THE DITCH BECAME ABYSS:
Collaboration with Tim Smith
When I was here
All the music sang lalala
I only saw your eyes
When you were here
All the words read you you you
and all made sense
When we were here
In a different life, the river flowed
rippling love around us
Now without a we
No longer captured in a breeze
The ditch became abyss
Now without you here
All my days are blue blue blue
and my senses darken too
Now without me here
my head is spinning round round round
no longer seeing out clouded eyes

barn asked noble
where is the choucroute
as shukran every morning
at the bodega
to send the children
on their way to school
and clean their eyes
from a single tear
looking at your pawn pom
bring an apple to the teacher
and leave the banana to me
as a great one we are honor
sung harry bringing the ginsberg
on the welcome mat for an owl
of the music must continue
all in your hands from now on
lalala the silence and ready for the roar
of an art to be me
each step that i take i will be your every bounty
every move that i make i will always be there for thy
you drive me crazy when u ask when u call on me let me be me baby
oo
i never want u to say goodbye you make the rainbows and u make me smile
just wana live like the birds and bees baby i cant love you if set me free
lalalala set me free
each moment with you i need someone to hold on too
but i need u to knw i cant love you if u cant let go
youif u aask if u call on me let me be me baby ooooo
set me fre st me free yea
lalala la
lalala
Lalala is love
Musical, melodious ~
Language from lips
Flowing from faith
Lalala is love
Lifting, leaping, landing
Lofty, languishing, longing
Lalala is love
Luring, loaded, lamenting
Light, luscious, leering
Lalala is love
Lingering, lovely, lending
Loosening, lapping, lessening
Lalala is love
Lovers, lessons, lasting
Laughing, looping, loving
Lifting, leaping, landing
Limitless
Musical, melodious ~
Language from lips
Flowing from faith
Lalala is love
Deep in my mind
It stopped
Beating
Faster then ever
For you
Its winter
Im still melting
For you
Deep in my mind
It stopped
Still thinking
YOU.
Not moving
But spinning
Deep in my mind
It stopped
For you
