THE DOGWOODS The dogwoods all are blooming everywhere they grow But thunderheads are looming everywhere you go Reminds me of the blizzard the winter you were born And since then little sister you never could stay warm I hear your voice is quaking through the static on the line I hear the troubled truths you speak I know how they’ve hung above you for a long, long time You and I we don’t believe in some great master plan Someone who’ll fix it perfectly if we just fold our hands But I believe in people, and I believe in you I’ve watched you fight this darkness you’re a warrior it’s true And just beyond those heavy clouds I know you’re gonna find A sky as blue as all the hope that’s pooling in those eyes I believe that summer's comin’ I believe that summer's comin’ And I believe that you’ll find summer too The dogwoods all are blooming the bees are on the case In a sunny seaside village where you finally found some space I believe that summer's comin’ I believe that summer's comin’ And I believe that you’ll find summer too I believe that summer's comin’ I believe that summer's comin’ And I believe that summer’s comin’ soon I believe it just has to ALL EYES ON ME Well the big one’s comin, we heard it in the mornin’ news Everybody circlin’ round me now, askin’ what we’re gonna do All eyes on me All eyes on me All the sharks are circlin’ round and round All eyes on me Oh my nearly beloved you have gathered to me once again Been seein’ on your faces for a while now that you’re anxious for a better plan I believe its in this envelope that I’m clutchin’ in my tremorin’ hand I’m gonna open up the message now and I’ll read it to you if I can All eyes on me All eyes on me I’m gonna got-to choke the message down All eyes on me Hold on to your drinks now This might send you reelin’ See the ceiling’s cavin’ in Crushed by secondhand feelings Jaws of life are crashing shut Sharpened teeth for the feeding “Some things just can’t be saved” These are the words I’m reading I’m gonna do a trick now A trick that you have never seen I’m gonna disappear now Become a cloud of steam Rise up to the rafters Ro settle there in the seams Some of it is gonna fall like dew, The rest will just float like cream A little for your coffee now, The remainder for your memories All eyes on me All eyes on me I’m gonna do a trick now All eyes on me I’m gonna disappear now All eyes on me HYMN OF THE EARLY RISER Alone on awakening Just me and a downpour The highways now all clean The driest of the wells All now recharging And the foxgloves thriving The sun could be out by noon And all of the promise And all the potential In sixteen hours What can you do? And all of the promise And all the potential In sixteen hours Make this world new Alone on awakening Just me and a landslide I am brought down again And each of worms of the earth Are lost on the pavement And the rainbows are all there too Imprisoned ‘til they’re summoned by the sun And all of the promise And all the potential Just sixteen hours What can I do? And all of the promise And all the potential Just sixteen hours Make myself new The highways now all clean Sun’ll be out by noon What else can I do? Make myself all new
