MEGAPHONE HEART
can i write you a letter ?
blast it out from a meg-a-phone heart
all my thought are much clearer
when i let the words fall a part
i thought you were forever
like the lights on the prairie at night
just a light house of color
burning fast and always so bright
when you lift up your arms and let it go
does the soul fly or get caught in the under tow?
send a post card just
to let us know
you can hear us clear sometimes
when we call on the old megaphone
all the weight that you carry
just a measure of how fast we fall
al-ways fall ing and fly ing till we don't feel the weight at all
till we don't feel the weight at all
should you rage or go gentle
you just laugh when you take up the fight
in your bed by the win-dow
see the stars in the desert night
when you lift up your arms and let it go
throw my head back
just to watch you from below
do your wings hurt how is the landing gear
is that you on a megaphone
play it loud so that i can hear
when you lift up your arms and let it go
does the soul fly or get caught in the under tow?
send a post card just
to let us know
you can hear us clearly sometimes
when we call on the old megaphone

MAPS
For the long traveler i beg you to be wary
of distractions and a lack of road signs
if the radio plays static and your throat is too dry
perhaps you'll consider pulling over this time
when i see open road i just don't believe it
sometimes I'm blind to the cracks in the ground
& when i can't seem to hear for all the buzzing in my ears
i just try to keep all windows down
One Two Three
You know what it means to me
Now that we’ve started up again
I can’t stop this pulling on e me endlessly
Just like the ocean, you pull me in
Just like the ocean, we come back again
re-mem-ber when we got lost in the city
we had more maps than our arms could hold
but i could see no direction worth going to
I could not find you as our hearts had grown cold
i follow the compass that is tattooed on my chest
spin me in 3 circles and we just might be heading north
the furrow on your brow seems softer somehow
& it is easier to chart a new course
One Two Three
You know what it means to me
Now that we’ve started up again
I can’t stop this pulling on e me endlessly
Just like the ocean, you pull me in
Just like the ocean, we come back again
I think that I see you so much better in the dark
Our hands our eyes our breath a southern wind
Follow that notion for to jump in the ocean
And like the ocean your heartbeat pulls me in
Just like the ocean, you pull me in
Just like the ocean, we come back again

ONCE
when i was young the corn it ran high
it reached to the sun and it kissed to the sky
But all that's long gone it's been taken away
to make room for a strip mall and packaged up dreams
I dreamed that the green was the bottom of the sea
and the blue sky the ocean covering over me
I screamed out your name and the river ran high
all the flowers are blooming with a whale swimming by
Dreaming dawning careless yawning
i held you before the morning
light broke down
before I broke down
The river runs deep and the river runs wild
she took out the town & left the corn beside
& If its true what they say
that you’ll reap what you sow
I will plant us some flowers before we must go
When i was young the corn it ran high
it reached to the sun and it kissed to the sky
& its true what they say that you reap what you sow
So I will plant us some flowers before we must go
Dreaming dawning careless yawning
i held you before the morning
light broke down
before I broke down
