"American Folk"

Hold the Dark

My eyes they're open, I chase the sun
I wait now for the moment, when we come undone

The days go by but fade away
My eyes are wide but I have nothing to say
Would you trade your eyes and what they've seen
For youth and the memories you keep?
Maybe I would

I saw you there holding the dark
Holding your hair, her eyes a fever dream
I know that you, know what you see
Wait for me love, I'll be there
With your cup, wait for the sun to rise

The days go by, but fade away
My eyes are wide but have nothing to say
Would you trade your eyes and what they've seen
For youth and the memories you keep?
Maybe I would refuse to sleep
If I could, wake from this dream of mine

Friday Night

You say you want to try, for us side by side
You've changed since last time, and we will be all right
But I don't want to cry, on a Friday night
Be the one to make you happy, and we will be just fine. Fine.

I don't to fight for you by my side
Two wrongs don't make you right, up til morning light
And I don't want to cry, on a Friday night.
Be the one to make you happy, and we will be just fine.

The words that we use, the fights that we choose
To be alone or to decide, the fears of compromise
You say you won't let go, please hold me so
I don't want to be alone, baby please don't go

There's two mirrors facing each other
Do we see past ourselves or another?
Never felt alone as I am with you
Fire keep us warm or, light the fuse

You say you want to try, for us side by side
You've changed since last time, but I don't want to cry.

American Folk

He likes to walk, in the rain in the dark
The sound of the leaves, the wind through the trees

He ran away, from the fear, will it stay?
When you believe, close your eyes and dream

I've been waiting for you so long
When you come find me I'll be gone
A quiet voice, here at night
The plans we made passing by
We're not so different you and I
We live to work and work to die

She likes the fair, American folk everywhere
The life that she knew is gone with her youth
She ran away from the fear, will it stay?
When you believe, open eyes and see

No matter where you go there you are
No matter how far you run to cover your scar
And all the things that you do will catch up to you
So just be true to yourself, that's what I'll do?

Coconut Tree

I see you standing there, wearing flowers in your hair
I can't wait now for the time, to meet you at the water line
I see you, you see me, let's get together under the coconut tree

You can dance and I will sing, for these moments are everything
Touch the water what's to lose, get on out your dancing shoes

I see you, you see me, lets' get together under the coconut tree

Dust them off and find our second chance, be the one, the one to understand
Try again, to make it, make it last, we're not special, we're just learning to dance
I'll be your second chance

I see you, you see me, lets' get together under the coconut tree

Entropy

All that's left a slow vibration, search for you by radiation
Pulling to a new destination, tracking for your coronation

Dream a river back to you love, pan the gold beside the banks of
Star outside black wall, gather traces as they fall
Search for mass, start again, build a river to the end

New beginnings taking form, river widens to a storm
Setting off our chain reaction, bending time with each interaction

Dream a river back to you love, pan the gold beside the banks of
Heavy dark, a trillion dead suns, needle point to hole and gun
Halt catch fire overload, light the spark explode

Tides

I failed you, when you were weak
And I found truth, in the anger you speak
I'll be hanging around, where the light meets the sea

I'll be the moon, and you'll be the stars
and I'll find true love, right where you are

I'll be the moon, you'll be the sound
And I'll pull you close love, in your orbit I'm bound

Harvey's Song

I left you there, sitting in your chair
Watching birds and raindrops all day long
From the foggy window by the lawn, come back home I miss you

Rain goes on and on
Days away and so far from you, far from home and all we ever knew
Open door and feet get up to run, like a flower growing in the sun
Hold you, I'm coming home

Watching birds and rain drops all day long
We can watch the birds and sing their song
We can watch the raindrops in the sky
Watching days like these pass us by, bye bye

The Fire

Hold me, now that I am with you
Now that I can touch you, now that I can move you
Now that I know just how low you'll go
Hold me in the dark times, hold me in the sunshine
Turn out the light and say it's all right

And hold me down, oh down to the ground
Don't stop it now, it's too late now
All those times I knew you, the lies, the truth too much for you
You laid me down so gently into the dark and burned it to the ground

Start a fire for you, to feel something new
The freckles on her face, hair just out of place
A hand's soft caress, or a slow motion wreck
We'll wait for no one, the years will pass and grow on
The fire burns alone or will it burn the ones we love

Hold me, now that I am with you
Now that I can touch you, now that I can love you
Now that I know, just how low we'll go

Khao Lak

Find your piece of mind, don't grow old or be so cold
We can be free, we can be friends, we can be lovers
Or just pretend to be

Help me find my way home, find my children, watch them growing old
Waves of the ocean were all that I see, they carry me out now
To the Andaman Sea with me, help me

The wind, carried me home, waves of the ocean made me sand and bone
We can be Mae Sue, we can be ghost, we'll live in Khao Lak
Haunt the Andaman Coast with you, help me

All That Glitters

There is a girl, and all that glitters is fools gold
She said to me, I'll drag you under if you let me
And I feel your heart on my skin, what I'd give to feel it beat again
She's the Queen of Cups in disguise, I can feel you burn, burn my eyes

Drawn to heat and to the cold, like the glitter of fools gold

Pull me under, drag me down
Pull me under, wear your crown
Down, down, down, down

Drawn to heat and to the cold, like the glitter of fools gold

Foreign Sky

Hello, goodbye, my friend this time
And I will see you, under a foreign sky

My love, I miss, sweet kisses I give
And oh can't you see, or has the sun blinded me

Goodbye, goodbye, my friend this time
And when you love me, the sun will set on a foreign sky

"Little Wings"

I Love You Dad

There is a boy, with big brown eyes
And daddy loves him so
Every night he sings your name
And watch you grow and grow

Who are you, now that you're home
And where are you, now that we're alone

Fifteen not a man, a boy with a plan
There's no time for you
Fools in life and teenage strife
Clouding the view

Now that I'm grown with children of my own
Want to know just who you are
But time to dust and wanderlust
Have taken you so far

Who are you now that we're alone
And where are you now that you're gone

Shaking hands, help you to stand
Ask you how you've been
The words won't come out
You twist and in doubt, we're alone again

Who are you now that we're alone
Where are you now that you're gone

Cherry Tree

When you were young
We took the bus downtown
Said hi to everyone
Got lost in the crowds outside

We waved our hands
To all these strangers
In this foreign land
They'd smile and wave right back

Willa bear
Don't despair
Know that I'll always love you

When you were three
I picked you up
And put you in the cherry tree
Our hands got red in the sun
You wanted more
For all these things in life you surely adore
But time flows on by

Harvey bear
Beyond compare
Know that I'll always love you

Kanlayanee, I love you
When we're old and gray
We'll be singing this tune
Because I love you and you love me
And together we’ve made a family

Bunny Hip Hop

I know a bunny and she loves hip hop
And she hops around all day
I know a bunny and she loves hip hop
And she's hopping around today
I know a bunny and she loves hip hop
And she hops around all day
I know a bunny and she loves hip hop
And she's hopping around today

So gather around and I'll sing you a song
About an oak tree who was funny and longed
For friends, good times, singing and dance
So what did he find but a bunny per chance

I know a bunny and she loves hip hop
And she hops around all day, Hey
I know a bunny and she loves hip hop
And she's hopping around today
I know a bunny and she loves hip hop
And she hops around all day
I know a bunny and she loves hip hop
And she's hopping around today

Ba ba ba

Well this little bunny she loves to sing and dance
And Every now and then her brother poops his pants
Sister Willamina said this thing to me
This little bunny is as cute as he can be
Break it down

Little bunny ain’t just funny she’s hilarious
But you know hopping through the woods can be precarious
So many dangers round the corner, oh me oh my
That why it’s good to have a friend on whom you can rely
So remember if you’re ever sad and start to feel
Like a lonely tree or fuzzy bunny on a hill
You’ll always have a friend where there’s a tree that is sunny
And a good friend is worth more than a bag of money

One Two Three

One two three, hear me
One two three, feel me

And I, love you
Like you want me to
So warm, so right
Find the light
Find the light
You’re my light
You’re my light

One two three, hold me
One two three, kiss me

And I, know you
Love me, I love you too
So warm, so right
I’m the light
I’m the light
I’m your light
I’m your light

Selah

Feel a storm come, feel it in my bones
I feel a storm come, feel it in my bones
I...

Every Time I've Been Wrong

Please don't say it's true that you're leaving
At least you'll know that I'll be here waiting
And we will sing this song
For all those times I've been wrong

Baby baby baby please don't say
Go to sleep and dream another day
Close your eyes and we'll forget the world
The words you said that we regret I heard
And we will sing this song
For all those times you've been wrong

Baby baby baby please don't go
The words we know were all for show
Open arms and eyes into mine
Here with me but gone this whole time
And we will sing this song
For all the those times we've been wrong

Baby baby baby say it's true
Never was in love with you

Little Wings

She's been down this road
A hundred times or more
In disguise, no compromise
The queen of the damned, this I know

She's been here before
Walked right through my door
In disguise, with blood red eyes
Spread your wings and fly

Who are you, now this time
All these pretty things
Held in your little wings
Fly like your father sings

There's no time for you
Burn the oil so true
In her eyes, inside there lies
The queen of the damned this I know

And I, know you
Will be right here
Holding them near
Without fear

Sunshine Everywhere

There's a little bear, sunshine everywhere
And Willa, it's you
There's a little bear, dancing everywhere
And Willa, it's you

Won't you be my baby girl
We'll tell the world that Willa, we love you

Hand of God

So they say the world is blue
An island in an empty sea
All that's old is new and spirals
Down for you to live and breath

Grow... roots again

Some say it's true you die and nothing
Some say it's true that we live on
When I dream, I dream in sky blue
My hands reach out to you, hold on

Grow... roots again

Eyes to west and deep breaths
Just call my name when you're alone
Road at Richmond is our compass
When you're lost it takes you home

Grow... roots again

Willamina don't you worry
I'll be here with you my love
If he hurts you I'll come running
With the hands of God my love

Grow... roots
Grow... your roots again
