Step out onto the sandbar See the waves all around us See these things shine, blue and green, in these nighttime waters of this Atlantic Ocean Come see the sea around us Fill your bathing cap with saltwater Tip it over your hair Hold my hand and run out into the waves Pretend like nobody’s there On the beach see the sand, you say to me, it’s purple with manganese, black with iron See these lines here, see these lines here, year after year and year after year Come see the sea around us Hold your mouth wide open and Eat up the land all about you See the swallows in their nests in the cliffs and Spiders riding the dune grasses And I’m gonna float on my back out here for the rest of the whole damn day, and I’m gonna tip my head back here and swallow this whole landscape Come see the sea around us

Kiss me once by the harbor, kiss me twice by the docks Where the dories all are floating, where the seagulls crowd the rocks Kiss me once by your pickup truck, twice by your pickup truck I hope you pick me up tonight Kiss me once by the moon and kiss me twice by the railing of the Porch of my house, come on in and don’t be shy Kiss me once by the threshold, kiss me twice by the kitchen stove I know you wanna love me tonight I’ve had my eyes on you for such a long time now I hope you’ve had your eyes on me too I’ve had my mind on you, can’t think of nothing much else now I hope I’ve been on your mind too So kiss me once on the cheek and kiss me twice on the lips Where the corners of my mouth are waiting for your fingertips Once on the fingers, twice on the hands Lead me out on the floor of this living room bandstand Kiss me once in the hallway, kiss me twice by the stairs You know where I wanna go, so take me there I’ve had my eyes on you for such a long time now I hope you’ve had your eyes on me too I’ve had my mind on you, can’t think of nothing much else now I hope I’ve been on your mind too I’ve had my eyes on you I’ve had my eyes on you I’ve had my mind on you I’ve had my mind on you

Four and twenty blackbirds up in the sky Four and twenty blackbirds coming in from the afterlife They land on my balcony, I feed them a handful of rice Four and twenty blackbirds darken with flight Four and twenty blackbirds up in the sky Four and twenty blackbirds rise in a funnel so high They leave from my balcony, they leave me alone Four and twenty blackbirds, flying back home And when I go back there there’s no one around Your daughters have scattered from your old stomping grounds You left me the backwaters, you left me an empty town Four and twenty blackbirds rise up from the ground Four and twenty blackbirds up in the sky Four and twenty blackbirds, no pattern to my eye They leave from my balcony, ascended in flight They leave me like you before, alone in the light

By The Shore 03:58
By the shore of a rolling sea I left the last of my memory behind For the gulls to pick over, let ‘em have there fill I put a sign up for all to see, here lies the last of my memory For some long distance rower, headed west with the sun By the last of the border towns, I found a stretch of unbroken ground and I I am going to break it, if it takes all year In the mouth of the desert dry I see no reason to wonder why I’ve come To the dust and the drylands where no river runs In the light of the early dawn I see the road I’ve been walking on and I I am weary of walking, I am weary and far from my home But I’m on my way back home, though there’s miles and miles to go Though there’s miles before I’ll know Where I am and what the years have yet to show On I’m on my way back home, though there’s miles and miles to go Though there’s miles before I’ll know Where I am and what the years have yet to show There are miles and miles that I have yet to go

Hey Girl 03:56
If you should see me when I’m walking down the street If you should see me with my back straight as can be With my chin up and my teeth… flashing you a smile If you should see me Say hey girl, whatcha hopin’ for today Say hey girl, whatcha singin’ on your way To the bus stop, to the train, in the sunshine, in the rain And what’s your name, hey girl, what’s your name If you should see me when I’m coming home from school If you should see me bundled up in winter wool If I’m looking straight at you, well then honey as a rule, I hope you say If you should see me Say hey girl, whatcha lookin’ for today Say hey girl, whatcha thinkin’ on your way To the bus stop, to the train, in the sunshine, in the rain And what’s your name, hey girl, what’s your name And Lord knows I’ve been hollered at before And Lord knows, that’s not what I’m lookin’ for But hey girl, I’ve been waitin’ for you for so long And so there’s nothing wrong If you should see me when you’re weary from the years If you should see me when you’ve had it up to here You want someone you can share both the sweetness and the tears Well I hope you say, If you should see me Say hey girl, how you doin’ for today Say hey girl, can I walk you on your way To the bus stop, to the train, in the sunshine in the rain And what’s your name, hey girl, what’s your name

There are days I could lay my head on the shoulder of my neighbor On the number one bus to Harvard There are days, there are days I’m so goddamned tired I could fall into the arms of the nearest pretty stranger there are days There are days There are days and days when my feet are running late Through my tears I heard your voice You have years and years and more will be revealed In this year, oh in the year I have seen the face of the morning in its grace, in the fullness of its grace In this year, oh in this year I have found the faith resting in the shining center of my spirit of my solar plexus here For I have years, I have years I have years and years and more will be revealed, and more will be revealed On this day that the Lord has made I am lifted up by the brass band and the choir By the morning and its fire burning clear For I have years I have years and years and more will be revealed I have years, I have years I have years and years and more will be revealed, and more will be revealed

I remember one night in November The moon rose, cold, like a warning Time grabbed me up by the collar Dragged me down the street by my ear And I don’t know what you were thinking I don’t know what I was I don’t know how I made it through, but I made it through To the morning Pipers walk the line of the harbor Seasons mark the time of my tears Wave rises up into water Marches up the beach without fear And I don’t know what you were thinking I don’t know what I was I don’t know how I made it through, but I made it through To the morning And I don’t know what you were thinking I don’t know what I was I don’t know how I made it through, but I made it through To the morning

Got up today just like I did yesterday Took the bus into the city Crossed the bridge same way as yesterday Same way as yesterday Got up today just like I did yesterday Took the bus into the city Crossed the bridge same way as yesterday Same way as yesterday And I don’t know how to get the energy I don’t know how to go on and on and on I don’t know how to be brave enough to live Instead of [merely existing] I see the road looking long and empty See my days running on on repeat All the time that’ll be left to fill All the time that’ll be left to pay And I don’t know how to get the energy I don’t know how to go on and on and on I don’t know how to be brave enough to live Instead of merely existing And I’ve been reading Too much about dying this week And God knows what’s been on my mind when I sleep Got up today just like I did yesterday Took the bus into the city Crossed the bridge same way as yesterday Same way as yesterday Got up today, just like I did yesterday Got up today, just like I did yesterday Got up today, just like I did yesterday Just like I did yesterday

Let the fields turn mellow in the sun Let the days come one by one Like pearls through our hands we are dreaming of the work to be done Let our hands be tender from From love, let love be at the end Let the night come softly like a friend We are dreaming of a dawn, pink and gold with a view of the mountaintop so This is the valley we must tend Take my hand while we weep For there is much that we must grieve But I know joy comes in the morning Let there be a new flowering I know joy comes in the morning Let the fields turn mellow in the sun Let the war be over once And for all we are dreaming of a peace that will reach and will come Let our hearts be tender from From love.... Let love be at the end...

Sail Away 05:18
Sail away to the other shore Take your heart into your hands and hold it before you I remember that summer day When you took me down to the Harwich Bay I remember we sailed into the wind We sailed into the sound, we went out to the Cape Sail away to the other shore Take your heart into your hands and hold it before you Sail away to the other shore Take your heart into your hands and hold it before you I remember when I was a child And you took me down to the riverside That October, we walked over the water To watch the white sailboats racing into the harbor Sail away to the other shore Take your heart into your hands and hold it before you Sail away to the other shore Take your heart into your hands and hold it before you Oh the heart wants what the heart wants And this heart wants to be free Oh the heart wants what the heart wants And this heart wants to be Sail away to the other shore Take your heart into your hands and hold it before you

Lullaby 03:08
Come lay your head upon my shoulder And let me hold you in my arms For you are safe now from the cold here No worry the world now, oh no worry the world Come lay your head upon my shoulder And let me sing you fast to sleep For all my love is here to hold you No worry the world now, oh no worry the world Oh my love, my darling baby Precious gift from every God And though its roads lead out forever No worry the world now, oh no worry the world And when you wake from all your dreaming And when you see the rising sun Know that my voice will still be singing No worry the world now, oh no worry the world No worry the world, now…
