fade into the light

Went down to the meadow for to catch my rest
from a pretty little thing that I could not forget.
The colours of my mind were wild in bloom,
for a little peace I knew I had to see them through.
The colours of my mind were wild in bloom,
so I shared them with the meadows and the moon.
Will I still see you when I fade into the light?
Went down to the river for to wash my sins,
but when I saw what the poor girl was carrying,
well I soon became insignificant –
and I wished I was a river for to wash her in.
I soon became insignificant,
a teardrop in the ocean.
Will I still see you when I fade into the light?
Born of the water but I’m flying now.
Stuff of the Ocean and the Skys above.
There’s nothing quite like a little Mayfly life,
I’m dancing for the Minnows and the Starry night.
There’s nothing quite like a little Mayfly life,
To live is to breath is to die.
I went down deep,
when I came back up,
I couldn’t tell where I had been.

You be my poppy i’ll be your lilly
I’ll be clover if you come and lie down in me
If I were a black eyed sue
would you pick me, would you?
How’s about a golden aster in a foggy morning dew
Or a pearl everlasting
Ever holding on to you
If love was never here to stay,
I was never meant to wait.
You can find me in the pavement pale,
I’ve been blushing for you can’t you tell..
I want to be your flower
When I go to bloom in the meadow
I’d like for you to see me glow
I wonder if you don’t show
will I still be beautiful?
How’s about a dandelion
rooted there at your side.
Or I could be a rock rose
your tough little blossom stone.
If Love was never meant to stay,
I was never meant to wait.
You can find me in your meadow swaying,
I’ve been drinking with those wild wild winds..
I want to be your flower
I’ve been here for a while my dear
though you seldom care to know I’m there.
But someday you’ll stop to smell the flowers
And on that day will be my hour.
So I’m going away for a while my love, like I have been gone before.
When I return to you, I’ll come knocking at your door.
If Love was never meant to stay,
I was never meant to wait.
You can find me in your garden some day,
you can keep me in your garden always..
Tell me I’m your flower, I want to be your flower

won't be me

in the morning when i'm gone
birds will sing my song
wish i were a little chickadee
blowing in the wind
won't you tell me where to go
when i'm feeling low
won't you tell me who to be
when I won't be me

the little mayfly
01:48
|

|
i'm braiding my hair in the morning time
dawning my dress for a ride
down by the dew-side riverlight
to witness the death of the little mayfly
when all the trillium have bloomed on
that's when the mayfly come
'we were born we were born with the dawn
we fly with the sun and we die when it's gone'

We're all praying for you Emily
we're all wishing for your company
Dickinson is locked up in her room again
crying for Edgar Allan who had a vision
Poor Edgar Allan had a vision of a demon
Dickinson is going to die of sorrow
by the setting of the sun in the morrow
We're all praying for you Emily
we're all wising for your company
He said I'd like to help you with your troubles down the road
but I did not have the heart to say
You can try and take away my devils
but I'll be gone by the end of the day
Love you stayed much longer than you should have
but I'd have had you for more
but you said sorrow will be leaving in the morning
so I took off but the ache of the dawn
We're all praying for you Emily
we're all wising for your company
She said 'I closed the door and I wish it wasn't so,
I choose to be alone and I wish it wasn't so.'
It's hard to be falling and I'm falling
in love with you.
But I cannot bare to share the burden
it is mine to carry through.
There's a storm up above me and I'm howling
I hear the dying
There is love all around me and I'm trying
to see it through

meadow rue

met a tall meadow rue by the woods
she had cute little leaves, looked like paws by the stream
she said ‘how do you do?’
I ain’t doing good..
I am flawed, I am lost, I am sorry so it goes,
I am always going wrong.
I am on a burning bridge & I’ve got so much love to give
with no place to get it going.
I ain’t got no words for to make your worries gone
but I know what I know
I know the woods will heal you if you take a little stroll
go now, waatch it grow
I was going down the path and I spied a feathered green
she was as white as dawn is. Yarrow, yarrow, you who know a little thing about love, won’t you help me along?
Sweet Tansy, butter in the field, won’t you tell me what I’d like to know.
Will my heart grow bitter if left alone, or can true love carry on?
I ain’t got no words for to make your worries gone
but I know what I know
I know the woods will heal you if you take a little stroll
go now, take it slow
I met a hemlock tree in July deep, he was dark and solemn
If I try for you, would you try for me? Lord knows we said we would.
But I am lost, I am lost to the one I’m owed. And I feel him in the breeze when I walk alone, in the hills of the Gatineau
I ain’t got no words for to make your worries gone
but I know what I know
I know the woods will heal you if you take a little stroll
go now, take it slow
