Only Rhythm Breathing

Last night
I dreamt that I was freezing
Snow capped mountains rising up
And it felt right
Being cold like that
In the water
There's only rhythm breathing
Lift me out
Take me up
Carry me home again
Make ripples
Where the mountains see me naked
Oh the watch but do they see
They just know
Eons temperature
They can't sense
The elements I'm made of
No they can't sense
The elements I'm made of
Lift me out
Take me up
Carry me home again
Alive now
Feel the frigid air I'm breathing
Deep dark below
Hold me up
Oh you will come
To pull e out of it
In the water
There's only rhythm breathing
In the water
There's only rhythm breathing
mmmmmmm mmmmmm
mmmmmmm mmmmmm

One Step Back
03:21

Did you know I followed you
I have the quiet ways
I'm your shadow
Always one step back
To mind you
Listen for my footsteps now
An echo of your own
I'm on your path
Just a whisper
To remind you
No-one saw you enter here
No-one saw you leave
I came to find you
I'll be here
To mind you
Will you find yourself this time
You stepped out alone
Ended up inside
You won't make it on your own
I came to find you
I'll be here
The quiet one
To mind you
One step back
To mind you.

What it Means to Believe
03:08
|

You ask me
What it means to believe
But all I ever give you is poetry
A picture
A yearning glance
At the view
I give you my endless words
All my walks, talks
And overblown thoughts
And you ask me
Do I believe in you
Something strong as the day it was made
The one that gets an instant yes
Senses alive and the joy that you find
Oh' do I believe in you
Timeless time
And zero distance
A deity's word that binds us in it
All these things and non-things
I believe in you.
You ask me
What it means to believe
I paint pictures
From the things we feel
With these words
I'll make something for you to see
First you harken to the silence
Give a chord to a dying flame
Just as though we're starting over
A song brings us home
It means see
What's there in front of you
It means know
With your heart
What you see as true
I believe in you.

The Beach Walk
03:33
|

Ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh
I won't keep walking
Alone on this beach
The wind blowing sand
Any longer tonight
An hour's drive found me
A place to cry easy
But I won't agree
That we've had our time
Oh no
Oh no it cannot be
How 'bout the things
That make up our dreams
Oh you can't deny them babe
How about the lands
That we have not yet seen
Can't say you don't wanna go there
How about we do like we always could
Make it up babe
Oh ohhhh
Ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh
Guess I'll just drive home
Take the longer roads
Better driving than arriving
Without you
But the wind and the sand
Hitting cold on my cheek
I can face
Better than the ache
Of this
Oh no it cannot be
These thoughts get me nowhere
I should be like the tide
Mindful of time
Always follows the rhythms
Of reason and rhyme

Counting Cars
03:18
|

|
Counting cars is over
Looking everywhere I go
And hoping some slim chance
Would bring me you
Watching clouds is only watching
Not the wistful wonder
That by grace or fate
You'd find me too
Now here you are my counterpart again
And we'll hold true past all the ever ends
No sighing with the autumn leaves
Falling like my heart
Wishing you'd be reminded
It was us too
No accident no chance or whim
To bring you into view
Counting cars is over
This time it's true
Now here you are my counterpart again
And we'll hold true past all the ever ends

Make it Home
03:21

Blue sky
Winter chill
Walking through a morning
Get my sunlight fill
Highway
Winding hills
Dips and climbs
Through countryside
A friend's smile
Opening lines
your words then mine
To and fro
You're here now
We made it home
You're here now
We made it home
Don't fear now
You're not alone
You're here now
Crashing waves
Along the beach
Holding your hand
As water laps our feet
Driving
Yeah always driving
A broiling sky
The sun lights up
Call of joy
The little things
Or not so little
After all
No-one need go lonely now
That pact we made
I set in stone
If you get lost
I'll make sure you make it home
We'll make it home.

Into the Deep Blue
03:30
|
|||
|
I walk the streets
I don't see your face
So I look for what's to find
Something to take your place
I lost your note
Come any time
You're in town
If I can trust a memory
I'm sure that's what it would say
Fall into you
Into the deep blue
Fall into me
Free from gravity
On a clear day
Mid-year
Sunlight on your face
If I can trust a memory
I'm sure that's how it was
Waterside
I see your frame
Endless ripples
Call your name
A long embrace
Weeks in wait
Too long too long

Girl on the Hill
03:08
|

|
Oooh ooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh
Love drives us on to find it loves drives us on
What she did
Oh you wouldn't believe it
We tried to talk sense to her
But she'd made up her mind
Walked out the door
In the dark
Across the grass
Through the pouring rain
Up a winding forest road
To the top
So she could make one thing clear
It was love
And she needed him to know
Through the ether
What she did
Oh we had to believe it
Wet dress and dripping hair
Smiling from ear to ear
For she had walked out the door
In the dark
Across the grass
In the pouring rain
Up a winding forest road
To the top
So she could make
One thing clear
It was love
And she needed him to know
Through the ether
Oooh oooh oooh
Love drives us on to find it
Love drives us on
She needed him to know
She wanted him to know
She had not let him go
She had to tell him so

Just Texture Now
03:27

I know where the bottom lays
I know all the pitfalls
Tumbling down
I'll do it no more
We found our footing true and sure
We know how to carry on and on and on
We know how to carry on and on
Thank you emptiness for showing me
We've got what it takes to ever be
Dips and voids in waiting frames
Just texture now
A little sadness
They cannot be our despair
They'll never be an end
Oh we can smile no matter where
That's how we know the smallest thing
Won't find a way to eat our hearts
We'll never end
Won't find a way to eat our hearts
We'll never end
We know how to carry on and on and on
Dips and voids in waiting frames
Just texture now
A little sadness

First on my Bandcamp album playlist, Mr Cagey's Can of Worms. My oh my, the most heartfelt, honest and rarefied acoustic ep I've heard. Smack in a raw emotional place not quite healed. Stunning! Gina

Who Is Who
by Jim Kelly and Barry Leef
Top-notch jazz-rock in the vein of Steely Dan. The music is beautifully cool and the full soaring vocals of Barry Leef exceptional.
