“Silhouette”

Runnin’ ‘round this shadow town,
Her wheels are in the gutter,
Lost without a rudder, thoughts of black & white & right & wrong.
Still, I don’t know what she thinks of me
Or anybody else,
Deflecting from herself hides an obsession to belong.

Dreaming life is perfect,
Lounging by the sea,
No accountability for all the damage that she’s done.
She jettisons her memories,
Heartaches from her passage,
Abandoning her baggage makes it easier to run.
She’ll hold your hand up to the candle just to hide the flame.

Chorus: She don’t want nobody to forget
She sees her life in silhouette.
No hazy lines, her palette’s set.
There are no shades of grey in silhouette.

She tells herself it’s all for real
In her pinup masquerade,
Drinking lemonade, too much sugar in the mix.
Filling beds with promises,
Whispers in the dark,
She wraps herself in sparks and feathers just to get her fix.
The flash and fire of desire will crumble in your hands.

Chorus

Ahh-Ahh-Ahhhhhh Ahh-Ahh-Ahhhhhh

Sometimes when the day is done
She’ll slip into a bath
To wash away the ash, of her lies and noise for all her boys.
And though her misty mirror shows
A flawless female form,
It won’t reflect her torn and tattered drama she employs.
Rehearsed behind the curtain line, but never takes the stage.

Chorus x 2
In silhouette,
In silhouette,
In silhouette.

“Halo”

Staring into the sky… searching the stars.
I wonder if you’re there… which one you are.
Though the clouds and the rain… block out their light.
I feel you close in the day. I miss you most in the night.

Chorus: When I think you’re slipping away.
That sweet harmony plays,
Like a bird up over the sea,
You’re my halo… circling me.

Lives are like pages… blown in the breeze.
Written with bitter… and sweet memories.
I remember September, November, December comin’ on,
Winter winds at my door… whisper you’re gone.

Chorus

I miss the love where we lingered (under China blue skies),
Slippin’ through our fingers (lookin’ in your eyes).
Remembering our past (hearts forever entwined)
Makin’ our love last
Every single second,
Every single second
Every single second through time…through time…through time.

Staring into the sky… searching the stars.
I wonder if you’re there… which one you are.
Though the clouds and the rain… block out their light.
I feel you close in the day. I miss you most in the night.

Chorus
Me. Mmmm-hmmm.

“You Reap What You Sow”

Mourning Dove on the windowsill,
Gone the summer Whip-poor-will.
Falling snow on the pines today.
Sea smoke on the bay.

Cordwood stacked up high and dry.
Wood stove loaded, burning bright.
Mackinaw by the coffin door.
I don’t need you anymore.

Pre-chorus: Ployes in my skillet, plow on my truck.
For all I care, you can go…
Yourself into a distant memory.

Chorus: You get whatcha reap,
Reap whatcha sow.
Honey, it musta been quite a blow
When your karma come 'round and finally let you know
You reap what you sow.

You’re the red dawn I adored.
One small taste, I wanted more.
Angel breath and perfect storm,
Halo ‘round your horns.

Rocked me like a thunder hole.
Left me shipwrecked on the shoal.
Rising winds and falling tide,
Hit the gas, never said goodbye.

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Your friends tell me that you got it bad. (you got it bad)
You never realized just what you had. (just what you had)
I'm here to tell you that this much is true.
Things you do and say have a funny way of coming back to you.

Melting ice and crocus blooms,
Drinking gourd and Flower Moon.
Turn your love into the ground
Celebrate the lost and found.

I got ployes in my skillet, plow on my truck.
For all I care, you can go…
Yourself into a distant memory.
Yeah, a distant memory.

Well, you get whatcha reap,
Reap whatcha sow.
Honey, it musta been quite a blow
When your karma come 'round and finally let you know.

Yeah, ya get whatcha reap,
Reap whatcha sow.
Honey, it musta been quite a blow
When your karma come 'round and finally let you know
You reap what you sow.
You reap what you sow.
You reap what you sow.
