Winterling, du musst singen
Für dein Abendbrot
Kahl und rau
Nicht für lau
Wann das Frühjahr sich erbot
Winterling, sein Lied anfing
Ende Februar
Brechend voll
Seine Knolle anschwoll
Aus der Winterstarre
Der Winterling im Vorfrühling
Sein Leben vergänglich
Unterschätzt, man liebt zuletzt
Was so anfänglich ist
Niemand‘s Liebling, der Winterling
Das Gold von Grau im Frühjahr
Das Gold von Grau so schön

On the water
I've been waiting
On the water
Anticipating
March 4th
Water's frozen
Hear it cracking
On the water
I've been waiting
March 4th
On the water
Here I'm standing
But it's time to
Start moving
March 4th
On the water
Hear it cracking
Now it's time to
Start moving
March 4th
March!

April 5th
It's too early to plan a picnic
If you wish, with these 2 lips I will thee kiss instead
April 6th
It's much too soon to go swimming
But if it's your thing, with these 2 lips I'll for thee sing instead
Rains and it rains and it rains and it rains
Your best laid plans to have a party
Rains and it rains and it rains and it rains
Yeah April's here, but spring is tardy
April 7th
There's no ice-cream at 11 degrees, you see
But your 2 lips are sweet heaven to me
April 8th
It's much too late to ice-skate on a lake
But if it breaks, with these 2 lips I'll thee resuscitate
(Chorus)
April 9th
I'll kiss you where the sun don't shine-eth
And on the 10th
For your 2 lips, I'd for thee die-eth
(Chorus)

Rain (Sing Along)
05:40
|

|
Cumulus shapes may cloud the way
Or sunlight break through billowed lace
at dawn
The wick exists without the flame
a pale braid
But no one's warmed by wick alone
so sing along...
The thunder's edge is a baby's sigh
The earthquake's border is a flower bed
One hand alone can't clap along
so sing along...
The rain doesn't discriminate
Your steps ellipses...
dot, dot, dot
Walk along, walk along
Your portable kisses
unbridled
Sing along, sing along
Your lips must part to make a word
Your feet must part to take a step
forward
But they'll reunite from time to
time
(Chorus)

Fare Thee Well

Fare thee well my old man's bones
For he has gone to sea
He's gone so far, he's crossed the bar
Ne'er return will he
Won't linger in my old man's home
For life occurs to me
But one of these days, with goodness and grace
Be once again with he
Fare thee well my old man's bones
For he has gone away
He's gone before we closed the door
And I here will not stay
Now ash and bone are all that's left
As a summary
The bridges he burned, the peaks for which he yearned
Of these he had many
Fare thee well my old man's heart
Your rhythm still beats in me
Whose goodness I behold, whose wickedness I do loathe
The battle still raging in me
Fare thee well my old man's bones
O where do I find thee?
In heaven or hell?
In the rolling of the swells?
I'll never stop looking for thee.
In heaven or hell,
In the rolls of the swells,
Be once again with he.

Black Cherries
03:52
|
|||
|
On the eve of a late, late May
Once the light is in control
And the night's but a sweet, black cherry
It's no problem letting go
When the rain has come and gone
And the trunks are packed
And the greens are uniform
In the vernal slack
Swallowed by the sight
Replenished the well in me
Likened to the night
The sight of a black cherry
Hips sway like a pendulum
Your belly bare
Appoggiatura Cherries
Embellished pairs
Night pressed to your lips
You break with rain
Sugar bleeds water
Black cherries stain

Springtime Won't Last

Springtime won't last
Everyone knows
One of these years will be your last
But when it's here
Abandon that fear
Praise it and cheer, it's now and here!
Forget the time, but don't let the rime upon your hair
The fruit of doubt is but a blossom in your ear
Now you've got time
Open your eyes
Iridescent and surprised
As a pearl plucked out of the oyster shell
Forget the past, but not how to cast on wool to wear
The fruit of doubt is now a blossom in your hair
Now you've got time, It's springtime
Forget the lines I sing but not their meaning
The fruit of doubt grows thicker in the air
And then it's time
To go...
(It's not like you can stop the march of time, oh no
I hope you have some spring time awaiting you, I do)
Springtime won't last
Everyone knows
Forget these words and
Go, go, go

skiing Berlin, Germany
All beneath the moon will fade
The moon itself will move away
All that in this world that's
bought
Now or then returns to nought
In Time...
