lyrics by Kathryn Merriam.
I watched on as another
laid these hands above my eyes
I told another story inside
I long to be alone
There's things I'll never know
but the door is slowly opening
to a world I had never seen
Every leaf is a miracle of creation
Every seed grows into the perfect plant
Will you dance with your whole body
without giving a damn?
Forgetting everything they said
about how to be, or who to be,
Remember the child who knows how to breathe
Breathe
I can watch these thoughts
like an actor reads his lines
and decide what to keep
learning how to sink deeper every time
This isn't mine, this body that I see
This is the time to live how we believe
life can be
What keeps you from living free?

ALWAYS MAKE THE MISTAKE
(Graydon James)
capo III
intro: G(d) Gsus4 G(b)
verse: G C G x2 Em C G C G C G
chorus: C Em D G C Em D D7
there's a river i see from my room
that calls a young man to his doom
& if he hangs his head he's gone too soon
oh youth does not make you immune
the past is not burdened with proof
like the films i recall from my youth
& a young man dressed in his father's suit
i can make a lie from the hardest truth
[chorus]
& i always make the mistake oh i
always make the mistake
you were drawn to the clouds in his eyes
lord knows what you saw in mine
a promise we could compromise
oh love is a foolish prize
we could claim a great many things
you were the song that i needed to sing
the truth was you always wore his ring
& we were only borrowing
[chorus]
there's a river i see from my room
& i will walk through the pale afternoon
& the birds still sing, i recall the tune
perhaps i will see you soon...
perhaps i will see you soon.
