oh, tigers -
there are tigers in your eyes.
i had a dream we were swimming
in waters
dark as wine.
you left me some ice on my doorstep;
i was looking for somebody's rainbow.
i fell in a hole you were fixing
all the way down to china -
feet rising up in the air.
you pulled me back out by my hair that turned grey
and held me close and warm
close and warm.
and oh, firelight -
there was firelight on morning snow.
(instrumental)
we sailed out again on a river
that was two inches wide
on a boat that came out of a bottle
and oh, tigers -
i saw tigers in your mind.
and oh, they are burning,
and i'm leaving you behind
yes i'm telling you
goodbye

here to love them
thought i saw a hoot owl
fly into my tree
was she looking back at me?
thought i saw some lightning
flashing through my sky
did it pause to wonder why?
stars across the sky:
do they know i'm here to love them?
oh, stars across the sky...
do they know i'm here...
to love them?
(instrumental)
thought i saw an old man smile
as he held his lady's hand
they were dancing in the sand
a fragrant rose is opening
her heart up to the sun
does she know that we are one?
stars across the sky:
do they know i'm here to love them?
oh, stars across the sky...
do they know i'm here...
to love them?

broken road
i walked
a broken road
and i called you god
and then i found my own
and i learned to love the emptiness
the night is dark and full of stars and freedom
and the earth is warm and holds me softly to her
i am safe at home
when the night asks me who do i love
you're all far away
none but the sky and the sea
to take away my broken heart
(instrumental)
and the wind rushing over the plains
speaks in tongues
when i lie on my back looking up
i am falling free
my eyes are filled with love
and the endless sea
in waves my broken heart
is filled with love and nectar sweet
nectar sweet

made up shoes

made up shoes
you had wings, not a care in the world
we watched you fly, and we hungered for your love
floating above, not a care in the world
you were made of smoke and ice
mirror, mirror, on the wall
we tried to do our hair like you:
electron glue and made up shoes
you were made of smoke and ice
mirror, mirror on the wall
we tried to do our hair like you
electron glue and made up shoes
sirens calling out from screens
your life could go by in the blink of an eye
as you sit on the couch and dream
oh, tie me to the mast
i hope this ship will take me fast
home to my garden
and what is real
and how that feels
i want to go hoooome
la la la
