Easy Riddles in Creeks
You turn your eyes to her mouth.
You see the birds flying south.
You take a step towards her voice
Because she leaves you no choice.
You walk a labyrinth through the mountains.
You leave your name scratched on the peaks.
You leave the hardest hearts in rivers.
You leave the easy riddles in creeks.
She throws a stone out to sea.
You carve her name on a tree.
She turns to give you a smile.
You take her hand for a while.
You walk a labyrinth through the mountains.
You leave your name scratched on the peaks.
You leave the hardest hearts in rivers.
You leave the easy riddles in creeks.
She runs her hands through your hair.
She buries all your despair.
She shuts her eyes as you sing
Because you mean everything.
You walk a labyrinth through the mountains.
You leave your name scratched on the peaks.
You leave the hardest hearts in rivers.
You leave the easy riddles in creeks.

Every Rabbit is Crushed
This bottle of scotch won’t last long in my trembling hand.
I knew they’d be trouble as soon as I bought the land.
So much of my life has been spent dreaming of this day.
When every last one of them dead in the garden lay.
Friends and lovers have died.
All the birds have been hushed.
All my tears have been cried.
Every rabbit is crushed.
So many bleak memories filling my weary mind.
The time I got kicked in the eye and went nearly blind.
The day thirteen dozen surrounded the garden shed.
The subsequent damage to my nerves was permanent.
Friends and lovers have died.
All the birds have been hushed.
All my tears have been cried.
Every rabbit is crushed.
I honestly thought I’d expire before the pests.
But luck and a keen sense of purpose have served me best.
Seems now that they’ve gone I have little worth fighting for.
I’ll have to abandon this place to forget the war.
Friends and lovers have died
All the birds have been hushed
All my tears have been cried
Every rabbit is crushed.
Every rabbit is crushed.
Every rabbit is crushed.

Every Rocket I Crash
Back when I was 8 years old
I saw you in the field behind those
Trees your hair as black as coal.
I dreamt that night of all the wholesome
Beauty in the world arose the next day in the field I found
They'd took you to the moon.
I looked up at the sky and there it was
That yellow crescent lip.
I swore that moment I would give my
life to build a rocketship in
which to fly from here to there with
that I shouted at you longing,
"Love I'll see you soon."
We'll be together someday.
With every rocket I crash,
I'll better do what I do.
A little luck and some cash and I'll be coming for you.
With every rocket I break,
A bit more cardboard and glue,
I learn from every mistake,
I'll soon be coming for you.
I'll soon be coming for you.
In highschool I kept mainly to myself, my teachers stupefied
As I was always lost and idling every minute of the dial
thinking of the moment when I'd see you for the first time
in a half a dozen years.
When I would get home from school I'd head straight to the spare bedroom
the project was progressing smoothly, parts they sent from Syracuse had just arrived
and pretty soon I solved the last equation thereby shattering my fears.
We'll be together someday.
with every rocket I crash,
I'll better do what I do.
A little luck and some cash and I'll be coming for you.
With every rocket I break,
And the schematics redo.
I learn from every mistake.
I'll soon be coming for you.
I'll soon be coming for you.
By myself I've lived for over 40 years.
I've studied aeroengineering at the local college and by day I fix old planes,
but in the evening I no longer sleep I set ablaze a dozen little farms.
Most recently the prototype stayed on it's course and made some gains.
I'm confident impending changes will result in finally making
all my dreams come true by saving you.
We'll both be saved when I can hold you in my arms.
We'll be together someday.
with every rocket I crash,
I'll better do what I do.
A little luck and some cash and I'll be coming for you.
With every rocket I break,
Replace this circuit that screw.
I learn from every mistake, I'll soon be coming for you.
I'll be coming for you.
I'll be coming for you.
I am coming for you.
I am coming for you.
