In the morning of a Black Cherry Sunrise The moment, a rather awkward illusion It comes, and then it goes And to where, I’ll never know That illustrious Black Cherry Sunrise I’ve never asked the gods for perfection I keep hope and faith well enough on my own But sometimes they give me a glance at direction That’s worth more to me than diamonds and gold How oft have I woke To the bright, warm orange sunlight Faint trace of a kiss still lingering on my brow And with the blue skies greeting Red robin’s New Year song I find you are no ghost, But alive and with me all along. In the eve of a Black Cherry Sunrise, The snow, giving way to the rain now Spring trees, how they sway Through these blustery days I wonder what trouble be blowing my way The tide's getting tight ‘round the bar And many an hour's been wasted today When the telephone rings ‘It’s your savior!’ It sings Then fast as my heart beats, Out the door I slip away To open roads I go For ahead, not behind me Lies a fortune beyond all reason and compare And with every brilliant moment I spend cradled in your arms I find it worth more than time Lost and listless in the bars At the peak of a Black Cherry Sunrise The rain, now the sun and a rainbow The light off the lake Gives a welcoming break When you look back before the world Gave a chance for you to wake. In the morning Of a Black Cherry Sunrise In the morning of a Black Cherry Sunrise

Shallows 04:12
Blind birds ate the bees In the Sycamore trees And for thirty long years Flew over black pregnant seas As the waves wash over The wrinkles in my brain There’s no sick little reason In my mind left to remain In my youth I was midquest To fill an emptiness inside The Yang to fit into my Yin But instead I broke my pride. As quickly as they came, they went And a part of me was lost Extinguishing hope with every flame My insides, permafrost And I Could not stop the growing divide As much as I feared the world I had no place to run, nowhere to hide. So many faces, my heart races From the shadows of my past Life torn asunder, makes you wonder Where's a happiness that lasts? I’ll never fret nor regret How I’ve come through my darkest days I'm rescued by a brilliant light The eons in your gaze My mind, the blossoming burden yet blissfully blank, And all can see. The wildly symphonic, strangely hypnotic Affect you have on me. You’ve shaken my soul, an untold feat No one else could comprehend In the fathoms lie the final prize My heart within your hand And I Have realized I want so much more You have shown me my world As though I've never seen it before. As the months fly by, to the untrained eye It would seem like it’s been years Time's spent now, as will only allow With smiles and happy tears It’s floating there, in the heavy air; Weighing on the gale And once released upon the seas You’re the zephyr in my sail. In my time of need you’re at my heed; Your arms, my steady shield. Your mind, a vault of fearless wit, Making words a sword to wield. Though scattered by the light of day Our nights are filled with bliss. The shallows send us with the tide That turns with every kiss. You have given me the chance To seek out the life I want to live To show the rest of my world I have a want to love, so much to give. Yet even with the stars above I cannot tell you what lies ahead But the face inside the mirror, That once looked back at me in fear, Is now the one that laughs instead.

The Reach 03:01
Do you love? The reach between you and me… Do you love? It’s not always plain to see. Guess it depends on where we’re standing, And how close you really wanna seem to be. Like a seashell, I press my ear gently to your chest. There’s and ocean inside you with a tide that never rests. In the distance, the waves against the sand wash your face away It’s a lonely art, but I will paint you on the dunes every day, And it will help to keep the fog at bay. Do you love? The reach between you and me… Do you love? It’s not always plain to see. But when your heart starts beating faster You should know that you’re the only one For me. In the moonlight I call out your name It’s the same song That I sing for you every day Though you may never hear the words I say. Do you love? The reach between you and me… Do you love? It’s not always plain to see. But when your heart starts beating faster, And your eyes are opened wide. You will know just what I’m after And I’ll have no place to hide. So tell me all your secret thoughts, Your dreams, your hopes, your lies. Bare your soul and I’ll show you How beautiful it is Inside. How beautiful it is inside… Do you love? Do you love? Do you, do you…?

The Road 03:24
Been down this road before With empty streets and cars galore Night or day, sunset or dawn There I'd be, rollin' along Been on this street a million times But it don't feel right when the sun won't shine Swore when I left it was early day Seems the light had other plans to while away Takes a while to get your bearings when you're going someplace new And the road most traveled ain't always the funnest drive to do We find sometimes that old roads leave us asleep behind the wheel We might wind up in Not-familiar places wondering What is real? Is this really real? Been to the shop a lot in life Always went home with emotions less rife But the shops not here it's down the street In a tiny white house, neat and bleak Been past the market since I was small And bowled every weekend with my pa But the strip is gone, dead trees fill the space Seems like nature's taken back this place Takes a while to get your bearings when you're going someplace new And the road most traveled ain't always the funnest drive to do We find sometimes that old roads leave us asleep behind the wheel We might wind up in Not-familiar places wondering What is real? Is this really real? Been down this way or thought I had But the light is sickly and air is bad As the shadows creep closer it's easy to see This road just ain't what it used to be.

The cold, the calm A gleam within a sheath As your heart repeats a rhythm slower Blood pumping full The sheath in my chest is My own, my palm Embracing worn out ridges Had anyone warned me of your power To which I cower Suddenly, sight clear, for I I find I lie within your timeline fear raging inside You, running down the back of my spine As I die here forgotten, by no one but you My sight is true My sight is true There deep, there dark Coursing fluid movement Enthralled by all the passionate Yearning, to me you are turning Beacons, your eyes, how They burn, they sear Words breaking defenses A casual glance with the weight of a fist Walls sundered to bits Yet I remain transfixed for I.... I find I lie within your timeline Fear raging inside You, rolling down the back of my spine As I die here forgotten, by no one but you My sight is true. My sight is true. My sight is true.
