Burn them, said the preacher man, but someone laid these screeds to rest inside an old tire swing, covered up with old vines.

between conflicting powers
it’s hard to win this game
maybe the wind’s to blame
but if i doubt,
you will doubt

the waters brown
princess
it’s a million years
since you been around
i saw you walking last spring
in your white velvet gown
i saw you in the hothouse
putting roses on ice
but princess
who you sleeping with tonight
hey princess who you sleeping with tonight
as i sit here with my can of warm beer
making love to the moonlight
you tell me the things
that i cant forget
your pockets are full of…
let me guess
you long for that hothouse
but you look to the sky
hey princess
who you sleeping with tonight
hey princess who you sleeping with tonight
as i sit here with my can of warm beer
making love to the moonlight
hey little princess
you forgot where you came from
where northern lights shine
on rivers of wine
and you banged your favorite drum
alone on the playground
with your feet on fire
you dont belong in that hothouse
you should grow wild
hey princess who you sleeping with tonight
as i sit here with my can of warm beer
making love to the moonlight
hey princess who you sleeping with tonight
as i sit here with my can of warm beer
making love to the moonlight
were you cultivated or did you grow wild?
flakes
i’ll remember you as i knew you last winter
you came out of nowhere
snowflakes fell like headless angels
and they melted in your hair
i still feel you shiver in the night
like a dream i never realized
it’s torture just to know that you’re not mine
livings free
but livings lost to time
and so are we
as alive as any flakes in the fire
we’ll burn to be what we dream of
we’re hidden in the fire
if I can stand the heat of your hand
we’ll climb on heaven’s pyre
livings free
but livings lost to time
and so are we
as alive as any flakes in the fire
ivy dell
i was born in ivy
destined to die
close to the old treeline
on the end of my vine
so i packed my bags baby
and stepped out for a look
over the pines, the long long pines
over mountains I flew
i knew that i made one big mistake
when i thought things would work out so well
i knew that i made on big mistake
the day i left ivy dell
ivy still winds
through the hills of my mind
i call across mountains
and hear my own name
it says oh baby oh darling
you were born to stay
how can you leave me this way?
ivy cradles my head
and creeps towards my heart
with the lean of the willow tree
she tears it apart
she shuts my eyes, baby
and wraps up my hands
like the wind from a cloud
she carries me back
