Stroke my feathers and fees me seeds before i go take flight
wash me down and care for me tell me you know ile be alright
all alright
I’ve been squawking my way around the world i lost track of the days, keeping my self occupied all along the way. Motion sickness is my best friend it stays with me til the end emotions like the wind they change over and over again
Well I was such a spoilt child i never learned how to say no.
to the temptations of the wild and the pleasures that they behold,

Smokes Alone

See That Girl She sits outside She smokes alone. Oh she’s dreaming of the big wide world that’s gonna eat her up whole. She likes to think outside of the box, don’t spend much time at home. She’l steal all of your precious trinkets. She’l never leave you alone!
See That girl she sits outside
oh she waits for the moon
to climb right down from the sky
show her some place new
she likes to move like no other
oh shes light on her feet
she’l dance you up and down this town
setting fire to the streets
Is she still dreaming, Hold her while she sleeps
See that boy he walks outside. he’s feeling the rain, as he catches the drops on the tip of his tongue he ceases to feel pain. There’s many lands left to discover oh the worlds gone insane but dont let it tar you up my dear, its all just a game.

The sky falls through the clouds and into my hands I hold a piece of the sun.
Not the brightest of soles she burnt through my clothes and I got stuck in her hair.
I can not hide from this, I cant hide from this
LOVE
Then the rains came down, you wore the smile of a clown as you danced in the air. Then you shined on me and everything that I see shines like the goldest sand.
On a summers beach I feel the chill of snow.
It wakes me up and I regain my control
And i realise you aint long for this world
And as your light fades away, you smile at me and say i made it!

Angel

I thought I heard the sound of an angel from far away
Reverberates from a distant cloud bounce of the hillside
You came my way. What are you trying to say its so soothing
The way you’re grooving. What made you come this way did
you choose me? I’d like to think that you did!
I’ve been attracting the lightning, so striking and I have to say
Are you just another siren are you lying or are you truly the voice of a god, I don’t believe in a force for evil without good intent but many things I don’t perceive well they work their way into my head!
I thought a heard you falling in as the wind whistles between your broken wings
I took a feather form the surly night sky, like I teardrop fallen from a golden eye, hold you close forever, shield you from the stormy weather. A heaven I will build around you with the warm flesh of my human hands.
I feel out the sky today, tumbled through the wind and the rain

I walk down to the ocean, I was standing on the weeds.
Snapping and crackling, feeling restless, relentlessly reckless and free
And the rocks formed small reservoirs, teaming with life from the sea.
Just kicking back, playing it cooool in this safe retreat next to me.
The hermits get together, start swapping their homes needlessly.
A fight brakes out but its soon resolved and the crabs are left happy.
Some little fish swim in formation. They are learning the ways of the sea
They take no notice of the fussy crustaceans. They must swim fast or die easily
The limpets are resilient as they wait to return to the sea
Solid as a rock clamped on tight. Nobody’s going to eat me!
But the gulls they look hungry and they pier with their dinosaur eyes
Looking for love, death from above, that’s the element of surprise.
And then all of a sudden, something catches my eye.
Blood red jelly has taken me by surprise.
But she means no harm, I can tell from the VIBE!
She says HEY! What’s up? Puts her tentacles up
And then swishes from side to side
Anemone!

Embrace The Sun

Don’t be afraid now darling
When they hold you up to the sun
You cant escape now baby
You gotta become what you got to become
Omnipotent wise and strong
You’ll fall right into it darling
Embrace the sun.
And now the worlds stopped spinning and the sky begins to fall
We’re gonna need some help piece back together it all.
I know you will coz I know you well.
Your omnipotent, your wise and strong.
You fell right into it sugar
Embrace the sun.

Don’t sigh now sweet child, the world will continue to spin
Around, around and around. It’s a race you just cannot win
Light will fill your life and dark will be there to.
You’ll go through day and night and the world will turn with you
But as you move with the rhythm be sure you don’t loose your feet
And don’t loose the will to dance.
Nobodies perfect you know but you have to get up for the show
The whole world is waiting and the bands starting to play
So move, move like you mean it. shake like you’re on fire.
Show them something different show them something that’s alive
but as you move with the rhythm be sure you don’t loose your feet
And don’t loose the will to dance.
Lazy Ballerina I hope that you go far
Dance in distant lands, jumping from star to star
And I will watch you dancing, strumming on my guitar
And happiness will prosper coz we know who we are
And as you loose your self in the rhythm the air will taste so sweet!
And the whole world will start to dance!
