Something Like Goodbye
04:10
|
|

There's something your not saying,
I see it in your eyes.
Could it be, what you're not telling me
Is Something Like Goodbye

Wire and the Window
01:25
|
|
||
Another Moth is trapped
Between the Wire and the Window
She cannot fly away and she cannot reach the light
A paradox of loneliness - in between the worlds:
Fluttering for Freedom
Beaten by the Flight

My Old Shoe
02:44
|
|
||
You're the Dog on my floor
Green Stamps from the store
Rock-N'Roll concert stub
Rubber duck in a tub
You're my tire swing tree,
Lifetime Guarantee!
Tried and True
I Love You,
My Old Shoe.

Jamie's Song
03:00
|
|

Are the visions to which I am dumb?
Won't you open my ears
To the songs of the Sun?
If there are saints, Jamie, you must be one

From Your Gravity
04:31
|
|
||
I am calling from Saturn,
From the top of Farm Hill.
I'm afraid you won't answer
And afraid that you will...
I blasted off with both rockets
Burning fire to break free
Now I'm light years from Freedom
Free from your Gravity

Stay With Me
04:35
|
|
||
You disappear behind lengthening shadows
Or hide in the clouds the whole day
Make me One Promise
before you go under:
You won't leave me waiting in Winter forever?

An Oyster leads a dangerous and stressful life.
Indeed, his chance to live at all is mighty slim.
He can expect only One Fate:
to end life one someone's plate,
... and until that prospects are pretty grim...

Man on the Moon
03:03
|
|
||
There is a Man on the Moon
Thinks he's up on a ladder,
He wants to know how to get down.
He feels so unsteady,
someone better come soon
And take care of the man.

Home to You
02:17
|
|
||
I thought I'd lost a good friend, but I found one in return.
And I'm coming home -
let a candle in the window burn
It may take until tomorrow to get where I belong
But I'm coming home to you in a Song
|

Watching you Sleep
05:21
|
|
||
I am your moon
Across the room
Reflecting your light
I think I see
You watching me
All through the night...

Coney Island Lullaby
05:43
|
|
||
Took a trip to the moon today
Rode the Razzle Dazzle, too.
Bumper cars and the Steeple Chase
And then we rode the Loop-de-Loop!
Won a bear with a baseball
Saw mermaids on parade
Muscle man and a Frosty Cup
Drink Ice Cold Lemonade!

Wooden Boy
04:18
|
|
||
I'm the Wooden Boy.
That may be all you see -
A puppet on a string.
But there is more to me
And all I ask of you
Is to be understood.
To see the boy beneath the boy
Who's made of wood...
I'm in here.

Betty Boop & Buddha

Betty Boop & Buddha Driving in a car
Stopping at the farmer's market
Betty buys a bagel, Buddha eyes a beer
Buddha, Betty tells him, You can put that pack right here!

Music in the Rafters
04:26
|
|
||
Up in the beams a swallow builds a nest
To start another generation
To shelter family from the rain
and make music
A feathered mystery unfolds
And songs of hunger being answered
As little wings learn how to fly
and make music!
Music in the Rafters
Rhythm in the wings
Melody in Laughter
Music in the Rafters.
