The ghost of summer In her slumber Moving sound through liquid heat Her empty pools All these new rules And promises we cannot keep Does it matter How we flatter Some dark dream that’s meant to die So parched Our blinkered hearts Can’t be ever satisfied Chorus All the misbehavers doing her no favors Hearts worn out so down and low Holding onto sorrows, fading to tomorrows Have we lost all self-control? Our bitterness is ripe, keeps us up all night Memories of summer past Honey, please don’t fight it, you can squeeze inside it Come on through the hourglass Human nature Is a stranger To the notion of a pause We hitched a ride To this landslide Closed our eyes and clenched our jaws Mother Earth In her rebirth Caterpillars on the leaf Ghost of summer Like the mother Only rain brings her relief Just like that The year went flat Now can’t tell any day apart Go to places See no faces Someone’s dream got left ajar Here in limbo Half-open window With the cosmos drifting in Ancient words The songs of birds Ghost without and ghost within

I want to know What you sing at home When you think that nobody’s listening How do you tell Those who “wish” you well That their whispers are not worth the whispering Chorus You don’t want to be good, you want to be great After all only fools leave it all up to fate Juniper Jones All on your own I know you can do this without them Juniper Jones You feel it in your bones Going somewhere that nobody’s been If someone’s in your way Ignore what they say You will do what the others just dream You’ve got that voice of gold Done with doing what you’re told You’re the one that we all came to see Juniper Jones The most vibrant tones Can’t capture the spirit you’re after Juniper Jones All the unknowns You love the questions that have no answers

We’re so evolved Sophisticated Every thought So innovative We think we’ve got It figured out Standing so tall I have my doubts Let our guard down Here’s what we’ll find Back in the pattern Pattern of mind We think we see But we are blind Just a pattern A pattern of mind Pattern of mind Pattern of mind Going forward In rewind Pattern of mind Pattern of mind Around our ankle It wraps its vine Thought we were free For a minute Thought we were out Now we’re back in it Try to act cool Try not to show it We can pretend But we all know it We think we’re messy It’s cut and dry Locked in the pattern The pattern of mind A constellation A fixed design Just a pattern A pattern of mind Pattern of mind Pattern of mind Try to get out It pulls from behind Pattern of mind Pattern of mind What a drag This humankind Free will If we use it It’s a muscle And we can lose it Are we the wheel? Or just the track? It takes everything To not fall back As sure as sure As cells divide Back in the pattern The pattern of mind Seeking bliss Or the divine Just a pattern A pattern of mind Pattern of mind Pattern of mind Our thoughts slip And our thoughts slide Pattern of mind Pattern of mind Making shapes and Seeing signs Plant a garden Turn off your phone When was the last time You were alone With just your breath And nothing more Our thoughts lead somewhere Trapdoors So take a walk Here's what you’ll find Patterns in the sky Patterns in the mind Don’t try to figure out How to be alive Looking for meaning In the patterns of mind Pattern of mind Pattern of mind Think we’re driving Just along for the ride Pattern of mind Pattern of mind Go ahead work hard For your overtime

When the skyline fades out You’re heavy with doubt And hope is slipping away Don’t despair I’ll find you out there Lift your head above the waves Chorus Keep your light steady Keep your heart full ‘Cause I’m gonna find you Yeah, I’m gonna pull you Out of the darkness Give me your hands if they’re cold The long night behind us Ahead shining gold Lonely and adrift Haunted by what if Keep your light steady Night came on too soon No sign of the moon Keep your light steady The heave of each crash The sea cold and black Keep your light steady I know it’s been hard But stay right where you are Keep your light steady If you go down I will follow Let love into Every hollow

Evening on our faces, the sky a Valentine Finger tracing on the table through a spill of wine Children weaving in and out of trees they promenade Truth of summer in their hearts, all other truths delayed There it was and there it goes Cicada in a bird’s claw The things they see before they know What it is that they saw Wind the threads that make a life – wild grasses twisted tight Secret passed from lip to lip, in the hieroglyphic light Sprinkler in hypnotic sway, mockingbird sounds her alarm Pliant limbs & scrawny waists up up up in mothers’ arms There it was and there it goes Sparrow in a cat’s paw The things they see before they know What it is that they saw Our two worlds side by side, the line is soft and blurred Sometimes we let things slip by, something’s overheard Oh to be as light as they, these angels with their sprightly games We spring them out into our world but they don’t even know our names There it was and there it goes So much they won’t recall The things they see before they know Bird-hushed trees so tall

Who will free you? If you won’t free yourself Who will see you? If you won’t see yourself Desert plants break like bones Balance tilts towards the unknowns Mystical communion Spiritual reunion The rain disappears halfway down the sky Skyline ghost town Unvoiced pure sound These strange mysteries of the world as our guide Balance tilts towards the unknowns Time will seize you ‘Til you separate from the self May the light in the morning wake you gently May there be nothing you want, no one to envy Mystical communion Spiritual reunion The strange mysteries of the world as our guide

For Halloween you were Annie Hall I wanted to kiss you, but I didn’t touch you at all I worked so hard not to fall in love Every inch of air between us full of heat and buzz You were my best friend so all feelings were postponed Kept it inside, rubbed it down to the smoothest stone Hard to remember now after all that we’ve been through You said things are happening for me, are they happening for you? Chorus Helen, can you forgive me for breaking your heart? Helen, if it weren’t impossible, could we make a fresh start? Outside the bar that night in Red Hook I wanted to tell you everything, turn the pages of our little book But I didn’t have the courage to put it in words I didn’t know what you had already heard Your vivid heart Scientific mind So much love But never at the right time

Chorus I know love comes around on another day I can wait I can wait I know love comes around on another day I’m not gonna go away I can wait a whole lifetime, babe Sky so blue it blew your mind Everything about you says take my time Slippery stones, dimly lit path I’m gonna love you ‘til your love comes back Don’t you worry, don’t you fret I don’t have any regret You may be mad, but it’ll pass I’m gonna love you ‘til your love comes back

Every bit of love You let die in your heart It tears you apart Every bit of love you let die Every bit of love You let go of out of sadness or fear It disappears Every bit of love you let go of Chorus All the dread in front of you And all the love behind You thought to get anywhere You had to be the leaving kind You built your new life spaciously But it's hard to vanish graciously You named all the things And then you forgot the names Here comes the night The quiet, the thinning out The twilight path, the seeping doubt Here comes the night and the quiet The jumble of your senses The past and present tenses Midst the primrose and wisteria All of a life's materials

Was it a dream or was it just dreamlike? Was it seamless or did it just seem like? Are you my lover or are you just a lookalike? Were you really mad or just looking for a fight? Was it the end of time or just the end of the night? Are you my lover or are you just a lookalike? Am I high or is this just the high life? Is this the after party or the afterlife? Are you my lover or are you just a lookalike? I couldn’t care less Is that careless? Well, then I’m careless No way of being Is as reeling As you and me
