The sun cannot see its shadow
C F C
The shadow cannot see the sun
Retroreflective-eyed,
It takes a light to make a mirror shine
am C
Let your toes sink in soil,
em F C em
They will tangle with roots
F am F
Never let the love grow old
am F C
Or let the love of it go
I can get a little shocked at first
Some things get prettier with time
Story-like, I'd wished I would
Find the love of my life
In the tall meadow grasses,
A coywolf low then darting
Never let the love grow old
Or let the love of it go
Crickets in the eclipse
Chirping in cherry orchards
Staghorn sumac seeds sunning
Stunningly stained scarlet
Your heart is beating, beating
It is a timpani
Never let the love grow old
Or let the love of it go
Never let the love grow old
Never let the love grow old
Never let the love grow old

Notes from the Sea

D G
You’re on your old trusty boat
em
You call Mighty Sparrow
D
I’m in the city of Mardi Gras
The sunset paints first for you
You send me notes from the sea
It makes me glad to know you’re living well
Em A
Oh babes great sunrise today
F
A small bird joined me on my way
C D
When I see fishing boats I wonder what that life is like
So sweet to hear from you
Wholly beholding the view
In sun and grass, I’m living a shepherd's dream
It’s not so cold but I’m beating in
To the wind, I’m at it’s whim
I’m getting tossed relentlessly
Hold on sailor or my tears would fill a sea
See the moon transform
So will the storm
The moon’s my best friend out here
Today is light and crisp and clear
I got some sleep and did some sorting
Mother nature
Hold him sweetly
Rock him deeply

D7 f#m
Dear friend I thought of you and deja vu
A
You were right in front of me
E7 f#m b7
How auspicious, how sweet, again we meet
These years, it’s not the passing of time
But the rooting of a tree
See grand oak arms unroll
Like a scroll
f#m D E7
Moving through the mysteries
You are valued vividly
You can always meet me
In the shade of the date tree
C7 A7
Dear soul you are already whole
There is nothing you must do
To fill a brimming bowl,
Ohhohoh
Be here now, in the lotus bloom
One petal at a time
Spiraling to unfold
Story goes
Moving through the mysteries
You are valued vividly
You can always meet me
In the shade of the date tree
Amethyst, you glisten luminously
From, call it: Surya, Helios, Ra, Sol or Sun
We are one
I’m in a labyrinth when a meteor sears the sky
Foliage so high
Can’t see forward, can’t see back
Still space so vast
Moving through the mysteries
You are valued vividly
You can always meet me
In the shade of the date tree
C7 G7
Be well you dove

I’m in love

Moon honey love
C em dm am G G7
Darlin’ I’m a breeze dancing through wildflowers
I’m in love
Honeysuckle love
Fluttering like an iridescent long-feathered bird

I drank divine nectar
am C7
It is the spring of love
am dm
It’s become very clear dear
am G G7
You’re my soul’s dove

It’s become very clear dear
You’re my soul’s dove
I’m in love
Honeysuckle Love
Fluttering like an iridescent long-feathered bird
Your lips are orchid petals
Your eyes are filled with sea
When we touch stardust
Is coursing through me
Don’t tell me this feeling is just a tease
Come heartbreak, come sorrow, there I’ll be
But for now
I’m in love
Dreamy jazz club love
Take me with your sails to warm tropical islands
I’m in love
Moon honey love
Darlin’ I’m a breeze dancing through wildflowers
I’m in love
Honeysuckle love
Fluttering like an iridescent long-feathered bird

G
There’s a certain sailor
Am
Who is often on my mind
C G
Eyes with oceans behind
He begs no promise from me
Though a promise I do keep
My heart holds space for his sweet being
am C
Far from me is he
G C
I’m wistful in the wind
Am C
Oh when will it bring
G C am G
Us close again
There’s a certain sailor
Who blew into my life
I breathed in the breeze so fine
Oh sweet summer romance
Played a tune on golden strings
We were dancing on Saturn’s rings
Far from me is he
I’m wistful in the wind
Oh when will it bring
Us close again
There’s a certain sailor
I wish to kiss goodnight
Though peaceful as I drift, I pine
He says he misses me more
Than the stars in the sky
The starlight glows bright tonight
F am
Spirals in the stars
gm F
You reflect my heart
F E7
Won’t you guide us
Bb E7 C G
Not to be apart
Far from me is he
I’m wistful in the wind
Oh when will it bring
Us close again
Spirals in the stars
You reflect my heart
Won’t you guide us
Not to be apart
There’s a certain sailor
Who’s often on my mind
Eyes with oceans behind

Swooping Bird

C D A
Hearing a pretty coo,
f#m D
You look through the meadow
A E
At a swooping bird
It seems as though the river shape-shifted
Around the dam,
It's vital, the rolling
A C E
At times, you're wiser for it
C D A E
Though that's not the case all the time
A C F
At times you adore it
C D A E
Though occasionally you hang your head too
f#m D A E
Ooh ooh oh the swooping bird
Ooh ooh oh the swooping bird
I've been mulling and breathing
I was practicing my script
I've been growing my hair out
Lone iris on laurel island
The willow is steady
As wildly as it swings
At times, I'm wiser for it
Though that's not the case all the time
At times I adore it
Though occasionally I too hang my head
Ooh ooh oh the swooping bird
Ooh ooh oh the swooping bird
The air embroiders jasmine
I pack up all of my things
To go find a place to sing
Fringe on my blue Schwinn, I ride
Through the oak corridor
To that old Quarter
At times, I'm wiser for it
Alive when the heart is stirred
At times, I adore it
And today I saw a swooping bird
Ooh ooh oh the swooping bird
Ooh ooh oh the swooping bird
