Xylophone Ways

Get it over here, would you honey
Hold it gently in your hands
Set it down here right in front of me
I wanna see you play it now
I wanna see you play it now
Don't even think of running out
I wanna see you play it now
Show me what I do is right
Don't change the music overnight.
Play a little tune for me, honey
Play it like it was when ... well, you know
Let it be a story - maybe happy
And when it's over, maybe I'll let you go
If you hold onto your xylophone ways
Hold on...
Don't even think of running out
I wanna see you play it now
Can it be so hard to remember
Even with a couple missing keys?
Everything you know I wrote for you
Can it be so hard one more time to show me?
Show me what I did was right
Don't change the music overnight.
Hold onto your xylophone ways...

I took your sister to a sundance
I took your sister to a show
On the way I ... on the way I
Caught a hazy violet glow.
Took my hand and led me walking
To a clearing in the trees
Then she smiled - I swear she smiled
I swear your sister smiled at me
She don't know better
Bury me in flowers, watch me drown
Anything would be better
Than these violets crashing down
Eyes that dance in the sunlight
Hit me kinda like a drug
I said, "Don't come near me". I said, "Don't come near me."
She said, "Can't you see we are in love?"
She don't know better
Bury me in flowers, watch me drown
Anything would be better
Than these violets crashing down
They say that eyesight is deceiving
I know I saw what I did see
And the proof is ... and the proof is
When your sister danced with me
Your sister danced with me
She don't know better
Bury me in flowers, watch me drown
Anything would be better
Than these violets crashing down
She don't know better
Bury me in flowers, watch me drown
Anything would be better
Than these violets crashing down
Ahhhh!
And the violets aren't making a sound...

Standin' There

Standin' on the other side of the bridge
Waving hello to you, say, "You gonna come over?"
Shake your head & wave back, all smiles
Isn't it just like you, say, "We're gonna meet halfway."
Now I don't like bridges as much as I like your hair
But if I had to make decisions, I'd leave you standin' there
I'd leave you standin' there.
Tight you are with your money and all
I don't know how I ever got into this
Every little thing is a tug of war
But you're so beautiful, I wanna move you this way
Now I don't like distance as much as I like your hair
But if you keep up this resistance, I'll leave you standin' there
I been thinkin' back to one of those days
Trying to keep myself away
You standin' there with those eyes on your face
Waiting, waiting, waiting for me looking like
You know I won't last
You think I'm coming on fast - coming on fast
You know I won't last
You think your love will break me down
How long you been around?
Understand I don't hate you
Once in a while I need to stand my ground
Chances are when the going gets lonely
Isn't just like me to simply go all the way?
Now I don't mind saying how much I like your hair
But if it's up to me giving in ...
You know I'll leave you standin' there
I'll leave you standin' there
Stand there

Away

I catch a vision in my mind, for a little time, then it's gone
I don't remember what it was or is, but I know it was good
I feel some restless skin sense, silence slides and tickles, touches
Can't remember who I thought of, if I cared, or if I should
But you are not here ... are not you, and when I need nothingness
You won't go away (sweet away)
I sleep in motion, sigh in sputters, breathe in boxes in a dream
Every night and every day
Soak the flicker from the satellite - gives me life
Gives me a way
I only need a little to show me I'm not crazy
Sometimes yesterday/tomorrow fits too twisted with today
But it is not here, is not so, and when I want nothing
I can't throw it away
Why do I do the things I do? Why do I feel the things I feel?
As I ask questions it's like shooting stars at walls
That make the sparks to start the fire, and stone by stone I am exposed
They fall ... they fall away
Too tender now to touch, I am a zeppelin near the sun
I need the shelter of a thousand clouds to hold me - hold me
Hold me somewhere close, so I can feel the way I wanna feel
So safe again
But it is not here, are not you, and when I push I push so far away
So when you come, you are to stay
And when you take, take me away
