I'm Falling Too

Wrapped up here you hold me tight
Fire lights your eyes sincere
Chilly breeze comes down blows round
Trees release their leaves
Outside they dance around
Falling softly to the ground
And here inside I’m falling too
Every day a little harder for you
I’m falling too I’m falling too
I’m falling too I’m falling too
On the edge of something new
Here before but not with you
On a blanket of red and gold
It begins and we unfold
Repeat Chorus
bridge
Repeat Chorus

Midway Avenue
02:49
|

|
1935 a starry night
Moonlight on a glassy river
Stretched out on her wooden deck
A boy grows up with the tide
1946 a house
Built strong with a young man’s dreams
Two blocks from the family
Just a mile from the river
And he was the Captain of Midway Avenue
Friends came from all around on Sunday afternoons
Bourbon and orange juice
Stories of your youth
Living in this river town
Now silence lives in every room
Among the boxed up valuables
Load it all out in a truck
And put a for sale sign up
But you’re still the Captain of Midway Avenue
And I’ll miss you most of all on Sunday afternoons
Bourbon and orange juice
Stories of your youth
Living in this river town
Living in this river town

Paper Trails
02:53

Kick’s her shoes off and locks the door
Home from a bookstore shopping spree
Hangs her coat and dims the lights
Snuggled in for a Friday night
And she lies in bed
Makes a choice
from her night stand
Of paper trails of roads she travels
They bind her together, as her heart unravels
As she travels yeah, as she travels
She’s lost in a place she can clearly see
Finding some light on the darkest street
She surrenders to words unknown
Comes alive as the tale is sewn
Wrapped in language, secure defense
Her heart hanging in the balance
And she climbs the stairs
Turns the corner……. and she’s there
Chorus
Bridge
And she twirls all around flowing gown
Hearts pound in sweet expectation
Murky reality slips away
Down Paper Trails...

Honeysuckle Dream
03:17
|
|||
|
I lived on the air
Hangs so close to you
Surround me with your sweet
Fragrantly retreat
And you’re like a Honeysuckle dream
Keeps me awake
Beneath tangled vines
Await the night’s release
Lured with promises
Pregnant lips receive
Drink of honeyed dew
Hallowed offerings
Chorus
Bridge:
But poison lingers
Under covers of cream

Super Dog
02:50
|
|||
|
She’d start everyday with a “ruff”
That said “OK Mom it’s time to get up”
She’d try to out run me in the park
And keep up with the bigger dogs
She was Super Dog
My best friend
She still has, my heart, on a string
She was Super Dog
My best friend
Beside me, we could do anything
She lived for milk bones and long naps
Watching TV on my lap
When she got bored she’d let me know
And run round the house…. doin’ the crazy dog
Chorus
Bridge:
And someday I’ll cross over that rainbow bridge
And she’ll come running to me
And I’ll tell her again
She's Super Dog
My best friend
She always had my heart on a string
My Super Dog
My best friend
Back beside me, now I can do anything
Yeah, now we can do anything

Come Home
03:33
|
|||
|
We don’t have to say a word, just
Hold my hand beneath the table
Let the Grace restore our hearts, as we
Ease out of this estrangement
Chorus:
I want to come home for the holiday
I want to feel like I’m part of my family
I want to know if you
Still love me too
I want to come home
We could embrace the differences
Honoring our independence
Forget about what was said, and the
Consequence of so much distance
Tucked in around the table
Red wine and laughter fill
Spirits raised we swallow deep
Complex breathed in sweet
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Create a new foundation
Reverse descending motion
Amend this lifetime term
Amend this lifetime term
Repeat Chorus

I’ve had enough
Crazy day, blood pressure’s up
I need a break
Something to take me away
chorus
I want some Namaste
I need a mind a body holiday
Breathe and stretch my troubles away
The yogi, the yogi, yogi, oh yogi mamma way
My minds a blur
Overload I can't think straight
I need to block out
All the things making me crazy
Chorus
Not gonna think
I'll let my Ujjayi breath
Flow in and out
From my toes to my head
Chorus
Bridge Chant/Ohm
Ganesha jaia, jaia, Ganesha jaia jaia (Victory to Ganesh!)
Final Choruses Repeat with some alterations
Final Chant:
Asato Ma Sat Gamaya/ Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya /Mrityor ma Amritam Gama
(Let us be led from the unreal to the Real From darkness to the Light
From mortality to Eternity)

Another Perfect Day
03:07
|
|||
|
Go to bed and wake up
Coffees on, grab a cup
Good by dear and have a nice day
Wake the kids, make them lunch
Comb their hair, love you a bunch
School bus pulls out the driveway
Oh la la la la la Everybody’s on their way
Oh la la la la la Another perfect day
Folding warm laundry
Iron out every crease
Hang it up carefully
Vacuum every corner
Wipe the dust off every shelf
Do everything meticulously
Oh la la la la la Everybody’s on their way
Oh la la la la la Another perfect day
Bridge:
But whats that hollow feeling?
That follows you through the day?
From the grocery store and your manicure
It just won’t go away!
So you put the kids to bed early
Candle light, a special night
His favorite wine and your new dress
Telephone rings
Big project working late
He’ll make it up to you again sometime
Oh la la la la la Everybody’s on their way
Oh la la la la la Another perfect day
