Down the way where the nights are gay
I took a trip on a sailing ship
Well I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down...

Since you lay my burdens
Since you lay my burdens
Since you lay my burdens down
All the troubles I been
Dragging down this trail
Seep into the thirsty...

Oh the dirty wordless fingers come again
Where the mermaid singers
Oh when I need them
Oh how I need them
Pretty words doled up on silver platters

Been traveling all too long this bear-cat trail
But the love in me's grown stronger
Than this steel rail that I ride
Back to your bedroom eyes

I may not break  even but babe
I'll never break
Golden coins and smiles no they cannot tip my scales

Galaxies
When we dance

Furnaces burn everlasting

Black tattoos of you onto ...

Flat stone skipping the surface sink
Into the golden deep
Crawl inside like a honeybee
Creep into the heart

Give me snow and give me salt
Troubles cr...

Cool water
Cool water
Cool water

Cool water

Cool water

I want to fly like a scroll unfolding
Float to a stone ledge
Words to a hedge
And ...

Oh, I can see your tracks
But I won't follow them
Some kind of crazy wind
To erase them, chase them
Into oblivion
Oh, I can smell the smoke
From your ...

White Cherry -Laura Veirs
Abundant Life
That's this life
Lush life
That's this life
Did you see the cherry tree
Take to bloom and waters freeze

I'm not the freckled maid
I'm not the fair-haired girl
why are the wholesome things
The ones we make obscene
Latin words across my heart
Symbols of in...

Galaxies -Laura Veirs
When you sing when you sing
The stars fill up my eyes
Galaxies pour down my cheeks
Galaxies
Galaxies
When we dance when we dance...
