Sea turtle, swimming gracefully
Knowing, knowing, knowing to be free
Great Honu, ancient mystery
I’m honored to be with you in this gentle sea
Teach me floating
Teach me your ways
Teach me to be free
Teach me to be here, always
Red lava, exquisite heat
Flowing, flowing, flowing to the sea
Kilauea, fiery mystery
I’m honored to be with you and I ask respectfully
Teach me burning
Teach me your ways
Teach me to be free
Teach me to be here, always
Free women, living by the sea
Growing, growing, growing like the trees
We are each other, a sacred mystery
I’m honored to be with you, learning to be free
Teach me beaming
Teach me your ways
Teach me to be free
Teach me to be here, always
Always

Call On Me
03:35
|
|||
|
When you feel rage, I will still love you
If you are scared, I will still care
When you are hurting, I will comfort
If you’re lonely, I’ll be there
I will not run and hide
When you are feeling weak inside
You can always call on me
When you are frightened of the future
And the past just weighs you down
I will anchor you in the present
And connect you to the ground
I will not disappear
When you are paralyzed by fear
You can always call on me
You can always call on me
I am living here inside you
I have always been
I’m the wise one who guides you
To your strength within
When you feel small, I’ll lift you higher
I will cradle you in my arms
When you are cold, I’ll light the fire
I will always keep you warm
I will protect your heart
When all your plans just fall apart
You can always call on me
You can always call on me
You can call on me, call on me, call on me

Do Me Any Good
03:35
|
|||
|
When you smile I feel a little spark inside my heart
I wonder if a tender flame could grow up from that spark
I think I kinda like you but I don’t know if I should
Cuz if you didn’t feel the same, wouldn’t do me any good
When you dance I like to watch you twirl across the floor
I like the way you leap and sway and I like the way you soar
I think I’d like to kiss you but I don’t know if I should
Cuz if you didn’t kiss me back, wouldn’t do me any good
Do you think I’m being too bold?
Or do you think I’m someone you could hold?
You know I have been hurt before and I’m cautious with my love
But lately when I daydream, well it’s you I’m thinking of
I think that I could love you but I don’t know if I should
Cuz if you broke my heart, it wouldn’t do me any good
Do you think that you could love me?
Or do you think I’m speaking way too recklessly?
Maybe I should keep all these wild feelings to myself
I really haven’t known you long enough to let them spill
I think I’d like to tell you but I don’t know if I should
Cuz if I played the fool it wouldn’t do me any good
If I played the fool it wouldn’t do me any good
If I played the fool it wouldn’t do me… any good

Love Is Fickle
04:31
|
|||
|
How I wish I had a sweetheart
Someone to be sweet to me
I wish I had a girlfriend, or a boyfriend, or both
Never more lonesome to be
How I wish I could locate my soulmate
I have been looking so long
Someone to squeeze me and kiss me goodnight
Someone to sing me a love song
They say if you only stop looking
Love will come knock on your gate
But I say love is fickle
And I’m getting tired of the wait
I used to believe in one true love
Many loves I have known
But they are all gone like last summer’s sun
And I am still sleeping alone
They say if you only stop looking
Love will come knock on your gate
But I say love is fickle
And I’m getting tired of the wait
I can’t see no use in just pining away
Waiting for love to appear
But oh, sweet goddess of love
Spirits below, spirits above
Please grant my prayer
How I long to be free of attachment
Be at peace on my own
But the roses are blooming and I’m only human
And I want a love to call home
They say if you only stop looking
Love will come knock on your gate
But I say love is fickle
And I’m getting tired of the wait
Yes, I say love is fickle
And I’m getting tired of the wait

My Grief
04:40
|
|||
|
I swore for you I would not fall
I tried my feelings to control
Thought I could keep this casual
I was mistaken
I tried to keep you at arms’ length
Using all my emotional strength
Now that our love’s come to an end
My soul is aching
Please…forgive my grief
You tried to open up to me
You did all that you could to please
As time went by I had to see
We’d found no balance
Now you are with some other girl
She is becoming your whole world
You forge ahead while I lie still
Hoping for solace
Please… forgive my grief
Now I attempt to let you go
Try not to let my feelings show
I will be true to my own soul
I shall prevail
I’ll keep my head above the storm
I’ll keep my own self safe and warm
And when I wake tomorrow morn
I’ll grieve no more
Please … release my grief

In Love with the World
03:42
|
|||
|
I’m in love with the World & She’s in love with me
She gives me everything I ever need
I’m in love with the World & She’s in love with me
I thank Her for oxygen
I bless Her for the wide open sky
I cherish Her for the winter wind
This breath that tells me I am alive
I thank Her for rivers
I bless Her for the rain pouring down
I cherish Her for the wide open sea
These tears that show me I am alive
I’m in love with the World & She’s in love with me
She gives me everything I ever need
I’m in love with the World & She’s in love with me
I thank Her for sunlight
I bless Her for the stars shining bright
I cherish Her for the gift of flame
This passion that keeps me alive
I thank Her for redwoods
I bless Her for the food we consume
I cherish Her for the mountains high
This body that is me, I’m alive
I’m in love with the World & She’s in love with me
She gives me everything I ever need
I’m in love with the World & She’s in love with me
I’m in love with the World & She’s in love with me

15 Minute Crush
03:26
|
|||
|
I met you only just last week
And for a moment we did speak
I don’t know what’s become of me
I want your body next to mine
You walk into the room, I blush
Through my body goes a rush
You are my fifteen minute crush
I feel your life force energy
I want to have some for myself
I’d like to take you home with me
And get to know you very well
You walk into the room, I blush
Through my body goes a rush
You are my fifteen minute crush
My lust has got me in a state
I’ll take it home to bed tonight
The fantasy that I create…
I will be feeling mighty fine
I’m already feeling mighty fine
Cuz I got you on my mind
Here’s what I’m thinking:
We’ll be gettin’ friendly
We’ll be gettin’ cozy
We’ll be gettin’ naked
We’ll be gettin’ married
Wait a minute, what am I saying?
You don’t even know me from your neighbor’s dog!
You walk into the room, I blush
Through my body goes a rush
You are my fifteen minute crush

Handy Little Invention
02:30
|
|||
|
Pardon me, sir, I have a question
Where did you get your driver’s license?
Way back in driver ed when they taught this simple thing
Did you decide that it was all nonsense?
If you want to turn left or you want to turn right
There’s a handy little invention
It’s called a turn signal, also a blinker
So next time display your intention!
It’s right there next to your steering wheel
That little knob sticking out on the side
If you push it down, on comes the left one
If you tap it up, you’re turning right
If you want to turn left or you want to turn right
There’s a handy little invention
It’s called a turn signal, also a blinker
So next time display your intention!
Now you might think I’m being nitpicky
And who am I to tell you how to drive?
But you nearly ran me off the road just now
As I rode by on my little bike
If you want to turn left or you want to turn right
There’s a handy little invention
It’s called a turn signal, also a blinker
So next time display your intention!

Maggie's Song
03:34
|

|
You were born on a winter’s night
In February into this life
Here is your mama, here is your daddy
See the happiness in their eyes
In their eyes
We have been waiting such a long time
For this precious angel girl
We bid you welcome Maggie Tallulah
Welcome to this world
Sweet as wild honey, tiny as a rose
We love your eyes and your ears and your nose
Your will is strong your beauty is complete
We love your long fingered hands and feet
Hands and feet
We have been waiting such a long time
For this precious angel girl
We bid you welcome Maggie Tallulah
Welcome to this world
I wish you endless joy in your heart
I wish you the moon and I wish you the stars
Abundant love in your family
Clean flowing water and fresh air to breathe
Oh to breathe
We have been waiting such a long time
For this precious angel girl
We bid you welcome sweet newborn spirit
Welcome to this world
Welcome to this world
Welcome to the world

Sweet and Rough
03:57
|
|||
|
Long and lean
You can be so mean
In a way that I like
You don’t have to ask twice
If you want me to lay down I will
If you’ll just touch my skin
I’m a vessel that longs to be filled
Please….
Come to me with your warm touch
And free me, sweet and rough
Sweet desire
Has blown my cool
You are the spark
You are the fuel
If you want me to say anything
I’m bewitched by your spell
Make me laugh, make me cry, make me sing
Please…
Come to me with your warm touch
And free me, sweet and rough
Not so long ago, I didn’t know you at all
Here you come with your kisses
And all I can do is fall
Not so long ago, I heard you call
Here you come with your wicked kisses
And all I can do is fall
If you want me to trust you I do
If you’ll just meet me here
I’m a blossom that’s open to you
Please…please…
Come to me with your warm touch
And free me, sweet and rough
Sweet and rough
Sweet and rough

Open my heart, let the light in
Let the light in to my soul

Body to the Worms
03:18
|
|||
|
When I die don’t cremate me
Don’t keep my ashes in an urn
Don’t fill me with formaldehyde
Just throw my body to the worms
Oh throw my body to the worms
Just let my flesh decompose
To the soil I shall return
So throw my body to the worms
When I’m gone do not preserve me
Like some old Egyptian mummy
I’ll be through with this body, I won’t need it anymore
And I’d like to see it turn to compost
Oh throw my body to the worms
Just let my flesh decompose
To the soil I shall return
So throw my body to the worms
Oh why should my spirit get to be the only one
Who reincarnates into another form?
My body’s made up of useful molecules
And nutrients for all those little worms
So if someday you’re standing out in my backyard
Wishing that I still was around
Just look around you at the flowers & the trees
Imagine how their cells came from me
Oh throw my body to the worms
Just let my flesh decompose
To the soil I shall return
So throw my body to the worms
Throw my body to the worms
Throw my body to the worms
