DUST (D.Linhart)

The only drink for the land
When crooked and cracked by drought
Is the warm wine of the wounded
When open flesh bleeds out
Today's survivors
Will give tomorrow's blood
Tonite they sleep with no space
All crowded like mass graves
Dreaming of which is the cruelest
To be thirsty or slain
Tonite's mass graves
Will give tomorrow's dust

INSPIRED SO (J.Siegel)

Tight she pulls the bow
High I flow the arrow
Setting off my soul
Pure inspiration
Lending you my heart & soul
Lending you my mind
Inspired so
Lending you my heart & soul
Over seas & through all time
Inspired so
Seeing as our lives connect
Sending all my thoughts direct
Nothing to hide
Know my tears to fears to pride
How I hold you close inside
Nothing to hide

THICK & WARM (D.Linhart)

I've patience & long-suffering
This world provokes me fib after fib
This world it pokes me between my ribs
Nonetheless I am smiling
Aliving & present
Nonetheless I've a mission
To which I'm committed
'Cause I got mine
Thought I left it all behind when I was born
Thought I had to say goodbye when I took form
But a stillness caress & I'm in accord
Never left where I came from
Thick & warm

FUNERAL (D.Linhart)

Don't wear a suit to my funeral
Don't wear a black veil & gown
Please wear a t-shirt & colors
Turn up the music real loud
'Cause I am the water I contaminate
Distillation cleans me when I evaporate
Don't box me up & preserve me
Don't let my body be found
Don't think my body contains me
I am recharging right now
There is so much more to distance
There is so much more to time
There is no need for resistance
Everyone gets out of line sometime

DESIRE (D.Linhart)

Unsureness is not easy
When sureness makes us feel safe
But feel the release of resignation
Say I don't know the way
Can you say I dont know the way?
Suddenly overcome
Uncertainty is a challenge
When certainty seems secure
But feel the release of desire
Ask what's behind that door
Can you ask what's behind that door?
Suddenly overcome

HIDEAWAY (D.Linhart)

Have you seen the nakedness
Where leaves used to be?
Now they're gone
They all fall
Have you heard the silences
Where birds used to call to the sun?
They flew away
Did you feel the brittleness
Where feet once were bare?
All the fields are frozen
Did you taste the bitterness
Where bees used to hive?
Now they've dived below the ground
'Tis the season to be very wary of the wind
Turn the other cheek into it or else hideaway

ACHE (D.Linhart)

Rich folk making money
To use to make more money
Then they got more money
To use to make more money
You can only spend so much
Whole countries can't buy what you can buy
You could save lives but you save money
To use to make more money
Poor folk ache & sweat
To pull up out of debt
Place for a head to rest
Time since the last health check
One more loan with interest
You can only sweat so much
Many break they back don't get paid back
Some sit back & say they make money
To use to make more money
Reparations!

CLEARING (J.Siegel)

Broken wreck- Broken wreck-
Broken record deep inside
Scratched the vinyl when I tried
I try that my soul rise
My mind ties it down
Close an eye- Close an eye-
Open the third deep inside
But I'm distracted & I'm blind
Let my breath be the breeze
Clearing thoughts like falling leaves

AUTUMN IN JUNE (J.Siegel)

snow followed by heatwave
stranger days may come through
the autumn leaves have yet to fall in june
the seasons have become confused
earth tilting upside down
strangers say that i smile
none believe when i say that i frown
the seasons have become confused

CLOSE (D.Linhart)

How easily life slips away
How readily brightness does fade
Until darkness is all that is left
We will have yes we will have
Our happiness
I risk all of me and it is no risk
To be fully known every weakness
Yet carried close with confidence
Until darkness is all that is left
We will have yes we will have
Our happiness

SWEETSCENT (Lyrics J.Rosario; Music D.Linhart)

Sweetheart please listen
I thought this through and through
I think I got it right
You give me a new way to look at life
Thinking of you becomes natural
Sweetheart please listen
I write with emotion
No worries what may come
I walk endless paths
To reach the light that shines at the end
The light was in your eyes in October
Sweetscent of your flower
The only in my garden
The only seed I planted
You blossomed in a dream
It comes true over and over
I wake in the night wising to see you
Sweetheart please listen
A saint was born unto your mother
The angels are sisters and brothers
We climb mountains for a better view
Of us written in the stars
We sing songs with the moon
