Easy, easy,. my man and me;. we could rest and remain here,. easily.. We are tested and pained by. what's beyond our bed;. we are blessed and sustained by.
I will pack all my pretty dresses. I will box up my high-heeled shoes. A sparkling ring for every finger. I'll put away and hide from view. . Coats of boucle, jacquard and cashmere.
Cosmia. . When you ate I saw your eyelashes. Saw them shake like wind on rushes. In the corn field when she called me. Moths surround me, thought they'd drown me.
That means no. Where I come from. I am cold. Out waiting for the day to come. I chew my lips. And I scratch my nose. Feels so good to be a rose. . Oh don't, don't you lift me up.
Feel the matress tense beneath me. Like the muscle of nonsleepy. Feathers flexing will defeat me. And it vexes me completely. . And the hexes heat covertly.
We sailed away on a winter's day. With fate as malleable as clay. But ships are fallible, I say. And the nautical, like all things, fades and I. Can recall our caravel:.
This is the song for Baby Birch.. I will never know you.. And at the back of what we've done,. there is that knowledge of you.. . I wish we could take every path..
Driven through by her own sword,. summer died last night, alone.. Even the ghosts. huddled up for warmth.. Autumn has come to my hometown.. . Friendly voices, dead and gone,.
Sending the first scouts over. Back from the place beyond the dawn:. Horse, bear your broken soldier. Eyes frozen wide at what went on. . And Time, in our camp, is moving.
I found a little plot of land,. in the garden of Eden.. It was dirt and dirt is all the same.. I tilled it with my two hands,. and I called it my very own;.

I never stopped and looked, I never paid attention to you. I didn't think that you were worth my time. A passing glance my way caught me on a day like today.
Words by Jen Foster. Music by Jen Foster & Danny Torroll. . Light the stars in your eyes. Quiet doubts in your mind. Follow me to the place where our colors bled.
Here I come, you better watch out. I'm falling like the rain. On the run from all of the clouds. They're chasing me away. I wish I could stay. But I am just not built that way, yeah.
I never noticed all the used black cars out on the road. I never noticed all the love songs that are on the radio. Until you left me. Now it's all too clear.
Words by Jen Foster & Kathy Scott. Music by Jen Foster. . Second grade, Billy Simms. Playing out by the jungle gym. All the boys laughed at him. For some sort of speech impediment.
Well, I saw you and I caught you. And I reeled you into dry land. And I cared for you, and I cradled you. And I nurtured you with my bare hands. . You were the one who got away.
Words by Jen Foster & Kathy Scott. Music by Jen Foster. . The black and white picture taken by a stranger. Out in the streets of New Orleans. The blanket I stole from that hotel in London.
I've centered my whole life around your every need. And I took you as you are and never tried to change a thing. And I never once complained. 'Cause I love you.
Words by Jen Foster. Music by Jen Foster & Danny Torroll. . Day begins, break of noon. A little light might be nice in this room. Tangled in sheets, on second thought.
