Carry On

OAK - The Love Is There

OAK - Run

This song was written 45 years ago and newly rediscovered on a cassette. I wrote this with Richard Putnam and my sister, Linda Jorgensen; it tells the story of a soldier and his true love spending one last night together before he is called to serve. It was originally written as a solo song, but I thought it would make an emotional duet, and I updated the lyric accordingly.  We finished recording it yesterday: Richard Putnam is on piano and Janice Agle and I are singing.

Lamp In Your Window

01 Coming For You

LYRICS

Pale sun on an August sea
Now the picture’s fading from your bedroom wall
Black mirror watches while you sleep
Yellow dress on the floor

Cold nights are drawing in again
Another future’s left with the summer it seems
Dark clouds still haunt the little boy
In the quiet of his dreams

Oh I know that your lover broke your heart
Oh I know that you feel all alone
And I know that the world’s got no use for us
And that all this’ll go

Don’t walk, don’t walk the red man’s flashing still
Cold rain runs in rivers down your neck
Dead leaves, dead leaves choke the iron grills
That summer’s never coming back

Dead Leaves

LYRICS

Had a dream last night 
that we were birds and we could fly 
above the bright white clouds 
in your felt-tip sky

And the fields far below
were gold and green as the sun sank low 
behind the zigzag mountains
that you drew in the snow

And we sat on the lollipop trees
kissed the summer breeze
blowing from the oceans far away
painted on the sand 
the universe held in your hands 
for the first time

If the colours in your pen 
could draw the world anew and then 
we could live there as stickpeople 
and feel whole again

We’d run into the streams 
swim through our dreams 
and we’d sail upon the oceans far away
build houses on the sand 
made of matchsticks in our hands 
for the first time

And I’ll meet you in my dreams 
your watercolour scenes
and we’ll fly above the houses 
far away

Stickfigure Dreams

~ Lyrics:

There will come a time
When the walls you try to climb
Will be cast into the sea
But how many bodies in the sand
Will it take to understand
They're just like you and me?

Their blood is red
Well, cut your hand
And tell me what you find
Their blood is red
Just like mine

The rivers of blood
Know not the bodies from
Which surged the crimson flood
Nor their hearts which beat and loved
In the lands they're running from
Their homes once whole now torn
The lines that you draw will haunt you
The lines that you draw will haunt you

Their blood is red
Well, cut your hand
And tell me what you find
Their blood is red
Just like mine

Brother, do you notice?
Sister, do you feel?
Tell me if you know 
This is real
Cause I've been dreaming of the water
It's been haunting me for days
And while you're busy with your borders
I'm lost in the waves

Their blood is red
Well, cut your hand
And tell me what you find
Their blood is red
Just like mine
