I stand alone, above the Hills as the sun kisses the sky feel it's warmth on my face the wind softly sighs I look down it touches the land reaching out my own two hands as the light reaches my eyes I am here, rooted to earth The wind caresses my skin Brings me out of slumber I'm ready for the day to begin It sings the song of the pines As they sway keeping time The deeper meaning from within It sings AHHHHOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH The wind it calls to me AHHHHOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH I will do my best to sing In perfect harmony Lift my voice to join the call Singing tirelessly And as I sing with the birds I know that I'll forget the words But we will rise in unity and sing AHHHHOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH The wind it calls to me AHHHHOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH blowing through the trees AHHHHOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH The wind it calls to me AHHHHOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH

Hear the church bells a-ringing Hear the pounding of the rain Feel the coldness of water Running down your face Hear the static of footsteps Slowly crushing autumn leaves A forest in the night time Listen and it sings Misty mountains and moonlight And the howling of the fates Smell the moss, the cold decay Ain’t got long to wait Smell sweetness of cedar The trees fly with barren wings The forest in the night time Listen and it sings Say you love me, say my name Say anything you want And I’ll love you just the same Stop your struggling, it’s okay Never will know pleasure Without tasting all my pain Feel the blessing of kisses Carved your name in ancient trees Wanted to know your mind, girl I’ll bring flowers in the Spring Paid you a little visit Even gave you golden rings The forest in night time Listen and it sings The moon went through it’s phases Looks like it’s my time again I hear the bells of solstice My satisfaction, it wanes

Peace love it’s about that time Strait up flash the warning sign Army marching on the attack, time to take our moment back All that power how can we win? Get involved bring a friend or 10! Can’t ignore us any longer, raise your voices getting stronger Make a big noise, make a big sound Wave ya hands feel the walls coming down If you hear me now Say oh Make a statement, take a stand We’re the future, best understand If you hear me now Say oh For the future, for the past For the ones who’ve been pushed to last Speaking truth to power, in the darkest hour All that power how can we win? Get involved bring a friend or 10! Can’t ignore us any longer, raise your voices getting stronger

i’m trying too hard not to try too hard the way i do you know it’s never been easy no it’s never been easy but i keep fumbling my way through hardest of all to keep an eye on the ball while keeping all these ducks in a row they keep moving and shufflin’ all their feathers keep rufflin’ i’m just here trying to go with the flow oh but you have a way like a farm cat stretched on a bale of hay soaking up the sun in the middle of the day warm to the touch cool as you please you carry it all with ease front door won’t close the way it should it let’s the chill air pass right thru seems like there’s always something something that needs fixing there’s always one more thing to do i hear the old clock tick tock tick tock minutes turn into hours turn into days i watch the years go by in the blink of an eye i know i’ll never be able to keep that pace oh but you have a way like a farm cat stretched on a bale of hay soaking up the sun in the middle of the day warm to the ouch cool as you please you carry it all with ease solo chorus

C. F. The seamstress’s clothes always need C mending C. G The bartender’s glass is never full C. F The piano tuners’s tuners always stay on the C road Am. G. F sounds at home wane as stories get told C. F. C The calendar flips like a young man in trouble C. G Faster than air escapes beneath the rubble C. F. C And birds fly south but stay closer each year Am. G. F As denial goes viral in twisted cheer F. Am. G we are the wanderers lost in our daze F. Am. G The list grows longer in passing days F. F—-G——-Am. G Too caught up in catch up to plead any case F. C FC AmFG Till the end comes to put us into our place C. F So let toes poke holes in our socks Am. G. F And let me meet my Maker’s on the rocks F. Am forever may the strings light us up and bring G us down F. G. Am (x4) perpetual pursuit of sound

[Complete placeholder lyrics!] Breathe your name Pray for rain
turn your winds to dust Share your blame Brace your pain Shoulder all you must If you remember, as you might Colors and signals flash the night Always and nothing to redeem And when you discover, in the stream Just the dimensions of a dream Echoes on echoes in the light

v1: The music on my radio is shiny & bright But not the kind of songs that get you through a long, hard night Sometimes I stop and wonder who they're making it for But someone must be listening 'cause they keep making more ch: I'm not the one To tell you how to think, to tell you how to feel I know it's all for fun But even the tambourines, they don't sound real v2: Where's Tracy Partridge when you need her, can't you come to our rescue? She's been replaced by a computer, so what's a girl to do We all know the story, but few understand Sometimes the jingle-jangle is the backbone of the band ch: I'm not the one To tell you how to think, to tell you how to feel I know it's all for fun But even the tambourines, they don't sound real

about

This week’s assignment is from Corky, and it’s a bit mysterious. I’ve asked for further clarification, but none is yet forthcoming. So, as Mitchell says that I say … “cultivate the mystery”!

“Write a song that describes a sound that is heard somewhere in the lyric.”
