Purple Pants 04:57
purple pants my purple pants were perforated in the hot midday air it must have gone down in those still waters i didn't see the hole was there but kasia she sang "you can't go out in public looking like that" take off those purple pants and i'll fix that hole thats at your bottom swift red thread, a few stitches things are looking up and now she's mended my purple pants in the shape of an "L" "though there are no more rips or tears," she sang, "its not enough. i think that you should set off and sew more stitches spelling out love" it starts with an "L" but it isn't there. swift crimson vein, threading hot air its that crinkle in her eyes when she sews that smile ascending possibility of travelers mind well she aint the one, she was just down for the count, and you think for a moment it all will work out, but you know the moments they passing and you find you're alone, though theres more to sing, more to be sewn. you're running up and out you're at worlds end just looking and looking for someone to mend your purple pants. who will spell out love for me?

Pai 02:23
pai can you here it? can you here it coming? here it comes… here comes the count once again I'm in a foreign land, tucked inside a van with my budding plans and wandering hands rising up a winding road without a doubt the only way to go we can't look back can't see below with our eyes trained skyward, to the flickering glow a mass of floating lanterns straining from our grasps filling up with hot air like the breath that came to pass between us in the bungalow when i saw it all laid bare in that small globe of dappled light, linger softly in your hair the lanterns fill with promise too of holy unbounded light when will we release them to the wilds of the night see all around they're counting down before they let them go lets make the jump, lets count it up, without a doubt the only way to go 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 take me two the top four I'm a fixin' for heavens gate 'cause

Open Heart 06:08
open heart i have found a girl and its opened my heart it has opened my heart i have found a girl and its opened my heart we were sitting on our bamboo porch when i started thinking fully through how easy we could make the trip up to vertiginous tip and so i shouted yea, i cannot turn it down see all around there is a steaming jungle growing though you first remained in cool repose hot volume now afflicts us both, we shout "i could never foresee that id open my heart it had seemed so hard to open my heart yea but I've opened my heart" we were tramping cross that bamboo bridge when i started singing fully from the bottom of my heart and once it started its ascent into the flaming dusk i could not turn it off like the waters that course beneath our feet or a sanguine thread, weaving to the beat we couldn't turn it off we sang "we were never apart right from the start when you open your heart you're never apart you get the whole of the heart" i have found the world and its opened my heart it has opened my heart i have found the world and its opened my heart that is love, etc

Fiji 07:58
fiji pt i eye, land, sea, all around feverish winds and i cannot cool down i cannot abide all these dropping doubloons the misty morning glow persists till afternoon hey doc, whats the tack, can you dose me a lullaby or two? pt ii you can see the seasons swapping when you move up to the northern hemisphere and all the things you could accomplish inside hunkered down away from winters drear my dear its clear oh dear its clear i fear its clear it seems i spoke too soon the dissipating afternoon matures to moonlight dripping down like tears upon a wedding gown you've grown my child so come on home erase the mountains you have known embrace the fistfuls of doubloons you said "I'm ready" didn't you? i could not foresee it would be so hard i want to go back up (back up) up to the keening fire kites (hold on) where the air is thinner (to every little word) and our hearts lay untamed (i had found the world) i want to hold on to you but it aint the same i can't yet comprehend why the seasons change just from boarding an airplane pt iii you ever wonder what you meant when you said "forever yours"? 'cause the first time we made love i espoused a temporal infinity wherein every single moment lasts forever in the eyes of a fifth dimensional being but i suspect you were more literal and thus i gotta ask what the fuck were you thinking yea what the fuck were you thinking i wanna know what the fuck were you thinking i wanna know, as a student of psychology a third party observer of phenomena perplexing me i wanna get inside you, get inside your head but i can't hope to escape my quiescent enmity when i cling to every little word i wanna know if i can believe half of what i heard pt iv that is love we have lost from our hearts

Inner Life 04:50
inner life i wanted you i must admit to feel like shit alone in these dark waters i would wallow everyday until you'd say that you were wrong even though id swallowed all my medicine and through the looking glass half empty is no fun whats more I'm done, I've just become all that I've done i just begun to chase a little ray of sunshine she is my light, my burning star and fills me up with helium so i can burn a little too to whom it may concern i'll not be going down without a fight i wish that i could grasp the tenets of pacifism in my inner life why did i find the labor of letting go to be so goddam precarious I'm sorry, not to you, but to the universe to which we all belong to wit, it won't be long till we quit our silly little games and i find my place and represent my piece and maybe find some peace in my inner life

Galicia 05:59
galicia gonna walk for ya gonna walk for a while gonna walk four hundred seventy eight miles gonna walk to heaven yea gonna walk through the void gonna walk for ya gonna walk for your smile for your eyes and your breath far too long in exile gonna walk through plains through the vast remains of early reapings heaped up in their silos while the miles pile anonymous we have crossed our hearts a hundred times gonna walk through the rain and hail to the chief, the sleet and sweat begetting sweet spring blooms a buzzing with beginnings in the middle when we find each other halfway through our lessons learned thus halfway to becoming lovers sleeping over, going under hark ahead a hill, do tell do you think that we should be rising sizing up the forking path drawing helium with each breath i plunder from your sunken lips so this is altitude sickness i cannot eat, its all a dream i must have counted every sheep and everyone can see we got the view and everyone can sing "we get the picture too"

across the ocean in the night, inhale the cool mountain air while the stars blink heartbeats across the milky way and you say "all the little lights you see over there? they could be homes on an island and the valley, the sea" now we sit some in silence, and i think of kissing you while my heart pumps madly, and i'm sure you can tell that just for a moment, for a moment too short i can see homes on an island amidst the endless sea now i sit again in silence, and i think of kissing you but we're not in the mountains, below the milky way yet you taught me one thing, that night of our first embrace when you saw homes on an island and the valley, the sea: though distances seem great, just close your eyes and you'll see you will be home across the ocean right here with me

adventure with you i want to make every day an adventure with you we'll grab our treasure map, start a flambeau flaming to illumine all the dark little spaces a woolen mantle to keep us warm i'll stash my lute to keep the music rolling on a couple flakes of flint to light the fire a flowing flagon to ensure it burns the whole night through and you can navigate by the stars one hand on the helm and the other warm in mine as we let the wheel turn i want to make every day an adventure with you we'll grab a burlap sack of paints and clay to give color and form to all our dreams in the night, by candlelight with our bodies spent and minds open wide to every possibility unfolding skyward like the cypress trees that line the shore our fortunes bound unto the bending mast the present ever rushing past the waters and wheels that move us on and on i want to make every day an adventure with you we'll pass from oceanside to tallest mountain subsisting on the love we found there with our walking stick in hand we'll venture out into virgin lands and in our camelback cavalcade we'll explore new routes for foreign trade and in our sturdy caravel we'll circumnavigate the world and in our steam powered locomotive we'll be crossing bridges till them borders is broken and in our hydrogen dirigible we'll soar so high above the ocean swells and in our comfy bed at home we'll open up unto the unknown 'cause want to make everyday an adventure with you

Letting Go 06:00
letting go you're letting me go i thought you should know you're letting me go so i'm letting go i am letting you go my love its time to let go let's go for a walk on the precipice lean into the breeze and stand tall breath in deep of the pacific mist are you scared of heights or just scared of the fall? and i still burn for my love but as i slip into the endless sea my soul sputters out to ash into my convalescent lungs is the temple burning up or is it burning down? let's go for a walk in the desert dry mountain tops on fire, and beyond the sea unseen let it all out, let it settle down let go of yourself, let go of myself

La Playa 04:10
la playa i feel alone and thats ok, and thats ok and i do walk until i find, i find my way i do traverse the topographies of love and it does tell what i am, what i am made of i do walk and it does tell what is inside this complex world slowly blowing open wide unto my fragile mind that strengthens as it slips into the unity that letting go can give oh i have loved as i have wandered up and down and now i know my love, i know where home is found
