Little old box,
This may the last time I hold you in my hands,
I’ve been thinking, maybe drinking too much,
I’ve been busy making plans.
Your hinges are worn out like seams,
From holding and hiding my dreams,
All my childish and ignorant schemes,
Are paper thin and worn.
And you are my souvenir,
You’ve carried my secrets for far too long,
The end of another year has made me feel strong,
I will scatter the thoughts left inside,
I will let them float down in the tide at the edge of the bay,
And I will stay to watch us fade.
Little old box,
Just a small wooden space that I filled with my heart,
I’ve been waiting, maybe hating too much,
But I know I’d return to the start,
I knew in the back of my mind,
That the truth would be easy to find,
You told me my love made me blind,
From the day I was born.

I Don't Want to Lie
Speak to me
Softly covering my mind and my soul
Holding up a picture that you want me to see
Playing out the role of a person you want to be
I don’t want to lie, like you do
I don’t want to put on new faces, to show you
I just want to try and woo you
Cos everything I am, stands in front of you
Come to me
Lay with me stripped bare of your disguise
Offer me the courtesy of your reality
Let me see the person that you were born to be
I don’t want to lie, like you do
I don’t want to put on new faces, to show you
I just want to try and woo you
Cos everything I am, stands in front of you

Lyrics
I admit I didn't sleep much last night
I hold on and try not to fight it anymore
I can hear the sound of the footsteps coming
And I can hear the old church bell ringing
Ringing on that day
I can feel the fear of the full moon rising
And I can feel the rush of the red river running
Running, running down my veins
So now you know why I didn't stick around
You realize I never held much meaning to precious things
I tried to see but I never paid much mind
To go alone, a day without warning was all I needed to find
I can hear the sound of the footsteps coming
And I can hear the old church bell ringing
Ringing on that day
I can feel the fear of the full moon rising
And I can feel the rush of the cold river running
Running, running down my veins

I remember – the days of sunlight
At the garden table – the happy faces
Everyone had a tale
Fooled around, ate some drink some
Those are the days to remember
Everyone was there
Children playing
The dog running – in circles
I remember your face
With a smile
Preciously caught in time
Those were the days – my pride
I want to recall this time
The way we were back then
Easy and so cheerful
Those were the days – my anchor
All that I want remember
The way it used to be
Without a future worry
(remember, remember, remember)
Those were the days – my pride
I want to recall this time
The way we were back then
Easy and so cheerful
Those were the days – my anchor
All that I want remember
The way it used to be
Without a future worry
Those days are gone now
Lying in the tall grass
You took my hand and I
Knew that you’d understand
Nothing lasts forever
Despite what we endeavor
We ceased the days of blessing
All of what I’m caressing

lyrics:
Hey yoh brothers and sisters
Join and unite
the freedom of mind
it’s the original kind
of love – no strive
Free thinking is our means
Our tongue is our speak
Release your mind
Wish no unkind
Just a free world - in rhyme
What do you want
What do we need
For a better world
Freedom is our right
Outright
Upright
Unite
No privileges for the rich
For the rulers no benefits
Equality
Is the new quality
Our true democracy
Join and unite
For peace - no need to hide
Stand up for your right
And freedom of mind
We are the creators of our time
What do you want
What do we need
For a better world
Freedom is our right
Let love rule
Within the ridicule
Of our existence
No outdistance
The freedom of you
Let us speak
Let us listen
To one another
Peace sisters and brothers
Is our earth mother
It starts from the heart
We’re not apart
Nothing keeps us from
Being strong and numerous
We stay luminous
Hey yoh brothers and sisters
Unite and join
Turn the coin
Embrace your des moines
Of love to adjoin
Outright
Upright
Unite
Shine bright
Freedom of mind

A sweet farewell for those who love in springtime
Grateful hearts but time has come to part.
A melody, and fill it in a song
a fine refrain.
then leave without a pain.
With music in our hearts

Your Smiling Heart
I saw you in June just a couple of years ago smiling
A hound at your heel as you walked the wheel
With a glow in your cheek born from spending the week on the beaches of this land
A welcoming word and a compliment close to your hand
But where did you go
Why take your smiling eyes
Why take your smiling eyes
So you stood at the gateway watched tears wear sad tracks down our faces
I swear I felt you there but your kind smile remained
You watched while dozens of wishes bounced harmlessly back from your polished wooden walls
For it’s time for your kith to continue their journeys alone
And where have you gone
Why take your generous heart
And we miss your smiling heart
But where did you go
Why take your smiling eyes
Why take your smiling eyes
