Run Along Now

Go, run along now
There's a new rising Sun
Shadows shouldn't keep you
From the embers of its dawn
I've seen you dance with angels
I've seen you under the devil's thumb
How you glide like Ginger Rogers
Isn't the dance where you belong
I can't keep you beside me
And I can't cage you behind
Or bind your smile to yesterday
Twist you up in slivered twine
Go, be happy
Stand in tomorrow's hope
Jump the moon, weave your wand
Run along now, go

Fighting For The Roost

That's what love would do
It would keep love safe
It wouldn't trade in a blessing
For a miracle impossibly far away
Love would let her walk away
If that's where her heart led
Not block her from a wonderland
If she believes it lies ahead
It wouldn't bind her to good enough
Cause that's where it finds its home
Rather see her aim for the Milky Way
Than settle for the sediment down below
It wouldn't anchor happiness
Cause happy is meant to fly
Rather watch her flitter to the moon
Than watch her struggle with the climb

They Come In Birds

They come to me in birds
Like crystals come in snow
Drifting down like morning fog
Rising like peasants that overthrow
Like a breath offers another chance
Like forgiveness finds us redeemed
Like wishes tether to the stars
And weightlessness comes in dreams
