Lioness

The whole world
smiles for you
winds pursue your
summer dress
My lioness
my lioness, a new
mystery awaits you
just let go
You fall slow
counting the days left
winds pursue your
summer dress
My lioness
my lioness, a new
mystery awaits you
just let go
Let the cold
claim her own

Keep Me
03:33
|

When you said
to me
that you wanted
to be more than friends
how could I pretend
Thinking of
the front door
instead
of grace and the way we repent
and my discontent
all your love's been spent
trying to
Keep me
from leaving
tying to keep me
from leaving
When you said
to me
go ahead
and leave it went straight to my head
how could I pretend?
Thinking of
all that other love
instead
of grace and the way we repent
and my discontent
all your love's been spent
trying to
Keep me
from leaving
tying to keep me
from leaving

Mauve
05:41

Chestnut mauve
blossoms scattered on the ground
that old familiar sound
of car horns
and tires peeling out
like choirs, singing rounds
Through the door, the breeze came
billowing into the hall
the coat you left keeps swinging
against the wall
Morning comes, and I forget to
shut the door and every fall
the breeze, it keeps on bringing
leaves, the color mauve
Scratching doors, and staining walls
draping them in paisley shawls
the day turns to night
the car turns around
like smoke rings, spinning out
Through the door, the breeze came
billowing into the hall
the coat you left keeps swinging
against the wall
Morning comes, and I forget to
shut the door and every fall
the breeze, it keeps on bringing
leaves, the color mauve

The Banyan Tree

Underneath the banyan tree
I waited, I stayed until
until the morning came
and brought a sunny day
I waited
I waited
waited in vain
Reef line
gusts of songbirds in flight
the day, turning into night
Underneath the banyan tree
beside the rushing creek
I watched the sky turn grey
and wiped my tears away
I waited
I waited in vain
waited in vain
watching the
Waves break,
gusts of songbirds in flight
the day, turning into night
