If I Told You

If I told you I loved you would you run away?
Love is the easiest word to say
Some people wave it around like a sword
But how can love be such a dirty word
How can love be such a dirty word
I said I love you to you in my head
I even dreamt that we laid in my bed
But I still refuse to relay truth to you
There are no mountains on the avenue
There are no mountains on the avenue
Run away, run away
I would hate if you stayed
Run away, run away
I would hate if you stayed
I would hate if you stayed
I just don't know how much more I can take
I'm gonna make my whole life an escape
Let all the lost find their comfort in me
But you can't see the sky when you're down on your knees
No, you can't see the sky when you're down on your knees
No you can't see the sky when you're down on your knees

Is love a liar who leads me to death,
beats into my heart and then catches my breath,
lures me with sweet words then ensnares me with thorns
a symphony heavy with drums and with horns?
Is love a facade meant to uncross my legs?
Is love a child who implores and begs?
Is love the powers of nature combined
to push me ahead and then leave me behind?
In the middle of the moment there is no way I will know
And though I listen, it is only my decision where I go
Is love a secret for no one but me?
Is love the gate to immortality?
Is love a fountain from which I must drink?
In matters of love is it pointless to think?
Love is a question we answer each day
Love is so much more than the words that we say
Love stands on tiptoe to land in our ears
Love is the birth and the death of our fears
In the middle of the moment there is no way I will know
and though I listen it is only my decision where I go
But no matter where love leads I won't be infinitely hurt
For maybe love is nothing but a lesson I will learn

Back Porch
03:30
|

If you tell me that you're leaving
I won't mind
I'll be sitting on my back porch
sipping wine
As the moon is shining in my window
I turn away
For the only reason why you're leaving
Is so I'll stay
Please give me another reason
To be here
In the corners of my memory
You are near
As the sun is shining in my window
I stir awake
After everything that you have given
I only take
Whisper secrets while I'm sleeping
I will hear
In the dancing light of morning
One thing's clear
Oh, I never wanted you to leave me
I only feared
That my heart was still too weak to hold
Someone else so dear
Oooh
Oooh
Ahhh, Oooh
Ahhh, Oooh
Oh I never wanted you to leave me
I only feared
That my heart was still too weak to hold
Someone else so dear
If you tell me that you're leaving
I won't mind
I'll be sitting on my back porch
Sipping wine

When I Was a Child

When I was a child
I never understood why
I could see the moon in the daytime
Now that I've grown
I've come to know that
the only reason we can see the moon
Is because the sun shines
When I was a child
I thought that the moon must
follow me everywhere I go
Everywhere
Now that I've grown
I've come to know that
The moon doesn't follow me at all
It's just always there
When I was small
I slept with a blanket
a pillow and a doll
Now that I'm tall
I haven't changed much at all
I've got a blanket, a pillow, and a doll
and my guitar
When I was small I hardly feared anyone
But I was afraid of God
Now that I'm tall I'm still afraid of God
and I don't know which direction I should run
Would I run away if it meant I would never again see the sun?
Or is the moon enough?
Or is the moon enough?

Twin City Love Song

Scatter my ashes on hallowed ground
Where they can easily be found
Not for sake of audience
But for progress out of chance
Not by holy dictation
But by subtle fluctuation
Caused by little stones we throw
Mixed with predetermined flow
Let my ashes wake the pond
Till it meets with the beyond
Let these ripples vibrate on
To reverberating dawn
