HOW NOW
Look at you, look at you
Look at you, look at you
Ancient-treetop from the neck-up and newborn-calf in the knees
Will the goodness we have witnessed stay good for centuries?
This is so new, how now!
Look at you, look at you
Honey still hot from the tired bees
Sweet sap weeping from our favorite tree
Tell me will the goodness we have witnessed
stay good like this for centuries ?
You and me, let's get together!
Watch what you call for — all birds have a call
Look at you, look at you
Look at you, look at you

Exotic Bird

I hear your name
I don’t know who’s singing it outside my window
every morning, when I wake
first thing in the morning
I see your face
I don’t know who’s dragging you around everywhere I go
Exotic Bird perched on my shoulder
I don’t know who / I shouldn’t feel these things at all
I don’t know who / I shouldn’t answer when you call
I don’t know who / why do I open up my hand
I don’t know who / for you to land on?
Your name excites me
It’s the way the letters sing so well together
I hear it and my heart starts to remember
I don’t know who / I know that all birds have a call
I don’t know who / I shouldn’t feel these things at all
I don’t know who / why do I open up my hand
I don’t know who / for you to land on?
I don’t know who / Exotic Bird
I don’t know who / Exotic Bird
I don’t know who
Letters in my inbox
Calls on my landline
Drives through the canyon
Falling at the wrong time
Oh (e) we both (x) have (o) love (t) more (i) than (c) enough (b) of (i)
Oh (r) we both (d) have (e) love (x) more (o) than enough (t) of (i) (c)
But ‘if I needed someone to love’ . . .
I don’t know who, but someone drew
a hot bath the day we met
and it hasn’t cooled yet

Cyclone

CYCLONE
I saw it coming from a hundred miles away
I saw the sky turn from sapphire to grey
Every bird around had flown right out of sight
It was broad day but it looked like midnight
The branches dance a supernatural dressage
Everyone anticipating your barrage
They told me to board up the doors and all the glass
Told me to run for cover, wait for it to pass
You're a cyclone - once you get near me I won't know my home
You're a cyclone - once you get near me I will never never know my home again
I won't know my home
Now I lay out before you like a plain
The sky is darkening, it starts to rain
But lighting shows me something here
What is this? what's growing near?
Get near me now, get near me
You’re a cyclone - once you get near me I will never know my home no more
Kick! down! the glass and the doors! ‘cause I want you to come in
Get near me now, get near me

Feel Like A Man

FEEL LIKE A MAN
I feel like a man
haven't cried for weeks now
I feel like a man
I feel like a man
I make money, I’m in demand
You talk feelings from the edge of the bed
Saying I don't understand
But you know, I’ve got solutions — I’d kill for you
I feel like a man
Saw the stars tonight dying one by one
Living by a light that's already done
Never tried so hard
Oh I'm hunting what I can't see
I feel like a man
We who fly over seas to try to make it happen
We who must leave everything that's everlasting
Never had so much to lose
Chasing hunting cursing killing what I can't see
What can't I see?

Returning Current

RETURNING CURRENT
Like a monk or a mystic
quiet on the outside
northern lights colluding on the inside
The air around me humid as Hawaii
with my evaporated desire
I am recurring
I am tidal
returning current
Looking out at the surf, at the cursing waves
My good friend told me
My grandmother showed me
that every seventh wave is the biggest one
and seven years to the day
with those leaden dream legs
I’m trying to run, run, run away
I am recurring
I am tidal
returning current
When I feel this way I wanna run, run, run away
When I catch this wave I gotta ride it all the way
I am recurring
I am tidal
I am recurring
I am tidal
I am recurring
I am tidal
Returning current

Foothills

FOOTHILLS
The most ordinary stone can build a holy home
and flowering fields are grown at the foothills
The most ordinary bones can build a holy man
and flowering fields stand at the foothills of your body
Why'd you have to have a body
Why'd you have to have a body
Such a beautiful body
Why'd you have to
Sierras rise in silhouette — jagged shadows ragged flight
And I was caught in a hawk’s claw over the foothills of your body
Why'd you have to have a heart
Why'd you have to have a heart
Such a hale and blameless heart
Why'd you have to
In my carrel, in my home, poring over your body's tome
Staying up nights, staying up nights
Why'd you have to leave your body
Why'd you have to leave your body
Such a beautiful body
Oh why'd you have to, why’d you have to

Second Sight

SECOND SIGHT
The air is thin eight thousand feet high
Can't sleep in this cabin covered in pines
I go to the window to read the mountain's mind
Call out my question beyond the treeline
Never been so endlessly awake
By the window feel my whole body shake
‘Honey, may I have a word alone with the night?
You asked me a question I'll answer my whole life’
Send me a moon so bright it lights the room uncomfortably
It shines on you all night
It shines on me until I know
Send me a second sight
I’d like to have a word alone with the night
I need some good advice
Something new, something in the way
The sky was kneeling on my back to pray
‘Let's sleep on it, and in the morning I'll tell you outright
You asked me a question I'll answer my whole life’
Send me a moon so bright it lights the room uncomfortably
It shines on you all night
It shines on me until I know
Send me a second sight
I’d like to have a word alone with the night
Which way will we go
I need some good advice

COBALT CLEAR
We're up at four a.m. ‘cause the Santa Ana wind is at it again
She re-wrote the sky with smoke, signed her name with cinder
Breathing fire through the canyon, fire on the houses
Ocean crashed into ashes all down the beaches
This is how we began
When I watch your face flush with wild brush-fire
I feel cobalt-clear, Hawaii-blue, ready for you
cobalt-clear, Hawaii-blue, ready for you
Desire's got us caught in a circle of searchlights
This is how we did begin in the middle of our first night
Now here come the fire engines and the highway patrol
Saying we’ve got to leave our flags to burn on their poles
When I watch your face flush with wild brush-fire
I feel cobalt-clear, Hawaii-blue, ready for you
cobalt-clear, Hawaii-blue, ready for you
Not armageddon, just the beginning
Not armageddon, just the beginning
No no no not armageddagain
Cobalt-clear, Hawaii-blue, ready for you

TORN TO LIGHT
Though the songs of today are already passe
what to say, what to say
and their tired refrains once arrived featherweight
what to say, what to say
Oh that courage we felt when we stood in a ring of our friends
My father warned that my friends would all move on someday
So I tuned him out like some loud-shouting song
But then, no matter how unfeigned our fondness or how brave our bond
What to say
What to say
So Your inspiration came on a monday afterschool
All the gods leaned in at once to kiss their favorite fool
By the time I arrived You were torn to light
On that day
What to say

Wild Here

WILD HERE
I was a fire sign, I was fire-breathing
I was fire-breathing and yelling before I was speaking
When I asked permission and the answer was no
If the answer was no I'd rip out the heavens
It was Sunday in Encino and the answer was no
I threw a sun-hot river stone at my brother and shattered the window
And it was clear -
something wanted to be wild here
something wanted to be wild here
something wanted to be wild here
A sun-hot river stone just missed my poor brother
I miss my dear brother
It was a Monday in Arizona
a storm threw a rushing river at the road and shattered the windows
And here -
something wanted to be wild here
something wanted to be wild here
something wanted to be wild here
