The leaves
Of Sunday mornings past
Disappear
In flames
Of seasons changing fast
And faster every year
And moons
Red with hopeless blood
Come on wings white with
Ash
Stirred up by the flood
We all prayed would last
Til love could breathe again
A dove swallowed by the wind
Your eyes an ark to carry it to land...

Heads Up
Actually, keeping my head down...
The weather's getting warm.
The sunburn feels good.
There's new rock n' roll pouring out of the speakers, there are new songs pouring out of the pores...
News soon.
Love,

Crystal
An emptiness abounds
The growing summer light
I'm sinking into sounds
Of the city's rush to life
Crystal dreams tend to break
Crystal hearts can't be shaped
I walked alone along the lake
Until my tears had dried
Forgetting all our sins
As the blood is washed away
Beneath we find new skin
It comes back day by day
Crystal dreams tend to break
Crystal hearts can't be shaped
I walked alone along the lake
Until my tears had dried
Crystal dreams tend to break
Crystal hearts can't be shaped
I walked alone along the lake
Beneath the crystal stars we made
And crystal nights and crystal days
Are all that's left of what we gave
Are all that's left, are all we saved
And now my tears have dried

The Song I Never Wrote
This is the song I never wrote
With words I never spoke
About the last time I was there
When I stepped into the air
And when he's holding you
I want you to know
It's okay
It's okay
I'm sorry
These are the things I couldn't say
With chords I couldn't play
How all our desparate days
Stay with us as we fade away
And when he's holding you
I want you to know
It's okay
It's okay
I'm sorry
