My baby is a redbird
Flying across the sky My baby is a bluebird Learning how to fly Your feathers want to Your feathers want to tickle me In the shower she swims right by me Freezing water so she's swimming rapidly Clouds are sleeping Sleepin in the sky Over Sara's eyes Dreams are lurking Lurkin by the bed And all I'm thinking are all the things you've said |

Surgery I stole from you
Surgery you stole from me Have believe in apathy Orange tree could be all a dream All that I have seen of him His money is such a lucky sin Your eyes see sweet but your mouth tastes tin The toothbrush is black That's the place where you're at And a snake holds the knife And a snake holds a knife All I see brings you close to me All I do brings me close to you Summer snake dance for dance's sake Into faraway, into faraway, faraway |

I've never told this story to another living soul
For fear it might awaken and the story would unfold Candles in a courtyard and a paper colored cat While demos danced on feathers and cosmos held the hat Next came their profession and a paper colored purr An umber armed albino and the crowd began to stir I slid behind a linden to swallow what I'd seen I slid behind a linden and to swallow what I'd seen Threads of grass and thumbles, needles made of hair Leaves a dance that stumbles, limbs laughed in the air Threads of grass and thumbles, needles made of hair Leaves a dance that stumbles, limbs laughed in the air And on the day you fall, whose name would you call The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know How to start a fire once the umbers cease to glow The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know How to start a fire once the umbers cease to glow |

When I'm on my way for a nature walk
I don't start to sing then I'll start to talk Where'd ya go Mrs. Sun? Ya juice it on up Re-tit on your tip And you squeeze it on up When I'm on my nerves on a shaky show I don't start to warm 'til you start to glow When your arms learn to breathe, they stick to your sleeve When your sleeves learn to walk, your legs learn to leave When your leaves learn to stay, your legs run away I was born in May then he moved away At the end of June into mid-July Now I'm on my way |

Sets stole your pack of goons and put them in this tune I've never been to Minnesota, still I'd love to live in Maine Never been to Salamanca, still I'd love to live in Spain Where'd ya go the blue buffoon? Your knuckles are out of tune Your window doesn't face the moon Are ya happy with whatcha prove? I've never been to Minnesota, still I'd love to live in Maine |

I lost the gloves that my mother gave to me
While on my ways to the make believe sea And I lost the rings that my lover gave to me While on my ways to the Red Salt Sea Dadaladoo... And I lost my ways to my happy pen club And ended up where I still can't say but I lost my favorite pen on the way And I lost my friend but that couldn't be I lost the friend who sang with me I lost my son but that couldn't be I lost the son who sat on my knee I lost my man I let inside me And I lost my friend that my love and I shared While on my ways to the make believe cares Dadaladoo... And I lost the tunes that stuck to my ears While on my ways to the make believe hears And I saw Sapiena she sang to the sea The only person left on the island was me Dadaladoo... And I love the man who took care of me He owns the ship the Charles C. Leary Yes I love the man who took care of me He sails the world on the Charles C. Leary |

Long song with words of all kinds
Song sung it sparkles and shines You paint the pools that lye on their backs Skip a stone and spit pass the cracks Blue song sung loose on my knees The wind sing for horseflies and bees Well who knows, explain Who knows, explain The sea song besides your eyes fine Your eyes note of colors and lines The sad song as the weather hold hands The love song stood loose but it stands The movers moved away The song sung let it stay The sea song besides your eyes fine Your eyes note of colors and lines The sad song as the weather held hands The love song stood loose but it stands The movers moved away The song sung let it stay Well who knows, explain |
