More Than Me

Does the proud mountain wish

That there was someone taller he could look up to?

Does mother earth yearn

For someone to sing her a lullaby?

Does the bright blue sky feel

Someone would hold him when darkness falls?

Does the lonely wind dream

About someone fast enough to chase her?

I have pictured you, strong

Enough to mother me

I have pictured you, wise

Enough to follow me

I have pictured you, kind

Enough to make me glow

I could look after you

And you know, I would

But sometimes I shouldn't need to

I'm tired...

Are you out there?

For Now

Just bathing in the sunset

Just waiting for the sunrise

Wearing a grey dawn

Before the light wakes in your eyes

Just fishing in my pockets

Just watching the birds fly

There are keys I lost

To love I stole on the sly

Just throwing my longings

Into the blue ocean

With all my belongings

Light, I'll join you...

In the sun

People In the Grey

Some times I almost see through her

White mist between dreams dries

For a moment the sun is no more

Behind giant wings as over me she flies

Demented fairies lie still

They hate shampoo trickling down

They whisper from cracks in her lips

Why wake a slumbering ghost-town?

She reminds me of places I’ve never been

Soppy songs I’ve never liked

I’m not safe with her nor she with me

A risk she says she doesn't mind

So I soak her into my muddy socks

And taste her in stale cake

I don’t love her or like her even

But she’s a feeling I don’t want to shake
