The River Rises 03:16
lyrics

The River Rises He takes two steps ahead Snaps a branch off the river pine Mud caking on his neck He turns half way to find my eyes I know better than to want this The treasures and the charms I know better than to haunt this I can hear the alarms And the sages say let your deepest love go unknown In the closeness of you these words get overthrown The old pages say let your deepest love go unspoken But ohhhhhh, here I go The river rises to my chest a cold, crackling Do we wait for love to eat out of our hands or exhaust ourselves with the tackling? I know better than to want this The treasures and the charms I know better than to haunt this I can hear the alarms And the sages say let your deepest love go unknown In the closeness of you these words get overthrown The old pages say let your deepest love go unspoken But ohhhhhh, here I go He takes two steps ahead Snaps a branch off the river pine

Into the Woods : Ten Cent Poetry When we first kissed I saw sting rays jumping, sting rays jumping Blue gray figures, figures rustling, figures rustling in the salt of the sea The ocean buckled and water made tears, water made tears Forming warm pools in the shells, in the shells, of my ears Let's get out this dead space Let's get out this head race Let's get out this dead place And into, and into the woods When we first took off each other's . . . each other's A rose red phoenix circled above The galaxy bowed and the sun was swallowed Let's get out this dead space Let's get out this head race Let's get out this dead place And into, and into the woods When you first entered (held me), entered me gently, you entered me gently I felt the kindness of all of your family Let's get out this dead space Let's get out this head race Let's get out this dead place And into, and into the woods Making love, making love in the woods. . . .

Throw a Little Glitter in My Eyes 02:45

Throw a little glitter in my eyes Throw a little glitter in my eyes I want your sparkle to smear out my sight Throw a little glitter in my eyes Chorus Baby I've missed a lot of beats I've been the lonely freak Waving my arms off in the parking lot heat But you, you, you treat me so sweet Now, blow warm kisses up my skirt Blow warm kisses up my skirt It's free, it's fun I like it when we flirt Blow warm kisses up my skirt Then come on and join me in the shower Come on and join me in the shower Oops I dropped the soap, we're gonna be in here for hours Using the hot water in the shower (Chorus) Sit me down and sing your sappy songs Sit me down and sing your sappy songs Confess from your chest everything I've known along Sit me down and sing your sappy songs

The Spice Market ~ Ten Cent Poetry I get it You put down my fruits My market has failed to seduce you Silk on spools, saffron coils, Copper buttons, gold leaf foil If you're not buying, then why are you here? With your fingers in my spices With my songs in your ears If you're just prying, then why come near? With all I have to offer, what do you have to fear? Black eyed peas, cone shaped piles Milagros tucked in wooden files If you're not buying, then why are you here? With your fingers in my spices With my songs in your ears If you're just prying, then why come near? With all I have to offer, what do you have to fear? At my booth, an anxious line Patrons reaching for my wine Silver scales, chinking dimes All will be gone Brandy bread, rosemary butter Artichoke crowns, crimson covers If you're not buying, then why are you here With your fingers in my spices With my songs in your ears If you're just prying, then why come near? With all I have to offer, what do you have to fear?
