NewMEXloveSONGforSUMMER

breath of a new morning cloudy old reminders
snow fell on my summer
my memories they all melt together
I thought my love was sleeping
I thought the earth was all
smiling just for facing leaving just a
nothing at all
there's a theory that what's lost to you is
only lost forever then never ever ever
shows its face again
this place deserves a song smiling always on yr face
who will love to understand?
who will run the human race?
see how our age is dead hear how the glory is gone
certainly the old & dying can see now how the
new must be born must be borne
let the ones who would make us cheap
take themselves out of the way
& never ever ever ever...
now that yr fancy free tell me the road to take
when you get ripped apart
would you like it done to you by love or hate?
where are we going to go? what are we going to be?
you told me I was missing then you looked a lot
like me a lot like me
there's a theory....

I Lost My Ring
02:34
|

I lost my ring owed to a memory
the wonderfullest thing the soul to keep her, see
who am I? no one you would believe
boots of elvin kind head full of silver leaves
lashed to orbits lashed to sea
our song could not be heard
we floated around as wonders
stolen from the earth
silly me await on a light out of the east
the pretty pieces lost a beautiful girl from the mid-west
who am I? wouldn't you love to know?
from yr cold green eyes down to yr feet below
lashed to orbits lashed to see
our song could not be heard
we floated around as wonders
stolen from the earth
I lost my ring ode to a memory
the wonderfullest thing the soul to keep her see
who am I? something the wind swept away
when the world got lost & left for another day.

emma with yr golden light dancing on my tongue
the ship of me is old as heaven the song forever young
will I find you? will I find you now?
sister sister in the meadow tell me what you see
if you don't get humble from the flower
you'll get it from the bee
will you find me? will you find me now?
mirror mirror on the wall what was that you said?
'the prettiest face in all the world
is there inside your head.'
will I? will you?

when it's over
04:24
|
|||
Day once dawned, a steeple bell, one for heaven two for hell
A spoon full of sugar to butterflied us all
Through the body's port of call
When it's over we swear it can't be over
Cuz nothing really changes at all
New York City your Fingertips
Down New Orleans cold dip-stick
California back against the wall
Watch me jump & leave you all
When it's over we swear it can't be over
Cuz nothing really changes at all
All I see is Possibility
Stony to the Heart of us All
A big Mouth Lucky Hands
Born to laugh & make a scene
A Talking Bush & Golden Calves
We die for what we could not have
When it's over we swear it can't be over
Cuz nothing really changes at all
All I see is Possibility
Stony to the Heart of us All
Day once Dawned a Pool of Need
When I could not feel me Bleed
You held my head all through the night
Now as free as Morning Light
When it's over we swear it can't be over
Cuz nothing really changes at all
All I see is Possibility
Stony to the Heart of us All
Kiss me Lulu Kiss me Again
May we meet so happy when
The World is clover & Love reminds us all
You so pretty Me so tall

I was a Flower & I dreamed I saw the human race turned to dust
I was pleased to meet you No & Yes I never was
Where are you now my Angel running after me
I am lost & lost is everything to me
I was a Flower I was licking patience from the ground
& I watched the Heavens create the Earth fro continuous sound
Where are you now my Angel running after me
I am gone & gone is everything to me
When you Awake you will forget you ever were
When you Awake will you forget you dreamed of what you were
Meant to be
Now with my soul-bright lover
I turned half a man the other half a singing tree
Where are you now my Angel running after me
I am lost & lost is everything to me

Here comes Spring beginner's Luck
to dance on Winter's 'what the fuck?'
& where it's Sweetest there I'll suck
O SpringTime Lallee-lallee-lay
See my Loves blown far & wide
a Paradise to jump & hide

SpringTime lallee-lallee-lay
& Blow you old North Wind again

Blow my angry birds & bees
old deluded Memories
& make a Good thing out of me
O SpringTime...

High above where Sorrow flies
that RainCloud with 1000 eyes
our Endless spinning Lulla-bye
O SpringTime...
Long ago a Fairy's Feat
when Wishes still brought something Sweet
you Dissapeared now I believe in
SpringTime....

your summer dress
04:20
|
|||
around here nothing stays the same
we don't waste words we know everyone's to blame
oceans full of golden wishes
mouths full of old delicious
hang on to yr dreams my love
morning clear are you just another dream
too big for words? let my words bust out the seams
say a prayer for dearly misses
who fiddled while you licked the dishes
hang on to yr dreams...
my silly dog is sleeping in the street
yr summer dress is sweet enough to eat
you know I want to live to see it
I give advice but don't believe it
hang on to yr dreams...
mother dear let me hold the tune
who dear to us wouldn't leave too soon?
where to go when no one calls you
& all this murder just appalls you
hang on to yr dreams my love.

yourRIDDLE
03:10
|
|||
it's wet & grey outside
& if I ignore the mountains so amazing
it kind of looks like England staring out yr window
all riddles all bets aside
yr vision just too bright to see
when fear had come to stay
& all I knew of magic was this song
& not one single hair of us is out of place
all visions all bets aside
yr riddle just too bright to see
you went out to fix the world
screaming like a child who would believe
it's stunning to be open seen & not heard?
& I, well...where was I?
lost inside a morning's bell I lied
unable to be broken unable to set free
all visions...
& now I want to flower
& now I want to open every door
don't want top be no hippy sleeping on yr floor
all riddles

what else is new?
04:29
|
|||
I'm high as a kite I'm buzzing like a bee
there's flowers on yr cherry tree
so come out sister & play with me
when nobody knows what is going to be
why is that still so hard to see?
I'm a thousand miles away what else is new?
it's the same old stars the same old moon
& I wish I could be there to see you through
but everything comes slow, so slow to me
why is that still so hard to see?
Mariah had to tell you the world's no fair
it's the world we made the world we have to share
& our masters gone away & I don't care
we try like hell to set the other free
why is that still so hard to see?

hear my fluttering worn song of the other
who dares to make no difference over & over
I'll be yr butterfly floating on the sea
won't you run away with me?
now 25,000 hungry march on bunker hill
to complicate the masters & liberate the still
waiting on the brave waiting on the free
won't you?...
'twas a red, white & blue day with everything complete
the houses the churches the middle of the street
but we couldn't eat yr kingdom or yr slavery
won't you?...
& the air was getting caustic & freedom was a fable
& fate got so pissed off at us I hid beneath the table
then I flew out of yr whispers & yr misery
won't you?...
& the crowned king of america
was caught without his pants
& was stomped to death by song & dance
you told me this was my land & so I did believe
won't you?...
& that's the way the wind blows
& disappears all our traces
& wipes out all our footprints
& blows off all our faces
now I'm blind sister blind & everything's in my mind
won't you?...
hear my fluttering...

love song for the fall
02:47
|
|||
There was a night I was so sad &
Lost inside my head
I stumbled through your doorway &
Crawled inside your bed
Crawled inside your bed
Now Molly is a friend of mine
Her lips are cherry red
I went to her for endless nights
She gave me light instead
Gave me Light instead
Now all the birds of SummerTime are gone & flown home
& All of us just follow them after
Floating off alone
Money in my Summertime
Money in my bed
Take a seed from your red Flower
& plant it in my head
Plant it in my Head
& All the World is Beautiful
& You are in the World
If Jesus Christ gave me one wish
I'd fill the world with girls
Fill the World with girls
Now all the birds of SummerTime are gone & flown home
& All of us just follow them after
Floating off alone
There was a day I was so Sad
& Everything was lost
I found you by the water's side
In the trees behind your house
Trees behind your house

love song for cella
08:35
|
|||
there you are with the world inside you
spinning like a temple bell
striped like rings around the moon
a kiss that stirred the stars to tell
in this heaven that we breathe
through this hell of make believe
I was there I watched you dance
I heard the sea call out yr name
would I love another chance
to find you home & play yr game
we cannot touch or so it seems
we teach each other how to dream
don't listen to the world go in go in
don't settle for pretend go in go in
you are my joy to sing
we don't prove anything
I hid beneath the organ's cry
& slept beneath yr mystery
I woke up laughing then goodbye
& watched the world return to me
say yr prayers & don't ask why
we teach each other how to cry
don't listen to the world...
it's raining now I'm singing to the birds
I want yr wishes to come true
I know that you hear every word
I'd like to bring this rain to you
make yr wishes on the sea
we are what we've never seen
don't listen to the world...
