Commentary on how to attract the elusive.

lyrics

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
