Going Down

Long, long time ago
You walked in and you said hello
Your green eyes blazing your hair aglow
I felt so small, I felt so low.
I’m going down to a place
Where I can bury all my shame
I’m gonna undo all the shit
I did that caused you pain
I’m going down to a place
Where we can dance the night away
I’m going down, I’m going down
I’m going down.
Well I say you’ve got a lotta nerve
To sit there telling me
What you think you deserve
You can’t undo, you can’t unset the sun
You can’t unbreak this heart
What’s done is done is done.
I’m going down on my knees for sins yet to confess
And I’ll dance all night to the rhythm beating in my chest
Then one more look in your eyes, and in the darkness, I’ll undress
I’m going down, I’m going down, I’m going down,
I’m going down.
Halle-hallelujah, my friend
Could we be at the end, my friend?
Halle-hallelujah, my friend
Will we be dying soon, my friend?
And now here we are today
A world of color gone cold and gray
The booming downbeat won’t set us free
But that don’t matter to you or to me.
I’m going down to a place
Where I can escape the blame
To leave behind the hurt and just feel right again
I’m going down to a place
Where we can dance the night away.
I’m going down, I’m going down.
I’m going down, I’m going down.
I’m going down, I’m going down.

Love is Nowhere
03:21

Love is
Love is here and I am there
Love is
In a light that we don’t share
Love is
In a moment come and gone
Love is
Neither right, nor is it wrong.
Love is where you are
You know that I will wait for you.
Love is
A story never to unfold
Love is
A warm embrace that leaves me cold
Love is
A place for us that has no time
Love is
A longing for what isn’t mine.
Love is where I am
I know that you won’t come for me.
You are
You are here and I am there
You will
You will find me nowhere near
We are
Beside each other far apart
We are
Inside each other. Distant hearts.
Love is where we are
But like love we exist nowhere.
Love is where I am
But you are here and I am there.
Love is where we are
But like love we exist nowhere.

Open Me Slowly
05:22
|

|
I’m so cool
I could shatter in
A thousand shards of ice
Guarded by design.
Do I hold you back
Or let you in and win
I wanna let you in
Open me. Begin.
Open me slowly
I am fragile, need to take my time
Frozen still
The ice is melting as I find my rhyme.
Open me slowly
I go deeper
And I take my chances
Stand to lose my mind.
Falling in
You catch me
Spin me, toss me
I am charmed, enchanted
Open me. Ignite.
Open me slowly
I am fragile, need to take my time
Frozen still
The ice is melting as I find my rhyme.
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
You touch your fingertips to my chest
in the moment when the sun ascends
Like a flower my ribs open wide
Blood and bones and a gaping hole inside
You place my beating heart in its cage
Watch and wait to settle and engage.
I come to life. My flesh mends.
And blood and bone.
Take it slow. What’s the rush?
Make it our own.
Take it slow. What’s the rush?
Make it our own.
Go with me blindly
To the fire
Where the flame consumes
An unfulfilled desire.
Do you hold me back or let me in and win
You shouldn’t let me in
Open me, the end.
Open me slowly
I am fragile, need to take my time
Frozen still
The ice is melting as I find my rhyme.
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
You touch your fingertips to my chest
in the moment when the sun ascends
Like a flower my ribs open wide
Blood and bone and a gaping hole inside
You place my beating heart in its cage
Watch and wait to settle and engage.
I come to life. My flesh mends.
And blood and bone.
Take it slow. What’s the rush?
Make it our own.
Take it slow. What’s the rush?
Make it our own.

The Next Song
05:00
|

|
Rain bleak, worn out dockside lives
Under freeways where beauty dies
Boots on pavement, guitar in hand
Three chords and a dream, the only plan.
Seattle is a shameful place
To fall out of love and out of grace
There’s no Cobain in the cold and rain
Just noise and junk and habitual pain.
Falling down Fremont in a cloud of black and gray
Dusting all the debutants and vagabonds away
Passing the bars where the stars burned bright
Past another time hidden in plain sight.
Seattle is a spire
To the crucified and the suicide songs
No more Cobain, just radio silence on and on.
And on and on and on.
So, I sing this song for you
In my black and in my blue
In my rain and in my fame
I will sing this song for you.
And I’ll sing the next one, too
Yeah, I’ll sing the next song for you.
Seattle is a spiral
For the crucified and their suicide songs
No more Cobain, just radio silence on and on
And on and on and on.
So, I sing this song for you
It may be old it may be new
It may be red it may be white
It may be in the dead of night.
Oh well, whatever nevermind
I‘ll just sing this song of mine
With words that lie or may be true
In this song I sing for you.
And I’ll sing the next one, too
Yeah, I’ll sing the next song for you.
For you…
For you…
For you…
For you…

Close your eyes and find me in the night
Together there we’re given second sight
We fall into each other’s tears and breath
We lay together one more time in death.
Open up your eyes and see me there
Your touch me, kiss me, hold me love affair
Pain and shame forgotten in this place
Pain and blame hushed by our love and grace.
Open up your eyes and find me gone
The time has come for me for movin’ on
No more words between us ever said
No more laughter, love or life ahead.
Understand it’s time for me to go
Understand there’s not much more to know
Understand there’s always love for you
Understand, yes understand it’s true.
Understand no matter that I’ve gone
Understand, you’ve got to carry on
Understand I’ll miss you when you leave
Understand, I understand you’ll grieve.
I close my eyes and find you in the night
You come to me an angel from the light
We fall into each other man and wife
And lay together one more time in life.
Open up your eyes and see me there
Your touch me, kiss me, hold me love affair
Pain and shame forgotten in this place
Pain and blame hushed by our love and grace.
In Memory of Robert Blanche
