see it take - its time

So you want to see the world
So you want to see the world
You want to see it high you want to see its light
You want to see it come you hear its hum
You want to feel its fire and hear its quiet

Even this abundance will grow tired inside of me
Even this green life will grow tired inside of me
Even this unbearable joy will grow tired in me

My lust for life it makes me wet 
And there’s rivers running down your face
in the wrinkles that you made walking like this
in the wrinkles that you made walking like this

La Abundancia

I sleep with my windows open
I sing with my eyes closed
Sometimes I lose my vision
And nobody around me knows

Come into my quiet   
There’s no one else there sometimes
Things are stuck on the windowpane
Stuck to the humid old white paint

And I can’t get you off my mind 

Come into my hiding
Everybody’s watching the same TV inside 
Come 'cause I’m a train running from the weight
Come into my making up my mind 

Come into my quiet
It’s on the road again 

But I
I’ll wait, I’ll wait for you...

Come Inside

Lyrics: 

Come from under the sky  

Into spring, if just inside  

Windows wide with the heat on high 

My devotion lies  

 

And if I stay at home 

While you fly on a trip to Rome 

Honey I am not alone 

My devotion grows          

 

Holding all the world so womanly  

Tell me how you move so freely  

  

Seek me out someone to fight 

Show me how keep my head on right 

Now open wide, your body locked into mine  

See the ocean rise   

 

Call to my enemies 

To fuck, to forgive, release 

Can you see them in me? 

My devotion bleeds  

 

Holding all the world so womanly  

Tell me how you move so free
