you chased me out into the snow 

we tripped and tumbled down 

I was buried in your arms 

so warm and cold 

you looked and found a child’s bike 

fractured and broken down 

it was buried in the back 

so red in white 

you chased me out into the woods 

we slipped and tumbled down 

I was buried in your arms 

so far from home 

footsteps in the snow 

and I alone 

have known where I’ve been 

footsteps in the snow 

can follow me 

from out my memory 

footsteps in the snow 

they fade away  

far from December 

footsteps in the snow 

invisible 

of everywhere I’ve been 

I heard you call into my sleep 

folded in blankets cold 

you were buried in his arms 

so warm and cold 

you saw me standing in the hall 

alone in shadows cold 

I was buried in the back 

so red in black 

I heard you call into the snow 

traces in blankets cold 

I was buried in his arms 

so far from home 

footsteps in the snow 

and I alone 

have known where I’ve been 

footsteps in the snow 

can follow me 

from out my memory 

footsteps in the snow 

they fade away  

far from December 

footsteps in the snow 

invisible 

of everywhere I’ve been

on this dirt road

but you expect me here

so you drive off

how could you here?

leaving me in the dust

but you expect me here

and you drive off

“how could you here?!”

you found me alone and I cried

“I’m lost and I don’t know where

from the start and from the heart”

I shivered in your arms

you held me alone as I cried

you asked for my photograph

“hold the scarf with the dust ‘round your eyes

bluer than these skies”

fearing the pleas that are hushed out of sight

fearing to wrong what is right

fearing they’ll take me deep in the night

fearing lies

turn down the highway

my friend look away

and cry out my name

somewhere alone

into the far off night

gone down the highway

I need you my friend

I’ll cry out your name

somewhere alone

from in the far off night

at the camp gate

but you expect me here

so you turn away

how could you here

leaving me at the gate

but you expect me here

and you turn away

“how could you here?!”

fearing the pleas that are hushed out of sight

fearing to wrong what is right

fearing they’ll take me deep in the night

fearing lies

turn down the highway

my friend look away

and forget my name

somewhere alone

out in the far off night

gone down the highway

I need you my friend

I’ll forget your name

somewhere alone deep

in the far off night

~ classical interlude ~

can’t you see me here

lost and always waiting

for someone to see

me for who I am

though I know

beauty unimagined

waits for me

I will rise

I will rise from dust

I will rise from dust

and you won’t see

me for who I am

say my name

at the gates of heaven

say my name

~ solo ~

turn down the highway

my friend look away

and cry out my name

somewhere alone

into the far off night

gone down the highway

I need you my friend

I’ll cry out your name

somewhere alone

from in the far off night

turn down the highway

my friend look away

and forget my name

somewhere alone

out in the far off night

gone down the highway

I need you my friend

I’ll forget your name

somewhere alone

deep in the far off night

in the disappearing days

in the desperate unknown ways

in the shattered dreams untold

in reflections long grown cold

through the never-ending grey

there’s a beating heart

refusing to fail and fold

soaring with the sparrows

hear you call my name

feel your softer arms around me

earth born angel you are mine

I see you finding someone missing

I don’t know who’s been left behind

I see you finding someone missing

and I don’t know who I’ll find

but I’ll look for you this time

in the misbegotten plays

in the calloused clumsy ways

in the shadow deals unsold

in deceptions long grown old

through the never-ending grey

there’s an aching heart

refusing to fail and fold

soaring with the sparrows

hear you call my name

feel your softer arms around me

earth born angel you are mine

I see you finding someone missing

I don’t know who’s been left behind

I see you finding someone missing

and I don’t know who I’ll find

but I’ll look for you this time

~ solo ~

soaring with the sparrows

hear you call my name

feel your softer arms around me

earth born angel you are mine

I see you finding someone missing

I don’t know who’s been left behind

I see you finding someone missing

and I don’t know who I’ll find

but I’ll look for you this time

no memory keeps you alive in me

another fading that leaves me alone

and I can’t raise you up in me

as this fading alone keeps on

the fading

of dreams come true

the longer your away

the loveliest landscapes

lost under drear skies

we lied down together

among flowers

you and I

each our own fallen angel

no longer living lies

no diary can bring a smile to me

another fading that leaves me alone

and my words have lost power to me

as this fading alone keeps on

the fading

of dreams come true

the longer your away

the loveliest landscapes

lost under drear skies

we lied down together

among flowers

you and I

each our fallen angel

no longer living lies

~ solo~

no history keeps you a part of me

another fading that leaves me alone

and those days disappeared in me

as this fading alone keeps on

the fading

of dreams come true

the longer your away

the loveliest landscapes

lost under drear skies

we lied down together

among flowers

you and I

each our fallen angel

no longer living lies

while we’re sitting on our own

we’re unsure of what’s to come

and while we’re texting on the phone

we’re unaware of what’s to come

while we’re waiting to get stoned

we’re unprepared for what’s to come

and while we’re buying what was grown

we do not care

we have poor sight

we point and shoot

framing questions later

taking such delight

we shoot on sight

saving prayers for later

and now the world will always see

the way we were before the fall

and so the world will always see

what was to come

while we’re thinking on our own

we’re unsure of what’s to come

and while we’re facing the unknown

we’re unaware of what’s to come

while we’re laughing rolling bones

we’re unprepared for what’s to come

and while we’re reaping what was sown

we do not care

we have poor sight

we point and shoot

framing questions later

taking such delight

we shoot on sight

saving prayers for later

and now the world will always see

the way we were before the fall

and so the world will always see

what was to come

I can feel you near me

here beneath

dark fall skies

a vague resemblance

of once we lived

unbound

sweet memories

with you now

unknown

I can hear you whisper

near under

dark fall trees

in vague remembrance

of once we lived

unbound

sweet memories

of us now

unknown
