Now I See the Birds
04:29

Rubbing smudges from my eyes
Now things are falling into focus
It's only now I realise
How much I let go by unnoticed
But now, now I see the birds
But somehow I was missing something
A little too self-involved I guess
'Cause I always made a point of looking
But I was too focussed on the emptiness
But now, now I see the space
Now I see the light
Living in a world of pure imagination
As if I were condemned to dream
But I've begun to see that magic
Ain't nearly as unreal as in might seem
'Cause now, now I see the birds
And I wonder how one comes to see the things they couldn't see before
I was blind but now I see the beauty that I never truly saw
And so, not another moment wasted
Oh, not another moment more

Chasing the Moon
03:15

Don't follow the moon
For the moon's moving always
Find a point upon the farthest horizon
And there fix your gaze
Should you choose to wander
Don't be mislead
For I've seen the dreamers high on the rocks
Keep an eye fixed dead ahead
You might say I've been lucky in life
For I'm growing old
With the peace of mind when I go to my bed
That I'll never go hungry or cold
There are those who go looking for luck
And it's them misfortune will find
For you might say you're a dreamer
But, it's the dreamers that get left behind
Well I guess I'm a dreamer
What can you do?
But there's something beyond the both of us
Though it may mean little to you
There are things words just cannot express
And for these I'll offer a tune
And I'll do my best to keep an eye
But I guess I'm chasing the moon
Yes I
Guess I
Yes I'm chasing the moon

Upon My Plate
02:58

Please don't put your rind upon my plate
You wanna chew the fat that's fine
I'll chew yours, you chew mine
Let's create a little clarity in mind
But please, don't point that thing at me
Don't wave it in my face
Coming in here, stinking out the place
Laying all the good to waste
I know you feel bad
And that don't feel good
But, I reckon if we only tried it could
But, it's suffocating don't you know?
This heavy feeling in the air
It ain't your fault, and it's not fair
Just try and be a little more aware
That this just makes me feel bad and that don't feel good
I reckon if we only tried it could
If I can't make it better for you, well
That's too bad
But, please don't put your rind upon my plate
I got things to do
Got shit I'm going through
Ain't we all got fat to chew
'Cause we all feel things
And they can feel strange
But, the way you're going nothing's gonna change
If I can't make it better for you, well
That's too bad
But, please don't put your rind upon my plate

I'm No Good
04:30

You'd be forgiven for asking what the hell it is I'm here for
The last time I stood here you wouldn't let me through the door
'Cause I already said, you already know
We already did this a long time ago
Deep down I know I still ain't got what you need
It's bad but I've tried, and trust me, with all of my might
I don't mind sleeping alone, but not every night
See, I'm feeling selfish, and why not?
I do good what do I got?
Well clearly, I really ain't got the thing you need
But, whatever you want, know it's a yes from me
I know it's bad, but I'm gonna say whatever you want me to say
Why let a thing like integrity stand in my way
Perhaps I'll be honest tomorrow, but as for today
It's a yes, so long as you let me stay
It's a yes, just don't turn me away
Yes I know, I know
Understand that I know
I know it's bad but, maybe I'm no good
If it's bad, well, maybe I'm no good
Yes it's bad but maybe I'm no good
Yes it's bad but baby, I'm no good.

As a boy I always knew
Not that I ever knew why
Something would bring me back here again
If ever I chose to fly
As a younger man I soon understood
That someday I'd be on my way
But even then I knew, somehow
I'd be back around someday
For home is wherever the heart is
And so mine remains
In time, I felt the wind rise
As it blew for the East from the West
Glad to be going I climbed on the breeze
With barely an ache in my chest
So the years flew & I seldom returned
But did so whenever I could
Turning to leave, I'd long for the day
That I might return for good
For home is wherever the heart is
And so mine remains
So as the man that I must be now
With the wisdom of just a few years
It's funny, I think of such innocence now
How it fades as maturity nears
And it's only now that I realise
How might I ever have known?
That someday this tree will keel over
And I'll have to find my own
Somewhere to call home
I know
Someday, now, I
I know
Someday; now I know
