+ The Sun Is Going Down

The sun is going down
Let’s gather all around
The sun is going down
Let’s gather all around
The sun is going down

You bring the wood and I’ll bring the wine
The dancing of the moon can keep our only time
Let’s find a lonely roof or a tree that faces west
Let light recall our faces ‘til it sinks beneath the crest

This night, with you, and you and you....

The sun is going down
Let’s gather all around
The jangle of our feet
Let’s frolic, dance, repeat
The sun is going down

Let’s climb down in the dark, set fire to the logs
The murmur of our voices mingles music with the frogs
The grouse have gone to bed, and the baby squirrel too
Come snuggle here with me, maybe we’re the next ones to

This night, with you, this night with you...

We watch the ducks fly south
I taste the wonder in your mouth
I know we’re not always together
But we are birds of a feather

+ Pedal Strong

I went to the island all alone
Took a boat from Spain
Traded sun for the rain
Found a bike and a light
Pedaled through the night

Pedal strong, pedal fast
Pedal for a love that will last

I went to the island all alone
Every stroke racked my soul
Every hill a burning toll
Just my knife and the sheep
Deadly cliffs a spin and leap

Pedal strong, pedal fast
Pedal for a love that will last

I went to the island all alone
Found a love there so rare
Nothing past could near compare
But he had never left his home
Faced the lonely road alone

Pedal strong, pedal fast
Pedal for a love that will last

You sailed off from the island all alone
I went back to Spain
In my hands a broken chain
I heard you got your first pair of wheels
I remember how it feels

Pedal strong, pedal fast
Pedal for a love that will last

+ Tracks

600 miles of tracks between me and you
I’d hate all these trains if I didn’t love where they’re going to
I tap out my song to you, press your ear down for the sound
If I walk east, east, east, my inner light unbound
Then will you walk west, west, west and meet me in the middle ground?

500 miles to you
In my dreams you jump the night train
And when the sun rises, just a soft flame
Our tracks are one and the same

400 miles of tracks between me and you
I wake up to the sea and the gulls and the whistles blowing through
Far away there’s a boy throwing stones with a question in his hand
If I walk west, west, west with all the courage of a man
Then will you walk east, east, east and meet me in the place we planned?
Will you meet me in the place we planned?

300 miles to you
In my dreams you jump the night train
And when the sun rises, just a soft flame
Our tracks are one and the same

200 miles of tracks between me and you
I’d hate all these trains if I didn’t love where they’re going to
I tap out my song to you, press your ear down for the sound
If you walk west, west, west holding trust like a secret found
Then will I walk east, east, east and meet you in the middle ground?
Will I meet you in the middle ground?

100 miles to you
In my dreams you jump the night train
And when the sun rises, just a soft flame
Our tracks are one and the same

+ Wandering Queen

Embrace me where the stones are rose
You’re the mountain I want to climb
Scoop me up and lay me down
Braid me a crown from river vines

You’re the current and I’m your bowl
The quiet inlet where the fishes go
Body sleek as an otter’s dive
Fill up my banks till they overflow

Find me willing like you did before
I’m braver now and I will ask for more
Watch me surrender, unafraid to be seen
It’s a long journey’s end for the wandering queen

Bed below me and the skies above
Pebbles mark skin but don’t draw blood
I’ll crown you king of the stone and wood if you
Paint me a dress from sap and mud

Find me willing like you did before
I’m braver now and I will ask for more
Watch me surrender, unafraid to be seen
It’s a long journey’s end for the wandering queen

Embrace me where the stones are rose
You’re the mountain I want to climb
Scoop me up and lay me down
Braid me a crown from river vines

+ Pink Stone

Hold me close
I’m falling down
Hold me close
My dear

We drove to the river
Flushed pink stones
You wore your long coat
We walked alone

I see you on a mountain top
Hands raised high
Stars move in spirals
You hold them as they die

Hold me close
I’m falling down
Hold me close
My dear

I still feel the tears pull
Strong as the tide
So sit here close now
Don’t let me hide

Teach me to listen
Hold this ripe fruit
And take this pink stone
Its weight as proof

Hold me close
I’m falling down
Hold me close
My dear

Moon shine bright
Am I okay?
Hold me in stillness
Till I find my way

+ Come Back River

Come back river to the place you ran
The sun’s going down and the time is at hand
Come back river to the place you flowed
And hold me close in your icy robes

Come back now
Make your way
Oh the path’ll be different than it was
Yesterday

Come back river to the place you left
I lay on a stone all alone and wept
Come back river with my tears that fall
I gave you all away ‘til there was nothing left at all

Come back now
Make your way
Oh the path’ll be different than it was
Yesterday

Come back river my bed’s gone dry
Rub me ‘til I shimmer I reflect the sky
Come back river be the flesh of my bones
And glisten in my soul ‘til I can sing my own way home

Come back now
Make your way
Oh the path’ll be different than it was
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday

+ Corn Stalks

The corn stalks in the fall
A dry wind blowin’
Summer’s ease is gone
In our bones a hard cold knowin’

Call the autumn rains
The mold, the slime, the wither
Watch the corn stalks fall
Then disappear

We leave and return
We’re old and born again
Spiraling towards awake
Arise, behold the snake

Plow deep, plow wide
The darkest place I have inside
Plow deep, plow wide
The darkest place I have inside

A belly made from snow
Thin walls hold the shadow
Sitting here with crows, impatient vigil
Beseech this womb to kindle

Plow deep, plow wide
The darkest place I have inside
Plow deep, plow wide
The darkest place I have inside

+ Kite out on the Ocean

I let you go in Mexico
It wasn’t enough somehow
You pushed me in a doorway and said that you’d
Shown me all your cards now

But it was too late to take you back
A kite out on the ocean, no string attached

I was taller when I met you
Before you became a man
A girl of Norway fjords loves a
Brown-eyed boy, Mexican

But it was too late to take you back
A kite out on the ocean, no string attached

I still go by your old house
In spring when the cherries bloom
But your windowpane is empty
No secret love note blazes proudly from your room

And it’s too late to take you back
A kite out on the ocean, no string attached

You are grown
Make your own home
You are grown
Make your own home

It’s too late to take you back
A kite out on the ocean, no string attached

+ Cedar Tree Boy

Oh, boy o' mine
You smile so big
You’re tall like a cedar tree
And you look funny at me

Oh, boy o' mine
You smell so sweet
Like a mountain prairie in summer’s heat
Make me a bed in your golden wheat

Lover, friend, I can’t call you my own
You’re free like the river
Flow always where you ache and yearn
To my ocean, always return

Oh, boy o' mine
You sit there so strong
Lean with me, grow with me, weather the storm with me
Float here where sweet water kisses the sea

It’s not easy to let you go
Because I want to be the only rowboat your river knows
But if we’re not careful, we’ll block these waters high
No boats, just a dam jealously guarding the sky

Lover, friend, I can’t call you my own
You’re free like the river
Flow always where you ache and yearn
To my ocean, always return

To my ocean, always return
To my ocean, always return

+ Eiffel Tower Date

What do you do when he’s not counting anymore?
You go to the phone and type it in, but you know
He’s just not counting, anymore

It’s all my fault
Can’t call this fate
But I’m still counting down the years till our promised
Eiffel Tower date

If you want, you can call it my chocolat
You try so hard to let it go and then one day
It’s let go, and you’re not counting

It’s all my fault
Can’t call this fate
But I’m still counting down the years till our promised
Eiffel Tower date

What do you do when he’s not counting anymore?
You go to the phone and type it in, but you know
He’s just not counting, anymore

Stitch an Ocean

<a href="http://listen.wrenmusic.net/album/stitch-an-ocean">Stitch an Ocean by Wren</a>

+ It's Raining

It's raining, it's pouring
Oh let the rain fall down upon me
On dirty skin, a tarnished heart
A past that weighs so heavily

Turn my chest towards
What life holds in store
Wash me deeply
I don't want to carry it no more
Oh I wandered far and wide across the moors
Oh I left my dirty tracks upon the floor

It's raining, it's pouring
Oh let the rain fall down upon me
Limbs are bare like veiny tears
Confusion's just a verdant memory

Turn my chest towards
What life holds in store
Wash me deeply
I don't want to carry it no more
Oh I tried to sprout a thousand apple cores
Oh I fought against the wind with open doors

It's raining, it's pouring
Oh let the rain fall down upon me
On tender skin, an open heart
A past that flows down peacefully
Peacefully
Peacefully

+ Sea Calls

Mister, when he kissed her
In a rowboat late that night
Hidden ground where he shaped that mound
Five years alone at night

Sister, blackest fox fur
Wait still with all of your might
In golden grass watching seasons pass
Five years alone at night

And the trees fall and the sea calls
Waves bring us back the bits
And you raise walls and you hoist logs
And you build a home out of it

Bright night, moon at twilight
On two lonely ones down by the shore
Scuffling sound where her paws hit ground
A wild one waiting no more

Sister, when first he saw her
A dark shape, her eyes bright with fright
But as she came, as though she once were tame
His hands found a woman in the night

And the trees fall and the sea calls
Waves bring us back the bits
And you raise walls and you hoist logs
And you build a home out of it

Mister, when he kissed her
In a rowboat late that night
On rolling seas, house glowing through the trees
Oh simplest life, our gifts of the night

And the trees fall and the sea calls
Waves bring us back the bits
And you raise walls and you hoist logs
And you build a home out of it
Out of it
You build a home out it

Trees fall and the sea calls
On the shore
Trees fall and the sea calls
On the shore

+ Strong Ones

Back again where the wild cherry bends
Count the stones wide as a man
Down round the lane, past the flowerin' purslane
Water charms its way through the stone

And here's where strong ones weep
Sleepless find their sleep
And here's where strong ones weep
Sleepless find their sleep

Winged things, size of my hand
Silver moss, hanging down in strands

Left it there in the lichen of her hair
Earth bead blue upon the chest
In cellar, on the floor, under heavy oaken door
Raven eyes gold in the dark

And here's where strong ones weep
Sleepless find their sleep
And here's where strong ones weep
Sleepless find their sleep

Winged things, size of my hand
Silver moss, hanging down in strands

Back again where the wild cherry bends
Count the stones wide as a man
Down round the lane, past the flowerin' purslane
Water charms its way through the stone

+ Amongst the Pine

Where the river flows
And the yarrow grows
We left our lives behind
To sleep amongst the pine

They roused us from our sleep
The drums began to beat
Up and up and up
The sun did creep

Alone, but at home

Mother, hold me
I've been so lonely
Mother, hold me
I've been so lonely

We drew a circle there
Where the earth and stone was bare
We smudged with smoking sage
And took off our names

We crossed the line of sticks
Our fear was hot and thick
We walked our separate ways
To sit out three days
Alone

A tarp to shield from rain
That oh so quickly came
With boom and flashing light
As daytime turned to night

My greatest fears unleashed
But all I felt was peace
Dry riverbed cupping me
Beneath a dripping tree

Alone
But at home

Mother, hold me
I've been so lonely
Mother, hold me
I've been so lonely

+ Hand-Sewn Ocean

Down in the old oak grove
Leaning back against summer's stove
Leaf cuts dark in a brilliant sky

Stitch an ocean by and by
Stitch an ocean by and by

Fabric scraps and a pile of jewels
Peacock feathers floating in a pool
A piece of this and a piece of that
If you could just sit with the world in your lap
If you could just sit with the world in your lap

Prick and suck, pat and pull
Hand-sewn ocean we've a storm to lull
Prick and suck, pat and pull
Hand-sewn ocean we've a storm to lull
Hand-sewn ocean we've a storm to lull

Momma's apron and brother's pants
Bengal tiger and lace from France
All is still 'til a church bell rings
Catch a butterfly and stitch its wings

Stitch it quick we've a map to sew
Rocks and streams and the things that grow
Remind of a world once fresh and sweet
Fly our quilt my little insect fleet

Prick and suck, pat and pull
Hand-sewn ocean we've a storm to lull
Prick and suck, pat and pull
Hand-sewn ocean we've a storm to lull
Hand-sewn ocean we've a storm to lull

Fly our quilt out across the land
Forests, river, and desert sand
Dream a new dream for all creatures of earth
As we lay down our quilt for the coming rebirth

Prick and suck, pat and pull
Hand-sewn ocean we've a storm to lull
Prick and suck, pat and pull
Hand-sewn ocean we've a storm to lull
Hand-sewn ocean we've a storm to lull

+ The Road You Thought You Knew

I don't know why
The birds fly over the hill
You'll be happy still

Roll beneath the sheets
The fabric up against your cheek
The presence that you seek

Where's the road across the plains
Where's the road you thought you knew
Before the grass it came it grew, grew, grew, grew, grew
Where's the road across the plains
Where's the road you thought you knew
Before the grass it came it grew, grew, grew, grew, grew
Before it grew

The ending of the numb
The strength to stay instead of run
To grow what you'd undone

The sweat, the sun, the burn
The slow returning to wings
The bird she sings

+ A Rianxeira

A Virxe de Guadalupe
Cando vai pola ribeira
A Virxe de Guadalupe
Cando vai pola ribeira
Descalciña pola area
Parece unha rianxeira
Descalciña pola area
Parece unha rianxeira

Ondiñas veñen
Ondiñas veñen
Ondiñas veñen e van
Non te vaias rianxeira
Que te vas a enamorar

A Virxe de Guadalupe
Cando vai para Rianxo
A Virxe de Guadalupe
Cando vai para Rianxo
A barquiña que a trouxo
Era de pau de laranxo
A barquiña que a trouxo
Era de pau de laranxo

Ondiñas veñen
Ondiñas veñen
Ondiñas veñen e van
Non te vaias rianxeira
Que te vas a marear

A Virxe de Gauadalupe
Quen a fixo moreniña
A Virxe de Gauadalupe
Quen a fixo moreniña
Foi un raíño de sol
Que entrou pola ventaniña
Foi un raíño de sol
Que entrou pola ventaniña

Ondiñas veñen
Ondiñas veñen
Ondiñas veñen e van
Non te vaias rianxeira
Que te vas a marear

+ Same Hat

And if I thought you would just fade away
And disappear without a trace, well I was wrong
And no matter how I try to cut you out
You're still around you're still my pal

And I know it's sometimes hard
But you're still written in the leaves
That come out every spring
You're hanging in my trees

And this is a song of regret for everything
That could have come
This is a song of regret
For your hole that took so long to fill
And then I see you with her
I'm not jealous I'm just weirded out that
You could be

In the same place
In the same bed
On the same sand
Same hat on your head, same
Deadly scorpions hidden in suits
Legs tangled up at night like roots and
I never thought I would see that
I would see that

A couple months ago I had a dream about you
She was there, you walked into the view
You held her hand, you held her hand
And I knew it wasn't me and you

And then we went into the room
I didn't see you, I only saw her
The way that you do
I took her by the hand, I pulled her down
She lighted like the moon upon me
I ravished myself on her, for you

And why does she have to have my name?
Aren't there enough other girls with other names?
So I'll change mine
Don't dare to call me that
Can't regret this lonely path
That's led me back inside to me

+ Dandelion

I watched you with a scarf tied
Right around my neck
Bright eyes like light in water
Singing clear from across the deck

These strange moments
Somehow knowing wind on cheek
Before it tears up trees
Searching blindly for what it seeks

And I should have told you
Yes I should have warned you
I should have told you
Before you opened up your heart

When is it just a look
When's it something more?
Is this my imagining
Or has this been before?

Oh oh falling
Down by the sea
Moon and tide and your sweet face
All the things that beckon me

I thought you were the one
But love isn't always enough when you're undone
You wooed me with wonder
You pulled me asunder

But I should have told you
Yes I should have warned you
I should have told you
Before you opened up your heart

This was our dandelion
Momentary blooming light
Until the winds resume their rushing
Rustle, motion, seeds take flight

No matter how hard I try
I just can't seem to stay
So even though it pains us both
I must love you in my own way

But I should have told you
Yes I should have warned you
I should have told you
Before you opened up your heart

And I should have told you
Yes I should have warned you
I should have told you
Before you opened up your heart
Your heart
Your heart

+ When the Happiness Comes

When the happiness comes
When the happiness comes
After so long away

When he breaks your heart
When he breaks your heart
And you smile because you feel so alive

Well the world's so full you burst
You forget just how alive alive alive you are
Embrace the sting and kiss
All that's hidden in the mist
And all you are is love
When the Happiness Comes
When the Happiness Comes
When the Happiness Comes

Just when you thought you'd forgotten
Turn around and there you'll find it
There the happiness comes
There the happiness comes
There the happiness comes

When you walk alone
When you walk alone
Feeling grateful, feeling home

Bone Nest

+ Honey

Honey
Butter in the morning
When you wake up, open eyes
To that sweet thing
Beside you

Ice age outside
But we have an inferno
Bitterness is fading away
Peeling back your rind
I find you

Something's wrong
When you're gone
Like children cold in beds
Can't help but shiver
Like the wings up on a fly
Can't help but quiver
In the wind
In the wind

Evening
Falling at our dock
Everything is cold but your body
Like a sun-warmed rock
Beside me

Goodbye
A moment almost over
Stand up walk away from that pair
Frozen there
On the water

Something's wrong
When you're gone
Like children cold in beds
Can't help but shiver
Like the wings upon a fly
Can't help but quiver
In the wind
In the wind

Honey
Butter in the morning
When you wake up, open eyes
To that sweet thing
Left inside you

+ Giant Shoes

Where the rocks lie piled like giant shoes
Things you can't refuse
When the things you think but just don't say
Haunt your following days

I am tempted but don't fall in your arms
I struggle between passion and no harm
Admire me, then I fall
I am scared but standing tall

Free falling in to sea
Fate rises up to meet me

Where the roses cluster beneath the grass
Barefoot we walk on glass
When you think your soul is forever lost
You find it jeweled with moss

I am tempted but don't fall in your arms
I struggle between passion and no harm
Admire me, then I fall
I am scared but standing tall
Free falling in to sea
Fate rises up to meet me

Where the nettles open their purple veins
Touch reserved for the insane
Where the sea shuffles its heavy load
In the sand a widening road

I am tempted but don't fall in your arms
I struggle between passion and no harm
Admire me, then I fall
I am scared but standing tall
Free falling in to sea
Fate rises up to meet me

Where the rocks lie piled like giant shoes
Things you can't refuse
Things you can't refuse
Things you can't refuse

+ Juggling Boy

Juggling boy
Juggling boy
Juggling boy

Blue ball, comfrey blossom sky
Green ball, tree swing looping high
Two balls yo-yo nearly paired
Ghostly hands push me up from the chair

Juggling boy take a walk with me
Down to the hut made from willow trees
Spin me around, side to side
Red ball, juggle me down your cherry slide

Two balls, falling on the floor
Reach for them and take one more
The light's so dim you can hardly see
Juggling boy take a walk with me

Juggling boy take a walk with me
Down to the hut made from willow trees
Spin me around, side to side
Red ball, juggle me down your cherry slide

Three balls, flying through the air
It looks so easy when you finally get there
Never thought I'd move beyond those two
But you rolled me in red then you left with the dew

Juggling boy take a walk with me
Down to the hut made from willow trees
Spin me around, side to side
Red ball, juggle me down your cherry slide
Your cherry slide

Juggling boy
Juggling boy
Juggling boy

+ Seal Barnacle

You're the striking hour
The turning of the sour into larger, sweeter fruit
Weeding out the parasites

Who've colonized my roots
Who've colonized my roots

Who ever knew that things could be
Like those little washed up dreams?
I looked for you out upon the rocks
But you're the seal right under my dock
You're the seal right under my dock
You're the seal right under my dock

You're the wind
Pushing me to save my sight
Before I go blind
Staring into the night
So I run by

New growth on the pine needles
Like green sparks
That's just me there
Shooting out of the dark
Shooting out of the dark

Barnacle
Open up your mouth to sky
You're a gaping crater
You're my missing third eye

Who knew
When I threw
That stick weed at you
That I'd stopped nesting my sad past
I'm a bird, I flew
I'm a bird, I flew
Down south to you

+ Winter Ground

Faded dreams
Tattered linens on a string
Fluttering in the breeze

There's a loneliness that's hard to bare
Lovers flock around you
Without a single care

Fallen sparks
Those last remarks
I'm caught in the wave
Oh ride it far away, ride it far away
The winter ground is cold and bare
I'm fighting against this frigid air
But underneath this dark despair
I grow

Moments gone
Back at home again and all remains is a song
To remind me

My hope's a withered husk
But know where to dig my soul grows strong
Under the crust

+ Fairies

I don't know the way from here
All I've known is the path of fear
I can't hide the way I feel

Hurry up future, hurry up and congeal
Hurry up future, hurry up and congeal

Put it out, under my pillow
Figured somehow, I'd learn to kiss my elbow
Crouched small, down upon my knees
Thought by waiting I'd see fairies in the trees
Thought by waiting I'd see fairies in the trees

I'm a child in a dark living room
Chairs I thought I knew, grimace and loom
Maelstrom of moments but where is the truth?
Wake in the morning and I still feel my tooth
Wake in the morning and I still feel my tooth

I don't know the way from here
All I've known is the path of fear
I can't hide the way I feel
Hurry up future, hurry up and congeal
Hurry up future, hurry up and congeal

+ Last September

Do you remember
Golden trees towering 'round you last September?
Air crisp and sweet
Chestnuts on the ground, mushrooms at your feet

And do you remember
Eagle's piercing cry drifting last December?
All of this and more is lost
We gave it all away for wealth but our own home is the cost

I'd like to have hope for us
But if everything's wrong
Why is no one
Making a fuss that

It's all gone now
They've taken it away
They've take the stars down
From where they lay

And would you choose this road
Children raised by TVs in automatic mode?
You missed the story
Follow back the pieces to the clear cut and the quarry

I'd like to have hope for us
But if everything's wrong
Why is no one
Making a fuss that

It's all gone now
They've taken it away
They've take the stars down
From where they lay

+ Sword in the Stone

I live where the river meets the sea
And when the tide is high
It rolls backwards silently

And all you dared to know is gone
Against the coming storm, you
Moored yourself against a sword, you
Leaned back to test your strength, you
Never knew that you'd pull it out of the stone

By day the heron stalks fish up the river
But by night on the border
He's a beacon, woman, shiver

And all you dared to know is gone
Against the coming storm, you
Moored yourself against a sword, you
Leaned back to test your strength, you
Never knew that you'd pull it out of the stone

+ Lark

Converging in the cave
Is this how we must behave?
Is it too much to ask
That we don't down the whole flask?

No things will never stay the same
One day the land will retract our claim
We'll forget all of this
Live our lives with joy and bliss
Finally returning back home
Oh, the things we dare to think are ours
As though we could ever know the best names for the stars
They were never never never never never never never never
Never never, never really ours

Down in the dirt
Worms consume our hurt
Letting go of things
Trees open up their rings

Walking from the dark
We stop to watch a lark
And floating in the wind
Seeds for starting again

+ Whirlpool

Work, work, work
You've got to win the race
Life's an endless hustle
And a never-ending chase
'Til you're gone

Never sit still
Afraid to be awake
You've got to avoid the creatures
That are hiding beneath the lake of your skin

And who am I in the story?
What makes me worth knowing?
The whirlpool in your eye
A single genuine sigh of contentment

It's all a lie
It's all fake
The construction of a life
That ain't nothing but a remake

The shredding of the rope
The fraying of the seam
The pushing at the framework
Of a crooked leaning beam

And who am I in the story?
What makes me worth knowing?
The whirlpool in your eye
A single genuine sigh of contentment

The river stretching and rushing
My soul without all of its hushing
Washing myself of my story
A rowboat escapes from its mooring

+ Rocks & Bones

The year I thought the winter would never end
Dared to spend it all far away from all my friends
The year I tried to sew up my poor tattered heart

And then I finally realized it had already fallen apart
Already fallen apart
Already fallen apart

Last winter when I heard my heart had a voice
Last spring when I fell in love without a thought or choice
Last summer when I let go of fear and found my song
Last fall when I learned that change is more than one season long
More than one season long
More than one season long

We wear the seasons inside our skins, inside our homes
They tie us down upon the earth among the rocks and bones
And if we try to shake off the lessons that they spin
They just keep on coming back again and again
Again and again
Again and again

This spring when I'll shoulder away the dark
In summer when I'll bare my soul anew to sunburn marks
In fall when I'll wander familiar lands
In winter when I'll release all my regrets back to the sand
Back to the sand
Back to the sand

The year I thought the winter would never end
Dared to spend it all far away from all my friends
The year I tried to sew up my poor tattered heart
And then I finally realized I am the missing part
I am the missing part
I am the missing part
