Kairos
woke up this morning
something different in her heart
she couldn't fake it anymore
she came apart
we all need it
she drove her car into the pool
she left a crack
she called her boss and told him,
"I ain't coming back!"
we all need it
we go to school
we go as slaves
we go to work
go to our graves
she bought a ticket
to a place she'd never been
closed her eyes and whispered,
"Remember when?"
Winter
I saw a man
standing in the trees
the winter killed him
like it's killing me
I found a hatchet
waiting by the door
the hand that wields it
is the hand that goes to war
Love Falls Like Snow
what are you waiting for?
she sees the world alive
she feels it here
one road leads all the way
and love falls like snow
trees open wide to her
light grows inside
sunrise on open hearts
and love falls like snow
what are you waiting for?
one road leads all the way
and love falls like snow
what are you waiting for?
Dream Too Much
you can't go back
this is for real
I knew this would be hard
I know you so well
I knew that someday you'd change
you'd break the spell
you think too much
you want too much
you dream too much
you dream too much
I knew this could not hold
I know you too well
I knew that once you close your eyes
you're gone
you think too much
you want too much
you dream too much
you dream too much
you can't go back
this is for real
Sweet Song
something about her voice
made me laugh
something about the way she
stepped on the gas
sweet-song
memory holds me down
like autumn gray
it keeps me someplace close
yet far away
sweet-song
left turn
long road
we're on our own
radio up
windows down
lost and wind-blown
sweet-song
