Everything goes into the night
Everything’s born then hollowed
Fill up, spilled out, fallen then cracked
Dust off, picked up, gathered
You told me it’s all about letting go….
Learning to let go…..
I did not know then
How tall i stood
How tall i stood was cause of
Your hand in mine
I could see forever from up there
Time, time, time…. She eats everything
You said ‘please leave me something
Time said, none of it’s worth remembering (without)
Love love love
She Saves everything
Paints it the brightest
Makes it worth the trembling
Worth the ache
Worth even mentioning
I drove all through the night
Down the thumb of the mitten
An Eye of a storm fit through the eye of a needle
Surprised we fit at all
At all
If everything's going, everything leaving
Lessons in learning how to
How to let go with grace
please grace, help
Let go, let go with grace
I know now, that
How tall i stood
How tall i stood was your hand
In mine, I could see forever from up there
see forever from up there
You said how
Forgiveness is the safest passage through
Through my head through my heart
I will address
these ghost inside of you
body is the armor holding
Along for the ride
Send them all home
On the drive home
All the hitchhikers shadows
Little town pass by
Pushed me back
To lake michigan
Pushed me back
To you

The Book Of Love
03:41

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures
And instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings

To William Street, the cover read "Love From Gillian"
Go out into the world and write down all your secrets there
Put it down like a heart like a locket
We regret to inform she’s no longer there.
Brooklyn very nearly broke them
Thunderbay then onto Waterloo
These people and places are lovely
But none of them felt quite like you
There is a weight
There is a way back home - but it’s crowded
You can chase every star in the sky
But you cannot hold them
Calling all the angels home,
Winnipeg held us in a snowstorm
Ferry ride, rain, Vancouver sent
Mirimachi rhymed itself with Calgary
What we said was not what we meant
There is a weight
There is a way back home - but it’s crowded
You can chase every star in the sky
But you cannot hold them
Calling all the angels home
Brooklyn very nearly broke them
Thunderbay then onto Waterloo
These people and places are just fine things
But none of them are quite like you
To William Street, the cover read; "Love from Gillian"
Go out into the world and write all your secrets there
Put it down like a heart like a locket
We regret to inform she’s no longer there
There is a weight
There is a way back home - But it’s crowded
You can chase every star in the sky
But you cannot hold them
Calling all the angels home

I Can't Make You Love Me
04:30

Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices
Inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me closely
Don't patronize
Don't patronize me
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Somethin' that it won't
And here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I will feel the power but you won't
No you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me
When you don't
When you don't
Yeah-hh
I'll close my eyes
'Cause then I won't see
The love you don't feel
When you're home with me
Morning will come
And I'll do what's right
Just give me till then
To give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Somethin' that it won't
And here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart
I will feel the power but you won't
No you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me
When you don't
When you don't

I Saw Your Soul

Love, I saw your soul tonight
By the dock, Bluish Light
Propaned cabined fireflies
I saw your soul
Past is past
Facts are just swimmers
Held up in mouths by
The Winners and losers
I know what I know
That was no glimmer
I saw your soul.
Hungry ghost,
Doubt, he whispered
Why let your heart get all entwisted?
May feel nice nice, but is there something better?
How can you know…..
Who burned ...brighter for whom
Has nothing to do ….with who….
Burned their brightest...Feet the lightest
Was it me or was it you?
Love’s hurricane
Opened all the doors
Turned Bricks to glass
Cielings into floors
No matter how many
times before
Always a lovely mess
Should’ve known
when he said pls dance
To the song about the second chances
Her eyes had tears,
said its too sad I can’t
I want to though
Burn …. bright that way for you
I can’t seem to -I just can’t….
Burn …. Brightest
Feel the lightest
No matter how much I want to….
They shuttered the chest
Took the jobs
Packed the car
Shut down the shop
Hoping to shake the bad spirits off, I hope they did
Down the border way
Love made them
gather all the gold
Ada’s bracelet, mother’s old (rings)
Rings, bills tie clips, Melted so
They could be made brand new
Doubt could not touch, much less not see
What Love had wrote Was a mystery
She was all locks
He was all keys
If the truth be told
Before she left, Love taught this one song
Last call Four chord bang along
verses soft, chorus was strong
Shouted it out.
Who burned ...brighter for whom
Has nothing to do ….with who….
Burned their brightest...Feet the lightest
Was it me or was it you?

Trapeze Swinger

Please, remember me
Happily
By the rosebush laughing
With bruises on my chin
The time when
We counted every black car passing
Your house beneath the hill
And up until
Someone caught us in the kitchen
With maps, a mountain range,
A piggy bank
A vision too removed to mention
But
Please, remember me
Fondly
I heard from someone you're still pretty
And then
They went on to say
That the pearly gates
Had some eloquent graffiti
Like 'We'll meet again'
And 'Fuck the man'
And 'Tell my mother not to worry'
And angels with their gray
Handshakes
Were always done in such a hurry
And
Please, remember me
At Halloween
Making fools of all the neighbors
Our faces painted white
By midnight
We'd forgotten one another
And when the morning came
I was ashamed
Only now it seems so silly
That season left the world
And then returned
And now you're lit up by the city
So
Please, remember me
Mistakenly
In the window of the tallest tower call
Then pass us by
But much too high
To see the empty road at happy hour
Leave and resonate
Just like the gates
Around the holy kingdom
With words like 'Lost and Found' and 'Don't Look Down'
And 'Someone Save Temptation'
And
Please, remember me
As in the dream
We had as rug-burned babies
Among the fallen trees
And fast asleep
Aside the lions and the ladies
That called you what you like
And even might
Give a gift for your behavior
A fleeting chance to see
A trapeze
Swing as high as any savior
But
Please, remember me
My misery
And how it lost me all I wanted
Those dogs that love the rain
And chasing trains
The colored birds above there running
In circles round the well
And where it spells
On the wall behind St. Peter's
So bright with cinder gray
And spray paint
'Who the hell can see forever?'
And
Please, remember me
Seldomly
In the car behind the carnival
My hand between your knees
You turn from me
And said 'The trapeze act was wonderful
But never meant to last'
The clown that passed
Saw me just come up with anger
When it filled with circus dogs
The parking lot
Had an element of danger
So
Please, remember me
Finally
And all my uphill clawing
My dear
But if I make
The pearly gates
Do my best to make a drawing
Of G-d and Lucifer
A boy and girl
An angel kissing on a sinner
A monkey and a man
A marching band
All around the frightened trapeze swingers
