And I wanna see you
And I wanna feel you
And I wanna hold you in my heart and my mind.
And I wanna hold you in my arms again, when it's the right time.
Oh I know that you're the one for me
All I know is that I got to be free!
I have been waiting for a while to see you
I have been waiting for a little while.
Sugarcoat it for me, lie a little to me,
Tell me I'm the only one for you!

Honeycomb Heart
You had me right from the start
With your honeycomb heart.
Of all of the blooms you could have known
You chose me over the rose
You heard me callin’ from a mile away
Flower power brought you here
Now you’re coming back for more
If I am rubber, you are glue
You bumped into me, now I’m stuck on you
Honeysuckle rolled in the hay
You’re a golden lion lying in my bed
Honeycomb heart your sweetness is the hardest one to find
To the tops of the tallest branches, I don’t mind I will climb
I’ll open up your heart and comb through what I find
I’ll bring it home in time
And if you leave me to go chasing wildflowers
I don’t mind, I’ll be fine.
Ahhhh….Sugar so sweet it hurts my teeth...

The Awakening

Oh I started to see your soul in your eyes when you smiled
I started to see your soul in your eyes, then you lied
I started to feel at home in your arms, then you cried
I started to see your heart in the whole of the sky
I started to see your eyes in the sands of the times
I started to see the sun in the sand of your hand
And I started to see the truth of the heart of a man
Here in the bottom of my soul
I know just what I've always known.
Who am I to say what is or isn't right for you today?
Oh my god, we are awakening, awakening.
Oh my god, we are just slaves to them, we're slaves to them.
Oh my god, we are awakening, awakening.
Oh my god, this is the quickening, the quickening.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.
Walk to the edge and then walk through that door.
Drink from the waters we pulled from the well.
These are the waters our ancestors held.
We are the only one, we are the only ones.....

Heart in 2

You can break my arms, you can break my legs
You can do what you wanna do,
But please just promise me, that you will not
Break my heart in two.
It’s a sad, sad blue truth
I don’t love me as much as I love you.
half as much as I love you.
It’s not right, the things you do
But I stand by you no matter what you do.
Cause baby, I need you.
When I love, my love is true.
That is why I must be careful who I choose.
Take care just who I choose.
If you break me, know this too
I will always stay away from a guy like you
I’ll steer clear of men like you.
You can crash my car
You can slash my tires
You can wreck my home
Yeah you can cut my wires.
But please, please, please….
Do not break my heart in….

Honeydrop

We go back, and we go down
we go back, and way, way down.
Wasted honey drop
End of sentence, full stop.
Mr. Pitter Patter Peter Pan
Flew away to a far off land
Had a wife, but could no’t keep her
Flesh so sweet, he had to eat her (pause)
Humpty dumpty rode on piggy back
Straight on track for a heart attack.
Peter Piper Picked his pickled pecker
Loved her up, then up and left her.
You can take your cotton candy, cherry pickin’, finger-lickin
lovin and thread it through the needle of an eye.
I don’t wanna talk about it,
think about it, walk about it, wink about it-
I know it’s only gonna make me cry
I don’t wanna stop and wonder why x3
I know it’s gotta stop!---

Snakeskin Shoes
03:50
|

|
You put on your snakeskin shoes
And you walked on out that door
I saw that blue moon light
Splashin’ onto the floor
And who do you think you could have hid it from anyway
With your wandering eye locked on the way I sway
Hot silky palm, taking on the dawn,
the ivy was a drape wrapped in song…
We both want things we think that we can’t have
And what it is is the truth is just too sad…
I thought I could love you but it was just a mirage
And you thought you heard me say it
But it was just a pregnant pause…

No Shadow

Into the moss-green forest
Round to the edge of the evergreen glen
I kneel at the crystal waters
I bend to the rim, I drink from the lip
I don’t know no shadow
I dance in the dark, I dance up the dark.
Good god I’m a light, I light up the dark
I light up the dark, I light up the dark.
Down to the grey-green waters
Where the ocean moss clings to the rocks
I walk with my feet turned westward
I bend with the wave, I cling to the bluff
..Good god I’m a wave, I light up the dark..
Leedeedee...
Out to the sage-green meadow
Where the granite rock lines up the walk
I walk with my feet turned eastward
I bend with the years I bow with the tears.
Good god, I’m a life, I light up the dark...
HARMONY, TRAGEDY, COMEDY, CACOPHANY
MYSTERY, ECSTASY, PARODY, EULOGY...

When I think of the times in my life I was happiest
It’s under the trees by the sea or awake in your arms
I remember your kindness far more than your charms
I remember the brightness more often than dark
Eeeeeee….

The secret to happiness isn’t a secret
D Gmaj7add2 D Dsus4
Just dwell on the drum in your chest it will play you a tune
D Gmaj7add2 D Dsus4
And you’ll see without haste you’ll sleep easily soon
Sacred secret, sacred secret
The secret to happiness...

C-G7
Hey you caught me
Standing in the air.
You drew me to you,
I was everywhere.
The mountaintop would not stop
Bearing down without a sound.
The sun was hot, the stars were not
present but we felt them burning.
We are just two wanderers
Wandering Alone, together.
And when you see me,
You really see me
Friend of a feather!
Tell me how your garden grows
It grows from me
I am a tree
Blooming roses
Breathe me in
Gingerly
Juniper
Meadowsweet
Indigo bunting
Meadowlark hunting
For grain
You make me sane

I am changing
You are changing
Seasons are changing
Only love remains.

Hour Love

Chords: CGDA CGDD
When you lay on the warm, soft blanket of the earth, you know that you’re home.
We thought we’d spend an eternity lying there, when we only spent one
(H)our
Love
Is Pure, it builds us a door where there wasn’t a door there before.
When you open your eyes to the rising sun,
You know that you’ve won.
We thought we’d spend an eternity lying there when we only spent one
The meaning of life is to love
The meaning of life is LOVE
OUR LOVE IS PURE
It builds us a door
Where there wasn’t a door there
It gives us a hope where there wasn’t a hope there
It builds us a boat where there was only a moat there
There wasn’t a door there before.
C Em Am G
C Em Em7 Am
Quicksand can bring you down real slow
A Cascade of moments, a growing pressure,
Then you know.
There's no way to make sense of it all so don't even try.
Just reach out your hand and we'll emerge crystallized.

F L O U R I S H
by C O R A F L O R A
The sounds of this album echo, swirl, and reverberate in my body. I feel drunk on the ocean's thrum, a bee's decadent hum, a flower's nectar and hue. It truly is a tool to blossom by.
