Your body has such a pretty architecture
It was built for a woman no less
And just one brush of your fingertips
Could leave me longing for the whole caress
If you're not looking for romance
Then please don't ask me to dance
One man's heaven is another one's hell
But if a kiss could really kill
Then I could promise you I never would tell

Art Of Falling

I've changed a lot of things
Since you left me in the fall
I really can't remember all you said in September
But October won't get out of my head
I really can't recall all you said at the ball
But I remember what you said in my bed
And when you look back, I hope you don't just get mad
I can see a giant beauty in the small things that we had
And I swear my aim was true even when i was unkind
See, I was lonely thinking of you since the spring had first arrived
I've changed a lot of things
Since you left me in the fall
I smoke more cigarettes and drink a lot more alcohol
I really can't remember all the songs I wrote in September
But October gave me one inside the rain
If every single song I wrote was solely about you
Then at least I'd know you'd listen when I sang
I've changed a lot of things
Since you left me in the fall
I smoke more cigarettes and drink a lot more alcohol

When the trees are bare
And it's far too cold to sing
Remember the winter brings the spring
When the days get shorter
And the darkness never leaves
Remember the winter brings the spring
The animals are crawling in their holes again
Some shed their skin
Like the trees shed their leaves
But then one day, the sun will come
Shining in the darkest den
And your skin will feel more thin
Cause the spring brings new things
And even a planet needs to sleep
So bring to life your winter dreams...
When the day falls hard
And the fighting makes you weak
Remember the winter brings the spring
(in the winter of your discontent)
IT ALL GETS BETTER FROM HERE, MY DEAR!

Mayflowers

There's not enough hours in the day
To count all the flowers in May
We've got daffodils in anthills
And we've got quiet violets looking for cheap thrills
And we've got lovely lilies falling for everyone
And we've got voluptuous tulips kissing a ray of sun
When age old stories, they get retold
You don't hear about daisies, you don't hear about marigolds
A certain kind of beauty you just can't put in prose
But you can say, 'what's in a name?" but a rose is a rose
All the royal snapdragons are gaurding the door of the barn
The kids are milking honeysuckles that grow on the fence in the yard
The sweet fragrance of callalilies refreshing when the work is all done
A little family of carnations can light up a room like the sun
The sun shines down on the sunflowers
I guess all I'm trying to say
I just want a romp in the hay

My Love

I told you the only way I knew, my love
I only needed some time away, my love
Oh, but I promise she didn't mean a thing, my love
And I never kissed her the way I kiss you, my love
I often get my way
I never need a change
I wish you could admit that the way that I show my love
Isn't what you're used to, my love

To Lose You
03:54

Maybe I should fall in love only with the ocean
Maybe I should lose my mind and find it in the blue sky
Maybe I should learn to walk on the dark side of the shadows
Maybe I should fall asleep and let my heart break
(Oh no) Maybe I need to lose you
(Oh no) Maybe it's right to lose you
(Oh no) Maybe I need to lose you
Oh No
But I don't know how to lose you
Feel the waves of the sea in my heartbeat
Feel the light of the moon in my heartbeat
Oh, and the shadows that lie beneath my heartbeat
zzzzzzzz.........

Sandy, my sugar, sweet the salt on my lips
Horizons bent over to blow me a kiss in the wind
The wind is my vessel to return the favor to them
Foamy fluorescent make a full heart eclipse

I've been pretending to care about things, but I don't even care
I've been writing these songs about women that aren't even there
For me
I've been thinking about all of the things that I didn't do
But mainly about all of these women that slipped right on through
But I don't care
I ain't no business man
I've got a business without a plan
I ain't got no doctor's degree
But I'm a doctor for the common man
I ain't no business man
I ain't got no doctor's degree
But I can do some business with you
If you wanna play doctor with me
But I don't care

Shine In The Sand

Shine like the best of them
Not like the rest of them
You wanna be the diamond in the rough?
A cut above the rest is not enough
What about this flashing in the pan?
Sharpen yourself, and get out of the sand
Shine in the sand

The mind is like an orchestra
Before the maestro waves his wand
A dischordant cacophony
An abstract unlike any song
Can we play this all together?
Can we unify the signal
And slip into our consciousness
And sing our swan song without fear?
I am not a rock. I am a river.
Ever flowing. Ever changing.
Can we brighten up the darkness?
Can we soften up the harshness
And open up our inner senses
And sing our swan song loud and clear?
CAN WE MAGNIFY THE BEAUTY???

So this is your petition against my sole foundation?
It seems your tradition is at war with my innovation
Fine sir, I will respect your opinion, but with all due respect
I will pay no attention to your rules. They're not for me.
They exist only for the bored and uninspired beorgeoisie.
You speak of this fashion like a frivolous pretension
And there's one thing I can tell you: its never been my intention
To adapt my art to fit your needs. See?
I'd rather die a pauper full of sickness and disease
Tradition! What have you ever done for me?!

As I appear before you now
I represent all you've been endowed
I'm here to tell you this is F O W L
Cause that is not a holy cow
I'm here to tell you that you know the truth!
So don't be disillusioned, man
The answer lies in your bloody hands
So make a difference while you can
Spread it far throughout the land
I'm here to tell you that you know the truth!
A common people have common sense
We're more than remnants of our youth
You know we've grown much older and bolder
Don't you think it's time we face the truth
I'm here to tell you that you know the truth!
