"See how the child reaches out instinctively To feel how fire will feel. See how the man reaches out instinctively For what he cannot have. The pull and the push of it all."

"Is this love big enough to watch over me? Big enough to let go of me Without hurting me, Like the day I learned to swim?"

"This love was big enough for the both of us. This love of yours was big enough to be frightened of. It's deep and dark, like the water was, The day I learned to swim."

"Just like a feeling that you're sending out, I pick it up. But I can't let you go. If I let you go, You slip into the fog..."

"Just like a photograph, I pick you up. Just like a station on the radio, I pick you up."

"You might not, not think so now, But just you wait and see — someone will come to help you."

"We're building a house of the future together. (What would we do without you?)"

"We could be like two strings beating, Speaking in sympathy..."

"If you can't tell your sister, If you can't tell a priest, 'Cause it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it To anyone, Can you tell it to your heart? Can you find it in your heart To let go of these feelings..."

"Take away the love and the anger, And a little piece of hope holding us together. Looking for a moment that'll never happen, Living in the gap between past and future. Take away the stone and the timber, And a little piece of rope won't hold it together."

"It lay buried here. It lay deep inside me. It's so deep I don't think that I can speak about it. It could take me all of my life, But it would only take a moment to Tell you what I'm feeling, But I don't know if I'm ready yet."

"I said, mmh... yes, But not yet, mmh... yes, Mmh... Yes."

"Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world. And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech..."

"You don't need words — just one kiss, then another."

"Do I look for those millionaires Like a Machiavellian girl would When I could wear the sunset?"

"He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes, But now I've powers o'er a woman's body, yes. Stepping out of the page into the sensual world. Stepping out... To where the water and the earth caress And the down on a peach says mmh, Yes..."

"I'll kiss the ground. I'll tell my mother, I'll tell my father, I'll tell my loved one, I'll tell my brothers How much I love them."

"The light Begin to bleed, Begin to breathe, Begin to speak. D'you know what? I love you better now."

"I was there at the birth, Out of the cloudburst, The head of the tempest. Murderer! Murder of calm..."

"Watching storms Start to form Over America. Can't do anything. Just watch them swing With the wind Out to sea."

"Can't you see where memories are kept bright? Tripping on the water like a laughing girl. Time in her eyes is spawning past life, One with the ocean and the woman unfurled, Holding all the love that waits for you here. Catch us now for I am your future. A kiss on the wind and we'll make the land. Come over here to where When lingers, Waiting in this empty world, Waiting for Then, when the lifespray cools. For Now does ride in on the curl of the wave, And you will dance with me in the sunlit pools. We are of the going water and the gone. We are of water in the holy land of water And all that's to come runs in With the thrust on the strand."

""This moment in time," (She said.) It doesn't belong to you," (She said,) It belongs to me, And your little boy and your little girl, And the one hand clapping: Where on your palm is my little line, When you're written in mine As an old memory?"

"Never, never say goodbye To my part of your life."

"I'll be sitting in your mirror. Now is the place where the crossroads meet. Will you look into the future?"

"I should have been home Hours ago, But I'm not here. But I'm not here..."

"You can't hear me. You can't hear me. You can't hear what I'm saying. You can't hear what I'm saying to you."

"Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!"

"What say you, good people? "Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!" Help this blackbird..."

"I question your innocence! Help this blackbird! She's a witch! There's a stone around my leg."

"Don't you know you've kept him waiting?" "Look who's here to see you!"

"Wake up!...You must wake up!"

"There's something moving Under, under the ice, Moving under ice, Through water, Trying to get out of the cold water. "It's me." Something, someone — help them. "It's me.""

"Ooh, their breath is warm And they smell like sleep, And they say they take me home. Like poppies heavy with seed They take me deeper and deeper."

"If they find me racing white horses, They'll not take me for a buoy. Let me be weak, Let me sleep And dream of sheep."

"Little light shining, Little light will guide them to me. My face is all lit up, My face is all lit up."

"I hid my yo-yo In the garden. I can't hide you From the government. Oh, God, Daddy — I won't forget..."

"On top of the world, Looking over the edge, You could see them coming. You looked too small In their big, black car, To be a threat to the men in power."

"I just know that something good is going to happen. I don't know when, But just saying it could even make it happen."

"I still dream of Orgonon. I wake up crying. You're making rain, And you're just in reach, When you and sleep escape me."

"Mother stands for comfort. Mother will hide the murderer. Mother hides the madman. Mother will stay mum."

"Am I the cat that takes the bird? To her the hunted, not the hunter."

"She knows that I've been doing something wrong, But she won't say anything."

"This cloud, this cloud — Says "Noah, C'mon and build me an Ark." And if you're coming, jump, 'Cause We're leaving with the Big Sky."

"You never really understood me. You never really tried."

"They look down At the ground, Missing. But I never go in now. I'm looking at the Big Sky."

"Do you know what I really need? I need love love love love love, yeah!"

"I found a fox Caught by dogs. He let me take him in my hands. His little heart, It beats so fast, And I'm ashamed of running away From nothing real — I just can't deal with this, But I'm still afraid to be there, Among your hounds of love..."

"It's in the trees! It's coming!"
