Moonlight Jenny
It’s late at night and I hear you calling
But I can’t make out your words
I think you’re calling for your mama
And that’s something I will always understand
E Kanaloa, Can you hear me Jenny?
You are wide eyed, mystified, headed for another ride
I think I know you — from my dreams somewhere
Listen with your heart to the ocean rolling
Moonlight on your face
Have you been left or are you just waiting?
In a cold brick house with a blanket on the floor
E Kanaloa, Can you hear me Jenny?
You are wide eyed, mystified, headed for another ride
I think I know you — from my dreams somewhere
Your spirit is wild and it moves like madness
But I can’t make out your words
Messages lost as your wildness rises
And that’s something I will always understand

Train to Bangkok
I pressed my cheek against a pane of glass
Earth is moving, speeding quickly past
Sun is slipping off the clouded sky
Grasses blending, smooth and soft they sigh
My breath exhaled is white upon the window pain
Clouding rooftops heavy from the rain
Drooping farmlands wreathed in sugar cane
Blue light drifting, sweeps across the ground
Dusk is falling heavy all around
I’m on a train to Bangkok
Don’t leave me behind
The sun is slipping
Don’t leave me behind
My breath exhaled is white upon the window pain
Clouding rooftops heavy from the rain
Drooping farmlands wreathed in sugar cane

Tree Tops Down
Lie with me in forests free
The sky above, the ground we love
Oh lie with me
From tree tops down to autumn leaves, imagine these
Are better days — waves to wash away
Bathe in blue-white blossom tea and sip the soil with me
From tree tops down we’ll swim around like falling autumn leaves
In pine and fresh turned soil we lay, imagine better days
Are waves to wash away, away fine lines and painful times
Drink from petals, swim in moss
And lie with me in forests free
The world we love

Prairie Storm
When I touch your land-cracked hands
I remember the place I was born
When I see that look in your eyes
I remember the prairie storm
When I feel my lips on your neck
I remember the reason I was born
When I touch your arching back
I remember the reason I was born
When I remember my heart
I give it to you in the shape it was formed
Your eyes are like a prairie storm
Oh your eyes are like a prairie storm
I will not forget you. Love, I’ll never wreck you
The look in your eyes says no disguise will hide this prairie storm
Up in the sky the raven flies by, the reason I was born
I will not forget you. Love, I’ll never wreck you
Your land-cracked hands pouring into the land, the reason I was born
The look in your eyes says no disguise will hide this prairie storm
I will not forget you. I will not forget you. I will not forget you
When I touch your land-cracked hands
I remember the place I was born
When I see that look in your eyes
I remember the prairie storm

We Are Water
What if we were the water the trees are drinking up
Would they find us sweet? Would they take another sip from our cup?
From our cup, from my hands, our desire for the land
We are water, we are water
Stone, bark, and sky—we live life, dream, and then we die
But what if we are the storms, quenching dry land as soon as we are born
We are sky, wet like stone, we are storms of corazon
We are water, we are water
I will grow up to be big and tall you will see
Strength in me like a tree drinking from clearer streams
Oh so deep we’ll grow to be you and me living free
In the water
And what if we are the blood in a body young and strong
Will we stand up straight? Do the right thing again and again?
In our hearts and our minds, through the passage of time
We are blood, we are blood
Like the wings of a bird, fly our powerful words
We are blood, we are blood

Whisper in the Wind
I hold you in my sleep
The sounds you make oh they can break
Even the sweetest heart
You saw me as I was
Spoke to me with watery eyes
You saw me as I would be
A whisper in the wind
Oh a whisper in the wind
Take a breath and fall in
—I hold my breath
And fall in
When dreams are not enough
I close my eyes until I find
The heart that’s holding all of us
You saw me as I was
Spoke to me with watery eyes
You saw me as I would be
A whisper in the wind
Oh a whisper in the wind
So take a breath, take a breath
—I hold my breath
And fall in

Ocean and the Sky : My Hand in Yours
Make me ocean and make him the sky
We need more time to lie side by side
This life is not enough
My hand in his our breath like wind
A love like moving water now
The Ocean and the Sky

Michigan by Milk Carton Kids
The clouds move over Pontiac skies
Their silent thunder matches mine
I know this feeling from long ago
I wondered was it gone, but now I know
So when she calls, don't send her my way
When it hurts, you'll know it's the right thing
Michigan's in the rear-view now
Keep your hands where I could see 'em
You took the words right outta my mouth
When you knew that I would need 'em
What am I supposed to do now, without you
It's unannounced like you'd expect it
I'm on broke down brake lines and Motown records
And all that's left is a blind reflection
But you know what's coming and you regret it
So when she calls, don't send her my way
When it hurts most it's the right thing
Michigan's in the rear-view now
Keep your hands where I could see 'em
You took the words right outta my mouth
When you knew that I would need 'em
What am I supposed to do now, without you
Michigan's in the rear-view now
Keep your hands where I could see 'em
You took the words right outta my mouth
When you knew that I would need 'em
What am I supposed to do now, without you

Butterfly
I will learn, I will love
I will open my arms
to you
She planted a seed like a butterfly
It grew in my heart and it taught me why
I am alive, and you’re alive, and we’re alive
The lessons I’ve learned mean more with time
They speak in the dark and they grow in the night
And they tell me why I am alive
I will learn, I will love
I will open my arms
to you
