MOON CHILD

moon child, moon child, come back to bed / the night is for dreamers so lay down your head / she knocks at my window her light kisses my face / the night is for dreamers so I am awake / moon child I beg you you're floating away / i'll hold you awhile and I'll help you to stay / she pulls me to tree tops beneath the stars I sway / i'll bring one home to you my anchor my stay / moon child beware of what lurks round the bend / the night is for shadows so lend me your hand / her light leads me gently beyond the crooked way / i'll pass through the shadows, as night leads to day / moon child the night is for dreamers like us / so I'll be the tether to your wanderlust / the night lifts and bends me to places I must go / yet if I am falling,I'll be falling home / and my anchor i'll love ya to that old moon and back
 
MARRIAGE
 
warm your skin on mine my honey-do / summer's gone and I'm still lovin' you / seems we close our eyes and wake up old / stay with me my shelter from the cold / run your fingers through my gold and grey / love be kind remember me this way / steady hands to fill my empty cup / it's enough love it's enough / did we almost lose each other in the arms of one another / i'd be blind to be forgettin' you / help me see behind those baby blues / I still got my spark and you your charm / so take these years into your lovin' arms / did we almost lose each other in the arms of one another / just look me in the eyes and come home / oh come home / winter's comin' and we'll hunker down / feed a fire here that won't burn out / find some patience and some kindness, too / melt the ice that grew in me and you
 
DUST
 
just another early morn / the sun came up without you / the world keeps spinnin' like my head is spinnin' / it's all the same and that's more than I can bear / the birds they greet the day with songs of old / songs they hold for those bowed low / they fly free just like a sign for you and me / that this gravity will give way some day some day / from dust we come and lord to dust we will return / the peace the pain of every season's change / seems like yesterday your hand was warming mine and now you've slipped through my fingers / dust / it's not that I'm afraid for you / you'll be light and I'll be blue / 'cause I can't recognize a world without your smile / it's not the same / it'll take a little time / from dust we come and lord to dust we will return / the peace the pain of every season's change / seems like yesterday your hand was warming mine and now you've slipped through my fingers / time walks on and so will I / the sun went down without you / but you lie deep beneath the flower beds in my head / still your love nurtures me oh / from dust we come and lord to dust we will return / the peace the pain of every season's change / seems like yesterday your hand was warming mine and now you've slipped through my fingers / seems like yesterday I opened up my hands and set you free / dust
 
TEA AND WHISKEY
 
i'm a fool, I'm a fool / makin' castles in the air with you / oh what a state I'm in / ‘cause I'm a child I'm a child / reflecting for a little while in your laughin' eyes / I am old and I am new / so take me back and lead me on to my dreams of you / we'll make a bed on the moon / grow a garden / and set a table for two / we'll come and go as we please / there's no demandin' / just you and me, tea and whiskey / well I run oh how I run / far away so far from the dreamer that I was / how I find oh how I find just a little bit of her when you look at me and smile / I am old and I am new / so take me back and lead me on to my dreams of you / we'll make a bed on the moon / grow a garden / and set a table for two / we'll come and go as we please / there's no demandin' / just you and me, tea and whiskey / if we could shed this skin / come on and shed this skin / we'll find ourselves again / we're findin' home / I'm just a wiser girl and you're a little boy makin' due with all that weighs on you / so come with me wild and free and we'll go singin' and dancin’ beneath the fadin' stars / we'll make a bed on the moon / grow a garden / and set a table for two / we'll come and go as we please / there's no demandin' / just you and me, tea and whiskey
 
I’LL LET GO
 
i've been hangin' on for so long / and never hoping for a thing / you say that I am bound for good and a little faith'll give me wings / well am I flyin' am I fallin' / here at the edge of everything / am I the tired fool for tryin' / here at the edge of me / take me now to the end of my rope / beyond what I think I know / lay me down in the autumn leaves / hold me / and I'll let go / woah woah / I'll let go / spent too many miles trippin' / on who I was and I could be / am I surrendered am I driftin' / is that old fight a' leavin' me / what do you do with an undoin' of what you thought you had to be / well I'll cut my hair and go out singin' beneath the old oak trees / take me now to the end of the road / beyond what I think I know / lay me down in the autumn leaves / hold me / and I'll let go / woah woah I'll let go / woah woah I’ll let go / woah woah I’ll let go
