Cedar falling, falling from the trees
There's an old man walking miles on his knees
He's a healer, teacher, clearing up the weeds
Waiting for a clearing, goes and plants the seeds
He's singing, "Season, season, come back to me...
Give me some reason blooming at my feet;
I've got that snow fear, iced and cold
Here nothing blooms, year long, you know
Year long, you know."
Healing in the north woods, giving thanks to the seeds
then heading towards the harbor on the first breath of spring
Taking time for the new bloom, for the opening
Then comes the harvest, leaves falling from the trees
Love will always find, always find a way
Seasons change

Sadie's in the back room
on the full moon
It was the kind of light
that she wanted
I was in the kitchen, waiting on a vision
for some higher calling
that I needed
You took my name down, I did not notice
I yearned for choirs of angels
Then later when the phone rang
there could be no string
that would loose the tangle
Later in the summertime
Lydie's drinking bottled wine
She said, "everyone's got a dime, back in Paris"
Lost it to ignition
I danced before I listened;
he said, "answer the storyline"
then he did it
You took my name down, I did not notice
I yearned for choirs of angels
and later when the phone rang
there could be no string
that would loose the tangle
Then I saw a white light
then I heard a gentle sigh
and I told God a storyline, like I believed it
Then I felt a mercy
like water to the thirsting,
and He said, "wait, until the morning comes"
And He said, "wait until the morning comes"
You took my name down, I did not notice
I yearned for choirs of angels
and later when the phone rang
there could be no string
that would loose the tangle
You took my name down, I did not notice
I yearned for choirs of angels

Seven Seconds

Seven seconds away
from that leap of faith
few more moments of waiting
before that space between
opens up from below
They all called you superman
catching the rays of sun in your hand
you left New York for the road
to open up, open up, open your soul
to the river it runs it flows
Are you love sick, are you selfish
treasure harvest before you plant it
do you feel it
heal the surface before the roots grow
and make you nervous
can you see it can you feel it
love to love but fear to lose it
you love to love but you fear to lose it
it comes back, if you choose it
say so
The river it runs it flows
You're seven seconds away
you're seven seconds away
from your leap of faith
your leap of faith
Open up open your soul

Waking Up

I'm waking up in the morning out from the dead
I'm waking up to all the strange things in my head
Talking so loud, I can't understand
talking so loud, I can't understand
Talking so loud...
I'm waking up ...
They said, "go down south instead"
"go down south where the mountains are so bright red"
"go down south," they said,
"clear your head..."
You're waking up in the morning you feel new
nothing left to fear you just want someone to talk to
Someone told me that you would be there
writing stories into the air
Someone told me that you would be there
and you were there
We thought the morning would never come
and now the sunlight's in our eyes like a beating drum
now you feel like you can be someone
Go be someone, go, go, be someone
Run
You're waking up, you're waking up, you're waking up
We're waking up, we're waking up, we're waking up
We're waking up

Weightless

Apples that fall from trees, he wants the best for me
said there's a hidden sea, and "that's where I'm goin'"
Now I'm walking past the county line
counting paces just to keep in time
said there's a human, kind way to the garden
See the desert kind of had that glow
when the sun went down and the light was low
See the embers kind of had that show
in the melody where I could go
where I was weightless, weightless in my dreams
See I'm weightless, weightless in my dreams
Sister's under mind control
said, "let the good times roll!"
she seems to find the well
she's taking the water
Now she's pacing by the county line,
escaping just to keep her rhyme
oh she's a humankind, she's back in the garden
See the desert kind of had that glow
when the sun went down and the light was low
See the embers kind of had that show
in the melody where I could go
where I was weightless, weightless in my dreams
See I'm weightless, weightless in my dreams
