- All Mixed Up
She shadows me in the mirror
She never leaves on the light
And some things that i say to her
They just don't seem to bite
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
- Another Song for a Blue Guitar
She comes apart at the seams 'cause she never dreams
And she lays up awake cause her feelings ache
And the one thing she found as she gazed at the sea
Was that she lost her faith, her faith in me
In the early morning I can't make up a thing
And I can barely play, I don't like to sing
So I picked up my brush painted blue guitar
- Cruiser
My biggest smile from Tokyo
You came out here five years ago
Her life song is a sad one
Her mom fell off when she was young
Her mom died off when she was young
Purple nights and yellow days
Neon signs and silver lakes
- Down Colorful Hill
Out of the box
Down colorful hill
Wind lifting tired feet
Skin sensing challenge ahead
Prayers prayers prayers
For success
Prayers prayers prayers
- Down Through
I walked down the hill, sluggishly and frail
The wind blew hard, hard on me
I imagined it your ghost white body
Making love with me
I walked down the hill
Found you crying at the window sill
There lies the bridge of our lost dreams
- Japanese to English
I went as far as losing sleep
I went as far as messing up my life
Unloving still strike me different
A million miles away from home
And fifteen from a payphone
Where we sat lonely on the sand
- Medicine Bottle
Giving in to love
And sharing my time
Letting someone into my misery
I told it all step by step
How I landed on the island
And how I swim across the sea
And it crosses my mind
That I may wait to a sign from you
- New Jersey
You're an American girl
Red headed, eyes blank
Living in a freckle on the face of the world
Another dying kid that learned too much too soon
You're not as good as your Mom, but you're as good as dead
You're as good as dead, New Jersey ain't the whole world
- Revelation Big Sur
I can't make anything
Of why the brightest light fades
Or how you slept a sleepless slumber
And through the rhythm of the timeless season
And you are the dark on my soul
And it's your love that i steal
And you're my cuts that won't close
And this i'm certain
- River
I know you're willing and able
There by the wooden table
Won't you come on over to my side?
And you know I'll treat you right
There at the water
There is the water you drink
Won't you come on over to my side?
- Song
some escape some door to open
this path seems the blackest but i
guess it's the soonest
but there in the clearing i
know you'll be wearing
your young aching smile and
waving your hand
can't go with my heart when i
- Song For a Blue Guitar
when everything we felt failed
and some music soft in distant sails
but it don't sound like it did before
then i know i'm left with nothing more
than my own soul
when pretty pictues face back
but your coats aren't hanging on the rack
and blue water turns to
- Summer Dress
summer dress makes you more beautiful than the rest
lovliest girl that i know, and the sweetest
spends her life inside, she thinks she isn't blessed
summer dress separates you from the rest
easiest days of her life have been spent
wonders if she is loved, if she is missed
- Void
Find another corner of the house
When you need to get away
Her guitar leans against the couch
Sometimes I pick it up and play
Loosen and stretch it's ancient strings
Until it sounds the way I feel
Brush my thumb against it soft
Give it life or give it pause
- Waterkill
It isn't great tryin' to breathe
From the bottom of the fate lake
I feel the vibes as feet of Christ go by
Large and small and fast they fall
Under meltin' summer sky
Prayin' for my dear breath
Don't want to face my fear of death
- Wop-A-Din-Din
She's got big green eyes
And a long Egyptian face
She moves across the floor
At her own pace
When I'm here in bed
She'll jump up on my chest
And when we lock eyes there's so much love
I wanna cry
