Yesterday

Yesterday the clouds seemed so close to me
Today they seem so far away
Distant purple gray
Puff puff puffs
Pattern the horizon
Pattern the horizon
And yesterday my hands could touch
Today my lips can just discuss
Yesterday
It’s clear to me I was where I was meant to be yesterday
It’s clear to me I was where I was meant to be yesterday
With everyone and everywhere
I go I leave
A piece of me
I take a bit just for the road
I’m on a gentle course
And yesterday it’s clear to me I was where I was meant to be yesterday
It’s clear to me I was where I was meant to be yesterday
Yesterday
Puff puff puffs pattern the horizon
Puff puff puffs pattern the horizon
Puff puff puffs
Puff puff pass
Puff puff pass
Puff puff pass
Puff puff puffs pattern the horizon
Puff puff puffs pattern the horizon
Puff puff pass
Puff puff pass
Puff puff pass
Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff pass
Puff puff pass

What seems like the end
might be the start of something fresh
What seems like a waste of time
might be the best way to spend it
And I wait for the day
when my back won’t ache with every step
(Oh when will it come)
Every consequence is a lesson to learn
a lesson to respect
(I have learned so much)
There’s games played called relationships
and games can start and end
(Oh it’s all right in the end)
And it’s a stupid state of affairs
when you can break rules others aren’t allowed to bend
Oooooh I was a fool
I was a fool
I was a fool who closed my books when I’m not forced to learn
No I’m not forced to learn
I was a fool who packed my bags when times get tough I hit the road
I was a fool
I was a fool
I was a fool
I was a fool
I was a fool
I was a fool
I’ve learned every consequence can be a lesson to learn
I’ve learned I’ve learned I’ve learned
I’ve learned I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve learned I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve got to unlearn
I’ve learned I’ve got to unlearn

Always Carry
02:38
|
|
||
Always carry the light
Let darkness fade
Let it slip or
Let it slide
A lighter cloud allows for more sun to shine
Always carry the head
Above the shoulder line
Visions may fall
But soon one will rise
So like the aspen tree does
Stand tall reach high
Always carry the breath
With softness and ease
Let it flow like a river
From your crown down to your feet
And always carry the calm
And move with the breeze
Carry the calm and move with the breeze
Carry the calm and move with the breeze
Move with the breeze
I’m trying to move
Move with the breeze
I’m trying
I’m trying so hard
I’m trying
I’m trying
I’ve been trying to move
Move with the breeze
I’m trying
I am in it I am in it I am in it I am in it I am in it I am in it
I am in it

Be Free With Love
02:35
|
|

I dream of white flowers
I dream of slow hours
I roll in daisies
I close my eyes
I smile at sights of you
We drive down lake roads
We said I love you 43 times today
44
We stopped to smell the roses
We stopped to lay again
And it's not like we're here for a long time
We're not here for a long time
Let's be free with love
You see we're not here for a long time
We're here for an unknown time
So let's be free with love

I was down
I took a trip down to the river
I was sitting on the river rocks
And I was just minding my own business
Reflecting
Soaking up the sun
And I heard the water splashing
And these kids laughing
And these geese
Geese geese
And I turned to the side and I see these kids throwing sticks at the geese
And I said something to the kids along the lines of be nice to the geese
You know they didn’t do anything to you
They asked me do you live down here
Do you live down here
I said I live here
I guess I live here
And then they left
And I looked down at my leg and I thought i saw a leach
And then I flicked it off into the river
But it was just a small twig
And then I wrote this song
Be nice to the geese

Be Nice To The Geese
01:54
|
|
||
Be nice to the geese
They're just like you
They're just trying to enjoy this life too
Be nice to the geese
What have they done to you
Be nice to the geese and everyone else too
Be nice to the leech
They need some loving too
Why can't you just give 'em blood
And then pull them off when they've had enough
So be nice to the leech
They don't mean to frighten you
Be nice to the leech and everyone else too
Be nice to the bees
They probably won't bite you
They're just trying to go about their day
So let them go on their way
It's perfectly normal to be frightened by a wasp
They're a little bit more sensitive to human interaction
But can you blame them?
So be tame and behave around them
And be nice to yourself
It's the hardest thing to do
Be nice to yourself and everyone else too

Will I Be Sad In Summer?
01:41
|
|

Feeling better
Sun is out
Feeling better
Scream and shout
Feeling better
Will this last?
Sun is out
I'm feeling good
Spring has come
I knew it would I knew it
I'm feeling better
I knew I would
But will this last
Will I be sad in summer, will I be sad
Will I be sad in summer, will I be sad
Will I be sad in summer, will I be sad
Will I be sad in summer, will I be sad
I feel it all
Like Feist do
I feel it all
Try my best like I've been taught to
Make the most out of the weather
The weather is fine today
I'm feeling better
The spring has come
The sun's out
I tell myself
I'm feeling better
But will this last
Will I be sad in summer, will I be sad
Will I be sad in summer, will I be sad
Will I be sad in summer, will I be sad
Will I be sad in summer, will I be sad

Two Is Too Few
01:50
|
|
||
I give give give
You take take take
Why do I give give give
So you can take take take
Am I only giving to be received
I have only so much energy
It’s on its way past the point of reciprocity
Do you even get what I’m trying to say
Or do you even care
Why do I give give give
So you can take
Just so you can take
But I’ll keep giving giving giving
So you can take take take
Everywhere I go feels like I’ve been there before
Everywhere I go looks like I’ve been there before
I’ve learned that three is a crowd
And four even more
But two is too few when it feels like one

My pen pours out blood blue water
On to these pages as my eyes pour out love
As my heart opens up to the spirit
As my spirit opens up to love
Open up to love
Open up to a love of one of all of everything
For I am in it
I am all of it
And all of it is love
For I am in it
I am in it
I am in it
I am in it
I am in it
I am in it
I am in it
I am in it
I am in it
I am in it
It is love
I am in it
It is love
I am in it
It is love
I am in it
And all of it is love
It is love
I am in it
It is love
I am in it
It is love
I am in it
And all of it is love

What does I am in it mean to you
I am in it
I am in it means
Well right now to me I am in it means that I can see myself in everything
Hello hello hello hello hello
So I am in it
Listen to me
What makes me makes you
So I can see myself in you
You are me and I am you
I can see myself in the trees
I can see myself in the leaves and the bees and the geese
I am it
What makes them makes me
I am in it
I am it
I am it
I am in it
I am in it
I am in it

Call me silly
Call me lost
Call me ridiculous
Call me what you must
But I’ve got a call
I got a call from God
Said to wake up and come home
It was midnight I felt movement
Midnight movement it rang through me
Twenty Twenty got good visions coming at me
There’s no fear here
And I know I got a call from God
Said to wake up and come home
Said to wake up and come home
Twenty Twenty got good visions
No confusion
There’s no fear here
And I know I got a call from God
I know
And it was
It was New Years
It was twenty twenty
We said happy new year
And I felt it I felt it
It was like a shiver through my body
It was like a shiver
I felt a shiver go down my body
It was two in the morning I came home and I sat down and I wrote this song
It felt good
Twenty twenty good visions
Twenty twenty got good visions coming at me
There’s no fear here
And I know I got a call from God
