Summer's for Sailing

Summer's for sailing, winter for reading
Autumn's for dreaming, spring is for seeding
Plant your garden with your love, then harvest joy in the days above
I threw a stick into a pond,
watched it flow to streams beyond
Water turns to ice I guess, then back to water, nothing less
Nothing means nothing, but something is something
Hate is cruel, love is tough
Birds have language and so do the trees,
I'm certain the flowers can talk to the bees
There's music wafting on the breeze, even during the winter's freeze
In the end I just want to be kind,
Find some peace inside my mind,
I am flawed, I so admit, I'll do my best, my best with it
Nothing means nothing, but something is something
Hate is cruel and love is tough

Cloudy Day
03:00

Cloudy day, but I'm feeling OK
Maybe tomorrow the sun'll come out
Cloudy day, skies so gray
Seems like it'll always be this way
Change comes slow, when it comes at all
Waiting forever, or so it feels
Come on spring, have you got some good news?
All of my friends have got the blues
Sunny day, but my mood is gray
Maybe tomorrow it'll be better somehow
Sunny day, skies so blue
Nowhere to go, nothing to do
Sitting at home, watching time go by
It's hard like this, no matter what I try
Come on summer, can you help me out
We're all wondering what this is about
Time flies when you're having fun
But it stands still when you're having none
Same ol' day, but I'm feeling OK
Maybe tomorrow will be different somehow
Until then, I'll wait right here
Someday will come, it must be near

In This Room
03:04
|

Was in this room when it snowed two feet
Watched it fall out my bedroom window
Stayed home from school, my own private playground
Was in this room, where I learned to play
Sounds became songs, I sang out loud
Sang like a child, nothing held back
I remember, I remember everything
Was in these woods where I found a ghost
Maybe not really, but oh how I wanted
Adventure and mystery, a chance to be brave
Was in this tree where I kept close watch
I helped plant this tree, now it's tall as this house
I hope it will outlive me
I remember, I remember everything
Now in this room I say good bye
Gather my thoughts, try not to cry
Good bye, so long, I'll dream of you
Was in this new house, where I found that home
Isn't a place, but the people you keep
You're a part of me, in my heart forever
I'll remember, I'll remember everything
I'll remember, I'll remember everything

What'll I Do
01:45
|

What'll I do
When you are far away
And I am blue?
What'll I do?
What'll I do
When I am wondering who
Is kissing you?
What'll I do?
What'll I do
With just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?
What'll I do
With just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?

Rooibos

Rooibos, rooibos,
When you steep the angels weep
Rooibos, roobios
The world ceases lamenting
Rooibos, rooibos
Substance divine
Rooibos, rooibos
For my peace of mind
All my troubles melt away, Each day becomes a spectacular day
Each sip is like a blessing from high
Like jubilation from the sky
Mountains rise and countries fall
But I can conquer it all
The revolution is at hand
Pick your side, pick your man
I'll see you when the smoke is clear
Have a cup, have good cheer
In this world that we'll build, I'll take my cup hot or chilled
The world grows darker by the minute
New and strange for all those in it
But I know that we'll still stand
Victory ours, cup in hand
Rooibos the future brings, all day its praises I could sing
Rooibos such nectar sweet, brings me swiftly to my feet
Rooibos, rooibos, for those who long to be free
Rooibos, rooibos, come along with me

Little Black Cat

Little black cat on the windowsill
If you don't protect us, no one will
You are doing the best that you can
To vanquish all the evil in this land
Little black cat, heart so pure
Give us just a little, we always want more
All you want is to sleep all day
But who will keep the darkness at bay
All your hopes and dreams, tearing bursting at the seams
Little black cat, days so long
You know what is right and what is wrong
Do not be tempted, don't abandon your post
You're what we need and we love you the most
Little black cat, longing for sleep
Night is here again, darkness deep
Rest little brave one, close your eyes
Rest, for tomorrow again you rise
Oh, so far head, oh to bed to bed

This House
04:12

This house is full of ghosts
And they're tapping on the glass
Their souls fill up these old hallways
And I take solace in my room
I was so sure you would do
Everything I wanted you to
This house is older than dirt
It sways on its foundation
And I'm not sure where I am
I could be a million miles away
I was so sure that we would
I was so sure that we could
This house has kept me locked up tight
And when I go to sleep at night
Sometimes I think that you'll come back
You know I love you, what can I do
My heart's not made of stone
I hope you know I only wish you well

Restless and Weary
04:22
|
|||
|
Long night, couldn't sleep
Dreams don't come
Thoughts move too fast
In my head
Got up early
Watched the sun rise
Pink, gold, orange
Fire in the sky
Stand in the kitchen
Of this house we share
Make some tea, slowly drink
Rub the sleep out of my eyes
Sunrise fades away
New day dawns
So much that I have to do
But not yet
We've all got troubles
We all can't sleep
So many broken hearts
Restless and weary
For this moment
I just breathe in and out
For this moment
Troubles can't be found

When Winter Comes
04:22
|
|||
|
When winter comes, they all go inside
When winter comes, they push hope aside
They all hung their heads and loudly they cried
"Ain't no use, we already tried"
When winter comes, so does the cold
Creeps into bones of young and old
When winter comes, mittens are sold
Can't feel the fingers of hands that you hold
But I've got books I can't wait to read
The snow is like a blanket, it holds me close
I'll put on my jacket, see the world so quiet
Then back home again home again home
When winter comes, the sun goes away
The dark is so much more than the day
When winter comes, it's easy to say
"I won't get up today"
When winter comes, you can come to me
Together we'll weather any storm that you see
When winter comes, you don't have to fear
My warmth will always be near
Cause I've got books I can't wait for us to read
The snow is like a blanket, it holds us close
We'll put on our jackets, see the world so quiet
Then back home again, home again home
When winter comes, the world will glow
My heart will follow wherever you go
When winter comes, it's so much colder than spring
But we'll do our best some warmth to bring

When We Are Old
02:31

When we are old
I hope that you still like me
When we are old
I hope you're still around
When we are old
I hope you'll think I'm funny
When we are old
I hope that we will laugh
When we are old
I hope that we eat ice cream
When we are old
I hope that we eat cake
When we are old
I hope we have an interest
In the world
Outside of our house
When we are old
I hope that we're eccentric
And that we see the world
With joy instead of fear
When we are old
We'll be rich in life
I hope we'll trust the young
To save the world

Caribbean sun
Caribbean waters
Blue like my dreams
Shine like a jewel
Caribbean days
Sun so hot
Caribbean nights
Music in the streets
I was just a stranger
Only passing through
How was I to know
I'd leave a little bit of myself, with you
Cahuita
Caribbean soul
Everywhere you look
Caribbean dreams
You can see them on the streets
Coral reef
Trees like buildings
Caribbean time
It's too warm to rush, anyway
I was just a stranger
Only passing through
How was I to know
I'd leave a little bit of myself, with you
Cahuita

Nēnē, nēnē
Lives on the mountain like a king
Nēnē, nēnē
Nēnē isn't bothered by the wind and the rain
Nēnē, nēnē
Once you were giant, now you are small
Nēnē, nēnē
Soar through the air, graze on the land
Land of fire, land of sea
Land of nēnē endemically
Nēnē, nēnē
Careful on the road, careful when you walk
Nēnē, nēnē
No one else is like you, no one can be found
Nēnē, nēnē
I am your guardian, I will protect you
Nēnē, nēnē
I swore an oath that I will not break
Land of fire, land of sea
Land of nēnē endemically
Nēnē, nēnē
Makemake au i ka nēnē
Nēnē, nēnē
He kia'i nēnē au
