And Tomorrow

Tomorrow
And tomorrow
And tomorrow
Never was

Moving down the street
In the sheath of the physical

Show me how time
Crumbles how it
Slithers
Barrels
Corrals

It’s an alchemical task
An alchemical task
Alchemical task
It’s an alchemical task

Once-returner

To the birds
I am the water giver

To you my love
I am forever

To my mind
The forgiver

To my heart
A hopeless diver and

To my soul
A once-returner

I am the smoke bringer
The ether from another world
The backyard finch
Picks up my signal
Hopping across leaves
I hear her coming
To tell me so
To tell me so
To tell me so
To tell me so

I am the water giver
I am forever
The forgiver
A hopeless diver and
A once-returner

I am the smoke bringer
The ether from another world
The backyard finch
Picks up my signal
I hear her coming
Hopping across leaves
To tell me so
To tell me so
To tell me so
To tell me so

I Know You Know

We are all stardust
Mixed up until who knows
Then it must be
You’ve got a little part
Of my soul

I know you know
I know you know
I know you know
I know you know
Ah…
I know you know
Ah…

Infinite

Moving my
Piece around
The board game
Monopolies

Moving my
Piece around
The board game
Monopolies

I know you know
I know you know
Ah…
I know you know

We could have
Created
Anything
And I can’t
Believe this
Is what we did

I know you know

We could have
Created
Anything
And I can’t
Believe this
Is what we did

I know you know
I know you know
Ah…
I know you know
Ah…

I Am the One

I wish you could have been there with me
I wish I could have shown you
I wish I could carry you through
All that I have known

‘Cause I am the one
Who will take you along

Who will take you along

What will we do and forget

‘Cause I am the one
Who will take you along

Buttons

Mending your buttons
In the quiet afternoon
Feels like eternity
Has come loose

The stray little threads
Rubbed against
The grain of the days, ‘til
Threadbare

Buttons go loose
But not fallen, not lost
As I sew them back up
Into place

An artificial grace
Of thinking, all is back
In its place

As the days go marching
A tug at the string of things
Just offstage

Behind the scenes
The threads go baring
As I put my hand to your chest

Remembering
All the little things
That keep you in my love
