Follow You
When the night falls and I
Lay my head to rest
And the sky turns so weak
And falls into the night
I have done all I can to follow you
Cause from your heart
A light shines on me
When the roars of our times
Lean against my door
And all I see is tears
From a different sky above
I have done all I can to follow you
Cause from your heart
A light shines on me

My Love

My Love
I’ve never forgotten
Your ways in the night
And how you touched me
With your gentle goodbye
Oh, darling, lead me through
And when I hold you
I feel so alive
Your darkness thrills me
And your light gets me by
Oh, darling, lead me through
Can you see me
My love
Can you trust me
My love
And when you left me
I wanted to die
I love you, baby
Your light gets me by
Oh, darling, lead me through

New Bird
The road is my home
And my heart is the answer
Deciding my twists and turns
Ahead
I left my old town
I left my old country
I’m leaving to go back home
Again
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Lay your thoughts upon my day
Lay your hand upon my beating heart
I’ll see you through the night
I’ll see you through the morning light
I feel where you are
I feel where you’re going
I walk underneath your stars
At night
And I feel winters touch
I feel spring approaching
I hear all the smallest birds come back
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Lay your thoughts upon my day
Lay your hand upon my beating heart
I’ll see you through the night
I’ll see you through the morning light

Different Love

Different Love
Don’t drink
Don’t finish that drink,
The hours fall so heavy, I know
But I beg you, please don’t
And don’t smoke
Don’t finish that smoke
The night feels so endless, I know
But I beg you, please don’t
Use the darkness in your heart
You’ll have a different kind of love
And when you lean into your dark
Look to the wind and the snow
And don’t think
Don’t think you’re alone
You’ve had that fear for so long
But I beg you, please don’t
And don’t cry
Please, finish those tears
You’ve been crying for years
But I beg you, please don’t
Use the darkness in your heart
You’ll have a different kind of love
And when you lean into your dark
Look to the wind and the snow
I promise I’ll stay
Look to the wind and the snow

In This Hour
Send kisses through the rain
Your sweet touch around the corner
Send your smiles through the door
Your laughter up the stairs
in this hour of our lives
Darling, I’m broke
Only music fills my pockets
But I know you have my back
And I will care for you
Babe, you know it’s true
And when you hold my hand
You fill my heart with gladness
I am in heaven
To feel you by my side
I want to close my eyes
And feel your arms around me
In this hour
These minutes of our lives
Send kisses through the rain
Your sweet touch around the corner
Send your smiles through the door
Your laughter up the stairs
In this hour of our lives
Darling, I’m here
I was drifting for a while there
But I know you have my back
And I will care for you
Babe you know it’s true
And when you hold my hand
You fill my heart with gladness
I am in heaven
To feel you by my side
I want to close my eyes
And feel your arms around me
In this hour
These minutes of our lives

Dear David
Dear David,
How can you be gone now?
Dear David
We had just begun
Time moves fast – an ocean fell between us
But through the water we can still call out our hearts
All your love expanding
Rings round your loved ones everywhere
You touched us
We will not forget you
Dear David
We had just begun
And as the storms arise to run across the mountains
We will also lift our heads up to the sky
And see you safely go, our friend, up to the stars where you belong
And we fall into our tears at night
This mystery’s just too big
And we cling to everyone we love
Until it’s time for us to go
But we miss you
God, how we’ll be missing you
Dear David
We had just begun

Stranger Canyons
Consider what the years have done
Laughter still, but sorrow’s found
Follows us where tears can run
Over and over
Through
Stranger canyons
Picture where the night has flown
Broken hearts with joy unknown
Pieces fall where hurt yet aches
Lover to lover
Through
Stranger canyons
Remember how our hopes flew high
Tenderly, in pale green eyes
Shadows now proclaim the pain
Sorrow for sorrow
Through
Stranger canyons

Winter Turns to Spring

Winter Turns to Spring
I miss the old days
And everything you taught me
‘Bout the moon and the wind
And the withering of snow
I try to live
By the love you gave me
And the patience you taught me
And the grace of your name
I love the squirrels
And I love the ocean
The light through the treetops
And the gathering of rain
I miss your voice
To the sound of the ocean
I miss the sunlight
As winter turns to spring
Do you remember
When we were children
My older sister
And my older brother too
Just one more day
Just one more evening
I’m still your daughter
Lead me on your way
I’ll never leave you
Cause you never left me
Across these borders
Through heart and time
I’m still here
Cause you never left me
I know I’ll see you
As winter turns to spring

Night Falls

Night Falls
Night falls, and by the window
My lover rests his head
Night falls, and by the river
My lover’s thoughts unfold
And everywhere we walked tonight
The rooms where we can whisper
Oh, lover
Don’t forget me now
They say, we have beginnings
For our stories yet to come
That we are the shapers
And makers of it all
And when we filled
Our hearts with grief
We only needed laughter
Oh, lover
Don’t forget me now
We’ve had so many questions
And failures in our time
And now when we’re together
And he’s drifting away
I wonder how our river moves
And if he really loves me
Oh, lover
Don’t forget me now

Bonnie
When Bonnie “Prince” Billy
Walked behind doors
I was just a child
And when he was lonely
And followed the birds
I would follow too
I see the sun rising
Far behind land
And I am rising too
When Bonnie “Prince” Billy
Calls for the birds
I am calling too

If You Were Dead and I Was a Dog
I would go for a swim with your bones
Carry home your knees
Carry home your thighs
Carry home your skull and your hands
And I would go for a swim with your things
Carry home your shoes
Carry home your jacket
Carry home your hat and guitar
Sing me a love song
Kind of good night-song
So I can sleep and feel the beating of your heart
In the dark
When the wind has alarmed
The wavy bodies
Of the sea
And I would sleep so still by your side
Building up my home
From your things and bones
If you were dead and I was a dog
