Tanager 04:00
Tanager Become, who you crave Embolden, to be free Follow, so to lead so you can Be the friend you need Behold, to be seen Listen to be heard share your heart so all your friends will hang on every word A blaze of red In the maple stand Solitary Tanager Help me understand I spy you now in my tree You hold a secret to a mystery that's eluding me *I got an itch that's only scratched, when I scratch you My heartache, is only eased when I love you I've got a wound, that only heals, when I heal you vision, only true, through the lens of you The secret to possession is to give it all away Behold the scarlet tanager your maple stand will stay I spy you now in my tree you hold a Secret to a mystery that's been eluding me I got a life, That's only lived, when lived for you I got a trail, that's only blazed, when walked with you I've got a song, that's only heard, when sung for you And a flower, only blooms in the sun of you Solo: I got a life, That's only lived, if lived for you I got a trail, that's only blazed, if walked with you The secret to possession is to give it all away Behold the scarlet tanager upon you maple stand will stay I spy you now in my tree you hold the Secret to a mystery that's eluding me I got a life, That's only lived, if lived for you I got a trail, that's only blazed, if walked with you I've got a song, that's only heard, If sung for you A flower, only blooms in the sun of you I got a life, That's only lived, if lived for you I got a trail, that's only blazed, if walked with you I've got a song, that's only heard, If sung for you And my flower, only blooms in the sun of you *I got an itch that's only scratched, if I scratch you heartache, is only eased when I love you a wound, that only heals, when I heal you vision, only true, through the lens of you

Compass 03:23
Compass/Never, Forever We're driving in your car. Feeling electricity You're somebody, this nobody either loves or wants to be Saw you peek at me Out the corner of your eye Sideways I sneak one back As you watch the road and drive I dream one day You surprise me with a kiss If forever I must wait Never, forever shall I miss *(Chorus)I call, hang up, don't stop, drive by Silly baby game, kind friends wonder why Our true love tale, stars only me You remain the compass of my sea I'm always waiting Why must I hide just how I feel At least I'll know if it's real

See You in My Dreams I don't know the reasons why we can't relate Some call it destiny, some call it fate I pick up a signal is it you who might transmit Such a strong attraction can't pinpoint (if) that's really it See you in my dreams the only place it seems See you in my dreams I'm prone to fiction Love to weave myself a tale intoxicating fantasy no possibility to fail See you in my dreams It's the only place it seems where together we can be Unbound by destiny See you in my dreams It's the only way it seems Together we can be I'll see you in my dreams I'll see you in my dreams Solo: Bridge: there's a force repelling us keeping us apart how to override this loop so I can hear the beating of your heart See you in my dreams It's the only place it seems where together we can be far from scrutiny See you in my dreams See you in my Dreams

Of Us 04:20
Of Us Keep wondering am I seen or heard waiting for fireworks maybe just one word to reassure is not your style here's one way to communicate so to reconcile Tell me with your kiss teach me with your smile hold me and I'm confident that love can stay awhile our graceful, tender, dance through time So gentle is your touch The romance of this life unfurls The poetry of us Much to my astonishment Never would I've guessed that one could be so content

Ananda 04:20
Ananda Your crown of pink Leads me to think You're someone I must get to know We smoke and chat and while you rant you turn and ask if I may chant Ananda why are you here Ananda did I draw you near Symbol of my quest You are how I know I've done my best Those most in need, you charge straight for Battling darkness, wage your war my best song is how I reply to your piercing gaze Awakened eye *Ananda, why have you appeared? Ananda, did I draw you near? Symbol of my quest You are how I know I've done my best how would you act what would you play if a surprise visit from your hero, one day surprised and confused what now to do did my wish come true? Didn't think I'd break through *Ananda, why have you appeared? Ananda, did I draw you near? Symbol of my quest You are how I know I've done my best

Destination You I finally got what I want Heard the golden word still I'm not satisfied happiness deferred Now I'm sure for what I search you have made this clear now I have just what I crave I want to keep you near Destination you, destination me Your garden is where I belong Destination you, destination me The keeper of my favorite song I'm adrift, nowhere to be (Friends)Can you spare the time teetering on hapless brink I still keep asking why know how this goes, I've seen it before confounded every time block in the road, going gets tough I fear my fearful mind Destination you, destination me Are you my journey or my goal Destination you, destination me Your heartbeat is what makes me whole I'm opal , I am silver doubt and anguish give me peace behold my rainbow after rain Destination you just answer me

Spare Change 04:53
Spare Change Beneath your couch cushions Lost on your auto's floor In the dark, beside side the console opposite the driver's door Atop the bedroom bureau Your empty pocket loot the bottom of your handbag in your shoe wedged by your foot I've stockpiled spare change ( spare change) past benevolence , that I've squirreled away created goodness and fortune blessing upcoming rainy days Forecasted crucial moments I'm prepaid , I fear no fall at a moments notice, karmic savings passbook, tender poised for withdrawal reached out , hello and hey Give hope, ( don't know just what to say Shed light on darkest nights 100 % I gave with all my might Bridge: It's tender only accessed, Only spent by me From a bank, of which only I hold solitary key

Love you, All Is Well I knew from the start my entire heart was safe you're one of chosen few Now that you are gone the me, only you knew awaits another spring, to peek through I know you would say I will find my way But I'd rather hear it coming straight from you Rainbow in Chicago Tupelo, Denver town Monarch in Phoenix Bald Eagle soaring around Hoot hoot in the Sandhills Wise Owl please tell Love you, and all is well Love you, and all is well Don't know where to go cant decide on whom could use a laugh and your good old fashioned truth Until we meet again which I intend to do I'll see your smile and know that it's you Your gift of conversation everyday felt like vacation didn't realize the oasis of you

Creme Cordoba Guacamole, guacamole guacamole y cerveza Junto con Yolanda en Blue Island Esquela de Belleza Great to see you're back Been hoping you'd return Things are as you left them I put to rest concern Been trying not to worry Feared you maybe lost your way Your smile so infectious Please just promise me you'll stay In Chayo's creme Cordoba head north to Casanova dance the Cumbia till close at Two. Tacos Al Pastor till dawn with you Forgot how we lost touch Chasing passion chasing wins Your memory now a whisper where an orchestra had been Jungle Queen don't suit you If I may be so bold Your bravest heart of fiercest love revives all weary souls In Chayo's creme Cordoba head north to Casanova dance the Cumbia till close at Two. Tacos Al Pastor till dawn with you (Bridge) Guacamole, guacamole guacamole y cerveza Junto con Yolanda en Blue Island Esquela de Belleza

I had some help with tracking and mixing. For the most part, I composed, played, sang and engineered myself. It was fun!
