Camouflage vs. Cardigans

I'm having a séance all alone
Send me a sign
Move the key
Move the string
Move anything
I'm glad to have made it this far
I've been kicked down before
In the dirt
Full of grace
I look back to my younger self
I'm trying to tell you
It will be alright
When you were hurt
Full of fright
With your head hung in shame
I was weak
Did not want to be

If only you
Could have a conversation
With the future me
For there is strength
In our weaknesses
I would say it's OK
Love will find you
In a girl
Who understands
Ya, it's OK
To look up
To the sky
Your heart can sing
Just talk back to me
Are you there?
Spell my name
On this witch board

Angela, I have to go

The street lamp flickers
Messages from a friend
You left last September
Magic never ends
The last time we met
Summer under the bridge
In your school uniform
No need to promise anything
Filled you with my breath
Is there ever anything
To think about
When we let go of string
Look up into clouds
Until you no longer
Can be seen
You'll be a shadow
To greet me
Some dark evening
Turning a corner
You'll be a memory
Of your glowing face
When we talked on your porch
Until I realized
It was growing late

On the way home
The street lamps
Were already on

Summer's last sigh

Somewhere there are open doors
Branches swaying into view
From a garden from where you spy
It's inviting and quite bright
Mediterranean breeze
Brings the laughter of
A circle of friends in the night
You would like to say hi to

Strumming guitars are alchemy
Filling you with imagination
Closing eyes to take it in
Dolphin swimming close to shore
Carrying you beyond fields of stars
Away from this sad song
If only you knew the words
You would sing along

Katydid, Sing!

We met at midnight
You waited with
Two monsters at your side
Under the branches
Your eyes stealing glimmer
From the stars
Swaying bodies as gentle
Blades of grass in breeze
The worlds growing around you
Under chorus of electric hum
Sharing your secrets and smiles

Faerie Mary

With goblin eyes
You saw through my darkness
Becoming a halo in clouds
Dancing around moon
When lies hid in shadows
You held my hand
Walking me through
You understood my need
In the comfort of words
Teaching me spells
That break curses
