Wrist / Wings of the Night All I can hear are the bells chiming. All I can see are the lights of fireflies on the wings of the night. All I can smell is the juniper on your wrist. All I can taste is the apple on your lips. All I can feel is your hand in mine.

Moon Eyes 03:35
Moon Eyes That big old moon ain't goin' nowhere, Wolves are gonna howl no matter what you do. Valleys don't take from the peak, they lead. How holy is that golden thread Looped between our hearts, Strung between you and me. So strong, that line goes on. So wild, that ride we're on. So bright, that light's shining on. So true, for a while was me and you. Only light is going to show you where, And only love is going to take you there.

California Calling So long friend, California begins. Forget me not, you're all in my heart. Can you feel it calling for you the way it called on me back then, and for now? And what says who and how the light's shining on now? Who decides? Because it ain't me and it just ain't you. - Thought I saw you on the boulevard last night. Turns out, it was another beautiful one.

Seems Poem 06:25
Seems Poem So what if I'm one by day and another by night. You don't ask the sky Hey, why are you blue, or what the ocean does to the shore? I know there's a reason why, it's particles in the sky and what the whole ocean's doing. But it doesn't matter, not all things need a reason why, they are just what they are. I'm singing folks now. I'm a kind-of singer now, because whatever's coming my way is coming my way. And I let it all in and I let it all out and I live with and I live without. And you're up on the mountain now, on the mountain now, and I hope you never come down even when you do, so you can stay in that space with the light shining on you. We've known love, and we have love, and we're full of it. So much now to give, so open up your heart and let it in. Seems we all know about that grit and grime sometimes. And that, too, will pass, just give it some time. It takes all these points to make up a line. I'm drawing mine, here working on a dream. On and on, on a dream.

United by Dreams That dream is yours, and this one is mine. We're dreaming all the time. In there I see you, beaming through green and blue. As we go we go toward you. For what are we and who are you and how's anybody to know? Still, some things we don't catch, we never do. It goes on and on. - How far and how long. I feel that pull, so strong. Wrote your name in the sand, hundreds of feet long. I write it on and on. Only going to the mountain top, I want so bad to know what's there to be got. And what's my name, and what's my place, Where do I belong?

Whom 05:42
Whom Oh my hands, they're small but my own. Oh my feet, they're like one then the other. Oh my eyes, they're wide. Oh my sea, it's crashing over me crushing old me. All swept up in one big gust of wind, Oh my land, it's a guiding hand. Oh my city, it's humming and gleaming. Everybody's buzzing talking who they was and whom they're busy becoming. We're all stone raising, big blue gazing stick poking moss cloaking dusk glowing all knowing.
