I wish I was a cloud Floating high above the ocean I wish I was the ocean Indigo blanket for the land I wish that I was solid as the land That I could hold it all inside my hand And give you something stable you can stand on now Every once in a while I know it's coming for me, but What can I do about it You'll find me in my Manresa dream Blown from the open hand Sliding into the blue Blue light swallowing the shoreline Ursala moon It's so nice to be unknown Let the tide remove my trace And it's nice to be a clean wave Nothing hidden on my face It feels alright in this rip tide fantasy Floating lost in the amaranthine breeze With you are lying here next to me Even though it might be coming down I know it's coming for me, but What can I do about it You can find me in my Manresa dream Blown from the open hand Sliding into the blue Blue light swallowing the shoreline Ursala moon

Gold Leaf 04:57
Gold leaf You been lost inside The palace of your mind But you forgot about the outside The enchantment of Gold leaf Lifted up by the swarm Into the infinite more More, always more Through a thousand doors Gold leaf Don’t keep your head in the clouds Come find me I’m waiting on the other side There’s a gap in the shroud Let go of the stone, and wait for the sound Let go of the stone, and wait for the sound The deeper you go, the further the ground

Heron 03:54
High on a limestone bluff Hiding deep in the ground Iceplant covered up the mouth Of cavern pools you had not found You still had time Pulled back the vines Was it what you had in mind? Will you ever know? You still have time Pull back the vines Will it be what you had in mind? Here and there The grey-blue heron Watching in a fog Patient in the shallows Below the silver moss And I’ll be that stream of waiting I will be among the reeds Among the argent minnows waving And the frogs on which you feed

Tangerine 04:03
Break it off Tangerine You been hanging up there long enough Time to find a new scene I know it aches To see the passing of an age Green waking gold in the glade I know it’s tough Man, the fall can get so rough But Tan, it is time for the break Blushing violet dawn Poppy pedals drawn Yellow jacket waking in the fog Tangerine What could you be? Let the cool rush take you Down into a new dream Don’t be afraid Though the frost is on the sage Now it is time for the break Green reaches gold in the glade
7.
Sweet Tooth 03:25
Figs in the sunlight Falling on the grass, bats in the pine Waiting for the twilight, staying alive Blade of the evening Green flash, shadow when the moth arrives And I hear you walking up the drive Gliding thru the half light Your echo breaks like a new cut tooth Eyes glowing at the edge of the lawn Craving to be let loose Leave the window wide Lie on the roof In the brazen night Defiant blooms We let it pull us through Heat of the daytime Held in the ground And then cut loose Fruit on the pavement, bat in the sky Diving at the right time Gliding thru the half light You echo breaks like a new cut tooth Moth clinging to a false moon's honey The pleasure of the consumed In a half light trance It’s changing every chance it gets Eyes roving at the edge of the lawn Ravenous without regret Leave the window wide Lie on the roof In the brazen night Defiant bloom
8.
Tangled in the sheets Wide awake at night Answer incomplete Everything is fine Water in the sink Comfort in the white noise Rinse away the details Think it will be alright Everything is fine Everything is fine

Green Glass 05:00
Holding nothing Floating away A chimeric image Caught in a haze But just try to relax You have been here before Close your eyes Let yourself find the floor You tell it all to strangers When your alone at the bar Not afraid to make the changes To find out what you are When none of it follows Pageant queen Feel the fantasy Make a transformation And then ride in on a cloud Now you’re never alone On this pedal covered float Waving roses Along with the crowd Find your own reflection On the surface of a hidden lagoon Could it be a revelation Or is it nothing new? Either way, it’s only you Floating on green glass Skin can soften Unshape the fountain You have nothing to prove Break all the prizes Why don’t you pry off the lid And let it live on the fringe Where the arm’s untwisted There’s no invisible hand Show whatever you want No more light only seen thru folded eyes
