Rubicon
Do you wish upon the stars
Watch them sparkle and fade?
Would you dance in the dark,
Where the streets have no name?
Will you be
My Rubicon?
Cross with me
The Rubicon,
Just a shallow stream forty miles long
Where the rivers end, seas continue on.
When you look up at the sky
Do you dream about it too:
If we were not afraid
How much more would we do?
Will you be
My Rubicon?
Cross with me
The Rubicon,
Just a shallow stream forty miles long
Where the rivers end, seas continue on.
I'll go seek the Great Perhaps
Cast the die, we live but once-
So great stories go -
Will you be
My Rubicon?
Cross with me
The Rubicon,
Just a shallow stream forty miles long
Where the rivers end
Where the rivers end
Where the rivers end, seas continue on.

Edge of the World
You say hello
In my car in a parking lot.
So much to say, we don't talk, it's absurd
and scary to move when you're perched at the edge of the world.
What if I fall?
Oh, but my darling, what if you fly, what if you fly?
Wish I could hold,
hold you close in my arms like I do in my mind.
Maybe next life
around.
You turn away,
Run your hand through your hair and wait.
Rain outside falls angry and fast,
Hitting walls you built in your heart I don't seem to get past.
What if I fall?
Oh, but my darling, what if you fly, what if you fly?
Wish I could hold,
hold you close in my arms like I do in my mind.
Maybe next life
around.
I try to smile,
change my mind and sit next to you, quiet.
Smoke in your eyes or cigarette ash
I watch you open the door and look over the edge.
What if I go?
Oh, but my darling, what if you stay, what if you stay?
Wish you would hold,
hold me close in your arms somewhere someday.
Maybe we'll be
okay.

To the Dogs
Not everything that's broken
is asking to be fixed
some words are best unspoken,
some wounds are best unstitched,
some scheduled appointments
it’s better to have missed
some letters-leave unopened
some lips-pass up unkissed
and when your heart is broken
let it bleed
and when your heart is broken
let it bleed
Not everything in darkness
yearns to feel the light
not everything that's flightless
is dreaming to take flight
sometimes there are no patterns,
no clear black and white
no learning to be patient
there's just no end in sight
and when those dogs are sleeping, let them lie
and if those dogs are sleeping, let them lie
Let them lie, let it be
let it hurt and let it bleed
let it go, far out of reach
but how do you tell when is which?!
Not everything unknown
wants to be revealed,
not every straw that's woven
into gold is real
though nothing lasts forever
each moment is complete,
no way to make it better
less bitter or more sweet
so when your heart is broken, let it bleed
and if your heart is breaking, let it bleed
and when your heart is aching,
let it.

Without a Word
I think I talk a lot
You say you can tell
And it might be just as well.
‘cause I promise you
That this much is true:
I am a good listener too.
So tell me 'bout your hopes, about your fears
Tell me why the current flows
so fast on this river, tell me
Without a word
About your world
And all of its pieces
And I promise, I promise,
I'll listen.
Do you think of me
On a rainy day
When the world seems bleak and grey?
I'll admit it's true
When I think of you
All my greys just turn to blue.
I'll tell you 'bout my hopes about my fears
I'll tell you when the sun comes
Just over these fields, I'll tell you
Without a word
About my world
And all of its wishes
If you promise,
You promise,
You'll listen.
Ooh
Oh tell me 'bout your dreams, the songs you sing
Tell me 'bout the sky at night
Wherever you sleep-I'll listen
Without a word,
Just tell me your world
With all of its secrets.
And I promise,
I promise,
I'll keep 'em.

Take Your Time Loving Me
I'm hardly your Juliet
And what do you bet
You don't ride no white horse
Hell, we don't know how we met.
Guess the stars misaligned
And the whiskey set you free
For just one night, so take your time
Loving me.
You ain't no Prince Charming
And I am through with love
But we keep chasing one another
Like ships in the night.
And with every year that passes
It gets harder to see
But it's fine, take your time
Loving me.
Oh, take your time, wait for love
Oh, I don’t mind, I’ll wait for love
Love ain't all fairy tale
Tucked up on the shelf.
It ain't you against the dragon, no,
It's you against yourself.
Though we cast our own dark shadows
And we swim our own rough seas
I'm not scared! Take your time
Loving me.
