ocean blue

Long ago I was a landlocked lady never sailed no ocean blue.
These sealegs been shaking since the moment when I first laid eyes on you.
Crashing waves as far as the eye can see, darlin’ you made and island out of me.
Holding my breath while you’re lost out at sea, darlin’ you made an island out of me.
Uncharted waters, asked my father for his daughter sayin’ she can make a man of me.
After all we navigated, pulled the anchor and you left me out at sea.
Cast adrift, tidal words set you free, but darlin’ you made an island out of me. Each grain of sand is proof of my certainty, darlin’ you made an island out of me.
Twisted white rope, the remnants of our fears, you stole the boat holding back all those years, you wanna find me, but you burned the map, only the stars can lead you back.
Closin’ my eyes, I can feel you on the breeze, darlin’ you made an island out of me. Horizon shapes, I cast a glance to appease, my darlin’ you made an island out of me.
Ocean blue ocean blue what would I do if I hadn’t met you, ocean blue ocean blue, sitting and watching and waiting for you. Angry sea angry sea braving those darkened waters for me, angry sea angry sea where would you be if you hadn’t met me.

Cats cradle and our hands our tied, running through the same old patterns.
When there is no wrong or right, bound heartstring worn and tattered.
This game makes foes from friends.
Where it begins is not where it will end.
Cats cradle look me in the eye, is truth lies unspoken?
If the past stays caught inside, then we’ll know the bonds been broken.
If you can’t give me your word,
All the things you ever said, I never really heard.
Cats cradle, these strings have taken hold;
Cats cradle, when it ends we’ll know.
Cats cradle, these strings take their toll;
Cats cradle, when it ends we’ll know
Cats cradle, I feel it in my bones;
Cats cradle, these strings are our home.

soul nomad

I got a light that’s pure and true,
my light that shines for you.
I got a soul that’s big and blue,
my soul that walks to you.
Soul nomad, finally found where my soul's at home.
And I know that, walking alone is no way to roam.
So I follow.
Still waters ripple through,
oceans deep in iris blue.
Wandering in search of you,
soul sails on love winds true.
Soul nomad, finally found where my soul's at home.
And I know that, walking alone is no way to roam.
So I follow.
No way to roam, no way to roam so far from home.
Hold me like a stone, it’s all we’ve ever known.
Soul nomad, finally found where my soul's at home.
And I know that, walking alone is no way to roam.
So I follow, so I follow, so I follow.

garden grows

Warm earth beneath my toes, this is how my garden grows.
Look to a future that is so unknown, this is how my garden grows.
If the garden’s in the city, if the garden’s in a town,
if a tree grows in the garden, all the people gather round.
Little bit of mulch and a lot of compost, this is how my garden grows.
Guided by the sun and the water flows, this is how my garden grows.
If a tree grows in the garden, and you wanna hear the sound,
play the music in the garden, all the people dance around.
Oh my mother, mother mother mother oh,
Oh my mother, let the water flow.
Need a friend to lighten the load, this is how my garden grows.
Together we will reap what we sow, this is how my garden grows
If there’s music in the garden, and you feel it in the ground,
can you tell what I am doing? Oh you know that its profound.
Oh my mother, mother mother mother oh,
Oh my mother, love the way you grow.
Wild mint and prairie rose, this is how my garden grows.
Trying to learn what the forest knows, this is how my garden grows.
Oh my mother, mother mother mother oh,
Oh my mother, teach me what you know.
