Time to close the window, this is more than a breeze
The birds have all gone quiet in the bending trees
They worry about their hollow bones
And wonder will the branches break
And leave them with no hope no chance against the wind
The heart is more an engine than a metaphor for love
It’s practical, efficient but it’s heavy with blood
Heavy on my hollow bones
I wonder will the branches break
And leave me with hope no chance against the wind
An empty heart, is as light as a feather
Filling it with love - is nothing but a tether
Blame it on my heart, as light as a feather
Taking by the wind, when I’m ready to surrender
With my hollow bones
And all these empty aches
And I’m alone, no chance against the wind
And every time I let love in
I wonder will the branches break
And leave me with no hope no chance against the wind
Every time we let love in
It’s for another chance to fly
And maybe we won’t spend another night alone

Canyon Of Canopies
When will this vessel meet the land We often wonder, it’s just conjecture The definition of implication Does not include your Miscalculation Look above you covered …
Dust
Dust on the desk On the bed On my car keys Dust on my tongue On my heart In my bloodstream Caught in my mind While this dust settles on me Locked like a frame In a film …
Easy To Say Goodbye
Goodbye never seemed so good It’s in the neighborhood of good riddance So long, finally, farewell And I don’t care if you can tell It’s easy to say …
Easy Way Out
Under the bed, a vintage suitcase Gathering dust for awhile A rebel at heart forced to reconcile We traded the travel for the daughter Get back on the road someday …
