The times were hard right from the start, but we thought that we could handle it
I didn’t know, you ran from your heart, I see now you were managing
I fell in love and fell apart, I hear it’s a common happening
I seemed to have crossed some fated stars, and can’t seem to begin again
Better try anyway, cause baby I don’t need you, but I want you to stay
I’m trying to show you the way, so darling let me see you, I’ll lead us to better days
The times were good, like I knew we could, and I finally knew happiness
Ancient friend, found once again, the knowledge of your sweet caress
He left my finger raw and asked forever after
You put your trust in that green god, but what about the Woman?
Better try anyway, cause baby I don’t need you, but I want you to stay
I’m trying to show you the way, so darling let me see you, I’ll lead us to better days
At last the man, a partner true, grew weary with the same old blues
I didn’t know quite what to do, for I had fought his demons too
The night had turned to something sharp, believe me love it was the lark
Safely hidden from the dark, it was the curse from the start
Better try anyway, cause baby I don’t need you, but I want you to stay
I’m trying to show you the way, so darling let me see you, I’ll lead us to better days
Better try anyway, cause baby I don’t need you, but I want you to stay
I’m trying to show you the way, so darling let me see you, I’ll lead us to better days

Oh how easy it was for you to break my heart
Til you did it again, I couldn’t see it was true
Though I may have been young and I can’t say I was smart
But my lost lover, you didn’t have to be cruel
Did I hear you lie in prayer, late last night?
With the promise of the stare from the other side?
I’d been waiting for you there, but you cried
“Death!” from realizing time had gone by
Oh how easy it was for you to break my heart
Til you did it again, I couldn’t see it was true
Though I may have been young and I can’t say I was smart
But my lost lover, you didn’t have to be cruel
For the birth of shaman work, I said “try”
But the worst was sealed then, with a sigh
While alone I walked to smoke in your park
With the next begun again in false start
Oh how easy it was for you to break my heart
Til you did it again, I couldn’t see it was true
Though I may have been young and I can’t say I was smart
But my lost lover, you didn’t have to be cruel
Oh how easy it was for you to break my heart
Til you did it again, I couldn’t see it was true
Though I may have been young and I can’t say I was smart
But my lost lover, you didn’t have to be cruel

When time moves a little, you try to make it better
And when it won’t budge they say stop wishing
But from here you see that made them stop living
So you try to do better, try to do better
That time when you were little, you tried to make it better
But got caught in the middle, it made you try harder
Thinking “maybe if I just worked a little smarter
Then I’d be enough for you, be enough for you”
Some times are for|giving, some time’s for getting bolder
I’ll meet you at the center, when we’re a little older
Til then good luck, I’ll oooooooooo
When you make love to me, I’ll make love to you
Keep, keep on it
Don’t stop on
Keep, keep on it
Don’t stop on
Keep, keep on it
Don’t stop on
Keep, keep on it
Don’t stop on

Woman, you’ve forgotten where you’ve been
Power from the dawn thought lost to them
Find it in the strength of all that ties
Fire you struck in your daughter’s eye
Faithful to the path laid by his hand
Paved of red clay, stolen for mortal man
Woman, you’ve been traded for a guise
Words fell out and got trapped between your thighs
I remember what fate had left untold
Found in tatters, but still it whispers bold
Tell me, how to really love you
Beyond what I always thought was true

While I wait and stay the night
Khamaseen, warm wind, come and blow
My heart fades while their skin glows.
Land of painted light:
Should I give up the fight?
The veil wears thin, oh mystery of fate loosen.
As I fall I ask:
Will the truth come to pass?
It’s for love I come!
Earth and sand the oldest friend
Tell me secrets of the end
Without fear I’ll reveal what I’ve kept hidden.

He called me one morning last week
Lovely weight/wait of liminal
A path finally set out to seek
What his heart has always known
The usual is quite sincere
But he won’t see until he goes
And they don’t know I know they hear
Tales of the undertow
Oooooooooooooooooooooo
Oooooooooooooooooooo
Sacred things I still hold dear
A dream of futures yet to grow
He called me once more in the night
Reaching for our hallowed sight
He talked of Earth’s forsaken vow
And spoke the spells of long ago
You know I love you
You know I love you
In spacetime hold love’s taste
But don’t let lifetimes go to waste
Talking that red cord/chord running through
Oooooooooooooooo
Ooooooooooooooooo
In spacetime hold love’s taste
But don’t let lifetimes go to waste
Talking that red cord/chord running through
Talking that red cord/chord running through
Talking that red cord/chord running through

[Improvise form using the three themes]
Theme 1:
You’ve got to lie to keep a lie alive
Theme 2:
When I was still a girl, I believed words people said
They created my world, I let it fill my head
Trying to be myself, I used what I’d been fed
Speaking falsehoods real,
I wanted truth instead
Theme 3:
Words are the first exit of an idea

Meeting Place

Far away
I needed to see me
But lately distance make me feel afraid
It’s been years
And I’m trying to let them know me
Hurrying back home, how did I wait
For the second half of their ride?
Oh what a strange Meeting Place
Those who we love don’t get to stay
Hold me close don’t hesitate
Stay with me now cause time won’t wait
Far from him
Pain seeking closure
But he’s choosing to go on a separate way
I rushed past
Sure I’d watch him getting older
Trusting in old fashioned promises made
Thinking we had minutes to waste
Oh what a strange Meeting Place
Some who we love don’t choose to stay
Hold me close don’t hesitate
Be with me now cause time won’t wait
Oh what a strange Meeting Place
Those who we love don’t get to stay
Hold me close don’t hesitate
Be with me now cause time won’t wait

My best friend
Why did you decide to be a violent man? Is it that you want somebody to notice
You’ve been crying?
I know it’s been
Harder than you think we all could understand, but holding in the dark to find some tenderness
Has got you tired.
I tried to help heal you too
But then I realized that’s only something that you can do.
I’m holding on to what I feel
But when your words don’t say what you mean, I just need something real.
I’m heartbroken
Tethered by the visions of our future’s past, or was it ecstasy of shared unhappiness
That’s got me grieving?
Do you remember when
The start of spring uttered young innocence? We were still kids, I like to think of us back then
It was easy.
I didn’t want to go
Leaving was the hardest thing I’ve ever known, but words of love your whispering don’t help me grow
When you keep harming.
My best friend
Thinking of the kids my body wants to have, I thought that you wanted to share the path
Of this living.
I tried to help heal you too
But then I realized that’s only something that you can do.
I’m letting go what wasn’t true
But if we keep on loving what’s left, that’s the same abuse.
I know it’s been
Several years of wanting to understand, but making peace gets harder when you reach back in
And I’m finally healing.
My best friend
Why do you decide to be a violent man? I’ve been here loving you and want to hear us laugh
But you keep harming.
