Fences

I’ve been working on myself
and I’ve been digging the yard
justifying fences
For my privacy
I’ve been talking to myself
making up words as I go
improvising loving you
in my clothes
So many songs I sung are gone for good
I wonder where they went and if those fools are waiting to be heard
I’ve been looking for a stone
to kick along a country road
timing perfectly my step
so it meets my toe
So many songs I sung are gone for good
I wonder where they went and if those fools are waiting to be heard
Yet everything is here
It’s only fear that jerks my knee
and little did I know the songs were for me
You’ve been wishing on a Star
and you’ve been pushing at my door
hesitating just enough
to miss me wholly full of love
So many songs I sung are gone for good
I wonder where they went and if those fools are waiting to be heard
Yet everything is here
It’s only fear that jerks my knee
and little did I know all along the fool was me
Please, wait a little longer
Baby, this song’s for me

I Want To Know You

I can feel you inside
like your body is mine
Where do I end and you begin
I can hear you in my mind
laughing boldly like a child
purity of heart can never hide
I wanna know you, wanna know you like the bottle knows the wine
I wanna know you, wanna know you like the silver knows the dime
I wanna know you, wanna know you like the phases of the moon knows time
Fleeting things come and go
Words and breath we try to hold
Memories of hunger, days of gold
I’m not one for steel and stone
Give me love, I’ll make a home
Better to feel cold than not at all
I wanna know you, wanna know you like the bottle knows the wine.
I wanna know you, wanna know you like the silver knows the dime.
I wanna know you, wanna know you like the phases of the moon knows
Time, time, is on our side
Time is now, now is whatcha got for a life
We’re livin’ on love babe
We must be doing something’ right
There is more than we know
If we want to we can go
further than, deeper than the river flows
Throw yourself to the sea
Drown your fear and agony
Let it be me, let it be me you dream
I wanna know you, wanna know you like the bottle knows the wine
I wanna know you, wanna know you like the silver knows the dime
I wanna know you, wanna know you like the phases of the moon knows time

Move Me
04:49

You wear the moonlight on your face like a lotus wears a drop of rain
Your fingers glide across my brow and I will never be the same again
Your hungry eyes dig into me, I want to give you everything
but the moment swells and overflows and everything is dripping on the floor
You move me
up, down
you move me.
Have you got someone to hold you
You are the one I dreamed, but why
Don’t you know this veil is torn
and I can see
You broke me wide open
You lean into the wind and keep going
and I will never forget
how you burn inside to be free
I never mean to push or pull, I’m just holding on so I don’t fall
Who knew that loving could mean leaving and that nothing was the hardest thing of all
You move me
in, out
you move me
Have you got someone to hold you
You are the one I dreamed, what now
We both know this veil is torn
and we can see
You broke me wide open
You lean into the wind and keep going
and I will never forget
how you burn inside to be free
A tethered wing is just the thing to keep a girl your very own
until of course she realizes that her legs are just as strong

Skin

I believe in feeling things hard though
sometimes I come apart, and
I believe in all of my reasons until
reason leaves me for love
You know where the key is
Come on by if you can ‘cause there’s
nothing quite like the
slip of your hand and the
cool night on your skin
I believe in simple pleasures, the
kind I don’t miss when they’re gone
I can see you are anything but simple, but your
pleasure keeps me hanging on
You know where the key is
Come on by if you can ‘cause there’s
nothing quite like the
slip of your hand and the
cool night on your skin
I believe in letting go
just not now, just not you
I can see what really never ends is the
coming and the going again
You know where the key is
Come on by if you can, ‘cause there’s
nothing quite like the
slip of your hand and the
cool night on your skin, there’
nothing quite like the
slip of your hand, and the
cool night on your skin
