buffalo 04:26
clothes on the line have been there for days corn stalks praying in the breeze crickets whistling summertime movin on the wind ripping up hilltop and stream get to the very edge of change waiting where do the buffalo go where do the buffalo roam dying time

turn away 05:00
turn away i don't wanna see your face late at night walking through the chaparral branches cracking leaves rustling and the wind it blows to my left i see the shadow coming close wide awake through eyelids closed i see the storm energy swirls around over the desert floor to my left i see the shadow coming close and i lay with my legs to my chest till morning comes and releases me spritis howl through the dark and i find no rest till morning comes and releases me

so simple gotta let it go feathers move in the wind see em fly see em dancing oh what it is to feel you blow your wishes to the dying stars and i am here watching it all black and white still photograph this moment ever fleeting it's here it's here it's here it's gone you blow your wishes to the dying stars the crows are calling out you are pushing a cloud we move along pulled on kite strings your heart it beats and it beats on and on you never know how to feel you are pushing a cloud roses unfold

willow whisp 04:02
rain pouring out of a cotton gray sky so this is the end this is what it is to die the feeling of it's uplifting me up rounder than a hot air balloon and the world is spinning round and round i am spinning round too rain harder now a rivulet, a torrent thunder clap crash slanderous across the spine you are but a snake in the grass running from the fickle fire closing your eyes and holding your breath you are but a willow wisp it's a beautiful high blood leaving the brain the river's giving a sigh she's gonna burst the edge of the stream this is where i'm gonna live this is where i'm gonna die i ain't got nowhere else to go just a willow wisp caught in the wind

fall fall falling fast you were dead in the water i can't hear a sound you say i can't hear it now so like suicide you were dead in the water i can't hear a sound you say i can't hear it now

birch bark 03:08
the wood pile's getting low they say it's gonna snow rice and beans on the stove tonight for the third night in a row i've been holding tight to the bounty of the sun as winter's come it's sure to end and the magic carries on underneath a blanket of snow there's a world below the birch bark helps to start our fire in the morning when it's cold

fox and owl 03:21
found a bone yesterday in the forest fresh kill it had blood held the bone aloft in my hand fox appeared to tell me a story it was bard owl he caught a mouse underneath the owl mouse changed grew a bushy tail muzzle got longer and teeth got big owl said 'sorry i mistook you for someone else' cause you run like the wind through the forest you run like the wind through my heart white roses fox now i see you i am in love with you i will give you warmth from the sun with your warmth i will grow us a forest we'll feed all the creatures of the earth together we will live in harmony we will watch the seasons cycle round white roses but soon owl he grew jealous wanted to be closer to the earth he flew out of the sky cast a shadow over the land beneath his powerful stare the fox turned back into a mouse white roses

mama's in the kitchen calling out daddy's got a fishing line chicken's in the cornfield scratching out a meal chimney swifts circle round the fire fixing up to run so far away my mind can't catch me for a while the past is the past and it don't ever change life is but a fickle fire

b minor 05:23
one of these days the grasses right outside my door will die and become the soil one of these days the house that i built with my hands will follow me back into the earth i am an old soul i've been around before i am an old soul
