Come home real soon so I can kiss you / You’re making me wait so that I’ll miss you / But I need you now / Yes I need you now / Yes I do And I don’t know how / I could ever do / Without you Where have you been when you been ramblin / The kettle’s on the fire and it’s singin / Singing I need you now / Yes I need you now / Yes I do / And I don’t know how / I could ever do / Without you There was a town where we were living / And all of the trees were jealous women / But they don’t matter now / I need you now / Yes I do And I don’t know how / I could ever do / Without you I hardly know how I found you / Something real good, it’s all around you / But I need you now / Yes I need you now / Yes I do / And I don’t know how / I could ever do / Without you Yeah I need you now / I need you now / Yes I do And I don’t know how /Oh I don’t know how I could ever do / Without you Yeah I need you now / I need you now / Yes I do And I don’t know how / I could ever do / Without you

I remember / Trees were black and the sky was red I remember / Way up on the mountain where the bears are fed I hid under / Mountain laurel where the snow was white I remember / Every color of the autumn night Build me a boat in the earth Bury my body cause it hurts All the oak / All the orphans coming home Watch the tree-line for a lantern / Keep your eyes peeled though Wolves are coming / Wolves are moving through the ice and snow Quiet sister / Quiet lover / No one here can know Build me a boat in the earth Bury my body cause it hurts Build me a boat in the earth Bury my body cause it hurts

7 of Cups 04:04
Fantasy / Another hidden gem Catastrophe / Written all over your skin And what do I see / A girl in the air Fantasy / There's nothin there What in the hell / A witch or a muse What of your wrists / Goddam you look confused And how does it feel / To be a cheater now Fantasy / I can see you asking how Fantasy / There’s nothing you can do Fantasy / My god she’s still in love with you Catastrophe / There’s nothing you can do Witch or muse / Goddam I’m confused Vapid heart / How does it feel right now It is dark and no one is coming now / I see you there with a rosary I know your path / Always leads back to me Fantasy / I know you are in love Catastrophe / I know you are in love There’s nothing more / There’s nothing more to say Goddam I see you're still in love with me Goddam I see you're still in love with me Fantasy / You hide it very well Loving me / I knew that it was bad Some wide road / You travel in your mind No one else / Can travel with you now Nothing more / Oh nothing more

I was my own self One run-in Mess I made Was it quiet in the house When you went away I could smell you on the stairs With a lighter in your hand And you turned away from me Yeah you turned Into sand And the snakes came around And they moved in place And I never ever again Looked upon your face Will the moon Remember What happened that night In my silver longing I took to the sky
6.
There’s not enough / There’s so much more It didn’t work / What worked before Before I took / Before I fell I fit a fit down in the well There’s not enough / A flower crown I called the moon / I craved your mouth The open way / The meadow wide The well of wells was mine to ride I ran the path / The darkling trail The fairy queen / And quick of nail Who answers yes in blackest night A winking roaring fairy rite A thousand years down in the well A thousand years I fell and fell I think that I am falling still Do you hear me in the well Her eyes I know they look like mine Her mouth is sweetgrass berry brine Still I am calling all the time Come fish me from the well Still I am calling all the time Come fish me from the well

Hecate 03:40
You’re not all that you said / Once I believed what you did Keep me / Oh keep me you said I made you up in my head Black sky / Black sky / Hecate Come down / Come down and write for me You’re not / You’re not what I want You’re not / You’re not what I said My eyes are open / But I’m not here Your love has carried me this far Please don’t / Please don’t go now Please don’t / Please don’t go now One morning / One morning you’ll come here One morning / One morning soon One morning / One morning soon

When the jealousy goes / And you see it for what it is It’s just love, love, love, love, love, love When the jealousy goes / And you see it for what it is It’s just love, love, love, love, love, love Candle way down the road / And the brilliant stars that shone Stop projects and filaments / Nothing else exists When the jealousy goes / And you see it for what it is It’s just love, love, love, love, love, love When the jealousy goes / And you see it for what it is It’s just love, love, love, love, love, love Though sometimes it all goes / And sometimes no is no It’s just love, love, love, love, love, love When the jealousy goes / And you see it for what it is It’s just love, love, love, love, love, love It’s just love, love, love, love, love, love My love is a mountain / My love is a stream My love is green, green, green, green When the jealousy goes / And you see it for what it is It’s just love, love, love, love, love, love Candle way down the road / And the brilliant stars that shone Stop projects and filaments / Nothing else exists

Katy Cruel 04:16
When I first came to town / Called me the roving jewel Now they've changed their tune / Call me Katy Cruel Oh diddle lully day / Oh de little lioday Oh diddle lully day / Oh de little lioday When I first came to town / Brought me drinks a-plenty Now they've changed their tune / Bring me the bottles empty Through the woods I am going / Through the bogs and mire Straightway down the road / Till I get to my heart’s desire Oh diddle lully day / Oh de little lioday Oh diddle lully day / Oh de little lioday Eyes as bright as coal / Lips as bright as cherry And 'tis her delight / To make the young girls merry Oh diddle lully day / Oh de little lioday Oh diddle lully day / Oh de little lioday When I first came to town / Called me the roving jewel Now they've changed their tune / Call me Katy Cruel If was where I would be / Then I’d be where I am not Here I am where I must me / And where I would Oh I cannot Oh diddle lully day / Oh de little lioday Oh diddle lully day / Oh de little lioday

Muse Again 02:52
Gutless watching / You can feel your chest is softening / There’s a build up to make an aching heart / Keep me hurting, standing / Dirt is all I could find in an open war / I made out with all the treasure / But there was movement / And I couldn’t see you anymore / There was movement / But I couldn’t see you anymore / Take off, holding / I can see you frowning in the doorway where he stands / He stands naked in the doorway / Leaning on the door frame / Your head keeps shaking / But what are you saying? / And If I stayed would this keep breaking? / And I keep moving while your anger is proving / A little more than I can handle every day / And I show you now / And I show you now / Here I am / Your muse again

Timelessness 02:43
What is marriage / A smooth palm stone Swimming out in the ocean / Coming home Time traveler / I call you back to me Call you home / And I marry your soul Timelessness / Weightless in this repeating Take me home / And I’ll take you home What is love / Smoke in the grove Something given / Something broke Time traveler / I call you back to me Call you home / And I marry your soul Timelessness / Weightless in this repeating Take me home / And I’ll take you home Yeah I’ll take you home
12.
Right on/ Keep your sight on / There are messages / From the trees Right on / Keep your light on / There are spaces / Between your teeth Hide on / Keep your light on / There is darkness / In the wings Threaten / It’s a button / You are waiting / To press You look pretty in your dress/ You look pretty in your dress Hold on / I got this notion / That the ending / Is almost here Kiss me if you want to / Cause if you’re waiting / I’m already here You look pretty in your dress / You look pretty my dear/ You look pretty my dear
