When you gonna to come to me In your full moon form? And hold me close? I could never be the one you missed Before I came around the first time ever, Saw you in the dew Said “I do not remember, ‘Cause I have never met you” ‘Cause I have never met you Who’s got me on this frozen lake? Going to rub my back while I lick my plate? Going to know right off That the line’s not straight And fall in love with my changing state? When you gonna come to me In your full moon? All the way from Jupiter and tell me by balloon? God of luck and planet of “come soon” Telling me you love me late night Calling like a loon I’ve never met you I’ve never met you oooh I’ve never met you I’ve never met you Here we are on this solid lake Going to rub my back while I lick my skates? Going to know right off That the line’s not straight And fall in love with my changing state? Don't pretend its not you or be late Don't pretend it's easy to wait When you gonna to come to me In your full moon form? And hold me close? I could never be the one you missed Before I came around the first time ever, Saw you in the dew Said “I do not remember, ‘Cause I have never met you” ‘Cause I have never met you

Years 04:35
Now you have got years on you Now when I look at you, I see Years and years Years and years And years and years And oh Your bones match a bone that they found in the river And they’re bones that I know and I have known forever If an old girl forgets, then you gotta forgive her ‘Cause you know her and you know how she loves to remember Remember Remember Remember that mountain landscape? Remember that time that we waited Years and years Years and years And years and years And oh Your bones match a bone that they found in the river And they’re bones that I know and I have known forever If an old girl forgets, then you gotta forgive her ‘Cause you know her and you know how she loves to remember Remember Remember Remember

Borderline 04:10
we crossed the borderline knew it was time and we did it now on the other side everything’s tourmaline-tinted we thought the lunar landscape was distant now we meet stars face to face in an instant with grace you had the bell and I had the loom to lean on you had the sun and I had the moon to lean on you had the irises in full bloom to lean on you had the hawk and I had the loon to lean on cast a shadow, keeping you on the planet leaves of the maple turned, but not fallen yet your red and gold display surprised me seeing you naked again, bare and wise and the same and changed you had the bell and I had the loom to lean on you had the sun and I had the moon to lean on you had the irises in full bloom to lean on you had the hawk and I had the loon to lean on now they’re gone gone

Took off your jacket and left it Lit a match, put her breathing at rest With your hand, pulled in close to your chest And let your breath turn off the light Quiet night You can believe what you want to You can just believe what you want to In subtle light You can believe what you want to You can just believe what you want to The estate’s impossible hedges You still can’t quite tell what that edge is There’s an edge, put you up in two houses Now you’re standing at that shoreline Side by side You can believe what you want to You can just believe what you want to So do I You can believe what you want to You can just believe what you want to At night, at the lake You took hours to fall asleep With your hand over your heart Your pulse stood watch like a sentinel You felt it in your gut And thought it was physical What is physical and not? Fate is visceral And so am I You can believe what you want to You can just believe what you want to Til you die You can believe what you want to You can just believe what you want to

The Lake 04:30
Why does the lake love me better than you do? Cover me, cover me, I’m going in Distance is not something I’m used to When it’s my lover covering me skin on skin I can see clear now what you were up to Pushing me away, pushing into me so I can’t win But winning or losing is not what lovers do When they’re covering each other skin on skin But I learned a thing or two With you With you With you This morning was white, the lake forming ice And cover me, cover me, it’s snowing Why do I fight myself and think twice? When I have such immediate ways of knowing? This beautiful place is in an unhealthy stasis And it’s hard to determine when it started setting in But there’s life in this lake I am so sick of faking it When I’m covering my lover skin on skin And I do With you With you With you And it’s a shame, it’s a shame It’s so easy to blame When we are one and the same In that we made this arrangement So why does the lake love me better than you did? Come with me, lover, and look with the light again Your father, my mother, made it out of the church And I still feel that strap coming down on my hand I feel it in you, and I was also untrue to The voice of my story coming from deep within Do the lake and the land want me to forgive you Yes they do They do They do

Monarch 04:26
Could it be a monarch With nowhere to migrate to? What else can this push within do for you? What else can this push within do for you? Come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on, come on Do for you Here the hand that took the land that bred you Weighs the worth of the earth that fed you Beyond, beyond, beyond, beyond Beyond, beyond, beyond, beyond Beyond, beyond, beyond, beyond Beyond , beyond, beyond You were brave Be braver Be more brave Now you know You’re an island It’s more than a lake That divides this The ocean connects us If you see it the other way You who were always a natural at Moving from place to place Inside your eyelids In images on the hill You’ll need the gifts of your heritage If they are with you still Could it be a monarch With nowhere to migrate to? What else can this push within do for you? What else can this push within do for you? Come on You were brave Be braver Be more brave Now you know You’re an island It’s more than a lake That divides this

Deep Memory 03:26
If there was a camera on me when I sleep If there was sonar, clicking in my sheets Would it hear her voice? Would it see her face? She is deep memory That we dream to trace ‘Cause we are deep memory We are deep memory Filtering through her teeth We are Deep Memory And the sound of your voice Lets me know that you are there, even with all the noise And the sound of your voice Lets me know where I am even in the noise The signal faded not me I was far inland with my baby Make a new soundwave It’s the sea I was far inland with my baby If I was far inland Nursing my baby Would you find a way to communicate with me? Sing to see my face Here is my body Moving itself through space Only half-sleeping And dreaming deep memory Seeing deep memory And I know “one is three” Because I am deep memory And the sound of your voice Lets me know that you are there, even with all the noise And the sound of your voice Lets me know where I am even in the noise The signal faded not me I was far inland with my baby Make a new soundwave It’s the sea I was far inland with my baby

In that brief place we meet before dawn On one level, we always stay In that heat, of the light coming on You know me, and you know what I say Do you want me? In this lifetime again? ‘Cause no mist in the memory can pretend It’s not rebirth and reunion We have found this kissing and Love is listening Heaven on my mind Heaven on my side Heaven is your height Heaven on my mind Heaven on my mind Tell me what you like Heaven, it’s alright Heaven in my sightline In that brief place we meet In between the lines that are not really lines I can see that this landscape’s changed you I’ve seen you change so many times Do you want me? In this life that we’re in? And how much are you into remembering? Or just making it new again? ‘Cause I love each presence formed by your essence Heaven on my mind Heaven on my side Heaven, what a sight Heaven on my mind Heaven on my mind Every single life Heaven, just in time Heaven in my sightline Be there, be there’s what we chose And we wanted to Be there Freedom Freedom’s where we meet And will always Meet again You’re here, I’m here I so love when we’re here Creating this Freedom Freedom is where our love lives
