The Jolly Of July
02:53

T'was in the jolly of July
I went to see my maiden
I boarded up a sailing boat
And crossed the lonesome ocean
And in the jolly of July
I bought my maid a flower
I bloomed it in my suitcase latch
And fed it every hour
And in the jolly of July
I threw my maid a party
And everyone was there to sing
Yes, everyone but she
And in the jolly of July
I wrote my maid a letter
She never wrote me back and so
I guess she's feeling better
And now my maiden's gone to bed
A'resting in the fire
And sweet the jolly of July
Breeds roses, thorns, and briars.
And sweet the jolly of July
Breeds roses, thorns, and briars

Like A Lightbulb

You and I have got our colors mixed
We show each other simple parlor tricks
And I see you like the sun sees the moon
Months turn into days and days to nights
You fill my glass with gold, my sky with kites
And I see you; at least, I'm trying to
Ooh, you could lick me like a lightbulb
I will electrify your mind
And if you were a roadside, I'd park by you and leave
Every other destination behind
And when we finish here, our paths won't cross
You say to hold you close; well, you're the boss
And you see me beneath the bluebirch tree
So where we go from here, well, I don't know
Where you lead I cannot follow
But you see me
Temporarily
When you draw stripes, I see the rainbow
When I get lost in you, I find
That when I'm by your wayside, you make me want to leave
Every other destination behind
Ooh, you could lick me like a lightbulb
I will electrify your mind
And if you were a roadside, I'd park by you and leave
Every other destination behind

Let Me Be
03:00

A fall
A drop
A wall
A stop
Deep underground
I scream
I sink
A drop
I drink
I come around
You break through
You break through
And time's as sweet as memory
But I forget so easily
I forget me
A taste
A life
A waste
A bite
I drown
A risk
I take
a wish
I make
without a sound
You break through
You break through
And times as sweet as memory
But I forget so easily
I forget me
Wish for me
Wish for me not
Let me be
Let me be

To The Moon

Las olas nos llevan al mar, al mar
Las olas nos llevan al mar, al mar
Mientras que tu vuelves acá, mi amor
Mientras que tu vuelves acá
The water, it leads to the land, the land
The water, it leads to the land
As your fingers lead back to my hand, my love,
Your fingers lead back to my hand
And if you should lose the way
De noche o de dia, cariño
Just say the word and I{ll come be beside you
Guiándote hacia el destino
La sol nos lleva la luna, la luna
La sol nos lleva la luna
Sí pronto saldras de la cunha, amor
Sí pronto saldras de la cunha
The sun, it will lead to the moon, the moon
The sun, it will lead to the moon
But you'll leave my side so soon, my love
Yes you'll leave my side so soon
Y si pierdes el camino
By light or by night or by day
Llamame amore a tu lado estaré
I will guide you when you stray
La sol nos lleva la luna, la luna
La sol nos lleva la luna
Sí pronto saldras de la cunha, amor
Sí pronto saldras de la cunha

Blue Lagoon

Assuredly, I was the man in the moon
When time was young and sprightly
And as now I reflect (I don't mean to project)
I took the position lightly
And back then, when I was the man in the moon
I had no expectations,
No errands to run, no bottles of rum
No liquor, but no obligations
The phases wax, the phases wane
As churns the troubled sea
I sing my friends this sailor tune
As time moves endlessly
I shone on parties, evening gowns,
I shone on foreign shores
I shone on distant, dulcet towns
And now I shine no more
I hung in the sky when time was dry
When nothing sweet was blooming
But in the dripping distance, I saw
Discomforted shapes were looming
The sun and I would playfully fight
Over who was prettier
Day or Night
As I would tenderly tug at the tides
Around the earth we would gently glide
We'd have scholarly talk
Poetry, Plays
Geometry, Aristotle
And then, I discovered the bottle
Assuredly, I was the man in the moon
When time was overflowing
When small-ship sailors swam and swum
And swiftly stopped their rowing
When they came ashore
But I'm not the man in the moon anymore
The phases wax, the phases wane
As churns the troubled sea
I sing my friends this sailor tune
As time moves endlessly
I shone on earths of reds and browns
I shone on paramours
I shone on jewels, I shone on crowns
And now I shine no more
I was perfect
And I was wise
The world was full of lullabies
Time set sail on a blue lagoon
When I was the man in the moon
When I was the man in the moon

Southern Lights
03:53
|

Southern lights painting the sky
Southern lights catching my eye
Southern lights make me fly real high
Southern lights
Southern lights invite you in
Southern lights: hey, come for a swim
Southern lights, the night stays dim
Southern lights
Picture perfect, just for a minute
I can love the whole world and everyone in it
If the lights don't fade, I could sit here forever
Facing the heavens, fluffing my feathers
Southern lights calling me home
Southern lights - when I pick up the phone
I hear the southern lights through the dial tone
Southern lights

Full Fathom Five
02:54

Weeping child of solid stone
Left to linger all alone
Down here at full fathom five
Seventh son of seventh son
You can hide but cannot run
Down here at full fathom five
Rat-tailed faces, terraform
Bourbon's traces keep you warm
Daughter dear of wind and rain
Slam against the windowpane
Broken at full fathom five
Child of wine and winter fair
Hold your tongue in silent prayer
Down here at full fathom five
Drown your books and strangely float
Look for shards of brine and boat
Panic blossom, petal soft
Held like light, aloof, aloft,
Uplifting full fathom five
Sleep, child, sleep
The waves will be your keep
Sleep, child, sleep
Sleep, child
