Ghost 03:43
It’s dark and I’m alone In lightly falling snow I’ve got nowhere to go This is a dead-end road I don’t try to hide my face Headlights, driveways I’m not even really here When you left I disappeared I guess I am a ghost I guess I am a ghost Yes, I tried to let you go I guess I am a ghost Up a head there’s a house I don’t know who lives there now I don’t want to know their names They don’t stop and I don’t wave A light comes on within I see you invite me in In my mind I hold you close Skin on skin, ghost on ghost Then it all begins to fade Then it all begins to fade And dissolves into space Then it all begins to fade

Moonstruck 02:36
Have you seen Heavenly Nights like this Where fireflies Are guiding lights Through the mist? Have you seen Everything Bright like this? The moon is so Beautiful Stubborn and sun-kissed I’m bug-eyed I’m tongue-tied I’m awake I’m star struck I’m in love Don’t trust what I say

Night Light 04:04
Stay with me Be my guide Light the way, keep at bay The shadows at my side It’s too dark without you It’s too hard to take But your light is so bright It makes it okay Stay with me I’m counting on you Shine your light, shine it bright Until the night / is through Moon, be my light Moon, be my night light Stay by my side Stay by my side tonight

Brushwolves 03:37
Do what you like You’ll feel alright For a little while Just for a little while Eat what you want Sleep through the dawn For a little while Just for a little while We are wolves waiting in the brush We are wolves We are wolves waiting for the dusk We are wolves Live for yourself There is no one else Be a little wild Just be a little wild We are wolves waiting in the brush We are wolves We are wolves waiting for the dusk We are wolves

The Garden 03:57
Beech tree Beech tree Teach me Teach me Willow Will you show? Black spruce I’m asking you No good thing that lives Ever comes with Instructions It just grows, it just grows Cosmos God knows God knows Cosmos Catnip That’s it Tulip tree You make it look easy No good thing that lives Ever comes with Instructions It just grows, it just grows I’m brainwashed by time spent in the garden I’m brainwashed by time spent in the garden I’m lost, I’m lost, I’m a Martian I’m brainwashed in the garden

Shimmer 02:38
The first time I felt afraid We were on a trip To the silver state My parents had left To photograph Patterns in the sand By the road near our camper van I said to my brother “They left us” He said, “It’s not like that They’ll be right back” And he was right They came right back And in a shimmering sheet My mother ran to me

I was drawn To a light on the lawn Pretty bug that shone Mesmerized and calm I held it in my palm Pretty bug that shone Sometime before dawn I woke to find it gone It stirred and flew on A light across the pond I had it in my palm I had it in my palm Pretty bug that shone Pretty bug that shone

I love you now Do you? I don’t know how Do you? You’re in a tree I’m on the ground Swoop down on me I won’t make a sound Dark-eyed owl You’re my dark-eyed owl Your starving heart growls My dark-eyed owl Eat me alive Put me inside I’m running fast Low through the weeds You’re on my back Tearing into me Dark-eyed owl You’re my dark-eyed owl Rip me apart and I won’t howl My dark-eyed owl Turn me to dust Do it for us

Driveway 03:48
All that separates this space from the street Is a thin strip of pavement and a few trees And inside of that line everything’s fine But outside it’s loud and I start to lose my mind I think I’ll stay on the driveway Where it’s safe on the driveway I’m a shallow shadow in the dark I’m the stranger that wakes your neighbor’s Dog who barks and barks It’s getting late on the driveway I’m just a shape on the driveway
