bring me a sweet melody
the songs we used to sing
when we had sweet harmony
before they sifted to deep
they talk at the shows
outside they smoke
they don't love the songs
streets that they pave
scars that they make
they don't love these lands
bring me a sweet memory
pre-false-technology
find us a nice shady tree
sing how things might-could-should be

oh you hop hide under that tree
why must you fear me?
there's a snow storm coming our way
i hope or so i pray
you'd best get in from that storm
you'd best try to keep warm
there's coffee in the house
coffee fresh and now
pour a cup for me
watch leaves yellow
i'll sing for you
while we dream of snow
little bird high up in that tree
would you sing a song with me?
there's a snow storm coming our way
i hope or so i pray

can you break this?

|

a beggar in the streets
he asks for food to eat
even dime to spare
i walk on still as if i never cared
oh Lord change my heart
you gotta break it so far apart
i'm getting old
yet my heart is cold
can you break this?

oh! you pretty deer
04:25
|
|||
as i sit i wish i was not here
somewhere else i'd sit and watch prancing deer
what's that out the window i see?
glisten of snow behind the big old tree
oh you pretty deer
what drives your fears?
oh you pretty deer
we got so near

a song about ants
02:09
|

when we were young
we would play with ants
make them crawl on sticks
they rode on just like boats
crawled on sticks that float
and they rode like boats
they sailed some distant streams, distant streams
mother told me don't torment the ants
they work hard
they work very hard

coffee's tasting great today
brewed in such a special way
pour a cup here while i read
feel the fresh air that we breathe
that we?
coffee tasted great then
but we made it spill when
chores caught up with the fun
records spinning 'round were
grand before the sad turn
spilled coffee now it's gone
so where's the coffee what'd you say?
could it be a pleasant day?
spilled the coffee oh you say
my dismay
laundry and the bills they
they don't make it okay
spilled coffee got me down
quite a clumsy spilla
so grab a mop there will ya?
and wipe this mess up from the ground

sing a song with me can you sing?
can you sing?
i miss the winter like i miss the spring
so long spring
as school kids pack the bus outside no more july
so long july
as times like this fly by fly by fly by fly by
i'm watching spiders crawl
on this old blank white wall
i think about her every now and then
now and then
but like before again she's with new friend
he's her new friend
now my brother with his wife
a happy family life
my sister's job she found
our parents she makes proud
i'm watching spiders crawl
i watch the spiders crawl
on this old blank white wall
it's still a blank white wall
sing a song with me can you sing?
can you sing?
i miss the winter like i miss the spring
so long spring

the scar that they made

i'm reminded every single day
i look out the window and see
and see the scar that they made
how i miss thee
i miss thee
old tree
