Clear Heart
what goes around come around
that's what they say
but no one can tell me
what's coming my way
as I wait for the day
when my dreams will unfold
as I hold tight my heart
even as I must now let it go
you get what you give in life
that's what they say
but no one can tell me
the price I must pay
for a moment of freedom
for a day without fear
for that ounce of forgiveness
and the strength of a clear, clear heart
what goes around comes around
that's what they say
but no one can tell me
what's coming my way
as I look for an answer
or a grasp of the truth
I can see past the mirror
and the pain of my youth
I have looked deep inside
and I can now look at you
letting go of what's held me
have the joy of a clear, clear heart
a clear, clear heart
a clear, clear heart

Leave a Little Light
leave a little light in the window
I might be home
leave a little light by the back door too
leave a little light in the stairway up to your room
well I hope a little light is still shining in your eyes
when you think of me, when you think of me
if you still do
chorus:
leave a little light in the window
leave a little light in the window
leave a little light in the window
I might be home
well I did a lot of wandering
I did a lot of filling in
I did a lot of questioning why and where I should go
soon as I have got the strength
I'm heading for an open space
heading for a better place where I might find me
chorus
well I did a lot of wandering
I did a lot of filing in
I did a lot of questioning why and where I should go
as soon as I have got the strength
I'm heading for an open space
heading for a better place where you might find me
chorus
leave a little light in the window
I might be home
leave a little light by the back door too
leave a little light in the stairway up to your room
I hope a little light is still shining in your eyes
when you think of me, when you think of me
if you still do
chorus
I might be home
I might be home

The River
I'm looking in this river
at a face that I don't know
the current keeps distorting
whatever's trying to show through
and I'm trying hard to make it out
but nothing's coming clear
what am I supposed to see?
the image that this river gives
is one I've never seen
though I've walked along her banks before
it's like I've never been
and I'm seeing for the first time
she is calling me within
how am I supposed to go?
chorus:
I'm feeling like the current's getting stronger everyday
and I'm so afraid this river's going to carry me away
so I'm holding on to anything that might keep me from falling in
falling in
the river's face and mine
they are merging into one
the image seen more clearly
the closer that I come
to the current as she calls to me
to join her endless run
why is it so hard to go?
chorus x 2

Don't Go Home (Louise)
nobody better give her a gun
she's got blood on the brain
take it on the run
she's got scores to settle
don't we all?
pretty as pie and eager to please
you'd never know she'd been on her knees
no easy feat, she's six feet tall
this woman's got a fine life
she's a good housekeeper
and a perfect wife
she's got everything under control
or so it seems
one eye closed and the other eye blind
she's the walking wounded but she says she's fine
and the only time that she's free is when she dreams
chorus:
don't go home, don't go home Louise
don't go home, don't
don't go home, don't go home Louise
don't go home, don't
just as long as she stays away
the piper won't call, she won't have to pay
there's those that say, it's better that way
but in Louise there is a spark
of memory growing in the dark
and she knows she'll get that bastard one day
chorus
just as long as she stays away
the piper won't call, she won't have to pay
there's those that say, it's better that way
but in Louise there is a spark
of memory growing in the dark
chorus
don't go home, don't go home, don't go home...

The Faucet
my sexual preference is my bath tub faucet
you might say that I'm in a water closet
my tank is too small and my water bill is high
but my faucet and I get happily by
faucet and I
bye bye bye
I'm a hydrasexual...
Well I know people who play wirth their food
but I haven't met an eggplant that puts me in the mood
a faucet can't take your heart and run
after all it's just good clean fun
when it's all said and done
it's just fun fun fun
- check out the taps on that one!
Life with a faucet really is a breeze
you won't get pregnant or a strange disease
and if worse comes to worse and things go sour
don't worry baby there's your trusty shower
go with the flow
take me under...
I think I'm getting all wet...
my sexual preference is my bath tub faucet
you might say that I'm in a water closet
my tank is too small and my water bill is high
but my faucet and I get happily by
faucet and I
bye bye bye
throw out the vaseline and toss the KY
grab your shower cap and give it a try...

Sins of the Fathers
I carry the pain
that my father has left me
and I live in the fears
of my mother, her child
for year after year
the two walked beside me
I wish I had known them
long before now
and after all of this time
I now understand
the sins of the fathers
and where they must land
for year after year
I have felt them inside me
I wish I had known
to whom they belonged
in the heart of this mother
love for her child
is lost in the fear
of a truth never told
but time after time
in the reaching for freedom
with a leap from the darkness
can a new love unfold
and after all of this time
I now understand
the sins of the fathers
and where they must land
for year after year
I have felt them inside me
I wish I had known
to whom they belonged
I carry the pain
that my father has left me
and I live in the fears
of my mother, her child
for year after year
the two walked beside me
I wish I had met them
long before now

Solstice Carole
a fire is burning
the long night draws near
all who need comfort
are welcome by here
we'll dance 'neath the stars
and toast the past year
for the spirit of solstice
is still living here
we'll count all our blessings
while the mother lays down
with snow as her blanket
covering the ground
thanks to the mother
for the life that she brings
she'll waken to warm us
again in the spring
the poor and the hungry
the sick and the lost
these are our children
no matter the cost
come by the fire
the harvest to share
for the spirit of solstice
is still living here
a fire is burning
the long night draws near
all who need comfort
are welcome by here
we'll dance 'neath the stars
and toast the past year
for the spirit of solstice
is still living here

This Memory
in memory of the 14 women
murdered in Montreal
on December 6, 1989
early that morning
cup of coffee in her hand
kissed her mother on the cheek
said, "I'm more busy than I'd planned
I'll be coming home a bit late
but could you keep some supper warm
oh, just another busy day"
early that morning
getting ready by the door
kissed her lover on the cheek
said, I'll be coming back for more
oh, how I love you
we've got so much to live for baby
oh, I'll be coming home real soon
but it could have been me
just as easily
could have been my sister
left there to bleed
oh it could have been my father
or my brother done the deed
oh no, don't let me lose this memory
later on that evening
turn on my TV
listen as they're talking
about the news of a shooting spree
fourteen young women
shot dead in Montreal
oh, it's a killing of us all
yes, it's the killing of us all
and it could have been me
just as easily
could have been my lover
left there to bleed
oh it could have been my father
or my brother done the deed
oh no, don't let me lose this memory
and it could have been you
just as easily
could have been your sister
left there to bleed
oh it could have been your father
or your brother done the deed
oh no, don't ever lose this memory
don't let us lose this memory
because it could have been you or me
