I can't see you 
Cause everything's a commotion
 You're deeper 
Yeah I think you're an ocean 
And I'll get to the bottom of it 
I'll get to the bottom of it
 One day I'll get to the bottom of it 
I'm sure I will one day 

Yeah some day 
This troubled sea is gonna part 
Yeah some day 
I'll see inside your bruised heart
 And I'll get to the bottom of it
 I'll get to the bottom of it
 One day I'll get to the bottom of it 
I'm sure I will one day 

And if I don't drown in your ocean 
If I can sail upon your troubled heart
 Then maybe this is more than just a notion Yeah some day
 This angry sea is gonna part
 Yeah some day
 You just might turn my wooden heart
 And you'll get to the bottom of it
 You'll get to the bottom of it
 One day you'll get to the bottom of it
 I'm sure you will one day

 We'll get to the bottom of it
 We'll get to the bottom of it
 One day we'll get to the bottom of it
 I know we will one day

Somebody said Nothing rhymes with Kiyoung But I think that's stupid because Freedom and free love In pre-dawn you can be young If the magic don't leave us Nothing rhymes with Kiyoung And I do not want to be dumb But she is the reason That everything's in season And I'm writing all these songs Kiyoung Stree-ong Whatever you can Dream up we can get done Though it might be a little Beyond What you had planned Somebody said Nothing Rhymes with Kiyoung But clearly that is shee-ot Cause [scat] Right? Those rhyme Kiyoung Stree-ong Whatever you can Dream up we can get done Though it might be a little Beyond What you had planned Somebody said Nothing rhymes with Kiyoung But I think that's stupid because Freedom and free love In pre-dawn you can be young If the magic don't leave us Kiyoung Stree-ong Whatever you can Dream up we can get done Though it might be a little Beyond What you had planned

I feel surrounded like a train 
I feel surrounded like a bullet 
And everybody is sexy 
Now I know that it's not just me 

I want to know why it is I need everyone to be in love with me 

I want to know why it is I need everyone to be in love with me 

I want to know why it is I need everyone to be in love with me 

I want to know why it is I need everyone to be in love with me 

I feel surrounded like a train
 And everybody's sexy just like a bullet

 I want to know why it is I need everyone to be in love with me I want to know why it is I need everyone to be in love with me I want to know why it is I need everyone to be in love with me I want to know why it is I need everyone to be in love with me

Something is dead
 Something is blue
 Get out your door and stop your shaking 
I think I hear my bones breaking
 What about you 

Laid her down this strong woman 
Put her so far underground
 None of us lives forever 
I think that's so damn clever 
What about you 

Say what you will
 Things get bad but still
 There's more beauty to this world
 That I have yet to see

 Now the connection is bad 
You're barely coming through 

I said the line is bad
 You're barely coming through
 Get out your door and stop your shaking 
I think I hear my heart breaking 
What about you

 Get out your door and stop your shaking 
I think I hear my heart breaking
 What about you

What a beautiful face I have found in this place That is circling all 'round the sun What a beautiful dream That could flash on the screen In a blink of an eye and be gone from me Soft and sweet Let me hold it close and keep it here with me And one day we will die And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea But for now we are young Let us lay in the sun And count every beautiful thing we can see Love to be In the arms of all I'm keepin' here with me What a curious life They have found here tonight There is music, there is sounds from the street There are lights in the clouds Anna's ghost all around Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me Soft and sweet How the notes all bend and reach above the trees Now how I remember you How I would push my fingers through Your mouth to make those muscles move That made your voice so smooth and sweet And now we keep where we don't know All secrets sleep in winter clothes With one you loved so long ago Now he don't even know his name What a beautiful face I have found in this place That is circling all 'round the sun And when we meet on a cloud I'll be laughing out loud I'll be laughing with everyone I see Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

about

The World Trade Center fell.

I didn't lose anyone close to me and it didn't change my day-to-day life. But like a lot of people, I carried it around with me for months, having no idea where to put that strange mournful anxiety.

Then my last grandparent died, my dad's mom - Grandma Moorhead. She was sharp and happy and lived to a ripe old age. Her voice was the voice of my children's books. Her house was the Christmas house.

When Grandma Moorhead fell, everything changed, for better and worse. It was a hard time but, like all hard times, it was freeing, too. To be up against something as momental as that loss, it gives you some clarity, frees you up from sweating the small stuff.

That's where these songs came from, all except for 'Nothing Rhymes', which is for and about my wife. But that song is very at home here, too. I hope it all makes sense when you listen.

Thanks for listening!
