audient_lang Love this album because it features the creative mind of the late Gordon Ranney. A wunderkind musician, creative, astute observer of the human condition, and all-around hysterically funny dude. Rest in peas, my friend. Favorite track: dreams in the morning sun.

you’re golden/ where are you going? and you know it/ cold winds are blowing it’s overflowing/ time getting weary it always calling to you lover/ you won’t escape it you’ll find no cover/ no way to shake it don’t you wonder?/ feel the weight of another tumbledown day? dreams in the morning sun, every one soon have their way, and run all the summer/ it was the morning every flower/ was a warning don’t you cower/ come wake it slow, slow it’s a long, long way ‘round you’re open/ parting the clouds above always hoping/ look for your long lost love don’t you notice?/ you’re getting weary too in your mind’s eye view now dreams in the morning sun, they roll on dreams for a day, then they’re gone it’s not too late, not too long

joy 03:37
Walls of clouds tipping tumble into what we wish and who we will Sheets of rain wrap us, clothe us as we wake and we are new I want nothing more than to be here with you I want nothing less than what is Breaking through Coming through Slipping through Whiteout of snow blurs us, covers all of our yesterdays Shimmering sea of silver, we shape-shift and drift away I want nothing more than to be here with you I want nothing less than what is Breaking through Coming through Slipping through … with you

let me ride, ride on your halo spin me 'round, never let me go let me float, weightless on your holy ground light me with your moonbeam guide me to your secret sun lift me up, up into your golden tower save me from another humdrum hour I can’t wait, wait for what may never come lead me to your altar show me all your sacred fire let me be the only acolyte you desire night is cold, shadows slither on the wall it’s a slow eclipse and long, long fall when I’m with you it’s a different song light me with your moonbeam guide me to your secret sun let me be your only be your only one spin me on your halo fly me on your angel’s wings forget about tomorrow don’t know what it brings

scatter 03:23
Taking - taking interest Waking - waking dream Seeming - ageless instance Far so far - to go ------- Minor - to no one ------- Taking - taking water Shaking - from the cold What is - and what isn't ------- Timeless - decided Wonder - if you hear me ------- Broken - broken image Spoken - in a hush Knowing - if they knew it They knew more than most ------- Scatter - scatter

One perfect day with you Before you left me here alone I'll never know where you have gone Now all I see - is what you were to me ------- When you were just a girl You didn't see that it could end There always seemed to come another day And then it falls apart, it only breaks your heart It's nothing you can ever mend ------- Now spring has come again I see you digging in the earth The things you planted have taken root in me The sky a pale blue, a soft and milky hue The scented breeze has set me free ------- If you came back to me I'd know exactly what to do Get in a car and drive you home again We'd spend the day, just like we used to do I'd tell you that it never ends ------- I'd stay with you, tell you everything Please tell me it will never end

starburn 04:40
I -- don't know what you want me for take my hand and taking more than I ever had to give And you -- pushing back in all directions hide away and try to disappear Sunlight burns around you Everything you wanted came to you so easily You can't understand it The child of privilege, climbing on a ledge Because you had the luxury ------------- You fell and rose just like a star glowing faintly from afar But you burned me just the same And I couldn't tell you how it hurt me couldn't tell you anything at all ------------- You -- liked to slide the needles in Gently just below the skin Where the acid could release And I tried to swallow all the poison Fearing I would never drink again Leaving -- no traces In the end you left me, did what I could never do I can't -- hold it against you I did the best I could, you did just what you should You don't owe a thing to me

hidden star 03:30
I pull at you, reach within for the hidden star so surprised, don’t you know you wear it? glittering in your soul, so bright you are look at you, like a hermit inside a cell biding time, waiting for something what you want, it's not so hard to tell telescope, stretch you out to the very edge of your near, of your far, and longing walk you right, right up to that ledge
9.
here is the world - reach deep within it stop and see - see everything turn you head - you won't remember slips away again now are you here here are you now don't walk away stay with me now in the night - no one is sleeping walk alone - under the sky blue grey and thick - (pause) holding it closer find it here again take all you need lead me astray feel her caress save me this way
