Riddle 05:19
I tried to spin a tale, but I ended with a riddle like, "I gave my love a cherry", but he choked upon the middle Or: God gave you a life and a knife, and said it's your job to whittle so you carved off all the rotten spots and now you're left with far too little Another apple, that cannot fall from the tree So now I watch the light fade, from blues to slipping greys That is all I did today, yes, that is all we do these days but I've been sold this notion, that one crack in the sidewalk still does open, to an ocean of poplar leaves and apple seeds and we can float so gingerly down down down But if that water fails to spread, this questions done, a fool I'm dead Somewhere in the fish and reeds, a fool I smile, my teeth are seeds But if that water makes a path, a fool I frown and facing wrath of one more day and if I might one more nervous nervous night

He walked, he walked, he walked through this crowd, like he'd danced with all the strangers and he talked, he talked, he talked like he'd sung us all to sleep from different stages Like we'd eaten out of his hand and we'd cried out of his mouth So we danced, we danced, we danced like he danced, like a forest on fire Our fingers licking the sky, then reaching higher So I won't save a sadder song for him, not for him This is not a feeding frenzy but you'd smell blood in calmer water's throes You're so good at seeding envy but that don't need no room to grow It's spring again, it's spring again we can sweat away all them memories and regrets

Ghosts 06:09
I've got an anchor in my suitcase today, and an anchor's all I need, to stay Look out that horizon, it calls to me, it calls to me and this question of where we end, it falls to me Sometimes we choose what lives inside us and what does die Sometimes we choose when we smile and when we cry Those are good days, this I know, and this I mean Now I lay awake, I hope my thoughts don't pierce your dreams There are ghosts between us as we lay I heard them say that there are ghosts between us as we lay
