Blackthorne Winter

When February thaws before its time
I Hear spring peepers in far off woods
Bees come out in search of nectar
And the false spring withholds its goods
Dead leaves turn cartwheels in barren fields
Gray grass bends in the breeze
Sun flirts behind the clouds
But the sun has always been a tease
Blackthorne Winter go back where you came from
some southern stream in the northern skies
Blackthorne Winter bite your tongue
Don’t tell me no more lies
I’ve seen summers like this full of promise
Gold tongued whispers never last
Snow returns, heavy and jaded
A melancholy spirit from the past
Saint Teresa, Saint John
In the velvet season of fickle length
Help me remember in the whippoorwill winter
This brief imitation of strength

Only One

Between two rivers flooded by ideas of right and wrong
There’s a meadow where we met and we laid down our heavy souls
Beside the garden with overwhelming possibilities
There’s a stone path where we met and threw aside our jealousy
I thought I was the only one
Until I saw your face
You didn’t ask for anything
I knew that I’d be safe with you
Beneath the night sky clouded by suspicion and regret
There’s a street light where we met and traded hearts that have be spent
I thought I was the only one
Until I saw your face
You didn’t ask for anything
I knew that I’d be safe with you
You can have my heart
You can have my soul
You can have my voice and I will still be whole

Water or Fire

Each day I tend the flame, hey hey
A candle in your name
It bears my hopes and pain
Until it drowns in fire
There’s set before you , hey hey
Reach out your hand to choose
It will be given you
Water or fire
Oh it burns, hey hey
But it won’t burn down
The world it turns
But it won’t turn around
May my heart obey, hey hey
Make corrections
There’s guilt he takes away
And guilt I’ve been protecting
Friend of God, hey hey
Won’t you pray for me
Friend of God, hey hey
I’m on my knees
We cannot taste your blood, hey
Shed by fire of love
As we draw near to you
Clothe us in fire
You consume our soul, hey hey
Anoint our wounds with oil
And let your charity
Be our one desire
Friend of God, hey hey
Won’t you pray for me
Friend of God, hey hey
I’m on my knees
Oh it burns, hey hey
But it won’t burn down
The world it turns
But it won’t turn around

Burned it at Both Ends
03:45

We were made to be drawn to the warmth and the light
So how could we have known we were playing with fire
With the smoke in your voice and the light in your eyes
I loved you at first sight, I loved you at first sight
We burned it at both ends
We burned it at both ends
How little we knew before we began
Oh, we burned it at both ends
When we first sensed the danger we should have run off
But I am the flame and you are the moth
I am the powder and you are the spark
And the heart wants what it wants, the heart wants what it wants
Ashes, ashes, ashes we all fall
Ashes, ashes, ashes for your heart
We burned it at both ends
We burned it at both ends
If we only knew, we'd do it again
Oh, we burned it at both ends
