nothing else will do



gray 
tired and quiet 
and mean
picking at a worried seam
. . .

oh, such a prima donna
sorry for myself 

but green, it is also summer
and I won't be warm
until I'm lying in your arms





I've gotta have you

summertime truths


I went to the market
though it was threatening rain
the streets filled with umbrellas
and we all look the same

but I'm the one who's waiting
'til the sun comes out again


I was made for sunny days
I make do with gray
. . .
but I was made for sunny days
and I was made for you

I was made for sunny days

trapped in a dream






Faced with the dodos' conundrum
I felt like I could just fly
But nothing happened every time I tried

You’ll be damned to pining through the window
You’ll change your life for any ordinary Joe
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold

close your eyes and take a plunge




You can ask about it
but nobody knows that way
no bread-crumb trail 
to follow through your days

...
you gotta be brave








all this beauty

the sands are slipping...


One day
you'll look 
to see I've gone

for tomorrow may rain
so I'll follow the sun

some day 
you'll know
I was the one

but tomorrow may rain
so I'll follow the sun



I'll follow the sun
