- New York Is A Woman
Letra
New York City spread herself before you With her bangles and her spangles and her stars You were impressed with the city so undressed You had to go out cruising all the bars Your business trip extended through the weekend Suburban boy here for your first time From the 27th floor above the midtown roar You were dazzled by her beauty and her crime And she's every girl you've seen in every movie Every dame you've ever known on late night TV In her steam and steel is the passion you feel Endlessly New York is a woman she'll make you cry And to her you're just another guy Look down and see her ruined places Smoke and ash still rising to the sky She's happy that you're here but when you disappear She won't know that you're gone to say goodbye And she's every girl you've seen in every movie Every dame you've ever known on late night tv In her steam and steel is the passion you feel Desperately New York is a woman she'll make you cry And to her you're just another guy - Ludlow Street
Letra
Love is the only thing that matters. Love is the only thing that's real. I know we hear this every day. It's still the hardest thing to feel. This time When I go back to Ludlow Street, I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete, Without you there. Another generation's parties. And it is still the same old scene. I can recall each morning after. Painted in nicotene. This time When I go back to Ludlow Street, I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete Without you there. All of the people I once knew. All of the ones I was close to. Love is the only thing that matters. Love the only thing that's real, And when I think about you now Love is the only thing I feel. This time When I go back to Ludlow Street, I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete Without you there. Tim, this time When I go back to Ludlow Street I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete Without you there. - Zephyr & I

Letra
The way of the world Has taken its toll Ravaged my body And bitten my soul I am ruined by rain Weathered by wind I've been invaded Without and within And I ask I am asking you Asking you if you Might still want me. Once you said I'm made of fine stuff. But I've been corrupted. And taken enough. Now you appear. Making your claim. Inside my heart Is the sign of your name. And I ask I am asking you Asking you if you Might still want me? All these words Like darling and angel and dear Crowd my mouth In a path to your ear. The way of the world Has taken it's toll Ravaged my body Bitten my soul And I ask I am asking you Asking you if you Might still want me? When I said: I am bound to you forever Here's what I meant: I am bound to you forever. - Unbound
Letra
I knew a plant Whose roots were bound And returned Into the ground Every day I watched it grow Every day It struggled so Roots were bound roots were bound Roots were bound into the ground Watched it grow watched it grow Watched it as it struggled so I dug it up I cut the twine And so like this I made it mine I watched it drink And watched it feed And grow beyond It's simple need Cut the twine cut the twine Cut the twine and made it mine Watched it feed watched it feed Watched it feed the simple need Unbound roots unbound Unbound into the ground Unbound roots unbound Unbound into the ground I was once Bound at the root Confined with twine Both mind and foot I cut it loose And now am free As anything Alive can be At the root bound at the root Confined both mind and foot Am free now am free As anything alive can be Unbound roots unbound Unbound into the ground Unbound roots unbound Unbound into the ground - As You Are Now
Letra
I will take up all your tears Salty tissues through the years Spread them in the sun to dry Diamonds from each time you cry I will treasure all your teeth Your laughter and the pearls beneath Keep them in a cardboard box Through the tickings and the tocks I will gather all your hair Floating in the sultry air We will make a braid of gold For you to keep when you are old Now I kiss your milky skin Sheet of silk and soul within Put this kiss upon your brow Treasure you as you are now - Angel's Doorway
- Anniversary
Letra
Fall and all attendant memories Crowd the day with unrelated histories Each year leaves its unresolving fantasies To hang around each corner Hang around each street. Thick with ghosts, the wind whips round in circuitries Carrying words as strangers exchange pleasantries Do they intrude upon your private reveries As they meet you on each corner Meet you on each street. Watch for daily braveries Notice newfound courtesies Finger sudden legacies As they clean up every corner Wash down every street. Mark the month and all its anniversaries Put away the draft of all your eulogies Clear the way for all your private memories As they meet you on each corner Meet you on every street. Make the time for all your possibilities. They live on every street.
