Sparrow

it's yours, not mine
take it and break the tie
til i forget every line we wrote
somehow it took a year
laid bare, crystal clear
we became everything we feared
we would
sparrow | sparrow | sparrow
i won't fly again until you
the price of playing young
learning not to hold your tongue
and letting go where you have clung
too tightly even though
there were more songs to be sung
maybe sparrow songs can last
i've learned this much from the past
that when a thing is built too fast
it's weak
sparrow | sparrow | sparrow
i won't fly again until you

Bravest of Voice
04:08

it's a summer dress
your very best
catching his eye across the room and
feeling heart's duress
were they pleasant days
or just a happy haze
every angle could be any of
so many ways
bravest of voice
did you think you had a choice?
bravest of voice,
be. or just leave.
in a cruel quarrel
silently unfurled
too late we recognize the 'other'
neither clay nor pearl
a winter dark
it left a mark
and the cold communion nails still
clinging to the bark
bravest of voice
did you think you had a choice?
bravest of voice,
be. or just leave.
it's a late spring shower
and i picked a flower
to remind me:
choose sweet and never sour

Cherry Trees
04:24
|

we grew our love beyond the mountains
beneath the cherry trees
hearts entwined yet fresh and fragile
as petals on the breeze
sing once for me, once for you
and once more for the girl
free and airy - we weren't wary
and what a price we paid
something stirred a doubtful ripple
responding to the moon
whispered then an ancient tale
in reiterating tune
sing once for me, once for you
and once more for the girl
words not meant - we further bent
til they pierced through the calm
were my fears laid out in script
played within my mind?
do injured eyes see false surprises
determined not to be blind?
sing once for me, once for you
and once more for the girl
if that she was made by me
i'd rather now not know

Ice in the Desert

kyrie | keep me | kyrie
oh - those words
oh - i don't feel it anymore
oh - if these stones could speak
oh - of the sun
kyrie | keep me | kyrie
oh - two minded
oh - better left unheard
oh - in the desert
oh - my voice
kyrie | keep me | kyrie
oh - the ice
oh - does the water team below
oh - is there life?
oh -
kyrie | keep me | kyrie

Echo In
04:35
|
|||
there is a calmness in the silence
a reprieve from the din
just a few notes repeating
echo in
a/tone for every key that got broken
for beauty and for loss
of recompense for the things
that we tossed
there's a breeze that is stirring
it cools my feverish mind
and it's no longer burning
i know what i left behind
carry me | carry me home
you travelled north and i walked south
looking for the same door
maybe someday we'll ask:
'what was it for?'
there's a breeze that is stirring
it cools my feverish mind
and it's no longer burning
i know what i left behind
carry me | carry me home

Stay Awhile
04:41
|
|||
when your bones feel old
your joints ache from the cold
so much is left untold
i will stay awhile
when all that's left
is heaviness in your chest
the pieces all a mess
i will stay awhile
the sun will shine tomorrow
a little brighter than today
and the memories of your sorrow
will pass along their way
when the world forgot
but you cannot
lost in the sea of thoughts
i will stay awhile
though nothing comes for granted
the sun will shine another day
and the movements of the planets
will pass along their way
and the pain that almost swallowed
plant it in the earth
where once there was a hollow
life springs up from the dirt
but for now
i'll be here anyhow
i will stay awhile
