This Way

You don't ask about my day anymore
Just another problem that fell on my backdoor
Did you think we would ever be the same
Did ya think? What was your aim?
How do we feel when the well is cold today?
It can't be better off this
Way
It can't be better off this
When's the last time we said, "Hello my friend"
Did you already know what's happened since then
I do shrug when your concerns slip past the tongue
For I may be down and out but we both lost the sun
How do we move when the well is poisoned today
It can't be better off this
I'm thankful for the time we shared
You'll always have a home in my heart
And deep down we have to get better
But it'll be on my own time I start
It can't be better off this way...

Mermaids

Was alone on the shore, or so I thought
Hey, Have you been watching me long as you yank my line taught
Just fishing for food at the edge of the bay
when you jumped outta the waves I had to say "AGH"
I never believed in mermaids
I never believed in mermaids
I never believed in mermaids
I never believed in mermaids
Until I saw you
There are plenty of fish in the sea
None of them ever pulled on my strings before
Thought I had it rough casting my line from atop a bluff
Couldn't make the call when enoughs enough enough enough enough enough
Gotta admit I was awe struck
Then you asked me my name I did the same and
The say the rest is history
I never believed in mermaids
I never believed in mermaids
I never believed in mermaids...
Until I saw you

All the time you were wasting (For something else)
Hopping trains and living some dream (Your family pays you well)
Must be nice to always have it work out
Without trying or thinking for yourself
I'm sure you found my friend
And you ran because this wasn't where you'd begin
Helping those who have cared
About you and your next fix
We don't need you here anymore
We don't need you here anymore
We don't need you here anymore
We don't need you here anymore
I gave you time to make a plan (What did you do)
Even offered you a place to stay (What did you do)
But you soiled the very bed she would lay (What did you do)
Couldn't even take care of her or your own babies
So I found an old dog a new home (What did you do)
Told you to pack your bag and hit the road (What did you do)
Because I wasn't gunna spend another month or day
Watching you waste away on my dead roommates couch
I'm sure you had a tough time
But its too late for you to realize
You're not the only one who has cried
Still you're leaving this house, goodbye
And Good riddence
We don't need you here anymore
We don't need you here anymore....

Catch Lightning
03:31
|

|
Touch of an angel on my skin the
Leaves fall to the ground
Wind blows your hair under my chin
Our breath is a sacred sound
Something in the way you hold my hand it
Pulls me right around
Celestial Flash in the pan now
We're tumbling down
I'm looking for the right thing
I'm looking to catch lightning
I'm looking for the right thing
I'm looking to catch lightning
Scent of a lover on my neck
Is bliss for a time
'Till I turn on the lights and find
What's been missing all my life
It hurts to see you walk away
but I appreciate a new point of view
I've been looking for something meaningful
I'm glad you found me and I found you
I'm looking for the right thing
I'm looking to catch lightning...

Sunflower on Black Mountain why the long face
You rest easy in this beautiful space
Rain or shine you catch the view
Rain or shine why stay blue
you betta
Treat yourself while the rose is in bloom
Treat yourself to a few laughs and good food
Treat yourself and enjoy something new
Treat yourself because this I owe you
This I owe you
Sunflower sitting pretty on Sacred Lake
Listen to that breeze hear it call out your name
I hear it too, there's nothing to worry
I hear it too, though history is blurry
you betta
Treat yourselves while the rose is in bloom
Treat yourself and howl at the moon
Treat yourselves while the sky changes hue
Treat yourself because this world don't know you
This world don't know you
Sunflower rest easy on the top of the hill
On this path I remember every rock twig and step
You were the youngest and still you got ill
So I won't rest until these bones lay still
These bones lay still
I betta
Treat myself while the rose is in bloom
Treat myself to all the birds singin tunes
Treat myself and smile at doom
Treat myself because this I owe you
This I owe you

Change Me

For what's it worth
I've had a good time
The ebb and flow of it all was peace of mind
Only the best
Do I wish you well
The clock struck midnight its good news sweet summertime belle
ooo
So much I've grown
This is what we have to show
Stronger better
than we have been so far
But we could be just old plants needing bigger pots
I would see your hand in mine give you more of what i've got
Wherever you go you should know you changed me
Wherever you go you should know you changed me
We don't always get to see the moments made
How we impact others along the way
How we left our marks on our soul
I'm tryin hard to open up and finally be whole
Wherever you go you should know you changed me
Wherever you go you should know you changed me
Wherever you go you should know you changed me
Wherever you go you should know you changed me....

Singer songwriter in Burlington, VT.
"I can imagine a scenario in which I find myself being
tortured by the CIA and the waterboarding just ain't cutting it. All they'd have to do is play "Mermaids" on repeat, and I'd admit to faking the moon landing — anything to make this song stop. "- Seven Days
