Skittish Horse

I'm a skittish horse
So be careful when you court me
Firm and steady grip
Or I'll run you off a cliff
I was a girl in the world you live
I am a woman in the ground you dig
When you came calling I was just a kid
Now that you've fallen I know what I did
Da da da da da da da da da da...
I remember well when you fell
I remember well when you fell from me

Spinning Wheels

Well I'm for this
And she's for that
And I can't switch
The makers hat
And you're for this
And he's for that
And you can't switch
The maker's hat
And we're for this
And they're for that
And we can't switch
The maker's hat
Oh don't you miss
When we were three
And we could be anything that we pleased
Oh I do wish
That I could be
All the things, all the things that he needs
But I'm for this
And she's for that
And I can't switch
The makers hat
And you're for this
And he's for that
And you can't switch
The maker's hat
And we're for that
And they're for this
And we can't crack
The maker's whip
Oh I do miss
When I was three
And I could be anything that I pleased
Oh I do wish
That I could be
All the things my mama says she sees
When you were born did you feel your God
Spinning wheels underneath your mother's love?

Onna Bugeisha

|
Queasy in the quiet morning
I cannot do this
You look like a samurai sleeping
I sleep like a fist
Ohhhh
How do we know
Ohhhh
When to go
One foot on the floor
Ready for a fight
I cannot sleep in this light

In the Valley of Enna
03:42
|

|
It's a valley of flowers
where my mother finds me
crying alone in the dirt
She picks up my hand and
brushes off sand and
understands all of my hurt
It's a valley of flowers
where my mother finds me
She teaches me colours and words
She cradles my nerves
like a tiny new bird
and places a bloom in my hand
We both watch it grow
in the sun in the snow
and she knows how it all comes to pass
Our love is a tree
rooted and free
holding the past as we laugh
It's a valley of flowers
where my mother finds me
She shows me the blood of my birth
She says it's hers and it's mine
and it flows all the time
and she plants my feet on the earth

Wish You Well
05:27
|

|
Where does the soul go
Where does it live
When we are dying
why's it stay hid
I cannot see yours
It went somewhere else
Some other body
taken down from the shelf
Oh darlin I wish you well
Oh darlin I wish you well
Maybe it's breathing
eons from now
I don't know why and
I don't know how
Maybe it's feeding
the roots of that tree
Maybe it's nothing
Oh darlin I wish you well
Oh darlin I wish you well
When I go flying
away from myself
I don't remember the things that I see
All I can say is it's never a dream
I leave I am empty
I leave I am empty
Oh then I return to myself
I remember the things that I've held
Oh the things this body has held
Oh the things this body has held
Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo
We wax and we wane like the moon
We are thoughts but we're animals too
Oh the things our bodies have held
Oh the things our bodies have held

Wells
02:48
|

|
There are wells in the ground
There are wells in the sky
We fall away
We fall away
Away Away Away
Carried to the ground
Away Away Away
Buried in the sky
I whispered lakes
You are full of lakes
You are full water
wells
I whispered lakes
You are full of lakes
You are full of water wells
You are full
You are full
You are full
You are full
You are full
You are full
I whispered lakes
You are full of lakes
You are full water
wells
I whispered lakes
You are full of lakes
You are full of water wells
You are full
You are full
You are full
You are full
You are full
You are full

Black

|

|
Black black black is the color
Black black black is the color
So you sold your soul
So you sold your soul
Ain't no cause for concern
Ain't no cause for concern
No cause for concern

Dissolving
04:17
|

|
I watch worlds dissolving
I watch worlds dissolving
You cut
You cut me deep
And I climbed and I climbed and I climbed and I climbed inside
You cut
You cut me deep
And I climbed and I climbed and I climbed and I climbed inside
Now I reflect all things
Now I am deeply free
I watch worlds dissolving
I watch worlds dissolving
