Transcendental Dogwoods
Barking in the sun
Keep it in mind while it's still in your head
A mountain stream
A trout or two
Me and you
But I need a place to stay now
The artist steals the pencils
From the troubadours and traitors
The cobwebs in the tinsel

I don't have to tell all about the how
These are things you know by now
I don't have to say the words you want to hear
Love and life and never fear

Dripping Diodora
Falling down the walls
Stealing the light
As you open your eyes
A world anew
Peace on earth
Skies are blue

But I need a place to lay low
Where the nightmares pay attention
As the darkness casts the shadows
While the daytime finds defenses

I don't have to tell all about the how
These are things you know by now
I don't have to say the words you wanna hear
Live and learn never fear

In beautiful obscurity
The moon still seems distressed
You say
First things are first but last things last

Abalone highway
Shining in the night
Straight to the sea by the light of the stars
A Mayan moon
An island breeze
Life's OK

But I'd really like to see you
If it ever seems a good time
But I need a place to go home
Where I can hear the ringing rhymes

I don't have to tell all about the how
These are things you know by now
I don't have to say the words you wanna hear
Live and learn and never fear

Live and learn never fear
