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

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

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

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

Bavay
I didn't know what to do, Bavay
A feeling I never knew, Bavay
Instinctively I understood, Bavay
I didn't know what to do, Bavay
A feeling I never knew, Bavay
of what could be, just me and you, Bavay
Tropical musk,
Cloudless day,
Hello sun-kissed
Cafe Au Lait
Home everywhere and nowhere
I Tell myself I'm free
too scared to not believe this lie
So I remain just me
Bavay, Bavay
you changed my life that day
we spoke different languages, Bavay
Bavay, Bavay, A shadow in a tree
my conscience protecting me, Bavay
You breezy by,
light and free
I can take my time
now you're trailing me
it wasn't until I told my pals
the truth (has) come to light
Gudrun, Mark, Jan all
howling with delight
Bavay, Bavay, you changed my life that day
we spoke different languages, Bavay
Bavay, Bavay, A shadow in a tree
my conscience protecting me, Bavay
I didn't know what to do, Bavay
A feeling I never knew, Bavay
Instinctively I understood, Bavay
Bavay, Bavay, I can't forget that day
because of you, my name is now cliche
with, Bavay, Bavay
Bavay, Bavay, you changed my life that day
we spoke different languages, Bavay
Bavay, Bavay, A shadow in a tree
my conscience is protecting me , Bavay
I didn't know what to do, Bavay
A feeling I never knew, Bavay
Instinctively I understood, Bavay
Bavay, Bavay, I can't forget that day
because of you, my name is now cliche
with, Bavay, Bavay
Bavay, Bavay, you changed my life that day
we spoke different languages, Bavay
Bavay, Bavay, I can't forget that day
because of you, my name is now cliche

Ananda

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

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

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

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
