DOMINOES

I’m writing and sending off in the envelope

Saying we could be as tight as buttons in their buttonholes

And you’ll know you’ve been stung

And I’ll know, and I’ll know there’s no antidote

There’s no antidote, there’s no antidote

 

When I come around holding the mistletoe

And carrying a fear, you’ll tell me to let it go

You’ll know I was sent to fall for you

And we’ll fall, fall like dominoes

Fall like dominoes, fall like dominoes

 

Sure as the earth turns slow

And while it’s warm wind blows

People like us fall like dominoes

 

Ocean and air and laughter for our medicine

When we’re set adrift in the lifeboat that we jettisoned

Out on the rolling sea

Just like two shipwrecked and fallen seraphim

Like two shipwrecked and fallen seraphim

 

Sure as the earth turns slow

And while it’s warm wind blows

People like us fall like dominoes

 

We won’t have the cause to distrust our appetities

We’ll be out of reach like two roguish satellites

When we’re powered down and drifting

And drifting into the starry night

Into the starry night, into the starry night

 

Sure as the earth turns slow

And while it’s warm wind blows

People like us fall like dominoes

ALL SOULS DAY

Rain falls, shadows play

Night lays a blanket over night time ways

Through the darkness I’ll make my way

Until the sun lights a fire over All Souls Day

 

Morning release the tiny bird

To fly out to the frontier of my world

First is missing, second’s gone, now third

Morning release another bird

 

Joy hides every night

when you’re laying with a phantom and you're holding tight

if ever is prison not a piercing light

waiting won’t relieve it but loving might

 

Morning release the tiny bird

To fly out to the frontier of my world

First is missing, second’s gone, now third

Morning release another bird

 

She said I am the dusken light and I’m calling you out

Dowser of the fire and the seed of your doubt

Let loose all the love that you’re dreaming about

SUPERMAN, WONDERGIRL

Crossing the cool night endlessly

Pause in your dreaming and wait there for me

Small talk with the wind and ride high on the foam

We’re traveling on though we’re always at home

 

Superman, Wondergirl

Hold out for love while you’re diving for pearls

 

We’ll speed over fields just to vanquish the trolls

The light from the moon will be food for our souls

It’s perfectly fine if you fall way behind

There’s no front and no back and the future is blind

 

Superman, Wondergirl

Hold out for love while you’re diving for pearls

 

The void becomes earth and the void becomes sky

We’re joined at the navel with superfine ties

 

Bow low to the sun, the dawn whispers say

You’ll always be warmed by unbreakable day

 

Superman, Wondergirl

Hold out for love while you’re diving for pearls
