Backstage with the modern dancers
She was stretching her
Configuring her body
While they were breathing, they were shouting
She was concentrating on her breathing
And didn't seem to mind
As I sat on the couch
And tuned my guitar

Well the ropes are taut
And the stories have all been caught
There's a frost-cover drawn on the shore
And the catcher still seems to want more

Through the real and through the unreal
Not what you see but what you feel
And what transpires here

You look at me with uncertainty,
You look at me with urgency.
You look at me with fear in your eyes
like you're about to fall away.

But don't be afraid to change your colours now.
I've known you all Summer, and you rose above it all. I see you hesitate to fall now,

This was the centre of the world for me once
Where I saw "I love you" all over the place
And that was where the Stones played once
And these are the bricks that shattered my heart

This is the place where I felt
LIke the world's tallest self-supporting tower
At least for a little while anyway

F# E
What sort of pressure and what kind of force
F# E
must there have been to drive you here?
F# E
Was it uplifting or was it deformed?
F# E
Faulting and rifting, you folded.

Take all the boxes wrapped up for almost a year
Let's have a party and all get together here
Dance up a storm underneath all the glitter and snow
Lookin' so good hangin' out with the mistletoe
Hang a string of lights
Hang another string of lights
Hang a string of lights
Watch 'em light up and light up

Why are we fighting, why are we fighting?
Kicking and screaming, scratching and biting.
Keeping it going, wherever we're going.
Generations are generating,
And what am I supposed to do
But take good care, good care of you?
We have a lot of work to do,
Me and you, and you, and you.

I became awake,
From a very dark place, a patchwork of fear, of poorly conceived ideas.
With a blister of water, the mark of working hands,
Ready to catch, or cut.
The senses aligned, the animal urgency, and voices picked up,
Flowing over the static, late, quiet.

I became awake.

It goes on forever along the shoreline
It never will end on the shores of my mind
I travel along‘til the sleep takes me in
Where have I ended, where do I begin?

Sand blankets are littered with stones whipped across
Dead things in the water, forgotten or lost
The branches have surfaced and now they are lean

Lyrics to I Saw You In The Wild :
I saw you in the wild
i saw you in the wild
i saw you in the wild
i knew you in the wild

you were nervous, you were furious
you were very sure-footed

When the sun fell down and fell asleep
drunk from drinking all the heat
it made a splash onto the sky
the stars stayed up 'til morning

when the sun fell down and fell asleep
drunk from drinking all the heat
it made a splash onto the sky

Merge, a vessel, a harbour
A perfect union
Of gift and reception
Each an eye
On the same face

Loss and gain
Fly into the mouth of the ground

Oh wake me please when this is over
Oh when the ice is melted away
And the hunger returns
I will feel the same but older
And I'll be twice the man that I thought I was

Where have you been?
And what have you done?

You see by the lines on my hands
I've been carrying a heavy load
You follow them across my palms
Where they run like roads

Won't you come
And read the future, turn it on?
Won't you tell me how

Pulling on a line – Great Lake Swimmers
The line runs through like a train in a book
Or metres underwater, ending with a hook
It sways in the air when there's
wind enough to lift,
The fine ones are boundaries when
There is a rift

The echo to your yell
The ripple to your dive
The currents under your wave

Electricity
Flows through me
I send it out to you
We were charged

is this place shaking, or is it me?
what can "i feel" mean without you?
and everything become more true
the more that i believe in you
stealing tomorrow

i don't care what you think
gonna take it away

I'm still turning myself to the great key, I'm still, I'm still
I'm still mining for light in dark wells, I'm still, I'm still
I'm still a frequency swaying, a leaf in the wind, I'm still, I'm still
I'm still searching for whispers in between yells, I'm still, I'm still

I'm still swimming in harmony, I'm still dreaming of flight
I'm still lost in the waves, night after night

In from the oceans they came
Vision of shirt and a name
But these lands they are wild
And these hands they are tame

Don't forget your own
Wilderness wish; it gets burried in snow
Call it home

I was lost in the lakes
And the shapes that your body makes
That your body makes, that your body makes
That your body makes

The mountains said I could find you here
They whispered the snow and the leaves in my ear
I traced my finger along your trails
